After street Car Panses Now.


 During the period that the anti-pass bill has been such a bone of confenS tion in either the Senate or the House. while the editors of the State have been in tho public eye because of thatr grief at the prospective deduction of all annuals. there has been . small coterie of Eleeful chucklinR people who stand close to the high and mighty head of the street car Sys- tenn of their city. For the genera. am ti-pass bill especially exempted From It's provisions any street railroad In the State. and these friends of the aforesaid high and mighty felt that their passes on the street cars were safe.
 But they chuckled a little too loud, and the noise was overheard. In con sequence. MT. Long. of Butler county, chairman of the House Committee on Commerce and Common Carriers. yes terday introduced In the House a bltl to prohibit the acceptance of a pass over any street car line in the State.

We feel as if .e were about time to say something in reference to Clapp'' Shoes, and while the su- perlatives have probably not been exhausted, yet it does not come to us just which ones to use for this occasion.
 Suffice to say there are no bet ter, ther. cannot be any better and they canno. be made any bet ter.
 So, in a word, you have the best and that settles it.
 This is the truth as far as we know, ie the truth as far as the shoe manufacturing world knows. is the truth as far as shoe dealers know.
 Montgomery is peculiarly blessed in having as fine shoes in its shoe stores as are to be found anywhere in the world and pre- eminently among these are Laird, Schoj per & O. s for ladies and the Edwin Clapp for men.

Opposes Corporation Franchise Tax.

A citizen of. Alabama not conected with any corporation was interviewed last evening in regard to House plu 6Il. which has been referred to the Ways and Means Committee. He de- clared 1t the most unreasonable meas ure ever presented to Legislative body.
 The matter is entitled "A Bill to be entitled an Act to further provide for the revenue of the State, requiring all foreign corporations authorized 70 do business in this State. under the laws of Alabama. to nay an annual Iran chise tax" |.
 The gentleman pointed out that the bill requires foreign corporations doing business in Alabama to pay 20 per cent on the first $100 of capital employed in the State, and half this amount to each county In the State. Thus, a for- eign corporation employing $100 capt- the State $25 and each of the sixty seven counties $t2.50. total tax of SS62.5o. on $10J capital employed.
 According to the provisions Of the bill if the fol eign corporation employs q, ,O0O capital. 1t would pay $T0 to the State and S35 to each of the sixty seven counties in the State. or total of S2,415. on the bases of business In every county in the State.
 It is the contention of the gentle man that this bill. should 1t become law. will drive every foreign corpora tion ont of Alabama. He contends the Democratic platform does not endorse such legislation. and the people of Alabama will not endorse 1t or the men who enact it.
