STATE AND THE CITY
 CLOSE FISCAL BOOKS
YEAR AT THE CAPITOL
INCOME NEARLY AS GREAT, AS
 HERETOF0RE.
Reauetien of Tax Rate by New Consti- tuition Dfd Not Cause Material Falling or In the
 Revenues.

The new Constitution. .notwithstand- ina the fact that 1t cut down the tax rate from IS cents on the $100 to eb cents on the S10o has made but slight difference in the total income of the State of Alabama.
 Although six and a half mills taxes were paid last year where seven and 8 half mills were paid before. the total receipts of Alabama will be within sI.006 of the States gross income for the previous year. This statement Thomas L.. Sowell at the close of the States fiscal year although he was uf- able to give the exact figures.
 The business year of Alabama closed last night at midnight. The State will pause. as 1t were. and take stock. Its accounts will be gone over. complied. published and distributed among the people of the State. few of the ac- counts were expected in last night and the totals will not be available for. perhaps, several days. The year was one of great importance to the State EovernmeiSM It was the first year in which the new constitutional tax rate of 65 cents on the s1oo was operative. The taxes for the year which closed September 30. 1908. was under the cid order 75 cents on the $1o0. For the fiscal year which closed yesterday the tax rate was the new constitutional one of 65 cents on the $100.
 It would naturally seem that because of such a marked reduction in the rate. the States income would be seriously affected. It was believed in the Con- stitutional Convention by strong nli- nority that so marked reduction of the tax rate would embarrass the State government and hamper the adminis- tration of it's affairs. More or less dis. aster was feared from the reduced rate.
 Governor Jelks was himself nervous as to the workings of the new rate. If there had been no special increase in tax assessments, If there had been TO increase in the returns from other de- partments of the State the adminlstra- tIon might have had a serious problem to solve.
 The State authorities from Governor Jelks down. appreciated the importance of a close. energetic and intelligent ad- ministration of the affairs of the State

with a special view of ancreasing the States income from other sources to offset the reduction from the reduced tax rate. A systematic campaign to this end was inaugurated and contin. ued. Where an additional dollar could justly and legally be diverted into the state treasury no, effort was spared to turn 1t there.
 The ExAminsrs of Public Accounts were instructed to investigate tho tax valuations of each of the counties of the State and to report as to their com parison with the real value of the property ip that County. The County officials were urged to put tax vaiua- tions upon an equitable and just valua- tion.
 pss a result the assessment of proper -ty in Alabama has increased about SI5,- ooe.000 during the past year.
 The State Auditors Department has been close in the matter of the coJlcc- tion of licenses. Exact figures are not yet obtainable as to the increase of the receipts from license fees but it is very large. Moreover the State is receiving . largely increased return from the State Convict Department. It is now receiving the fuiI beneft of the new system of having direct control of the mining convicts and drawing direct pay for their labor.
 All of these things have entered into the making up of the deficit which might have been left by the reduction of the tax rate.
 The total receipts of the State of Ala bama for the year 1908 were ss,20i,- S4s.t2. The. receipts this year will be within 1000 of that figure.
 In the meanwhile the State officials and their assistants are busy making out the annual reports and getting thcm ready for the printers. Tn the educa- tional department they are compiling the school census and figuring out the total amount of school money and It's apportionment among the children of the State.

LUSK ACT NOT DECIDED
MATTER IS STILL BEFORE SUPREME
 COURT.
yu.tsces Expected to Render an Opinion within . Few Days--No Other Cases to Re C0n-
 nfNered.

No decision was rendered yesterday Nhy the Supreme Court of Alabama as to the validity and constitutionality of thA Tnsk Judicial act The decision 1t is expected will be rendered in the nex. three or four days.
 rhe court met formally at noon yes- terJay. but no business of any sort was transacted. Tn fact there is no busi- ness before the court, but the con- sidernffon of the constitutionality of the Lusk act, the matter for which the court was assembled in special term. The arguments were completed Thurs day evening when the court adjourned. The briefs, demurrers and papers are with the Supreme Court Justices who were in their chambers at tine capitol yesterday considering the questions at issue.
 The general impression appears to be that the court will hold good the con- tention of those who are attacking the constitutionality of the act Somehow. the public appears to believe that the act is invalid because of an alleged oversight on the part of the legislature. Well informed lawyers, however. take a different view of the case.
 The contention at issue Is that the Lusk bill did not in fact pass the lower house, but that a conference commit tees report containing several amend ments was adopted by the legislature without the formal passage of the bill. On the other hand, we'll informed law yers say that 1t is not denied that the bill passed the lower house by formal roll call and that the amendments put in 1t by the Senate were formally adopted by the House when, with 0 roll call, the House adopted the con- ference committees report. It Is held therefore that the bill was legally passed.
 The court will adjourn until the regular December term as soon as the decision on the Lusk act Is rendered.

 Mountain Association

Mountain Aas0ciatiom.
 Columbus, Ga, Sept. 30.---(special.l At the meeting of the Pine Mountain Baptist Association, composed of twen- ty-three churches in Harris and MerI- wether counties, at Raleigh. Ga, yes- terday Riverside Baptist Church of Co., lumbus was admitted as a member of the Association.
 Ordinarily the admission of church into a Baptist Association Is not m un- usual event or one calculated to inspire special interest except among the mem bers of that denomination, but certain circumstances made the action of the Pine Mountain Baptist Association yeg- terday highly interesting to the Bap- lists in this section.
 Riverside Baptist Church has twice applied for membership in Columbus Baptist Association and its application has been twice rejected. It is claimed that this church is not in harmony with the general work of the other Baptist Churches in Columbus. Riverside Bap- list Church is located on North High lands and has a membership of Is0. Rev. A. T. Hart is pastor.
 The situation on North Highlands has been interesting there being two Baptist Churches there. Rev. J. W. Howard Is pastor of the othor church. known as North Highlands Baptist 
 Church, which Is a member of the CO., Iumbus Baptist Association. At one time Rev. Mir. Howard resigned as pas tor of his church on account of condi- tions brought about by the existence of two Baptist Churches in the same scc- ton of the city both of them drawing upon the same material to a large ex- tent for membership. Riverside Bap- list Church applied for membership in- to the Pine Mountain Association be- cause of the action of the Columbus As- sociation in not receiving 1t.

A TUNNEL OF THE FAR FUTURE.

The Chamber of Commerce of Paris is advocating the construction of q tGnneI under the English channel, to connect France and England by an all- rail route. The project is an old one. It comes to the front whenever there is temporary era of good feeling be- tween the two countries. The engi- neering difficulties are probably not in- superable, but tho international difi- entities probably are. Whenever the subject is broached the British taxpay- CT wants to know what's the good of spending millions to secure the naval control of the channel f you're going to build FrInce a military road right into the heart of England. Jaques Bonh0mme Immediately begins to see visions and dream dreams of train loads of the troops of 'perfde Angle terre" pouring out Of the French end of the tunnel to devastate the sunny land Of France" The millennium will be well along in years before that sub channel tunnel gets any popular ad- vOcacy on either shore of the narrow seos.-Rochester Democrat and Chron- :cle.
