Georgia House Debates General Tax Act Amendment
The Georgia House debated a general tax act amendment to impose a $5 penalty on all unmarried persons over 20. Bowden and Davis led a push that would raise annual state revenue by $3.92 million, affecting 784,000 people, while a substitute to retain the old tax system sparked vigorous debate. The session also approved a $2,500 levy on Atlanta grand opera and considered creating special tax investigators, called a pernicious spy system by critics.
