PAGES BUDGET BILL
FOR STATE is TABLED

ATLANTA, Aug. IA bill by
Representative Stephen Pace of Sum,
ter county creating a state budget
commission to fix all appropriations
made by the state and providing that
two-thirds vote of either house of
the assembly be necessary to increase
any of its appropriations, was tabled
by its friends in the house Thursday
when spirited opposition was brought
to bear against it.
The measure proposed that the
commission should be composed of
the governor, as chairman. the state
superintendent of education, chair
man of the appropriations commit
tee of both houses and the chairman
of the ways and means committee Of
the house, who would prepare budg-
ct of annual appropriations and that
a constitutional majority vote of the
house only could increase any of it's
recommendations
John Bale of Floyd county led the
opposition, objeeting to a placing in
the hands of small body of men the
powers that are now vested in the
legislature. He pointed out that if
such law had been in force this year
that common school advocates would
not have been able to get through
their increase in the appropriation for
common schools. He proposed an
that funds could be in
creased by majority vote of the
house or senate.
Friends of the measure got through
a motion that it be tabled, which
probably will have the effect of kill
ing it for the remainder of this ses-
sion.
