Exemption Bill Passes Senate for Church Endowment Tax Break
The Georgia Senate approved Senator John Walker's bill by 38 to 3 to allow a popular vote on exempting denominational college endowments from state taxes, excluding real estate. Opponents argued it violated the 1877 constitution, while Walker urged statewide support and noted pre 1877 exemptions for church schools.

Lawrence Ship Bill Opposed In Senate
Lawrences bill providing for a vote on an exemption from taxation for ships owned by Georgians engaged in foreign trade faced stronger Senate opposition than expected. A committee report favored passage but the final vote was 17 to 14 to adopt the report. Senator Lawrence defended the measure as equalizing shippers without reducing state revenue, while Senator Ogden Persons opposed it as benefiting private gain. Senator Akin urged passage but could not secure a two thirds vote. Lawrence moved to table the bill and the motion carried. A suffrage delegation later had Senators Dobbs and Buchanan introduce their own bill. The adjournment occurred Friday with no committee meetings that afternoon.
