Of the House who favor a tax on fran
chises won out in a preliminary Skin
mish on the floor to-day, when a vote
was taken on the resolution by Mr..
Tigner of Muscogee, providing for the
appointment of a special committee of
fifteen members to consider all bills
and resolutions relating to the taxation
of franchises.
The resolution came back from the
Committee on Rulesl with an adverse
report, it being apparent that it's adop-
ton would mean delay in any legisla-
ton on this subject. The adverse re-
port was adopted by a vote of Sc to 81,
which killed the resolution.
Mr.. Tigner appealed for it's passage
in order that representatives of cor
porate interests might be given a
hearing. Mr.. Reid of Campbell chair
man of the Ways and Means Commit
tee. opposed it because he said it meant
delay beyond the hope of any fran
chise tax legislation at this session.
He spoke of the prospective deficit in
the treasury and said that there was
constant lobbying going on around the
door of the Ways and Means Commit
tee with the result that every effort to
raise revenue had been defeated. The
general tax bill. he said, would not
raise as much money as was the case
last year. Mr.. Tigner characterized
Mr.. Reid's speech as demagogic, but
there were mutual explanations.
At the meeting of the Ways and
Means Committee of the House this
afternoon the resolution preventing
any franchise tax amendment to the
general tax act was reconsidered by a
vote of II to Z. and two amendments.
seeking to require that all franchises
be returned as property and taxed as
such, We're offered.
Several lawyers representing corpor-
ate interests were heard against these
measures. and the committee post
poned the further consideration until
The Appropriations Committee at this
afteEnoon'sAses RECONSTRUCTED it's ac-
ton of last night and adopted all the
appropriations that have heretofore
gone into the bill. Nothing new was
accomplished beyond this. After
a little more debate, action was taken,
adverse to the resolution, and the fran
chise tax bills will remain before the
committees, to which they have been
referred.
Cnnn's Request withdrawn.
The House refused to grant the re-
quest by Mr.. Cam of Chatham that
the bill by Mr.. Gaulden of Brooke,
prohibiting turf exchanges from doing
business in the state, which was given
unanimously favorable report by the
General Judiciary Com mittee, be re-
ferred to the committee in order that
parties from Savannah might be heard
in opposition to the bill.
