The five no votes were by Reps Abel Anderson, First Division Dem- ocrat; Frank c. Johnson, First Di- vision Republican, and three Third Division Democrats, Carlson, Jack Conright and Clarence T. Heating.
 Heating and Conright were the most outspoken opponents of the sales tax enabling act. The minute it reached the floor, Heating tried to Kill it by indefinite postpone ment. The move lost IT to 6. Keat- ing denounced it as "a vicious type of taxation"
 Mrs. Barnes summarized the argu- ments for the bill with the asser- tion. Its not a sales tax; it's only an enabling act to allow municipali- ties to adopt such tax in financial emergencies if they so choose. They should certainly have that right. I know the people of Southeast AL aska want it." She said she couldn't understand the clamor against the thought Of opening the way to municipal sales tax because we've already voted in the House for sales taxes on cigarets and liquor
 Sitka is now the only municipality with sales tax. Rep. William Egan told the House that the. legality oi Sitka's levy is actually open to legal challenge unless the enatIing act passes the legislature.
