Atlanta, Dec. 8-The house Saturs
day voted down the amendment to the
general tax bin by Mr.. Hall, Of Bibb,
to increase the general tax rate to 6,22
mills, by the large majority Of Ill to
4.
The bill as reported by the ways and
means committee fixed the general tax
rate at mills. of which 3.18 Is for
general purposes and 1872 for the sink
ing fund In addition there is q tax
of .23 mills for the sinking fund, MAX
ing total of 5,23 mills, or $5.23 on
$1,000.
Mr.. Halls amendment proposed to
make the tax for general purposes AIT
mills, an increase of SO mills. This
would put the total at 6.22
The committees action fixing the
tax rate at mills was adopted by g.
large majority vote

ed in the debate and in the result.
No warmer fight has ever been
made at this session than that on this
section of the general tax bill, which
proposes to put thds graduated tax on
all foreign corporations doing business
in Georgia
There will be something doing every
minute during this, the last week Of
the legislative session Of 1909. Wheth.
er the general assembly will adjourn
on Friday or Saturday has not yet been
determined. The last day of the ses.
sion is Friday, but If yesterday (sun.
day. should be declared a dies non,
as a resolution now before the houses
proposes, adjournment sine die will
not be had until Saturday night.
Despite the fact that but Ave or si1
more days remain, none of the most
important work of the session is com,
pleted, and it now develops that those
who were porposing to get the appro.
priations bill and the general tax bill
to tine governor week or ten days
before the close of the session were
pursuing sort Of ianis fatuus. A
great deal of work remains to be
done on these measures, and they will
probably be the very last matters
finally acted on both by the house and
senate.
The University of Georgia will get
$22,500 each year for the next two
years for maintenance fund and this
will enable the institution to take ad.
vantage of the Peabody offer Of $50.
600 for new library building for the
college.
This much was settled by the senate
committee on appropriations Saturday
morning and it is to be expected that
the action Of the committee will be
confirmed as to that item when the
measure is reported back to the upper
house The house had already agreed
upon the amount named for the univer.
sity.

Passes Resolutions.
SIGNAL MARK OF RESPECT.
For House to Take Action on Death of
Former Member Has Only Three
Precedents In History, Namely, Ben
ton, Blaine and Stephens.

Washington, Dec. S.-The house to-
day paid a remarkable tribute to the
memory of Speaker Thomas B. Reed.
His death had created a profound i'm
preston and there was universal
desire among the members that the
house show signal mark of respect
to his memory For the house to
take action on the death of a former
member had only three precedents in
its history, namely, on the occasions
of the death of Benton, Blaine and
Alexander Stephens, when the house
adopted resolutions and adjourned out
of respect to their memories. 1t was
decided to follow these precedents. At
the opening of the session q feeling
tribute was paid to the ex-speaker by
the chaplain. No business was trans
acted except the arrangement to post
pone the special order for tOday-the
London dock bill-until tomorrow
Mr.. Sherman, of New York, then
amid profound silence, arose and, in a
few feeling remarks, offered the fol
lowing resolution

utes be spread upon the records OF

% years he was member of the house
and for six years its speaker. His
service terminated with the Fifty-ffth
| congress. Within this chamber the
scene of his life's great activities, was
laid. Here he rendered services tC
his country which placed him in the
front rank of American craftsmanship
Here he exhibited characteristics
which compelled respect and won ad
miratiOn. FOrceful ability, intrinsic
worth strength of character, brought
him popular fame and congressional
leadership In him depth and breadth
of intellect full and rounded develop
ment had produced a giant who tow
cred above his fellows and impressed
them with his power and his wisdom
"a distinguished statesman; a lofty
patriot; a cultured scholar and Incl
sive writer; an unique orator, an un
matched debater, master of logic
with and satire; the most famous ol
the worlds parliamentarians-
great and representative citizen of the
American republic has gone into his
tory.
Resolved, That in honor of the
dead, the house now adjourn"
When the reading of the resolutions
were concluded, Speaker Henderson
asked if there was objection to thell
present consideration. The silence
remained unbroken. The resolutions
were then unanimously passed, and the
house, at 1880 o'clock, adjourned,

ZERO WEATHER is REPORTED
Chicago Reports Much Suffering

states-Traffic Interrupted.

Chicago, Dec. 8.-The cold wave that
bore down on this city, accompanied
by a slight snowfall, reached its eli
max at o'clock today, with zero tenn
perature.
Five fatalities from causes directly
attributed to the weather have been
reported to the authorities and numer-
Gus cases of destitution incident to
the sudden drop in the temperature
were reported during the night and in
the early morning. Early traffic on
the railroads, street railways and ele-
waited roads was interfered with in
general, many of the suburban trains
being from 20 minutes to half an hour
late, while through trains from the
east and west are reported from to
6 hours late.
The shortage of the coal supply was
severely felt for the first time in many
quarters, the suffering being not en-
tirely confined to the poorer classes,
but many people in more fortunate cir
cumstances suffered from inability to
secure fuel, it being almost impossi-
BILE to procure coal at any price at
some of the outlying coal yards.
