ready for printing. He moved the re-

sidered with the resolution.
Paris and Achi discussed the de-

INCOME TAX BILL.
Dickey presented a joint conference
committee report on Senate Bill 1913,
recommending that it "pass in the
form in which it passed the Senate,
the House receding from its amend
ments." The reasons given were
these:
"The amendment of the House in
adding a new section to the bill is
impracticable, as it would cause the
taxes which are by law assessed in
which would be quite unavoidable.
"Section 9, as inserted by the
House, is not in accord with the title
of the bill, as it does not amend any
of the sections mentioned therein.
"While we would like to see the
income taxes of corporations collected
and assessed where the property of the
plantations is situated, we feel that
the object cannot be accomplished by
the amendment proposed. 4"
The report was adopted, McCandless
alone voting no.
