MOBILE COLLEGE
 MAY ENTER SUIT
IT IS PROBABLE THAT STATE MEDICAL SCHOOL WILL MAKE EFFORT TO OBTAIN SUM APPRo. PRIATED BY LEGISLATURE.

Montgomery, December s.-(special.)- It seems very probable that the Mobile Medical college will bring mandamus pro- ceedings against the state auditor to com- pei him to issue a warrent in favor of the college for $500O. It will be recalled that bill was passed appropriating $20OOO to the college to be paid in equal install ments covering four years. The governor let the bill die. but the college now claims that the bill reached the governor more than six days before the adjournment, the constitution limit for such treatment of bills.
 "The bill did reach the governor more than six days before the adjournment but not more than six Legislative days"
 The proceeding will call for an interpre- tation of the section of the constitution as to whether 1t means six legislative days.

WILSON SUBMITS
 MORTGAGE OPINION
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF ALA. BAMA SAYS CONDITIONAL SALE IS NOT REGARDED AS A MORT. GAGE SUBJECT TO TAXATION.

Montgomery, December 9.-(Special)- Attorney General Wilson has submitted a very important decision to State Auditor Sowell bearing upon the special mortgage tax levied by an act of the last legisla- ture. In this opinion the attorney gener- al holds that conditional sale is not re- garded as a mortgage and is not, there fore, subject to tax. MT. Wilson holds that such an instrument is clearly not a mortgage or deed of trust
 MT. Wilson also holds that the interest on the mortgage Is not liable for taxation unless it Is set down in the face of the mortgage.
 The state auditor has had frequent in- duiry from probate judges over the state as to these points. which have created much confusion. The amount of the tax is 15 cents on the hundred dollars, to be collected as a recording fee, two-thrds going to the state and one-third to the county treasuries.
