TO STOP TAXING VETERANS

Montgomery, December 26.-(Special)-
Joseph j. Arnold, representative-elect
from Calhoun county. announced that he
will not be a candidate for speaker of
the next house, it having been under
stood up to this time that he would. He
is very much interested in some legisla-
ton, that he hopes to have enacted into
law, and will devote his time to getting
1t through.
The retirement of Mr.. Arnold from the
ranks Of possibilities for the speakership
leaves only w. l.. Martin and Tyler Good
wynn. both of the Montgomery delegation,
The fight, therefore, is unique one, be-
ing between men of the same county ana
both having much the same line of friends
and followers. Mr.. Goodwin was in the
last house and was the author of the
capitol improvement bill.
Mr.. Arnold is working on two special
lines of legislation, one to exempt the
property of old Confederate soldiers from
taxation and the other to have the state
appropriate money to build school houses
In the rural districts. Mention has been
made of the school house bill and the fol-
lowing section comprises the meat of the
soldier exemption law:
THAT the homestead, not exceeding IN
value $1,000 and in area $50 acres, OF every
resident citizen of this state. who served
as soldier or sailor in the army or
navy of the Confederate states or in the
troops of this state in the civil war be-
tween the states, and who did not de-
sert such service, shall be and the same
is hereby exempted from all state, coun-
ty and municipal taxation and the per-
sonal property of such soldiers or sailor
SHALL to the amount of $500 in value,
be and the same is likewise exempted
from such taxation"
The other sections of the bill provide
for the utilization of the provisions by
the widows of old soldiers and lay out
the machinery that will be employed to
put 1t into execution. These two sem
fences by way of comment are taken from
the Admission Hot Blast on the bill:
AN unjust feature of the present tax
exactions is that it forces these veterans
to nav taxes to meet the pensions of the
disab soldiers who in many instances
were less loyal to the cause than the
man who went through the trouble I'M
scathed To exempt these worthy people
would not establish precedent. Various
industries are already exempt for a pc
riod of years, and the Hot Blast does
not hesitate to say that the poorest cor
porate body in Alabama Is more able to
pay taxes than the richest veteran that
could be found in the limits OF the state
