Comptroller General
Against TaxChange

ATLANTA, June 5.-Comptroller
General Wright in his annual report
to the legislature, which was made
public Wednesday, opposes the pro-
posed plan of the state tax commission
of classifying property and of lmpos-
irg a different rate upon the different
groups, which principle, he says, is
economically unsound.
The defects in the present workings
Of the tax machinery of Georgia,
which he admits exist, are due he de-
clares to laxity in administration. A
great many of these he declares have
been remedied by the equalization
law of 1913. He recommends that this
law be strengthened along the lines
suggested by the late Judge John c.
Hart, state tax commissioner. These
amendments are generally speaking a
broadening of the powers of the state
tax commissioner.
Appropriations for 1919 are half
million ahead of the estimated revenue
OF The state, he says.

SUFFRAGE NOW
GOES TO STATES:
wins In SENATE

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The house
woman suffrage resolution was adopt
ed by the senate late yesterday and
the proposed constitutional amend
ment now goes to the states for rati-
/ fication.
The senate vote was Sc for adopt-
ION and % against, or 2 more than
tWo-thirds majority required Sena-
tor Harris, of Georgia, voted for the
resolution. Senator Hoke Smith was
absent.
preparatory to final vote on the
woman suffrage resolution, the SEN
ate rejected, 55 to %, an amendment
by Senator Underwood, democrat of
Alabama, providing that popular state
conventions, and not legislatures.
should act on the proposed constitu-
tlonal amendment.
Debate on the suffrage resolution
was opened upon the Resembling of
the senate by Senator Wadsworth. of
New York, who said if the people
wanted universal suffrage, the consti-
tutions of the various states were ade-
quate to grant it.
When we say to the folks back
home" continued Senator Wadsworth.
who shall vote for county Judge, we
are building step by step a paternal-
lstlc system like that which was the
curse of Germany
Senator Spencer, republican, Mis-
souri,, said Missouri's legislature had
approved equal suffrage and Senator
Reed, his democratic colleague, re-
torted that incompetence of men in
state legislatures was notorious.
Senator Smith, democrat, of South
Carolina, characterized the resolution
as a "Pandora's box of evil,'' and
said vote for it would be "a vote to
turn loose on the South another era
of trouble"
Senator Brandegee, republican, Con-
necticut, also opposed the resolution
as an invasion of state rights and
home rule, saying the constitution was
being "prostituted" by having local,
police regulations inserted.
Our Southern friends suddenly &c
crazy over prohibition" said Mr.
Brandegee, largely because they dc
not want the negro to have liquor, and
they vote to jam in a prohibition
amendment to the constitution. l con-
slider that an outrage on states which
do not want prohibition. l think its
tyranny, because that class of subjects
never was designed to be put in the
constitution, being local questions"
