"You can meet the increased inter? .-t in 1901," he said; "you can give the schools more money. If It is necessary; you can deal more liberally with the old Confede? rate veterans, and at the same time you can reduce the rate of taxation to 30 eents on the $100. But to do this, you will have to get at tho officers who as? ses? the property. So far as I am com cerned," continued Mr. Parks, "I am op? posed to reducing the salaries of the county judges below the amount now fixed by the State." Mr. Campbell called the pending qu<?8 tlon. which was on the engrossment and third reading of the bill. The body or ieted the bill to It? engrossment by a vote of ?10 to 30. No recorded vote was taken. THE LISTING OF BONDS. Another lively fight was occasioned by Mr. Parks'? bill providing for the list? ing of bonds, notes, stocks, etc, the pro? visions of which have been fully publish? ed In the Dispatch. The measure Is simply to enforce the law in regard to the taxation of such property. In order that the State may receive her Just reve? nues. A similar bill was introduced at tho last session, and passed the House, but was defeated in the Senate. Mr. Parks explained his bill In detail. Mr. Anderson, of Richmond, stated that he had not given any time to tho con? sideration of the measure, and asked that it be passed by. Mr. Cooke made a aplendtd speech In opposition to what he termed "dllltory t?ctica." The measure, j hu said, would bring more revenue to th?* State than any bill introduced in th Legislature since ho was a member ?j the body. He urged that uctlon SB n delayed, but that the measure be enacte Into a. law by the 1st of February, ? that the State could derive benefit fror It under tho new assessment. Mr. Mont i gat moved that the bill be made a specui onl.-r for Monday. Mr. Swltzer ?poke 1 favor of the measure. Mr. Saunders set tied the question under dispute by sug gestlng that the bill be engrosst-d, bu that a motion should not be made to re consider, thus leaving the bill open t< amendment when it comes up on Monday This satisfied Mr. Anderson, as he ha? pructlcally gained his point, and th< measure was ordered to be engrossed.
