On* of the moat Important bills In
traduced In tha bouaa of represents
tlvea Friday mornlnc was In tbe nature
of a resolution aa to taaaa by Mr.
Alexander, of OeKalb.
Tha resolution provides for the col
lection of back taxes from the Qeoryla
Railroad and Banking .Company and
Ita lessees. In. the bill all-previous
■rants are declared void and null, and
It la tha purpose of the act to make
the rallroada pay a tax on their sur
plua to every county and municipality.
Including school district through
which they may pass.
The bill la aa follows:
He It reeotred by the general assembly
of Georgia, and It Is hereby so resolved
snd declared, Tbnt Ike right of tasatlou
sovereign right, Inalienable, lode
atrurtlhle, In tbs life of the state, and

purpose whatsoever; ad<1mId right of
taxation la now, and of right baa ever
bean, under the. complete control of tba
state, notwithstanding any gift, grant, or
contract wbatsoevsr by tbe general aasetn-
ft# It farther repaired and declared by
me general aaaemblr. That the declaration
of these truth* In tne roustltutlou of 1S77,
created do new principle of law, but war
merely a restatement of fundamental
truths that always existed, and that lu
tha nature of things It never could hare
been otherwise, unless tbe general asseiu
‘ had the power to abdicate tbe dutlei
_ government and commit the state to
anarchy.
Be K further reaolrod. That any dictum
which may erfr at any time have been

A bill Introduced by Henator Herbert
Williams Thursday will meet oppoal.
tion In some of Ita features. If thU
opposition doea not come from the aen-
Ate It will come from the house.
* The bill provides for Inspection of
all Illuminating_oll* -produced, sold or
used In the state. Oil used by the rail*
roads Is not Inspected now, because the
roada Insist that It la none of the
state's business about their oil.
They contend that the oil le Inspect
ed In another etate before the trains
< ome Into Georgia, and that another
Inspection la not necessary.
Officials of the department of agri
culture, under which the oil Inspection
Is conducted, think It makes for public
safety to Inspect the oil used by the
railroads or for any purpose In Qeor-
gln This feature of the bill will prob
ably pass.without serious opposition.
But the proposition to raise the sal
ary of the state oil Inspector from
SI,200 to $1,600 will have opposition.
, Dr. \V. r. Bryan now* holds that place.
His duties are not arduous, and very
little of hla time la required In the
•work. Already some members are say
ing that the Job Is a sinecure, ami
that $1,)00 Is more than enough pay.
< Senator Peyton Introduced a Mil Fri
day to Increase the salaries of the com-
ml*aloner of agriculture, the commis
sioner of penalona and the state school
rommlaaloner from $2,000 to $S,000 per
annum. It la the policy of the times
to pay public official* what they are
worth, and these Increases will hardly
meet with aerlous opposition, If any at
all.
If the commissioner of agriculture la
given the $1,000 Increase, the salary
Hat of the department will be near
$12,000 per year.
