OCCUPATION TAX
 BILL PASSED UP
Representative Smith Announces That With Passage of Bill Providing State Tax Commission, He Win Not Call Up Other Measures.

Little Rock, April 15.-After the passage of the Smith Bradham bill, creating the state tax commission, by the house this morning, Mr. Smith, of Ashley, one of the authors of the measure, announced that he would not again call up the measure pro- viding for an occupation tax, since he believed the present bill would re- suit in the end sought, that of rais- ing revenue. This means that the oc- cupation tax bill will hang. high and dry on the calendar until the end of the session, and then pass into what the gentleman from Fulton would re- fer to as "innocuous desuetude," where it will forever after remain That is, provided the tax commission bill becomes a law.
 The occupation tax bill was pro- posed by Mr. Smith early in the ses- sion, and levies an occupation tax on every firm, company and corporation doing business in the state, the rate being fixed usually at a certain per cent of the gross business done dur ing the year. The announcement that 1t will not again be called up will be interesting news in various sections of the business world.
