CauceIIed Pension Warrants.

Did you know that last year there were over $13,000 of pension warrants to be cancelled?' asked an old citizen of Montgomery yesterday The war rants were cancelled for the many reasons that the law provides. Some of the old soldiers to whom the war rants would have been Issued had dis qualified for the pensions because they had left the State. married, died or in one way or another that prohibited the money going out of the treasury.
 While we are talking of the pension fund l wish to say that l agree with Governor Jelks in his strong efforts to get good men to serve on the county pension boards. These boards could do putting on the rolls only the names of pensioners in the proper sense of the word. Much trouble has been found by the Governor in selecting competent and willing men for these important duties. In all counties as many mem- bers of the board as can be secured ought to be Confederate veterans. l says this because 1t Is for the support of the disabled comrades of. these lected from the people of Alabama and paid out annually.
 "The sum of over $400,0 disbursed every year Is no trifle and every pre- caution should be thrown around the handling of 1t as guard the paying out of other funds. It is true that the members of the pension boards get only a nominal compensation from the State, but as the money is spent as gift pure volunteers for the work. The camps of veterans ought to assist the Gov ernor as much as possible in this mat ter"

Postonnce ofaciaI Here.

George L. Wood, Assistant Superin- tendent of Salaries and Allowances of the Postofice Department, whose head quarters are in Baltimore spent yester- day in Montgomery and devoted some time to looking into requirements of the local postofffce.
 Mir. Wood, who is a young man, has charge of his department of postodice work for the Southern States and makes frequent visits throughout his territory. His especial business in Montgomery was to inquire into the necessity of the two additional clerks authorized for the office some time ago and whose employment brought forth some criti- cism of Postmaster Buckley by Post office Inspector M. W. McCrea, who was subsequently, transferred to a north western city.
 One of the two clerks employed by the postmaster is still on duty having been allowed by the department and the course of the postmaster has been vindicated It Is understood that Mir, Wood merely came here to ascertain personally the status of the additional clerk.
 MT. Wood said that there was no inn portant significance to his visit to Montgomery He will leave this morn ing for Selma where he goes to look into the matter of renewing postofice lease after which he will visit Ensley to make a report on the necessity for a larger post office building.

RECORD TAX BILL NOW.
Mortgage Legislation Complicated
Measure to Repeal Stock Tar.
rnr TELEGRAPH 70 TIE rR1RrxE. ]

/
Albany April 25.-Mortgage tax legislation Is
now entering a complicated course before
the present legislature. and the new develop
rnent has been precipitated by the announce
ment that a substitute mortgage tax bill had
/ been drafted and would be introduced to-mor-
row morning. providing for the imposition of a
recording tax of one-quarter OF 1 per cent on
MORTGAGES and conveyances. the whole sum to
be paid to the State treasury. and not TO be
divided between Stats and locality.
This bill IS supported in the main by the bust
ness interests that have opposed the pending an
nual tax measure, now in the Governors hands
II is urged that this bill would be as eeonom-
ical in operation the other tax will be ex-
pensive, and that it would satisfy the elements
that have for several sessions urged the passage
Of the Bostwick biIl which embodies the same
features but imposes a recording tax twice
great. Besides this BILL there is a substitute bill
now being drawn by the Attorney General and
remedying certain defects of drafting in admin
istrative features and also exempting building
and loan associations from its provisions.
Then there is still third bill imposing an
annual tax similar to that of the bill that has
already passed. but making it a stamp tax
Finally there is the bill that has already passed
and now awaits the Governors aCtion. This, as
pointed out in The Tribune, has now be-
come thirty day bill. and will not necessarily
be acted on until after adjournment. The proba-
bility is that the substitute bill now being drawn
by the Attorney General viii be passed and sent
10 the Governor who can then choose between
the two bills. Possibly "A recording tax bill will
also reach him, but this is extremely doubtful
as the upstate objection 10 this form of
mortgage tax Is determined and general Just
what viii be the fate Of the stamp tax PROPOSE
ton is less certain, it is urged for this bill
that IL would save many expenses of collection
that the other tax bill would make necessary
Last Of all in this tangle. Senator Marks to-
day brought up a bill TO repeal the stock trans
fer tax law that signed by the Governor last
week, and does not become operative until June
l. An attempt TO press this bill would add to
the complications of the present tax situation in
/ a manner that would seriously affect the fate
Of much Of the great mass of pending Iegisla-
tion still awaiting legislative action.

Of recommending that impeachment proceedings be

Justice Hooker
Up TO the present time tie consensus OF opinion
seems 10 have been that the proper procedure
should be impeachment. IL the committee reported
adversely 10 Justice Hooker. But the study Of the
provision Of the constitution in respect to this has
revealed the fact that the section providing for
removal inserted at the constitutional con-
venton 1925 only after long debate and to reach
a peculiar situation then existing Of a justice
whose mind had been impaired. The debate on
