WOSESPERCENT AS UUM rtx PEOPLE MUST APPROVE TC MAKE LAW SOLONS TAKE RECESS STATE NEWS OF INTEREST Brief News Items Gathered Here And There From All Sections Of The State 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.
