ton of the old system. It does not want

not a new fact or reason has been brought

dressed nominally to the house but really
to constituents and they will be printed and
carried to those constituents largely at gov
eminent expense. The vote in the house
ON Saturday will be important only in its

The deviations from a party vote will be
closely studied and this is about all there
is of interest in debate that is proceeding
in well-worn ruts.
In the senate, where debate is unlimited,
amendments will be offered and discussed,
and much valuable matter may be brought
out. The democratic side of the subject
will be amply and ably presented before
the bill reaches vote in the senate In
the house under the Reed rules nothing
of that nature is possible, and will not be
largely undertaken. The bill will doubtless
be finished in the house on schedule time,

THE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Let the Challenge be Accepted.

In relation to the sale of the American
Coal company's lands at $3.50, in contrast
to the sale of university lands at $3.50, the
court journal says:
Here is a well-selected and compact
body of coal lands, directly on the railroad,
side tracks laid, openings made, dumps
built and all the costly equipment of coal
mine in full operation a going business
is established, agencies at work marketing
the product. In short it is fully equipped
coal mine operating directly on the railroad
as against wild and unimproved and I'M
tested lands away from transportation.
This defense of the esteemed court journal
opens up line of investigation as to the
history and past earnings of the American
company. How long, for example, was 1t
in the hands of a receiver? Did 1t ever
earn a dividend? Had it's lands any value
beyond the coal in the seams?
The value of the court journals defense
cannot be determined until these questions
are settled; and the alumni committee
would waste no time If it should accept
the challenge of the court, and proceed to
ascertain the real value of the American
lands that brought $3.50 per acre at the
time, or at about the time, that university
lands were sold at $3.50 an acre. The deeds
bear, If not one date, dates very nearly
concurrent A day or two of difference may
appear in the recorded papers. They were
practically concurrent in time, but not in
acreage price.
The Age-Herald has never said that the
two lots of land had an equal acreage
value. 1t has particularly disclaimed all
knowledge as to relative value. The court
journal claims to know all about 1t, but
we must decline to accept it's judgment
as final and the alumni committee should
institute an inquiry as to comparative vail
ues, placing the American "going" lands
side by side on paper with the "ungoing'
lands of the university.
