 Montgomery, October 17.-tspe- cial. .)--Undoing its work of the 1919 session of the legislature, the house of representatives Monday afternon passed the bill of Representative A, P. Smith of Greene repeating the dog tax law, which has been a per ennial issue in political campaigns since 1t was placed on the statue books. The bill received 50 votes to 14 against 1t, which furnished the two- thirds majority required by the constitution for all bills not included in the executive call for the special session.
 The dog tax law had few friends among the members of the lower house. Two members, Representa- tives J. w. Green of Dallas and R. l.. Scale of Sumter, did raise their voice in opposition but their appeal fell upon deaf ears because the legis- lators were determined that this bit of legislation should be scratched from the states law books. It wiiI go to tho senate for consideration at once.
 Representative Smith called up the measure by unanimous consent of the house and appealed for favor able vote, declaring this las is the most unpopular ever placed upon the statute books and that it's enforce merft has been unequal and unjust and that persons have evaded 1t since 1t was passed. In his appeal he was supported by Representatives J. D. Clayton of Barbour, R. E. Blunt of Washington and J NJ Parker of Coosa.

 New Test Today.
 The test of strength CT the oloch- ade will come up again Tnesaay when the house begins the consldeSa- tion of the bill of MT. Arnold sup hitting the s25,000,000 bond issue to vote Of the people. Administration forces believe the majority necessary for the submission, 64. will De lh the city Tuesday and will vote for the measure. However, there IS some doubt about 1t, as only GA members answered to their names when the roll was called for the sesson Mon day afternoon. Many of those here are aligned with tue blockaders.

 After a vote has been taken on the bill the measure submitting consti- tutional amendment, which will give cities and towns the right to levy a special tax for construction and op- eration of waterworks plants will come before the lower house. It has been on the calendar for several days. but was not called up because of the absence of many members, who were opposed to the blockade.
