INVISIBLE" TAX !,
BILLISFAVORED
BY COMMITTEE

The bill of Representative Cole.
claimed will bring~out for taxation
all the so-called invisible property
in the state, was favorably voted
upon by the ways and means COM
mittee of the house Wednesday aft
ernoon. The committee also ap-
proved an increase in the license fees
charged automobile dealers. -
The main requiem ents of the Cole
bill are that all notes, mortgages or
other evidences of Indebtedness shall
be presented to the tax receiver each
year and stamped by him. Under
the terms of the bill such papers
will have no standing in court until
this procedure has been taken. The
upon a paper is made felony.
The vote on Mr. Coles bill was
to 8, Chairman Zach Arnold cast
ing the deciding vote, not that he
ed, but that he wished to cali the
hands" of those who were opposing
the tax reform measures of the tax
commission. Mr.. Arnold said thar
while the bill would undoubtedly
bring forth the so-called invisible
property 1t also would drive from
the state all. investment capital and
result in the bankruptcy of many
banks.
Representative Hendrix, of Full
ION, spoke against the bill, which
he declared was confscatory. The
bill, Mr., Hendrix declared, would
mean almost bankruptcy for Geor-
gia and would lay so much work on
the tax receiver of Fulton county
that building could hardly be
found large enough in the city to
hold his office.
The committee voted to report.
fayorably to the house a bill in,
creasing the license tax on automo-
bile dealers The bill, as it will
be submitted to the house, contains

For counties between 100000 and
10000, $3.50.
For counties for more than $4,000,
$500
The bill provides that this tax

it is not necessary to shampoo your
hair so frequently if it is entirely and
properly cleansed each time by the
use of a really good shampoo. The
easist to use and quickest drying
shampoo that we can recommend to
our readers is one that brings oSt all
the natural beauty of the hair and
may be enjoyed at very little expense,
by dissolving a teaspoonful of can
throx which can be obtained from any
druggist, in a cup of hot water This
makes a full cup of shampoo liquid,
enough so it is seasy TO apply itFte- all
the hair instead of just to the top of
the head. This, when rubbed into the
scalp and onto every strand of hair,
chemically dissolves all impurities. 1t
is very soothing and cooling in its ac-
ton. as well as beneficial to both scalp
and hair. After rinsing out the lather
so created, you will find the scalp is
fresh, clean and free from. dandruff,

leaders in the house want President
Wilson to call an extra session of con-

of the present session. March 4.
They will urge the president to take
this action and lay before him their
reasons for it at the first opportunity,
which will be when they visit the
White House today or tomorrow.
While the house leaders do not be-
lieve that all the supply bills can be
passed by both houses before noon on
March 4, they will urge an early call
of a new session on other grounds.
The present situation with reference
to the shipping program and necessity
for outlining Il permanent merchant
marine policy will be one of the first
arguments.

possibility of passing adequate army
legislation in the week remaining of
this session will be one more reason
advanced for an early call of both
houses. 1t will be pointed out to the
president that this country will be left
with only handful of men after the
proclamation of peace unless new laws
are passed.
The appropriations committee of the
house has found it impossible to ap-
propriate for several special "emer-
gency" branches of the government
because they are not permanently au-

branches. house leaders believed,

I'm LEGAL THREAT
Opposition to County Home Site
May Go to Court.
Suit To Be Filed in Rotary
Clubs Name, 1t Is Said.

Persons opposed to the county COM
missioners' plan of building the new
county home and hospital on the pres
ent county farm north of the city
threaten to institute legal proceedings
to prevent such action if the commits
sioners award contracts for the new
building to be erected on the present
site. The suit would probably be filed
in the name cf the Rotary club, it was
said this morning.
Fifteen persons representing the
Rotary club. the Topeka Industrial
council, the woman's committee of the
council of defense and the Woman s
club called on the commissioners at
the court house Monday afternoon in
an effort to prevail upon them to
change their plans and build the home
in the city. They accused the COM
missioners of having broken their
promise: that the various civic or
ganiZations had put the bond issue
across with the understanding that
the home would be built in the city.
Apparently, little impression was
made on the members of the board.
Robert Stone, principal spokesman for
the delegates, expressed conviction
that the commissioners had ho author
ity to erect the new institution on
the present farm and quoted several
statutes in an effort to prove his con-
tertion. Charles L. Mitchell also ad-
dressed the commissioners, as did
