Themes Says Formidable Opposition Will

Representative Themes says the tobacco
dealers declare they will defeat his cigar
cite license bill, and have telegraphed to
the big manufacturers in the East to help
them do so. He states that there are ten
thousand boys In Marion county alone who
are smoking cigarettes and thus injuring
their health, and that his bill will make
cigarettes so expensive that dealers cannot
afford to handle the IN. and il will thus put
them to large extent out of reach of boys.
The law now on the statute book prohi bit
ing the sale of cigarettes to minors, Mr..
Thienes says. is a dead letter. HIS bill was
favorably reported yesterday and seems
likely to pass the House. though there will
be a lively fight made on it by the tobacco

Mr.. Mccullough moved to reconsider the
Resolution providing for the printing of all

lie said that before the resolution had been
in sorce many days the House would find it
very expensive proceeding. and thought
the expense was by no n:anns justified by
the accommodation such printing and DIS
tributIon of bills would afford members.
The motion was entered.
The committee on State medicine. health
and vital statistics recommended the in
definite postponement of Mr.. Guthrie's bill
TO prevent deception in the sale of dairy
products. and also of Mr.. Moons bill TO
amend an act concerning the practice of
medicine. The House concurred. as it did In

Atlanta Constitution (Dem.)
Mr.. Cleveland is justly popular in all parts

there is no reason why their friends should
quarrel with each other. Yet there is one
fact that should not be lost sight of,

obligations at higher rate void. The re-
port of the judiciary committee favored
the indefinite postponement of the bill. and
the matter came mp on motion to non-
concur The argument was advanced that
such law would drive money out of the
State and paraly ze business. Senator Hob
son said the country was full of money
going begging at 8 per cent. and that the
demand for higher rate was IN the inter-
est of the money-lenders. The report of
the committee to indefinitely postpone was
not concurred in. and the bill was ordered

REVENUES OF TIE CITY.
Opponents Of the Charter Say They Can Be In
creased Without Changing the Levy.

One of the features in the city charter
bill to which objection is urged by certain
citizens is that il increases the tax rate.
There is no cause for this. it is claimed, as
revenues from taxation are increasing from
year to year at q steady rate, and it is
urged this rate can be made still greater by
the collections from licenses and special
privileges. The following tabulated state
ment, taken from the official records in the
auditors Office shows the comparative in
crease in the value of taxable property in
this city during the past five years:
