State Constitution Amendment on Intangible Tax Debate
Nashville senator Thomas Cummings opposed a proposed state constitution amendment to tax intangible property, arguing for a measured approach. The measure, sponsored by Senator S R Bratton, would require a five thirds vote in the General Assembly and a statewide referendum. Critics say it shifts burdens to holders of securities and bank accounts, while proponents cite fiscal balance and development.

Judge Lindsey vows fight after supreme court ouster
Denver, Jan 25. Judge Ben B. Lindsey declared he is the victim of an infamously conspiratorial plot as he fights to retain the juvenile court bench he has held for 25 years. He will file for rehearing within 15 days and says he will fight to the bitter end if denied. The ouster suit, filed by Mrs. Royal C. Graham, cited irregularities in a precinct vote where Lindsey led 648 to 15 before a recount narrowed the margin. Lindsey claims evidence existed of Ku Klux Klan spending to influence the election and that a district judge dismissed a prior claim due to a witness deemed too flimsy.
