BIRMINGHAM, Dec. 5.-R f. Kolb,
who claims to be the governor of Ala
bama, completed his message to the
legislature, which he signs as governor
and which will be transmitted to that
body today, The message Is also ad.
dressed to the people of Alabama and
is long and in many respects re-
v0lutionary document, as it recon-
mends that his followers do not pay
their taxes for a while.
He farther says: "I farther advise
those collectors who value the cause l
represent, and which will assuredly
prevail, to delay all payments of state
taxes into the treasury until an impair
tial healing has been had of our COM
plaint under fair and honest contest
at law"
When it is remembered that the tax
electors in 3S out of go counties in the
state are Kolbites, 1t will be seen that
If they take bis ADVICE the Kolb gov
ernment will find strong support and
tn 1t Alabama is threatened with an
archy. In his message Koib says:
"The revolutionary conditions Of our
state government must be the subject
of your continued and most anxious
contemplation. The plans of the
usurpers, SO alarming to you, are abat'
in Z IN nothing to reduce you to abject
and final submission to their unbrided
will and passions"
