BILL WOULD PREVENT
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS
viii Come Before LGgiSId.
ton Soon

After weeks of revision and study
bill for the prevention Of cruelty
to animals in Georgia has been
framed by a well known members of
the incoming legislature, and will be
introduced in the house soon after
the general assembly meets this
month.
w. B. Barton, G. Noble Jones and
Thomas Lynch of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in
Georgia, compose the committee hav-
ing the bill in hand for the society.
They will see that it is given atten,
ton in the early part of the coming
session. No great opposition is an
ticipated.
Mr.. Barton says that the new bill
covers the field thoroughly and leaves
no loophole through which possible
offenders may escape. 1t is modelled
after similar laws now in operation
in New York and Virginia, and gives
agents of the society full authority
to make arrests, which Georgia )
present law relating to this subject
does not do. The S. P. c. A. in Georgia
has been handicapped in its work
thus far because of this omission n
the present law.
There is plenty of work for the
society to do" said President Bar
ton, discussing the matter in Atlanta
recently, but the present law on the
subject is very meager. The reasons
why the societies of other states arc
so successful is that they have the
proper laws back of them. Under the
bill which we have framed our agents
will be authorized to make arrests
and wear the uniform and badge Of

Income TAX SECTION
| is UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Defect Must Be RGmGdiCd Be.
fore Senate Can Act

Washington, June 6.-Before the SEN
ate acts on the Underwood tariff bin
the income tax section will be amend
ed to remedy = defect which, it was
discovered today, would make the
measure unconstitutional. When the
trainers of the income tax provision
fixed January /, 1913, as the date from
which to compute incomes for taxation
they overlooked the fact that the con-
stitutional amendment authorizing an
income tax was not proclaimed as RAJ
flied until February 30, 1913
This fact was brought to the atten-
ton of the senate finance subcommic-
tee which has the income tax under
consideration, and an amendment prob
ably will be drafted at once.
Aside from the constitutional defect
arguments have been presented in ia
vor of making the taxable income ac
crue for the first year from July OF
later AS far as the constitutional
limitation is concerned, it would be
legal to compute incomes for 1913 from

Many Protests Filed.

Senator Williams subcommittee still
has under advisement the scores Of
protests filed by officials of mutual life
insurance companies against their in
clusion under provisions of income tax
law, and the committee is still consid-
ering an amendment which would give
such mutual concerns exemption, I
they are able to prove, after the tax
has been assessed, that they are not
conducted for profit and that all of
their surplus earnings are participated
in by their polieyholders.
Among the briefs on this subject fled
with the subcommi. ttee is one by s
Steiner, business man of Birming-
ham, Ala, which includes correspond
ence with Representative Underwood,
chairman of the house ways and means
committee. In letter to Mr.. Under
wood, Mr. Steiner cited the objections
to taxing incomes of mutual life in,
surance companies, maintaining that
this would result in a tax on the poll
cyholders, who would really be taxed
twice. Replying to this, Mr.. Under,
wood wrote:
you seem to overlook the fact en-.
tirely that these companies are being
taxed under the present corporation
tax law at exactly the same amount
as they will be taxed in our income
tax bill; that we are not levying on
them what they do not pay at present
An ordinary corporation is organized
for the benefit of its stockholders. a
mutual life insurance company is or
ganized for the benefit of it's policy-
holders. In one instance the individ-
ual holds the stock, in the other ii.
stance the policy, and in both instances
the corporation is operated to earn d.
vidends or net profits for his benefit.
In reply Mr.. Steiner epitomized the
arguments of the insurance presidents
and others who are working for an
amendment to the section as follows
Reply to Underwood.
When you state that the tax pro-
posed under the income tax bill is for
life insurance companies, substantially |
a continuation of the present corpora
ton tax, you are in general terms cor
rect, but not altogether so. The fed |
eral court holds, under the present cor,
poration tax, that so-called dividends |
accompanies operating on the mutual !
plan are not dividends and can be de-
Quoted by a company in making It's !
return. The language of the present !
bill clearly directs that these. so-called
dividends shall not be deducted, aud
therefore that they shall enter into
the net income of company for pu.-
poses of taxation.
Moreover, by implication, at leas4,
under this bill, every maturing endow-
ment and every cash surrender value
amounting in any individual case 20
$4,000 or over would be taxed; and if
such payments, plus the other income
OF the recipient amount to $4,000 it,
will also be taxed. This phase of the
tax would not fall on a company's net
income, but will be direct and heavy
burden on individuals to whom the

DISMAL PROSPECTS AHEAD.

1t appears that the originator Of
the bill to have Gary advanced from
the fourth 10 the third class is no
other than the picturesque Battleaxe
Castlenlan, the ex-alderman and at
the present time a candidate for
mayor. Mr.. Castleman has of late
taken up the cudgel in behalf OF
assessment payers. Now. Mayor
Knots would rather have the heavens
fall than to see Gary in the third
class.
One of the peculiarities of the In
diana laws is that councils of the
third class cities have the power to
abolish the board of public works
Thus. improvements would be up tc
the aldermen and a reckless board OF
works would be out of the question
With Gary among the cities of the
third class some of its poor un-
fortunate public improvement con-
tractors might be forced to earn ar
honest living.

SENATOR SMITH
FOR GOOD ROADS
INTRODUCES MEASURE IN SEN
ATE THAT GIVES GEORGIA
$4,000 YEARLY.

Senator HOke Smith has introduced
in the T. S. senate bill for an initial
appropriation toward federal aid to
the good reads movement. The bill
would appropriate s20,00J 900 10 be ex
pended by the secretary of agricul-
ture in cooperation with the states in
the construction and maintenance OF
post roads.
similar bill was introduced in the
house by Congressman Shackleford,
chairman Of the new committee on
roads of the lower body, and IT is APP
parent that Senator Smith and Con
gresham ShacklefoId are p accord
upon prospective Legislation at the
regular session which will begin the
work of upbuilding the roads.
The good roads fight in congress
will doubtless concentrate around the
Smith-Shackleford bill, which is the
opening wedge to a system of coop.
GRAFTON between federal and state gov
arnments for better highways
The work, the bill contemplates,
shall be along the lines of Illustration
and demonstration, to make tests and
show what can be accomplished in the
most economical way toward improv-
ing the average roads of the country.
The second paragraph of the Dill il
similar to the bill which passed the
house last congress but was defeated
in the senate.
Senator Smiths bill is planned with
view especially of aiding in the i'm
proyemcnt OF what is known as roads
of Class G, which is the best class
country road, as d!singuihed from the
high class macadam road, and or en-
couraging the improvements of roads
OF that character all over the United
states. The appropriation is limited
TO $2O.000,0O0 annually, and of this
amount, according to the plan of dis
tribution, about $750,000 would be as.
signed toward road improvement In
Georgia.
The plan OF distribution follows that
OF the former house bill ana is based
upon the use of the roads for rural
routes and upon the condition of the
road so used.
A number of the objections to the
s5hackleford bill, made In the senate,
are met in the modified bill now in
troduced.
