TABLE TAX BILL
10 SAVE MEASURE
F from DEFEAT

ATLANTA, Ga August 14.-After
having perfected the bill to- revise the
General tax act late yesterday after
noon, advocates of the bill had the
measure tabled in order to save it
from defeat with which it was threat
cred by senators opposing it on the
ground that it sought to place the bur.
den of increasing the revenue of the
state upon the small business concern
and at the same time ignored real
capital. The opposing senators were
particularly antagonistic toward the
bill because a provision to reach ne
gotiable papers for taxation was cut
from the bill.
The difference between the bill and
the act of 1909, which it seeks to re-
wise, consists largely in the inclusion
in the bill of large number of items
contained in the tax ordinances Of
the city of Atlanta, most of these items
being on small business concerns not
included in the tax act of 1899, and
many of which businesses were not in
existence at the time of the passage of
the 1909 act.
The amendment in the house, which
was designed to create the machinery
whereby the state could readily reach
negotiable paper, was killed in the
house
The senate at the afternoon session
yesterday killed part of the bill
which would have required banking
concerns to submit their property for
taxation at the same valuation as
shown in the published statements of
condition made in response to the call
o' the bank examiner. 1t was this
so-called exemption of big business and
the taxing of small concerns which
appeared to have created the opposi-
ton TO the bill in the senate.
The status of the bill now is that it
lies upon the table subject to being
called up Immediately upon the wish
Of the senate. The appropriations bill,
which the senate took up this morning
viii not have precedence over the tax
bill, if the senate sees fit to call it
from the table. Leaders in the fight
of yesterday afternoon to kill the bill,
however, stated that any effort to take
the bill from the table will meet with
opposition.
The temper of the senate is that the
burden is not upon them, even if the
bill is cut, but that it is and will be
upon the house The statement has
been made that seventeen members OF
the senate are standing for the $4,000
600 common school appropriation,
while others have declared, since the
house has put on that figure and pass
ed the buck to the senate they are
disposed to change it to $5,000,000 and
pass the bill back to see the house
wrestle with it as they see fit.
Nothing Of this sort is going to
mean that both houses will have to
stick en- the job some time after We'd
nesday and get down to hard-pan bust
ness. The report is abroad, on good
authority, that Governor Dorsey has
made up his mind about the extra ses-
sion, if anything like either of the
above possibilities occurs and that he
is prepared to issue that call the min
ute the present appropriations bill is
passed That this notice will be shot
right into both branches before a sine
die adjournment, and that the notice
will order the assembly to come back
on the job Thursday morning is said
now to be positive fact
