efficient members, and though
her body is absent her sweet,
character remains with us to
comfort, cheer and to help ns
better the life before us.
Second. That we humbly bo .
in submission to divine wisdom
and purpose of our Lord and
Master, Jesus Christ,
Third. That we extend our
deepest deepest sympathy to th
family into whose home this
shadow has so darkly fallen and
pray for its speedy passing.
Fourth. That a copy of these
resolutions be forwarded to the
family, one put upon the records
ei our Circle and copies forward
ed to the Christian Index and
county papers for publication.

INCOME TAX BILI
BACK IN SENATE
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THE
ADOPTION FOR SECOND
TIME fl
STATE MEWS OF INTEREST
Brief News Items Gathered Here
And There From All Sections
Of The State
Atlanta.—After a deadlock In the
senate a compromise on tho Lank
ford bill providing for tho levying ot
. > Income tax on a graduated scale
not to exceed 5 per cent, was reached
- the afternoon when the upper
Louse committee on constitutional
omendipents decided to recommend it
a nin for passage. A companion
i asure providing for the reduction
f the state ad valorem tax rate from
to 4 mills will accompany the com
mittee's favorable report.
The senate recommitted the incotno
tax bill after it had adopted two com
mittee amendments, one improving
the clause for crediting of ad va
lorem tax payments on income tax as
f ssments and vice versa, and the
other establishing the exemption for
single persons not less than $1,000,'
for married persons not less than $2,-
000, and for each dependent not lesa
than S4OO.
Reconsideration of the bill was
voted by the senate 21 to 10 when it
came up for passage at the morning|
s ;sion. After failing on a first ef
fort the senate on second motion,
vi ied to recommit the bill for further
consideration of the constitutional
amendments committee. The bill had
been favorably recommendod by the
committee following lengthy discus
sion and the senate’s action In recom-j
mltting It camo as a surprise to advo-;
cotes of the measure.

amendments, the I-ankford measure 1*
