The bill provide* for Inspection of
all Illuminating oil* produced, eold or
used In the elate. Oil uaed by the rail-

roads Insist that It la none of the
state's business about their oil.
They contend Ihnt the oil la Inspect
ed In another state before tha trains
come Into Georgia, and that another
Inspection I* not necessary.
. Officials of the department of agri
culture, under which the oil Inspection

One of the most Important l>lil:
troduced in the house of representa
tlves Friday .morning was In the natun
of a resolution os to taxes by Mr.
Alexander, of DeKalb.
The resolution provides for the col
lection of back taxes from the Georgia
Railroad and Hanking Company and
its IvisSees. In the bill all previous
grants are declared void and null, and
It Is the purpose of the act to make
the railroads pay a tax on their sur
plus to ev?ry county and municipality,
Including school districts through
which they may pass.
The bill Is aa follows:
Be It resolved by the general assembly
of Georgia, and It Is hereby so resolved
and declared. That the right of taxation
is a sovereign right, Inalienable, inde
structible, In ,th^ life of the state, and
rightfully belongs to the people In nil Ite
publican governments, ana neither the gen
ersl assembly nor any nor all other de
pertinents of the government have, ot
ever have had the authority to irrevocably
give, grant, limit or restrain this tight:
sod all laws, grants, contracts, and all
other acts whatsoever, by said government
or any department thereof, to effect nny
of these purposes, no matter when mnde
or upon what consideration, are hereby
declared to be null and void for every
purpose whatsoever? and aald right of
taxation la now, nud of right has ever
been, under the complete control of the
state, notwithstanding any gift, grant, or
contract whatsoever by the general assem-
bly.
Be It farther resolved and
the general assembly. That th
of these truths In the constitution I I
crested no new principle of law, but was
merely a restatement of fundamental
trntbs that always existed, and that li;
the nature of things it never conld bav«
l»een otherwise, unless the general asacin
lily bad the power to abdicate the duties
of government and commit the stats to
ftl Be C llTfurther resolved, Thnt any dictum
which may ever at any time hove been
pronounced by the authority of tin* fed
eral Judiciary to the contrary of these
truths, was an erroneous ruling for which
It baa Itself expressly Indicated Its re
gret, aa well as ny necessary Implication,
and from which It ought to recede In the
Interest of substantial Justice nud for- the
advancement of truth.
Be It further resolved. That Insofar as
the Judiciary of this state acted npou any
contrary theory In the case of The State
of Georgia vs. J he Georgia ltaUnsid and
Banking Company In the year 187». It did
so merely In submission to superior power,
nnd with nn express protest against the
Impropriety *>f such theory, nnd sgaln In
the venr ift79 declared thnt such contrary
doctrine would seem strange to posterity,
however much It might be compulsory on
the courts of this generation to accept
Be It further resolved. Thnt while the
geueral assembly will, lu the same spirit
of protest, submit to such erroneous In
terpretation of the law ns far, sad only
as fur, ss It Is compelled to do It, It now
renews for the legislative department of
the government of Georgia the declaration
rontalued In the first of these resolutions,
and declares that it Is the, duty of the
executive to use every vestige of |»ower
remaining In It for requiring nil persona,
whether corporate or natural, to contrib
ute their share to the burdens of govern
incut mimiii the basis of exnct equality.
And this Is more especially true now,
since our own Judlclul department hos
declared during the present .year, and upon
the motion of the Georgia Railroad uud
Banking Company Itself, that n Jmlgraent
as to taxes Is a conclusive adjudication
utilv ss to the taxes of the year Involved.
Be it farther resolved. That even tinder
the authority of the decisions referred to.
It is the duty of the executive to collect
taxes from the Georgia Railroad and Bank
ing Company npou all the surplus value of
Its property urrr and above the fare value
of ao much or the atork thereof aa ivna
Intended b* the rharter of antd company,
ami that Inasmuch aa the sworn dorian-
Ilona, of the prealdenl of aald company,
now of file In the office of the comptroller
ifcnernl, aver thnt the physical pronertlea
of aald company have n valuation of eight
nillllotni of drllara. It la the doty of aald
comiimiy to pity a tax at least on aald
aiirplua to every connty unit municipality,
luefuillin: action! district*. . .
And the general assembly doea hereby
declare. That even If aneh charter oxetiip-
Ilona are or over were hlndlng on the
state, that by 'he terms of said alleged,
exemption II applied to the stock as aneh
alone! and not to the phyaleal properties
ami franchises of aald company or any
part thereof: that la the year 1*31 the
general niaemhlv granted to the Augusta
ami Katonton ltullrond nud Tnriiiilke T om
pane ua exemption .from taxation for a
limited period of ten year* npou "the
stock milt the resl esiste which way be

general Hiwcinblv repealed the charter of
the Augusta mid Katnutou Itallniail and
twelve seminary boys and girls. The
costuming and scenic effects of this
act are said to be splendid.

good things are Gertrud* lloffman.

Taken as a whole, next week's at

cal theatergoers have evident reason to
congratulate themselves on the pleaa-
ure In store during the coming week
