JONES' CRlTICICM OF
GOVERNOR DISCUSSED.

ATLANTA, August S.-Wlth the
house and senate divided into almost
numberless factions and filled with
petty strifes, Sunday was spent by
many of the leaders in attempting to
reconcile hostile forces to a point
where an extra session would not
be caused by constant filibustering
today.
Senator John H. Jones' attack on
the governor, changing that "'adroit
maneuvers and hydraulic pressure
have forced added taxation upon the
people; decreased appropriations
and refused full appropriations for
confederate veterans, was the CENTER
of much discussion last night and
this morning.
The senator characterized the gov
ernor's program as "a slick political
scheme to starve the states insti-
tutions for a year or SO; heap a size
able balance in the treasury, and
then place the blame for the high
taxes on the assembly" AS the only
means of averting predicted storm
Of protest, he asserted, the entire
program would have to be changed
during the remaining three days of
the session.

Times Recorder Bureau,
Kimball House.
Atlanta, August s. Both
branches of the general assembly
started on the last lap this morning,
with the house oyerthrowing the cal
endar of the rules committee in plac-
ing numerous appropriationSmeasures
for consideration and passing de-
ficiency fund of $150,0OO for the
state sanitarium at Milledgeville and
$4,000 for maintenance of the
School for the Feeble Minded, while
the senate completed the general tax
bill with the exception o. the amuse-
ment section.
The attack on the rules commit
tee started at the very beginning oSs
the house session. The $500, ,000S
appropriation bill for new class con-
federate pensions was placed ion the !
calendar by unanimous vote. @WheyRS
the 100000 fund for the state 49,
tarium was taken up, Ennis of Baid-
win, who mad been leading the fight
for the institution, moved to amend
this by deducting $4,000. The
amendment was adopted, and meas
ure passed by large majority. He
then withdrew another bill carrying
$108, 900 for completion Of the dor
mitory at the sanitariun.
In addition to a $4,000 approprl-
alton for the School for the Feeble
Minded at Augusta, $4,000 de-
ficiency fund was votetl.
The senate had peaceful session
until the grand opera and anusemcnt
tax sections were reached Then the
storm broke. The amendment plac-
ing tax of 81 900 on grand opera
in cities of more than 100000 pop
ulation and $400 on towns of less
population, with a $40 tax on chau-
tauquas, was finally defeated 81 to
I13.
Strong protest from Georgia cities
to the general amusement tax began
flooding the assembly this morning.
The amendment tax of per cent

DISASTER Seen

BURDEN MOVIES
Labor Leader Sees Blow
To Weak Operators
Union

Protests were heard on every hand
here today over the recommendation
of the committee of the Georgia SEN
ate to add another per cent tax to
the gross receipts of notion picture
theatcrs. The protest was loud and
long on the part of the movie goers
because of realization of the fact that
the theater owners will Immediately
pass it along to the public, and the
owners protested because of the be,
lief that it will further cripple their
business, already tottering under the
load of numerous federal taxes and
hard times, and will result in actual
ly putting many theaters out of busi-
ness.
"Such tax would be disastrous
to the industry in Georgia" said
Emory Rylander, manager of the Ry-
lander theater. eve are already bur
dened to death wish taxes. We pay
5000 to the government as ''floor"
tax, and there are numerous other
taxes that are constantly being col
lected The buyer of tickets already
pays 10 per cent, this being included
in the admission price charged. The
imposition Of this extra tax would
be the last straw with many houses,
particularly in cities of this size and
smaller, and would force dozens of
them out of business" )"

retary of the local typographical

of the proposed tax A copy of his
telegram follows:
"Hon. Ed A. Hines, House of Rep
resentatiyes, ~- IL
"Hon. John M. Collum, Senate
Chamber, the Capitol, Atlanta, Ga.
"The passage of proposed per
cent tax on gross receipts of NOV
ing picture houses in Georgia would
work an unjustified hardship on
working people, who attend these
theaters, and appeal to you as your
friend, your fellow citizen and one
well acquainted with the problems of
the working classes to oppose the inn
position of this iniquitous tax. If i'm
posed, undoubtedly this burden would
be added to the already heavy load
of the workers in the form of in
crease admission, and, in addition,
might be used as lever with whicn
to reduce the wages of poorly or
ganized moving picturc operators,
whose pay is already too low. 9th
