max last night, Congressman
Porter H. Dale, drafted from
the I'd Vermont district to aa-
dress the eX-service men as
sembled last night in the Rut-

ly on record in favor of "ad-

soldiers bonus, as it is general
ly known.
Not only did Congressman
Dale 60 on record for the bonus
plan, but he brought down the
great audience in tumult of
cheers, APPLAUSE, shouts and
blowing of horns when he scor-

Everybody knew the present sys-
tenn was wrong. He charged that
the state had been disgraced by the
back tax lobby and said the new
system proposed would not only
equaliZe taxes from this source, but
greatly increase receipts.
He said it was up to the Democrats
to drive the revenue agents out of
the capitol He ridiculed the con-
tention that local control of the stu
alton would not be effective. He
appealed finally for the passage Of
the amendment in the name Of JUS
tice, fair play and the public good.
Senator Craig declared that the
back tax lobby was the boldest and
most active he had ever seen--that it
had overflowed the corridors and into
the senate chamber. II had ramified
into every phase of state legislation.
Senator'S Monroe and Patton intro
duced an amendment that the APP
pointments provided for in the bill
to be made by the comptroller and
that not more than three agents be
named. The amendment was tabled.
Senator Monroe scored the Demo-
Gratis for their attitude. He said
East Tennesseans were Republicans
and didn't dodge their taxes and back
tax agents were not needed by his
people. The Democrats, by making
the collection a local affair, were
breaking down the whole back tax
collection system.
The motion Of Senator Gambler, Of
McMinn, to table the amendment,
carried II to is.
The vote was then taken on the
passage Of the bill, which failed, IA
to 10.
The house, at its afternoon SEES
sion Friday, passed the bill imposing
poll tax upon women Mr.. Loew,
Republican, of Knox,, did not favor
making the poor women of the state
pay poll tax, but the house thought
otherwise, and the measure carried
by vote of 50t, 81.
The bill making payment for poll
tax a prerequisite to voting was re-
rejected by vote of As to 81. At it's
night session, the house concurred in
the senate joint resolution fixing the
salary Of the state tax commissioner
at $4,000 per annum.

committee Of five has been named
by the speaker to Gull bills with the
idea in view Of selecting those meas
ures Of a general nature which may
be passed with very little debate
and have them set for special order
this week in an effort to make head
way and permit those bills Of minor
importance to die, for it is practic-
ally impossible to act on all measures
now pending.
More than 1000 bills have been
introduced in the house, while the
record on first reading bills is some
ESQ or 300 short Of this. Night ses-
sions were the rule last week and the
week beforehand doubtless viii be
held every night this week so that
the members may get through as
many local bills as possible under
the circumstances.
One Of the biggest jobs before the
house this week is the consideration
of the general appropriation bill It
is estimated If this measure is con-
sidered section by section, as it
probably viii be, ii will take at least
two days to dispose Of it. Indiea-
tons are that it will be amended as
passed by the senate. This will
mean that 1t will have to 60 back
for concurrence or non-concurrence,
and very likely conference commit
tee will be appointed in each house

With only two Democrats voting
in the negative, the senate last Fri
day afternoon, by a vote Of 10 to 10,
adopted an act which extends the
Dortch law to every precinct in the
state. The bill was called up by
Senator L. E. Womack and met with
stiff opposition from the Republi-
can side.
Senator's Durham and Overton
were the only Democrats to oppose
the bill, while the eight Republicans
cast their votes s0lidly against it.
Senator H. B. McGinnis declined to
vote.
The senate declined to concur in the
amendment of the house which
placed the salary of A. V. Louthan,
who is named in the act creating the
tax commission as chairman, at
$4,000, but restored the original
figure at $4,000. With this amend
ment the bill was adopted without
debate and returned to the house for
concurrence.
Three highway bills were passed
by the house at the afternoon ses-
sion. One of them provided % per
cent. Of the money derived from
automobile licenses should be turned
in to the state highway department
and rs per cent. be retained in the
county where collected Another
levied a tax of one cent per gallon
on gasoline and the third levied a
special road tax one mill upon all
taxable property in the state.
The first of the highway bills
called up for consideration was
House Bill No S13, regulating the
distribution of funds collected from
automobile licenses. The act provid-
ed that 80 per cent. of the tax from
the sale of licenses should 20 into
the highway fund, 10 per cent. to be
retained in the county from which
collected.
The back tax bill, introduced BY Mr..
Speaker Bond, and which came uD
for final hearing as amended by Mr..
Chandler, was defeated in the senate
Thursday by a vote Of IA to is. The
bill proposed TO abolish the office of
state revenue agent and put the mat
ter Of collection in the hands of
county officials with certain require
ments regarding compensations for
the county agents and attorney.
The senate reconvened Friday
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the call
of Temporary Speaker 0verton, and
Senator Chandler continued his dis
cussion Of the results Of the back tax
inquiry. The senator from Shelby
then presented his amendment fore
cast and set out at the morning SEES
