The original bill, before the amend

yided that appellate Jurisdiction in tax
levies and bond Issues should rest with
the state board Of tax commissioners.
When the bin went to the senate,
working under the pressure laid on by
Lieut. Gov Edgar D. Bush, who has
been q strong advocate Of home rule in
taxation matters, the members of the
upper body amended the bill 10 provide
taat appellate jurisdiction should be
vested in the hands of the Judge of the
circuit court, who should sit as m ar
bitter.
The bin, with other amendments added
by the senate, was then returned to the
house for concurrence, but that body
refused to accept the "home rule

Adherents OF the home rule power are
jubilant over the concession they have
gained from the house to leave the ap

councils. for by this method the same as
the original amendment OF the senate,
the state board of tax commissioners is
