DRY budget commission and

tee by q vote of 81 to 4.
Every material amendment was
voted down except one which pro-
vides there shall be no diversion

director of the budget, would de-
eide when diversions were neces-
sary. The tax committee had rec
commended that the diversion be
increased from $l,000,000 to ST.
100000 annually.
Several changes, offered by

sales tax levy to ! per cent, were
defeated.
The house also rejected amend
ments which would continue the
present 3 per cent sales tax on
meals sold in public eating places,
raise the franchise tax to z per
cent on power company receipts
of more than 100000; substitute
a flat 2 per cent sales tax without
exemptions for the 3 per cent
levy; exempt cotton clothing sell
ing at less than SIS from the sales
tax, and raise the tax on coin
vending machines.
The county option liquor plan,
already approved by the house,
was reported favorably by senate

vote Of 5 to 2, but pressure by
dry forces caused postponement
of action and the measure was
placed on the calendar for special
consideration on Tuesday.
