INCOME TAX WINS
IN COMMITTEE VOTE

Supporters of a state income tax
in lieu of the existing system of ad
valorem taxation won a decided vic
tory Monday afternoon in the senate
committee on appropriations and
ways and means, which approved the
bill by vote of eleven to seven
after four hours of debate in execu-
tive session
Opponents of the bill were led by
Senators L. r. Akin, of Brunswick,
and johnnie j. Jones, of LAGRANGE.
bill, which is a constitutional amend
-ment, limit upon the rate of tax
which the Legislature would be en-
powered to impose upon incomes.
They also, insisted on postponing &C
ton on the whole matter until the
next session of the Legislature year
hence, claiming such postponement
would not delay the final ratification
of the amendment by the people,
since it could not be submitted until
1882. 81 s1e''''" u De'e'n0er'
Senators Boykin, Jackson and Nix
led the fight for approval of the
bill. They argued that property is
paying the principal ad valorem reve-
nue. of the state, and that real prop
erty is paying 81 per cent of this
revenue, while intangible property is
escaping with only three, per cent Of
come tax affords the only possible
means of obtaining revenue from per-
sons whose property consists of in
comes from investments, mercantile
enterprise, Industrial enterprises,
and other sources.
The minority members of the com
mittee, who voted against approval
of the bill, announced their intention
Of presenting to the senate mi
ECrity report.
Approval of the income tax bill by
the senate committee, now places it
ture with favorable reports, the
house committee having approved the |
bill two weeks ago.
One of the principal issues in the |
senate committee was whether the
proposed constitutional amendment
in place or the ad valorem tax sys
tenn should contain a limit upon the |
rate. In other words, whether the |
taxing power of the legislature |
should be limited by the constitu-
ton under an income tax system. rs
its taxing power is limited by the |
constitution under the ad valorem |
system.
On this question the, senate com |
fnittee sent a subcommittee to con-
fer with Governor Hardwick. He OPP
posed unequivocally the writing Of
subcommittee agreed with his views |
on the subject, and so reported back
to the whole committee, and this was
the view which finally prevailed.
The administration forces are
planning to push the income tax bill
to an early vote in the senate, and
bring it to a vote in the house as
appropriation bills have been dis
posed of.

FEDERAL AGENCIES
To FIGHT PELLACRA

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Federal
agencies, acting at President Har-
ding's direction, were working at
emergency speed today to relieve
conditions in a large section of the
southern cotton belt which are re-
ported by the public health service
to threaten a near state of famine.
coupled with widespread epidemic
of pellagra. Alarmed by the report
of conditions, which are attributed
to the economic plight Of cotton
growers resulting from depression in
the cotton market, President Harding
yesterday called upon the public
health service and the American Red
Cross to make an immediate inves-
tigation to ascertain the actual con-
ditions and to lose no time in apply
ing an effective remedy.
Declaring the shortage of money
resulting from the inability of the
people of a large section of the
south to sell their. cotton was threat
ening famine and plague" the pres
ident wrote Surgeon General Cum
ming, of the public health service,
that immediate and effective meas
ures of amelioration are manifestly
demanded if conditions even approx

cooperation of all federal agencies,
the president also declared that if
found necessary congress would be
asked to pass special legislation to
meet the situation.
