The only serious ui 'agreement came when eccticn 9 cf the bill was reached. A spirited debate was th *u frecipivated over the committee amend ment which seeks to allow county of- to collect their fees out. of the county treasury in ca. es where crim inals convicted by then are worked cn the roads in that county, The committee an tho Western and Atlantic road Thursday decided to re port favorably the resolution of Mr. Alexander, of E-e Kalb, providing for the creation cf a commission to inves ligate the subject of extending the state read to the &ea and the use of the state’s convicts for that purpo. e. The resolution, which was Introduc ed on the first clay of®the extra ses sion .provides for the creati n cf a com. mission or, nine members, three to be appointed by the speaker of the hou. e, two by the president of the senate and lour citizens to be named by the gov ernor, who shall inquire into the feas ibility of employing the state’s con* Vlcts in extending the Western and A.tlantic railroad to the sea and report to the next general assembly, The sum of $2,000 is appropriated under tho resolution to pay the expenses ol euch an investigation. Atlanta, Aug. 29.- —The convict bill of Representative Holder of Jackson, which passed the house at the regu- • lnr session cf the general a: semfcly, ! was again adopted in somewhat amended form by that body on Friday by a vote of 99 to £S, The house began the consideration Of the measure by sections on last Thursday, the third day of the. extra session. Before adjournment it had adopted eight sections. Now the ad ditional sections nave been compl t and. The licu.,o finished its woik within the time in which it could have acted. This wa3 the only measure before the body. From the opening day the line-up was noticeable, but there : vas never any doubt from the begin ning of the e.uecess of the Tlclder measure. The Holder Frovicicno. The Holder bill provides that upon the expiration of the present lease • cn Mcii. 31, 1909, the founda tion cf a fund shall be begun which will be used for working all the fel-' ony and misdemeanor convicts of the state on the public reads. Counties and municipalities will have the privilege of using them for this purpose, beginning April 1, 1909 the remainder to be leased out to indi viduals until Dec. 31, 1911. After the latter date no convicts whatever shall Le leased to private parties. The measure now goes to the up per hells'©. Income Tax Feature of Convict Bill Is ' Killed. Atlanta, Aug. 31. —The new convict till introduced Friday in the senate kni backed, apparently, by the sig natures of twenty-three senators, enough to pass It SLrcugn that body, seems, in the vernacular cf the Geor gia cracker, to abornin’.” The “skiddo-o” bill, as some of its signers have affectionately 'termed it, because there were even twenty-three of them ~ will scarcely reach the dig nity cf a second reading. The main opposition has grown out of the income tax feature, against which numerous protests began to pour in as soon as it was learned that this measure probably had some re epectable following in the senate— seemingly enough to pass it. Tax Hit Everybody. The income tax, as proposed in this measure, would have hit every man in Georgia, who earns anything, even, it is said, the day laborer. It would in effect, have opened the books of merchants and business men to the competitors. Naturally, they did not want it, and some of the senators .heard from their constituents against it in no unmeaning terms before the proposition was twenty-four hours old. The result is the “23” bill is dead; it was practically a corpse when dis covered. Bprden of Wcrk in Senate. ‘ Anew week started Monday in the general assembly on the convict lease question, and the passage of some bill to improve the penitentiary system of the state.. The burden of the work will rest in the senate, while the house, will quietly rest on its oars for de velopments in the upper house. The house of representatives has practically finished all of its business for the present. in. the scxlcTs there is the Fallei Official Groan of Dade County.

The Holder bill is going to meet with a great deal more antagonism; there than it did in the lower house. ! Even then it cannot be put on its passage before Wednesday, for the law j is that it has to be read on three: separate days cf the session belore i* ( can go before the tody for a vct, Atlanta, Sept. 1. —After much spir ited debate the house committee on penitentiary and penitentiary matters, Monday afternoon, by an‘overwhelm ing vote, reported favorably the bill by Mr. Wise, of Fayette, to levy a tax. on the manufacture, distribution and sale of near beer for the purpose of raising revenue for the care of the' convicts after the abolition - '.of the lease system. - It taxes the manufacturer of near beer and the distributor of the same SSOO annually and makes It a general tax act . The firm, corporation or In dividual who sells near beer is to pay a tax of S2OO per annum. If the house adopts the amendment offered to the Perry substitute limiting by constitutional amendment, the lease system after Dec. 31, 1911, as propos ed by Mr. Dunbar, of Richmond, tne state may continue to gain some rev enue from the working of its convicts, for this amendment provides that the constitutional amendment shall not prevent the working of these convicts on contract labor. This amendment also provides that the convicts so worked shall be in the custody of the state, cared for by the state, clothed, guarded and work ed by the state on contracts to be made for their hire. It simply pro vides that their labor, but not their bodies, shall be sold. In the Senate. The senate Monday consumed five ; hours’ debate on the various convict, bills originating in that body.
