FORECAST OF THE NEWS
 FOR THE COMING WEEK

An important event Of this week will be the conference on Tuesday on railroad affairs between President Roosevelt and President Mellen of the New York, New Hampshire and Hartford railroad. Mir. Mellen will be the only one of the four railroad executives suggested to MT. Roosevelt by J. P. Morgan. the others McCrea of the l'ennsylvania, Newman or the New York Central and Hughtt of the Chicago and Northwestern-having decided at a meeting in New York last week not to ask for an interview with the President at this time. It is expected that Messrs. McCrea, Newman and Hughitt will confer with MT. Mellen after his interview with the President.
 It Is said to be the intention of MT. Mellen to say to the President that the railroads are ready to give him any n- formation he may desire on the present state of affairs in the railroad world. Messrs McCrea, Newman and Hughitt, 1t is understood, hesitated to ask for 8 con- ference with the President because If such a conference were to be held, they thought, a great number of railroad of- ficials representing roads in all parts of the country should participate.
 Secretary Taft, accompanied by Sena- tor kittredge and Representatives Bur ton and DeArmond and three civil en- gineers is to sail for the Panama canal zone March 2i on the cruiser Columbia. It Is expected that the test holes on the site of the Gatun dam will have been excavated sufficiently by the time the party reaches the isthmus to make possi- ble an examination of the foundation of the largest dam to be constructed on the canal.

TAX COMMISSION ANXIETY

Montgomery, March H.-(Special.)- There has been some little time since the adjournment of the legislature for the people to get their bearings and begin to consider what has been done by the law makers for the good-and the bad of the state, and 1t is expected that by the time the July session comes on there will be experience enough to guide the .olons to work that will last the balance of the four-year term.
 Naturally the railroads and the schools are the most talked of in the speculation about the outlook one because 1t had most done to it and the other because 1t had most things done for 1t. Education movements received so much that friends of the schools are stopping to pinch themselves every once in a while to see if they are awake Railroad men are jumping about lively to discover what they are expected to do.
 The first enterprise to come under the han of the law, as made by the solons this year. is a railroad. which is charged uith violation of the maximum rate acts. rbe railroad commissioners have gone out with A sharp stick and if it be the truth thai such line has charged more than 1t ,,as doing the same service for on Jar nary 1 last, the test will likely come at once An order has been made reqiiir- irs the line in question to pay back to

 Tax Assessments.
 No law passed by the legislature has caused so much concern as the one pro- vding for the tax commission. It is feared that the workings of it will do much hurt to all who own property. There are many, however, who do not take such view. These say that the commits sion will seek to equalize the taxes all over the state. If this is done there are thousands of acres that will be made to pay far more than is now set down to them. There are also a number of in dustrial plants that will likely be taken in for better returns.
 In many sections of the state there are great bodies of land held by syndicates and given in at low figures. True they are not improved but they would be if the holders would sell them at reasonable rates It Is expected that the commits sion will assess these lands at something like the prices that prevail for lands about them on the idea that they would be worth as much If worked by the own CTS or sold to persons who would work them For this reason it is not expected that there will be much nurt uOue tHe small land owner, or even the large, who has been paying as much as he should compared to the fees exacted of his neigh bors.
 Interesting Figures.
 Some idea of what may be expected of the tax commission can be secured from a study of the figures in the office Of the old tax commissioner who worked under the most trying of difficulties. It is a very hard thing to get county tax commissioners. It is an unpopular job, and men hesitate to take it. AS con- sequence many of the counties never had any and those counties failed, therefore, to pay their share of the taxes of the state
 It is shown by the last report of Com- missioner Harvey Jones that for the six years ending October 30 1906, he collected net for the state the sum of $639 s29.3S, of which $44S Al came from raises and escapes, and sl91, ,619.97 from delinquent licenses This Is more than s100,000 year from these two sources, indicating what may be done with three men at work and every county brought fully into the taxation fold. The total ta xon escapes in that time was $1G5.53S 09, which shows that there is room to prevent carelessness as well as low rating.
 In the matter of valuations the tax commissioner had raises made for the six years of s71, ,34O, ,969. none of which can be credited to the county tax officers. It was a growth also. In 1901 the raises

Interesting School Talk.

One of the interesting gossip stories or the present session of the legislature is to the effect that many look forward to a consolidation of the Polytechnic insti tuts and the university at either Mont gomery or Birmingham. where the two as one would be in the center of life. It has been argued that neither at Tus- caloosa or Auburn is there that life and activity of environment necessary to give the youth proper conception of the business of living. It has also been ar gued that most of the larges institutions of learning in other states are locating near or inside of big cities. believing that this is necessary in the modern plans of education.
 In this connection, however, it may be mentioned that neither of the great in- stitutions have ever seemed so pros porous. The university is running high in attendance and influence, and with the recent appropriations will be able to make better progress than ever in the education of the young of the state. Dr. Thach. president of the Polytechnic, who was over from Auburn yesterday, says that the enrolment there has reached 800, the largest in the history of any school in the state. and there Is the best of en- thusiasm for the future.
 Work Is to begin soon on the new build ings at Auburn. There is to be modern agricultural hall, an engineering and other departments. making the institu- ton one of the best of it's kind in Dixie land
