TAX ON BIG COMPANIES
IMPORTANT RULING OF THE AT
 ToRNEY GENERAL.
Corporations Increasing Their Cap ital Stock Over $1,O0O,o0o Must Pay $25 on Each $5O,-
 900 of Increase.

By an important ruling of Attorney General Massey Wilson made yesterday, the meaning of the statute requiring the payment of corporation taxes is made clear.
 The ruling contained in the Attorney Generals opinion, however, affects only corporations which are capitalized at more than a million dollars
 The case came up from Birmingham where a corporation which had increased its capital stock over one million dollars claimed that it had only to pay a maximum franchise tax of $500 The At torney General was requested to give an opinion as to whether the corporation was required to pay a franchise tax of S25 on every 900 increase of capital stock up to $1 .O00,O 900 and then also to pay $500 ad- ditional for the increase above one mill lion, or whether the corporation should only pay a maximum corpora tion tax of $500.
 The Attorney General held that the corporation under the statute is required to pay $25 on every $50C00 of increase ir capital stock up to $1000,000 above which the corporation would be required to pay an additional $500 for the capital stock above a million dollars. The matter was carried before the At torney General by Assistant Examiner of Public Accounts, T. J. Rutledge, who is engaged in examining the books o the officials of Jefferson County. | bears upon the corporation tax due by the Birmingham Railway, Light anC 1 Power Company.

BASS GETS THE PLACE
SUCCEEDS BOOKER AS TAX COL
 HECTOR OF LEE.
New Official is Prominent Citizen of opelika - Bondsmen of De- ceased Collector to Confer
 With State Officials.

W. M. Bass of Opelika, was yesterday appointed tax collector of Lee county by Governor Jelks to succeed the late B. K. Booker. There was only one other as- pirant for the place, J. M. Thomas, of Auburn.
 MT. Bass Is one of Lee County's best known and most prominent citizens. t1e was the regular Democratic nominee TOT the office of county tax collector at the last election. He was, however. defeat ed by MT. Booker. who waged success full campaign as an independent. Part of the regular Democratic ticket or Lee county went down before the indepeno- ents and MT. Bass was among the uh- successful candidates. He was most highly indorsed to the Governor for the vacancy caused by MT. Cookers death'
 The appointment was made at the ear Hest possible time because the tax anairs of Lee county are said to be oaoly tah- gled. Mir. Booker, it is alleged. owed the State and county S10.000 at the tune or ms death. It is said that some of the taxes of Lee county have not been collected MI. Cookers alleged shortage occurred With in the past year, and since the exanliIia- ton of his books by a public examiner. The tax office of Lee is demanding Just now some thorough and systematic WoFh.
 The Governor only held the appointment up for two QdyS lo diAoW thO IVY ~ dates to file their inducements.
 Bondsmen Will Settle.
 The bondsmen of the late Tax Coliec- tor R. R. Booker, it is thought, will make an early settlement of his shortage to the State. A conference will be held in the next few days between Attorney General Massey Wilson and the bondsmen, Tor the purpose of arranging a settlement
 Pending this conference no action in Ia" will be taken.
 Attorney General Wilson returned yes- terday from a visit to his home III Clarke County. He found waiting him teie- gram from Warren Williams of Phenix City. one of the deceased Tax Collector bondsmen In this telegram MT. Williams asked the Attorney General to name u date for a conference to arrange set- clement of the Booker shortage. This IS taken to mean that the bondsmen VIII make a full settlement of the amount owed the State by the late Tax Collector of Lee.
 MT, Wilson wrote Mir. Williams yes- terday in response to his telegram and 1t is proba ble that the bondsmen will come to Montgomery Saturday or Monday.
 The men who are on the bond of Tax Collector Booker are W. H. smith, James OGrady, Warren Williams. pr A. Floyd. w. T. Hogan of Phenix City. Joseph Holt of Auburn and Parker Hut ton of Opelika.
 On learning that MT Cookers accounts were involved and that he was lndeoteo to both the State and the county, the bondsmen went to Opelika and took charge of what money there was in the banks to the Tax Collectors credit. This amounted to about $.OOO.
 MT. Booker is due the State S14o on this years collection of the taxes of Lee, He is also due the county of Lee about S, 900.

 For the third stroke. bring hand and feet back to first position, care being taken not to draw the heels oyer pack, but the knees well up under the body. The kick, which gives so much force 10 the stroke. is not made the same as in foot ball. by kicking downward. but by shooting the legs out far apart and draw ing them sharply together. to force your self through the water.
 The back stroke. or swimming on the back, has practically the same movements as the breast stroke, only the body is on the back Swimmers often resort to this as a rest from other strokes.
 The side stroke is made by swimming on the side. Draw the knees up. the same as in the brest stroke. kicking the feet out strongly far apart and then drawing them together, scissor fashion. The right hand is thrown straight ahead palm downward, and from that position Is drawn in semi-circle directly downWard until the hand touches the side or the body. As the right hand Is performing this circle. the left hand is stretched over head above the water then. with palm down, it describes a complete semi-circle in front of the body To get speed, and also to cover distance with this stroke, turn we'll over on the side and allow the impetus of the stroke to carry you as far as possible before beginning the sec ond stroke, as this. if taken too soon will impede the progress made by the first stroke.
 In diving, stand with the feet together. hands over head and together. and the head between the arms; then incline the body forward. Just before you lose your balance, spring lightly into the air; per fprY1inO a Seml-CircIe as DOSS1Dle before the body strikes the water. The feet should follow the hands If done well, the hands will make an opening for the head and the body will follow, cut ting through the water like a wedge and making almost no splash.

SEVENTEEN LYNCHED
 IN ILLINOIS SINCE 'e3.
Nearly All for Assaults on Women, No Attempt Was Ever Made to
 Punish Lynchers.

New York World.
 Mayfield was the seventeenth man lynched in Illinois since 1893. He was the third to be lynched in Danvile. In 1895 John Halls and William Royce, white men, were lynched In Danville for as- saulting Miss Laura Burnett. No attempt was ever made to punish any one for iynching Halls or Royce, nor any one connected with the other lynchings in the State. In every lynching the leaders of the mob were well known. In most cases they were the leading citizens of the places where the lynchings occurred. Members of the grand jury of Vermilion County helped to lynch Halls and Royce Danville is a typical Northern city, set ted principally by New Englanders. The foreign element is unusually small. Nine ty per cent of its inhabitants are North erners born in this country. It is one of tho most progressive of the smallef cities ef Illinois. with a population of about l4.0O0. It is touched by five raile roads. has several large industrial estab- lishments, d high school, eighteen church" es four daily and five weekly newspapers. Peace and quiet are it's normal charac- teristics. It is remarkably free from row. dyism Every one works. It is the cap ital of Vermilion County and is 12 miles south of Chicago
 Joseph G. Cannon, next Speaker of the House of Representatives. represents Dan vile in Congress. He was Congress- man in 1895. when Halls and Royce were lynched. At the time he voiced the sent iment of Danvile in a public statement as follows:
 ''The outrageous assault upon one of the fairest and best young women of this county by a couple of human brutcs is in the estimat ton of our best citizens, cnly paralleled by the shame which has been cast upon the good name of this community through the lawless execution of the perpetrators of that horrible crime. It is the saddest and blackest page that has been recorded in the course of two generations against Vermilion County.
 Of the seventeen men lynched in Illi- nois, thirteen were guilty of outrageous assaults on women.
 Here is the record of the State since 9S:
 S. J. Miller. negro, lynched at Bard we'll in 1893 for assaulting and murdering the Ray sisters. two belles of the city He was aided in the crime by another negro, who escaped.
 Doe" Bush. a negro, lynched at Deca tur in 1893, for assaulting a girl.
 Two negroes lynched in 1893 at Peoria for agsaulting a girl. Names of the ne groes unknown.
