THE STAMP TAX.

From the Huntsville Mercury.
 The stamp tax proposition has aroused more opposition than any measure yet suggested at Montgomery. When it comes to stamp taxes there are Boston ians everywhere.
 Eufaula Times: Stamp taxes are not popular ways of raising revenues as they are troublesome in the transaction of bus mess and the paying of them falls gem orally on that class of people who are the least able to bear It. The bill was nicely conceived and 1t perhaps was thought that the stamp act would be overlooked emanating from the high source it did. It must be an emergency scheme for no government, state or nation would make such an act only In cases of dire necessity and if the state Is in such straits now or has forseen extravaganza to make the officials see that there is danger ahead then the legislators should be counseled to moderation in the making of appropriations
 Alexander City Outlook: The proposed stamp tax of 10 cents on every hundred dollars on notes and mortgages as em- bodied in the general revenue bill before the legislature may bring in heaps of rev. enue for the state, but 1t would be a nuisance and costly one to the borrower. Alabama should try to get along without

SENATOR ANDREWS SAYS THAT
 QUAY IS SUPREME

Goes to Washington to Assist in
 Statehood Fisht-Wouid Be Sat
 isfied with Union of Territories
 Senator w. H. Andrews, a member If the New Mexican council was in Fl Paso Thursday. en route to Wash ington, D. C., where he has been called by Senator Matthew Quay, the leader sn the omnibus statehood bill fight in +he United States senate. Senator Andrews was granted a leave of ao- sence from the council at Santa Fe to go 10 Washington, says the Fl Paso News.
 Shortly after his arrival here, Sen ator Andrews received telegram from Senator Skuay urging him to lose no time in getting to Washington. The telegram stated mat prospects were very bright for statehood, and that Senator Quay had blocked legislation in the senate so that the body would have to come to a vote on the omni- bus bill very soon.
 Senator Andrews was seen, relative 70 the statehood situation. He said. The test vote which was held ln Ihe senate yesterday showed that the omnibus bill adherents had a major ity in that body.
 "H. is to this situation Mir. Quay refers when he says that prospects are bright for the passage of the bill giving New Mexico and Arizona state hood. am informed that Senator Q can block legislation and force vote on the statehood question. If he does that, I feel assured that the omni. ous bill will pass. Senator Quay has stated in other telegraLns that he would pass the measure if he could get a vote upon it, and I am sure he can do so.
 'I am going to Washington to assist in the passage of the statehood bill and leave tonight for that point. hope to return with statehood of the two sister territories secured. If I dc not, 1 am sure that a compromise will be effected whereby the two terri tories will be made into one state This will be the next best thing, and will, I think be satisfactory to the people of both territories"
 Senator Andrews is one of the Re publican leaders of New Mexico, and IS an avowed candidate for the posi- ton of United States senator from Pennsylvania he was the right hand man of Senator Quay, and that Is said to be one reason why Senator Quay is taking such an ardent stand in New Mexico's behalf in the state hood fight.

picion rests on any one of wrong doing,
and no attempt has been made to cash any
