GEORGIA AVOIDS INCOME TAX.
Senate by Vote of 37 to 2 Refuses to
Consider Amendment.
Special to Thu New York Time_$.

ATLAN'l'A, Ga.., Aug. 5.-Tbe Georgia
Senate to•day by a. vote of 37 to 2 refused to consider the income tax amend..
; ment to the Federal Constttutton, all thoush to-day nad been fixed upon for
its consideration. The action 01' t:Pe Sen..
ate means that there will be no action
on the amendment at this session, and in1 dicates that tllere ls strong opposition to
I its passage.
j
Senator Burwell and other Senators 1n
opposition action declared it was a grave
1
1thing for States to- confer such power on
the Federal Government. They feared
if the power to levy an income tax was
given that the result would be more
'wastefulness at Washington without any
decrease In tariff taxation. It was asserted that the South was already tieing
hardly dealt with in the matter of National taxation through the tariff, and
they were reluctant t:o give the Federal
Government power to wring additional
taxes from this section.
.
The opinion was also exvressed that 1t
would probably be better for Georgia to .
adopt an income tax law for hersielf and·
refoct the proposition for a. National income tax. Senator Perry in urging consideration of the amendment asserted that •
lobbyists were at work to defeat the ,
amenutnent, and urged that the Georgia ·
Legislature redeem the frequent declarations of the Democratic Party in favor
of an income tax.
Senator Perry refused to name the lobbyists or their employers. He insisted
that sinister Jnfluences were at work to
prevent the adoption of the amendment.
