AGE-HERALD ECHOES

Savannah Press: The Birmingham Age Herald thinks both MT. Taft and his boom are at sea.
 Columbus Ledger: The Birmingham Age-Herald declares that MT. Bryan has sounded the keynote until he is hoarse.
 Union Springs Herald: The Age-Herald recognizes the prominence of Hon. Walter D. Seed, as prospective candidate for governor.
 Talladega Mountain Home "Ned Brace in Sundays Age-Herald talked right out in meetn' " and what he said was to the point.
 Washington Herald: we have happi- ness by the jugful" says The Birming ham Age-Herald. That's the way it gem orally comes in prohibition states.
 Austin Statesman: We are wondering if the Montgomery Advertiser and The Birmingham Age-Herald have hoisted signs over their respective doors: Come in Out-o f-the-Wet."
  happiest?" queries The Birmingham Age-Herald. When we tear leaf from the calendar and discover that the new month has five pay days in it.
 Wall Street Journal: The wildcat fnan- ciers of Wall street have had their wings clipped Birmingham Age-Herald. We never supposed that wildcat financier was an angel with wings to be clipped. There is only q tail to be cut.
 Washington Herald: 'grhe waste basket is the graveyard of literary dreams. says The Birmingham Age-Herald "Dreams' when it is our own stuff that lands there; "nightmares,'' generally when it is the other fellows.
 Savannah Press: Remarking upon funerals going up. The Birmingham Age-Herald thinks people who die con- tinue, in most cases to go down. Is this information by wireless straight from his Satanic Majesty himself?
 Austin Statesman The Birmingham Age-Heral claims that the November elections are considered fought on Taft and rough on Roosevelt. But even though they are so considered that's nothing; one of said elections was rought and tough on Hearst.
 Columbus Ledger: The Birmingham Age Herald is responsible for the state ment that "the present financial strln- gency does not justify the dropping of suspender buttons into the contribution box" Remember that when you go to church this morning.
 Annston Star: The Wall street wild caters would take to the wods if com pelled to choose between Bryan and oosevelt.-Birmngha.: Age-Herald. Not very likely, because Teddy has been known to slay wildcats in the tall timb- CTS. The only way they can escape Teddy is to go up in an airship.
 Washington Post: "The oil octopus says The Birmingham Ase-Herald, ''is so humbled that 1t goes to the White House to be patted on the back while it wags it's tail' Barring the fact that the octopus is not humpled, that it has not been at the White House, and that it has no tail, this is undoubtedly correct.
 Pensacola Journal: The Birmingham Age-Herald refers to an editorial headed 'arhe Devil in Kansas City" and then comments briefly: We don't doubt he is there" We've been to that metropolis, and while We admit close search might show his satanic majesty is there, yet we feel that it's bad manners for d Birmingham newspaper to say so.

Repeal of Loan Tax.

q was glad to learn that Governor Co., mer would sign the bill to repeal the for egn loan tax" said a merchant last night. Tt is generally realized now, think, that the legislature acted hastily in imposing this tax in the first place. Most states with undeveoped resources prefer to offer inducements to outside capital in- stead of imposing taxes on it's entrance into the state.
 ''The principal injustice of the measure, however, lies in the fact that-the bor- rover is the man who has to pay the tax. In other words, if a man wants to do some developing work in Alabama, he has to pay a tax for doing it. This is a wrong principle. A state like Alabama should encourage development in every possible way The effect of the repeal may not be felt at once. because of the difficulty of procuring money at all at present, but it is sure to rebound to the good of the state in future. l think the governor is to be commended for retreat ing from his first position when he real ized that mistake had been made
