FERTILIZER PLANTS
GENERAL DEFINES
 DIFFERENCE
Renders Opinion for Tax Commission | DffYerentiating Between Factories
 and Mixing Establishments,
 as Used tn License Law. l

Hon. Alex M Garber. the States Attorney General. in an opinion offi- cially rendered yesterday, distinguish ed fertilizer mixing plant" and a fertilizer factory" holding that the latter was a plant at which at least one of the ingredients of fertilizer was manufactured. and a fertilizer mixing plant was plant at which in- gradients. none of which was manu- factured at the plant. were mixed.
 The opinions was rendered to the State Tax Commission. of which Hon. ]. J. Mitchell Is chairman.
 A copy of Attorney General Garber's letter and opinion follows:
 Replying to your communication of the End inst. requesting me to define the difference between a fer tilizer factory. and a Fertilizer mix ing plant or factory as used in Sec ton 20 of the Act approved March z. 1907, entitled an Act to further amend the revenue laws of the State of Ala bama, I beg to submit the eollowing:
 "Section 20 is as follows:
 Any person, firm or corporation owning or operating any fertilizer factory shall pay an annual license of s2oO for each factory. and each fer tilizer mixing plant or factory, shall pay an annual license of $10.'
 "A fertilizer factory or manufacto- ry, must be held to include any fac tory where the several ingredients of the fertilizer are combined In certain proportions resulting in the commercial product. factory of this character manufactures one or more of the several ingredients of the fertilizer And mixing plant, in my judgment, includes any plant where all the ingredients of the fer tilizer are mixed and none of which are manufactured.
 'The field of operation of the last clause of section 20. referring to mix ing plants, therefore, can only be linn ited in extent--and should include on- ly such plants az are engaged in the business of mixing all the ingredients of the fertilizer, and manufacturing none of such ingredients.

 regret exceedingly to state that we have been unable to get the oiii appropriating $25.0o0 for the fairs in Montgomery, Birmingham. Mobile, Sel- ma and Huntsville passed by the Leg islature. Our committee succeeded in getting the bill through the Senate. and up over in the House, and referred to the Appropriations Committee, but could never get it up in the House with . favorable report, on account or the short time we had to work after get ting the bill through the Senate.
 "The Legislature meets again in July and 1t may be possible that we can get this bill through the House at that time I very much fear. however that the Governor may not approve the hill. should 1t pass, as he did not give me any encouragement to think that he would do so, in a conference heid with him yesterday. claiming the Leg islature .as already appropriated all the money he thinks 1t safe to do

 We will, however. make up liberal premium list and expect to have the largest and best fair we have ever held"

Governor Would Veto
 Bill If Passed.
MUST CUT DOWN PREMIUMS
That the Statement of President Vandiver After Conference.
Robert Tait Chosen Secretary of Ala bama Agricultural Association by Directors at Conference over
 the Coming Great Fair.

There will, in all probability, be no late aid for any of the Alabama Fairs his fall. That announcement was hade yesterday by President w. F. Vandiver at meeting of the directors 1f the Alabama Agricultural Associa- tion. held to elect successor to J. c. Adams as Secretary of the Association. The statement was based by MT. Van diver upon an interview which he had with Governor Conner Thursday, in which the Governor intimated that he would veto the measure to appropriate 326.000 to the five leading fairs of the State, if 1t were passed by the LegisIa- ture.
 The meeting of the directors of the Alabama Agricultural Association re- suited in the election of Robert Tait as Secretary. and the calling of a spe- cial meeting of the stockholders of the Association for May 8, to authorize the Issuance of Improvement bonds to the amount of $50,000.
 The resignation of MT. Adams as Secretary of the Association, which was submitted some months ago, was for fally accepted by the Directors, who passed a resolution in regard to his leaving the Association, as follows:
 Resolved, That in accepting the voluntary resignation of Mir. J. C.. Adams as Secretary of this Association, We do so with the assurance to him that in his administration of the af- affairs coming before him, we feel per- feet confidence in the honesty of his actions
 The report of the auditing commit tee was received and ordered spread upon the minutes.
 The election of a successor to MT. Adams resulted in the selection of Rob- ert Tait, who was recently selected as Secretary for Alabama of the Southern Fair Circuit. He was for a number of years Chief Clerk of the State Board of Convict Inspectors, is at present a member of the City Council and at the recent primaries was renominated to succeed himself.
 The directors approved the dates for the State Fair next fall-October 24- November i. The fair this year Is to continue fo-. ten days.
 A resolution vas also passed, calling special moe ting of the stockholders of the Association for May 8, to au- thorize the issuance of bonds to tho amount of s50,000 upon the property of the Association, to pay outstanding bills for Improvements already made, and to provide for additional improve ments at the grounds.
 great fair is being planned for this year, and it will be necessary to put up additional buildings before fall. Last year there WAS not room enough for the stock, and additional stables for the horses and a large barn for the cattle will necessarily have to be built.
 No State Aid Likely.
 President Vandiver was seen regard
