FEE IS S,rRIck DIT

An amendment offered by Repre- sentative Ware and adopted struck from the bill the provision for the payment of a fee of 10 cents which you'd pay tax collectors and asses sors for the extra duties in handling the assessment and collection of taxes on automobiles The house held that these officers will receive thetr regular commissions on the taxes collected
 As originally presented to the leg slature. the bill provided for gross sale tax on automobile accessories. but th.@ was eliminated by the adop- tion of q committee amendment. With the passage of this bill only one general revenue measure remains on the house calendar. It provides license schedules which are m ad dition to the schedules provided by the law of 1919. The law of 1919 will remain on the statute books It is probable that the remaining revenue bill will receive consideration Fri day.
 Without a dissenting vote the house passed the bill of Representa- tive W. H. IIolcombe of Mobile sub hitting to the people at the next general election a constitutional amendment which would exempt ex- seItkIce men from the payment of poll taxes for all time. The vote was 79 to 0.
 Two years ago the people ratified an amendment which exempted eN- service men from poll taxes for few years. AIr Holcombe's amend ment would remove the limit of time.

TAX BURDEN PUT ON TRUCKS

STATE CAPITAL BUREAU ]

Heavy motor trucks will be forced to bear a heavier part of the main tenance of the public roads and all owners of automobiles will be re- quired to pay ad valorem taxes on their cars al the time they obtain licenses under the companion meas ure of the general revenue bill which was passed by the house of repre- sentatives Wednesday afternoon.
 Representative c. S Culver of EtoWah made q fight against the section which required the payment of ad valorem taxes in advance, but the house tabled his amendment and passed the bill as originally present. ed with the exception of sections which were amended by common consent.
 Under the terms of the bill licenses for the operation Of motor vehicles and small trucks will remain the same as during the past four years, but large increases will be made for the privilege of operating heavy trucks. For many years the charge has been made that heavy timber trucks did great damage to the high ways and were not required to bear their proper proportion of. the cost of maintenance. Under the TunstalI bill passed by the house, the licenses TOT the OpeFalloH or the lIuChS VIII be as follows;
 Less than one ton, S15; one and less than two tons, $22.50; two and less than three tons, $6O; three tons and less than four, s100; four tens and less than five $20O; five tons and less than six S4OO six tons and less than seven, $75O; seven tons and over, $1 900. The license for the operation of trailers will be one-half of the amount paid for the opera . tiOn of the automobile drawing the trailer.
