ATLANTA, July 28.--Stormy de
bates on taxation questions featured
the sessions of both houses of the
assembly this morning, wit ,hthe SEN
ate engaged in controversy over the
abilshment of tho tax equalization
act and the house fighting ocer the
adoption of the gasoline tax bill,
which was brought up for passage
by Representative j. w. Culpepper.
Resolutions calling upon Hoke
Smith and Joe Brown, former COVER
nors of the state, to supply their por-
traits to be hung in the executive re-
ception room at the jcapitol, were
passed by the house.
The appropriation bill, providing
for the payment of deficits and in
creases in salaries of Superior court,
Supreme court and Court of Appeals
Judges, was passed after long de-
bate between house members.
Senator John H. Jones, of La
Grange, led the fight to prevent abol-
ition of, the equalization act in the
senate. Senator Dennis Fleming, of
Albany. also opposed the bill. Sena-
tor Ellis. of Moultrie, favored aboh-
ton, provided it take effect in 1928.

HAM AND
BAD PROPHECY.

According to the predictions during
the war one of the greatest after
the war problems would be to find
enough ships to carry the world's S
goods.
How impossible it is to estimate
the future in these disturbed times
is illustrated in the realities of the
shipping situation as compared with
the predictions.
The Chamber of Shipping of Great
Britain has compiled figures show
ing that the idle shipping exceeds
five million tons and that most of
the ocean-going ships in service are
being operated at loss.
Two things have contributed to
this 'tuation-the unexpected fall
ing off in world trade and the un-
precedented increase in world ton
mage
nspite of the great loss of ships
during the war, there was an actual
increase in tonnage during the six
years from 1914 to 1920 of over
eight million tons.

Tins Recorder Bureau,
Kimball House.
ATLANTA, July GA formal
resolution calling for the appoint
ment of a committee to make full
investigation of conditions at the
state prison farm will be introduced
in the house Friday or Saturday,
following a reading of the official
report outlinging the true situation
at the institution from the house
penitent;ary committee, which will
hold an executive session tonight.
This move was freely predicted by
members this afternoon, since the in
vestigation to date has disclosed so
many Irregularities and charges or
corruption at the farm. A very un-
favorable report is expected to be
submitted early tomorrow morning.
The last open session of the COM
mittee held last night, and at this
time Judge 7. E. Patterson, of the
prison commission, was cross s-examln-S
ed by Chairman Jones Perryman. His
examination revealed that either the
law does not make rigid requirements
nthe comission, or they have fall
cd properly to discharge their du-
| ties.
When the executive session is
held. Chairman Perryman and other
members of the committee determln-
ed to cleanup" conditions at the
farm will meet some opposition, bus
| indications are that the political
strength of the commission has been
broken.
Mr.. Perryman will speak on the
disclosures of the committee when
he presents the report to the house

state farm last week, discussion OF

and finally became so pronounced IN
its policy toward the board that
the house body was forced to sever
relations, the members of the lower
branch demanded that full investi-
cation be made of the charges.
Senator Campbell's position on the
matter, and his activities in behalf
of the commission have also been the
subject of much comment AT the
request of the prison board, when
Herbert Clay, president of the SEN
| ate. was selecting his committees,
the senator from Covington was
made chairmea of the penitentiafy
body. Since he adopted such
! course in the proceedings, it is known
that the president has urged him TO
'sgo to the bottom of the affair
One of the reasons of the, house
members determination to complete
the investigation may be found IN
| the attitude Senator Campbell adopt
ed Tuesday evening in refusing TO
recognize its representatives desiring
to make motions. The lobbying ac-
tivities of the commissioners, and the
fight they made to halt proceedings,
has also reacted among the house
comittee.
