NEW YORK, July 25.-One line of in

FARMERS FREE LIST
BILL PASSES HOUSE
TAXMEASDRE BEATEN
Johnson Bill Empowering Leg
isIature to Exempt Farm
Products Is Passed by
1874 to 10

Johnson's free list bill passed the
house Thursday morning by a vote Of
1s4 to Is. but the bill by Mr. Ashley
OF Lowndes. 10 levy a tax OF mill dur
ing 1913 to pay back salaries owed to
teachers was defeated by being tabled
The free list bill empowers the legis-
lature 10 exempt farm products from tax
alton during the period of a year
The bill entails constitutional amends
ment, and IL IL passes the upper house Of
the assembly, will be submitted to a vote
at the next general election.
The enactment Of this measure will Be
the first step toward tax exemption Of
farm products. In itself, the bill does NOT
provide for the relief Of such products
from taxation, but it prepares the way
for future legislatures to free cotton and
other products of the farm from Il
months tax.
PURPOSE OF BILL.
The purpose of the bill is to enable
farmers to hold cotton for a higher
price.
An efFort was made last week TO tab1a
this bin. but the motion with that pur-
pose was defeated Overwhelmingly and
the measure was set as q special order
for Thursday.
Tt describes the farm products that are
to be exempt from taxation as those
Including baled cotton grown IN this
state and remaining in the hands Of ths
receiver
TAX MEASURE BEATEN
On the heels of the senate's concur
renee in the Alexander-Tippins suhsti-
tute that deducts the near-beer tax
from the states income. the house "a
bled the bill to pay to teachers salaries
that extend back over q year
- - ~ A -
Lowndes. was authors provides that an.
additional tax of mill should be levied
during the year 1919 for the purpose Of
raising 100000 with which to meet
the debt that the state owes its teach
ers. tf
But when the house reached q vote
on the committee report favoring the
bill defeat so evidently stared the bill
in the face, that supporters OF the
measure moved that 1t be tabled. This
motion was adopted by a vote Of 81
to IS.
The effect of tabling this bill is to
defeat it. There is no possibility Of
its being brought again to the atteu-
tion of the house at this session.
Since the MEASURE provided for an in
crease in taxation. il necessitated q con-
stitutional amendment and required .
| two-thirds vote for its passage But IL
lacked even bare majority.
| When debate, on the bill had ended, a
motion was made to disagree on the
committees favorable report, and this
motion really carried, but before the
vote could be announced. supporters Of
the bill asked to have the bill tabled,
and their motion prevailed.
An effort was made to secure an aye"
and may" vote TO show just how each
member stood on the bill to pay the
teachers, but the call for the vote
that would put each on record was de-
| feated.

charged as superintendent Of the state
reformatory at Milledgeville. induced a
resolution that was introduced in the
house Thursday morning by, Mr.. Mac
IntyTe of Thomas, providing for an in

thune and the commission.
The charges are made in a written
statement addressed to the reformatories
committee OF the house. of which Mr..
MacIntyre is chairman.
Following are Mr.. Bethune's charges:
THE CHARGES.
1.-The Georgia state reformatory, a sep
arate state institution.f established as
such by the legislature, is being adj
ministered without due regard for law.
Appointments of employees are made
there from favoritism and not for eff1-
cheney. --s
The law provides for one superintend-
ent for the reformatory who by law is
required to reside there. There are now
two superintendents of the reformatory,
one of whom does not reside there. The
object and purpose Of the legislature Is
being defeated, and the state is at con-
siderable expense with no hope of re-
turns of any kind.
THE writer was superintendent there
for five years. He was dismissed from
the service of the institution for no rea-
son except that he respectfully protest.

the REPEATED irregularities being then

He respectfully appealed for a hear
ing before the prison commission when
the whole board should be present. They
defeated that by telegraphing an imposL
sible date for compliance. And afterward
appointed a date for hearing two weeks
after the decree had been fully exc
cuted
