j Atlanta. —By vote of 141 to 51 —5
more than the requisite constitutional
majority—the Georgia houses of rep
resentatives passed the Lankford hill
providing for the levying of an in
come tax for the support of the state
of Georgia.
As the measure is a constitutional
amendment, it is necessary that the
affirmative vote be a two-thirds ma
jority of the total membership of the
house, or 138 votes, two-thirds of the
roll of 206 members. It will be nec
essary, before the provisions of the
bill are finally adopted into the Con
stitution of the state, that the action
of the legislature be ratified by the
voters of the state at the polls at the
next general election, in November,
1524.
Both houses of the general assembly
took recess Thanksgiving, and will re
convene December 3, a joint resolu
tion calling for this disposal of the
Thanksgiving week-end having been
adopted. An attempt to make the
four-day recess “dies non,” or without
pay, failed, the members having vot
ed to receive their seven dollar per
die msalary just as though they were
in session.
At the hour of adjournment the
house was debating the Ennis revenue
measure, which provides for a reve
nue department with a commissioner
of revenue and deputies, whose duties
shall be the collection of delinquent
taxes.
Several substitute measures were
offered to this bill. One, by Repre
sentative Milner, of Dodge, would
place the revenue department under
jurisdiction of the comptroller gen
eral, and provide for an additional
SIOO,OOO bond for that' official, the
premium to be paid by the state, It
also provides for six field agents at
a salary of S2OO per month each.
Before the recess, the senate voted
to table the substitute offered by
Senator Stephens Pace for the Phil
lips budget bill providing for the cre
ation of a budget commission, which
would regulate. expenditure of state
funds and recommend appropriations
for the various state departments.
Denounced as pernicious in princi
ple, ineffective in operation, its pro
visions flagrantly disregarded, its spir
it violated, the general tax act, amend
ed in many essentials, was passed by
the senate. Only three votes were re
corded against its adoption, though
the senate was practically unanimous
In scoring its provisions, as a whole.
Contested provisions of the bill were
disposed of as follows:
Grand opera tax, as provided by the
house, repealed.
Special tax on high grade candy,
as proposed by the senate finance
committee, defeated, unanimously.
Proposed increase in the tax on
the gross premiums of insurance com
panies, as provided by the house, de
feated.
The senate accepted a substitute for
the committee amendment increasing
the occcupation tax on moving picture
film distributors. The substitute
fixes a graduated tax ranging from
SSO to SI,OOO a year, based on the
gross business of the distributor.
