to 13 Senator Henderson's bill
amending the act requiring the 81
BILE to be read in the public schools
of Georgia by repeating that section
which excuses children from hearing

their parents.
Senator Henderson took the posi-
ton thta it would not hurt stu.

he be Protestant, Catholic or Jew.
Senator Munday supported Senator
Harrison's position, and said he
doubted Gergia was the right place
for people to live who do not believe
in the teachings of the Bible.
Leading the minority Senators
Pace and Mason charged that the
bill would deal q terrific blow at per-

FINES NEVER WILL
STOP RUM HAULING,
ARNOLD DECLARES

Prohibition laws of Georgia are
openly and flagrantly violated and
held in contempt, DR.. Craig Arnold,
representative from Lumpkin coun-
ty, declared Wednesday in address
Ing the house of representatives on
point Of personal privilege. DR..
Arnold asserted that he wished to
deny certain charges that he was q
wet" He said that he never had
tasted drop. of intoxicating liquor
in his life.
Il give notice that I have a bill
which will put quietus on the
transportation of whisky in automo-
biles and other conveyances, Mr..
Arnold said, "and If every member
who is against my measure to re-
peal the Georgia dry law will record
his vote in favor of this other bill
to send every man to the changing
for twelve months on being found
guilty of hauling whisky, you will
help me stop traffic that has held
life so lightly that the travelling
upon our highways Is more danger
Gus than crossing the jungles of
darkest Africa.
State Rights About Dead
IT am not now contending for our
state rights, for they are almost as
dead as Hector, but do contend
that so long as this federal prohibit
ton law is paramount to our state
laws, the responsibility for enforce
ment should not be in conflict" DR..
Arnold stated.
"Take any county criminal court
docket and fully so per cent of the
cases are liquor cases, generally all
hard fought cases. Fully one-half
of the time of our criminal courts
are taken up with the enforcement
of the prohibition laws, I say if the
enforcement of these laws is turned
over to the federal court, this ex-
pense would be saved the counties
and fully one-half of our criminal
court expenses removed. Then, too,
our court of appeals would be re-
lieved from passing on all liquor
cases and the same would go to the
federal court of appeals.
Wouldn't Stop Arrests
"This repeal would not relieve
the sheriff, policemen and other ar
resting officers from making arrests
for violating this law any more than
it relieves them from making arrests
for violating the law of counter
feiting or any other federal law 1t
simply places the trial of violators
in the federal and not the state
courts.
az submit that the traffic in liquor
has not abated and the proper teeth
have not been put into our prohibi'
ton laws, either federal or state,
and so long as state prohibition is
enforced those who traffic in whisky
will antagonize the surrender of the
Georgia law to that Of the superior
federal law"
At the conclusion OF DIR. Arnold S
address, Representative Jones, Of
Meriwether county, introduced a res
olution expressing the confidence OF
the house in DR.. Arnold and his mo-
tives. This resolution was adopted
unanim ously.i t-" t"A'

GOVERNOR ASKED
FOR ATTITUDE ON
SCHOOL PROV|SO

:. The senate on Wednesday unani-
mously adopted a resolution by Sen
ator Landlord asking Governor
Walker to Immediately communicate
to the senate his attitude. on a pro-
Iviso in the general appropriations
bill, now pending in both houses.
which approrpiates one half of all
revenue in excess of $S,500,000 TO the
common schools.
"Will you treat this proviso as
binding" the resolution asks the gov
ernor. 1.-The appropriations bill last
year carried an Identical proviso, but
Governor Hardwick did not treat it
as binding on the major ground that
there were no funds at hand to meet
the appropriation. The senate would
be glad to be advised of your atti-
tude before beginning consideration
of the appropriations measure"
Senator Landlord explained that
Governor HardWick's failure to treat
the proviso as binding last year
caused many school officials over the
state to register complaint with mem
bers of the legislature. They took
the position, Senator Landlord said,
that Governor Hardwick did not cor
rectly interpret the meaning of the
appropriations act.
THE common schools are asking
for this money for next year." said
Senator Lankford, land L believe
that both branches of the legislature
want them to have it. If Governor
Walker agrees with this view the
senate ought to be advised for if he
does not agree we should strike this
proviso from the appropriation bill"
After Senator Landlord spoke on
the resolution, his colleagues adopted
! it by unanimous vote. 1t was ex-
pected that Governor Walkers reply
would be forthcoming sometime
Thursday, and that he would advise
the senate that he would be inclined
to treat the proviso referred to as
binding upon him.
| After setting out in its preamble
the situation concerning the common
school appropriation and Governor
Hardwick's Interpretation of the act
the Landlord resolution says:
Resolved, BY the senate of Geor-
gia, that the present governor of
Georgia communicate to this body
the following information on the sub
| ject:
(a) whether or not he will con-
strue the act making appropriations
for the years 1922 and 1928, includ-
ing the language referred to in the
said proviso, as legal and binding.
| CD Whether or not, if he con-
siders the said proviso binding and
part of the appropriation made to
the common schools for those years,
or if he considers it an appropria-
| ton intended by the general assem-
| bly, to be paid to the said common
schools, he expects to treat it as an
unpaid debt to the said common
schools. and that provision should be
made for the payment of the then
said unpaid debt to the common
| schools.
(c) whether or not, if the general
appropriations bill for the years
1924 and 1925, now pending in the
assembly with the Identical proviso
recommended by the house appropri-
atoms committee is passed containing
the said identical proviso, it is his
purpose to treat the said proviso as
a part of the appropriations now
about to be made for the years 1924
| and 1925"

MASON BILL FOR
ASS|F|CAT|ON Of
PROPERTY KILLED

The Mason bill amending the con-
Stitution SO as to authorize the gen,
eraI assembly to classify property
for taxation was killed by the senate
Wednesday, after a lengthy debate.
Senator Mason, leading the fight
for the bill, expressed the belief that
its enactment by the legislature and
its ratification by the people would
bring into the treasury enough add.
tional funds to give the educational
institutions adequate appropriation.
He said that classification of proper,
ty not only would mean increased
revenue. but would relieve those peo-
pie in Georgia who now are bearing
the burden of taxation.
THE common schools now get 81
100000 per year." said Senator Ma
son, "but they ought to have at least
$6,000,000. Other branches of the
government are suffering, and 1t is
up to the legislature to reconstruct
the tax system
The success the state of Kentucky
has had with the classificat ton sys-
tenn was cited by Senator Mason in
support of his measure.
Opposition to the bill was lead by
Senators Pace, Lankfcrd and Mum
dy. They argued that the bill was
useless; that the house would net
pass it, and thaat the people would
overwhelmingly defeat it at the polls
The solution of the tax question, -
Senator Pace said, lis the complete
separation Of county taxes from
state taxes, and leaving the ad vaIo-
rem taxes to be arranged by the
various counties. Instead of classi-
fication we should have a limitation
on the rate of taxation. That would
bring in enough money for the
states needs. We should make the
burden equal on all property. Sena-
tor Mason has not told us how he
expects to classify property even If
his bill passes. He cannot tell us
and nobody else can tell us. But
when the assembly convenes in 1925
to begin classification people from
all over; the state would. be here and
we would have, the biggest legisla-
tive row in the history Of the state -
Senator Mundy declared the Mason
bill was in direct conflict with the
income tax bill passed by the senate
several days ago.\ He said its pas
sage would mean that the biggest
lobby ever assembled in the capitol
would be on hand in 1925 when the
classification process was started.
1--WE have classification now" de-
clared Senatro Landlord, in his
speech, and there is no need for
this bill If the senate passed it
and sent it to the house the only
result would be to gum up the sit
uation over there"
Senator Mason; after the senate
had killed his bill, declared that it
would not be long, in his opinion, I'M
til the members who voted against
it would regret their action.
The senate Wednesday passed
Senator Grantham's bill, requiring
prisoners in Georgia to serve seven
years instead of three years of their
terms before becoming eligible for
parole. The vote on the bill was
26 to 10.

Phillips bill preventing the entering
of Judgment against a garnishee
by default, was passed 81 to l.
