After tine recess, several house bills were
advanced stage, and house amendments
to a number OF senate bills concurred In
House bill to reduce the tax on mer-
chants wss taken mp on third reading
Mr.. Brandon opposed the bill, contend
ing thst merchants we're taxed one hun
dred per cent. lower than before the war,
while the tax on the producer had been
increased four hundred psF cent.
Mr.. Du Bose, in an eloquent speech,
supported the msasure. He argued that
the merchants by this bill Ouly asked to
be taxed as much as any other class of
the community, and half as much again.
He protested against the ontipuation of
the present oppressive rate, which, he
said, was driving commerce from the
State.
Mr. Patterson said that it would be
dangerous to reduce the tax any lower,
as slresdy it was reduced bslow that of
the former, and if cut down lower, the
effsct would be to drive the population to
the commercial centers, to ths detrimsnt
OF the agricultural interests of the State.
Mr.. Porter offered an amendment TO
repeal the privilege tax on merchants
altogether.
Mr.. Brandon offered an amendment in
lieu thereof to levy q tax of forty cents
on the one hundred dollars on the invoice
price of goods where purchased, unless
the tax has been psid once before, as in
the case of country merchants, who buy
goods already taxed.
