JAPANESE EXPO

Fact That 1t Is First in East
Aids Greatly.

Toxic April 25.-The great exposi-
ton TO be held in the capital of Japan

ways. 1t will be the first internation-
al affair of the kind ever held in the

cause the introduction of innumber-
able features hitherto unknown in
similar expositions that have been Civ

Mr.. TAXPAYER IS
IN A HARD ROW
Held That All Peoples Proper
ty Can Be Attached for
Delinquency.
BINGHAM MAKES RULING.
CONTENTS COME AS A GREAT
SURPRISE TO TAXING OFFICERS
OF WAYNE COUNTY-lNST
TIONS TO TREASURERS.

According TO an opinion of Attorney
General James Bingham. relative to
the manner in which the tredSurers
of Indiana counties may levy on per
sonal property TO meet delinquent
taxes, there is no escape even for the
man who has less than 500 worth of
household goods.
General Miller's opinion in printed
form was received yesterday by COun-
ty Assessor Marine and other taxing
officers of Wayne county and its con-
tents were somewhat startling be-
cause of the fact that it shattered to
fragments the ideas that had prevail
ed locally on this point.
1t seems that a law passed in 1897
exempted household goods not eX-
ceeding in value 500 from levy and
sale to satisfy delinquent taxes. An
other law was passed in 1908. 1t has
been understood that the law of 1903
makes it possible to seize household
goods Of any value whatsoever to sat
isfy delinquent taxes. But it appears
that the conscience of some of the
taxing officers out in the state be-
came troubled and they asked the
state tax board for a definite opinion.
John G. Wingate, of the board, wish
ed to handle the affair just right, so
he got an opinion from the attorney
general.
No Escape for Mr.. Taxpayer.
And according to the opinion of the
AttOrney.General, Mr.. Taxpayer has
no escape. Even though he may have
nothing more than cook stove and a
bed in his house, the tax collector
may take them away in a big wagon
to satisfy the wants of the great state
of Indiana, its various counties. town
ships and other civil divisions and the
graf-capablc and trustworthy public
servants.
The attorney general holds in brief
that Section 81 of the tax act of 1905
directs the county treasurer to levy
and sell household goods worth even
less than 800 when it becomes neces.
sary TO satisfy delinquent taxes. Then
the attOrney-general declares that
since the act of 1903 is a later act
than that of 1897 and since it covers
the same subject matter as the act OF
1897, adds new provisions and makes
changes. it was intended by the leg
slature to be a revision and to take
the place of the old law and therefore
it repeals the old law by implication
And then. that Mr.. Taxpaying Citizen
may understand ever more thoroughly
how il is, the encouragement pre-
sents an array of high court decisions
10 show that in such cases and under
such conditions the law first enacted
is always repeated by the later sta
tute.
So the last barrier has been remOv
ed and the tax collector unless he be
an unusually modest and sympathetic
tax collector. may go into the poorest
home and remove pots, pans and skill
lets without the slightest embarrass
ment TO his conscience

Senator AIdrich Used FIaiI on
Indiana Senator Saturday
Afternoon for His Daring to
Speak as He Did
VETERANS LEAGUED
AGAINST JUNIORS.
1t Apparently Seems That Way
Because of the Numerous
Thrusts Made by AIdriCh-
Only Two BattIeships.

Washington, April - Senator Aid
rich made one of the longest and most
forCble speeches Of his life. Saturday
afternoon in reply to the speeches of
Senator'S Beveridge. OF Indiana and
Piles. of Washington State. Friday aft
ernOOn. advocating the construction of
four battleships The Rhode Island
senator took Senator Beveridge severe
ly to task for what he called the inuen-
does of his speech-the hint that some
foreign power is preparing to go to
war with the United States.
Before the senate met there was a
conference of the veteran membrs of
the body and it was agreed that the as
sertiOns of the senator from Indiana
should not go unchallenged. Some
of them expressed the fear that seri-
GUS complications might result from
such talk on the floor of the United
States senate.
Hit at Young Senators.
During the course of his speech Sen
ator Aldrich remarked that he and 9th
er senators were building up the navy
before the Senator from Indiana or the
Senator from Washington entered the
senate, He said he regretted exceed
ingly the tone of the speech of Senator
Bveridge. The nations of the world.
he declared. looked with more disfa-
vOr on inuendOes than on open threats.
He denied with much emphasis that
any nation had designs on the United
States In my opinion" said he. dra-
matically, the senator from Indiana
had no authority to speak for the
president of the United States"
This brought Senator Beveridge to
his feet with an explanation that he
had not pretended to speak for the
president. but both Senators Aldrich
and Hale insisted that he had endeav-
Ored 10 make it appear that he was
speaking for the chief executive.
N'IiNi DtIldlOl +NINI III utIlItU
that there is anything in our foreign
relations which if known would change
a single vote on this battleship propO-
sjtiOn. IF there are any such facts
the senator from Indiana is bound TO
give them" said he.
Piles's Amendment Rejected.
At the conclusion of the debate a
vote was taken on Senator Piles S
amendment TO increase the number of
battleships from two as provided in
the naval bill, to four and it was de-
feated without division
Senator Piles was absent from the
chamber when the vote was taken. but
soon returned. and when he was advis-
ed of what had occurred. said he had
been called ont and did not think it
was fair to have his amendment voted
down in that way.
Mr., Hale promptly disavOwed any
purpose to obtain hasty action and
asked that by unanimous consent the
vote be considered as not having been
taken.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,
The WoodIawn Situation.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I notice in your issue of August 15 A letter signed by MT. Lindsey in which he attempts to tell the people of Wood- lawn why they should vote to go into Bir mingham. Now. MT Editor, I do not wish to get into any newspaper controversy. but I have been reading MT. Lindsey s several letters on this subject, and I cannot help but reply to this one. He knows that at the time the Gibson and Kennedy schools were built I was chair man of the building committee, and as such had more to do with locating the schools than any man in Woodawn; and he also knows that I did not have one cent of moneyed interest in the location of these schools, and he also knows that the statement that members of the board gave A lot to induce the location of either of these schools is not a fact; but 1t is a fact that Lindsey's friend and CO., worker J, B. Chamberlain, was on the hoard at that time" urged the council to add to the central school, and MT. Chamberlain very kindly offered to the town his residence at about four times what it was really worth at that time. Now the Woodlawn Realty company. ..through J. B. Gibson gave the town . lot to build one school on. and, of

Why Should Leaders Be
 Permitted To Remain?
Estes Says It Is Time Something Was Done Show nsoen Violators of Peace and Dignity of State That
 Alabama Is No Place For Them

It seems to me that such condition Of affairs is monstrousl Why should we. the innocent third party, be made to suffer because Fairley wants to run the district, and in order to do so permits his thugs to dynamite houses, shoot into trains and intimidate men who want to work?
 Why should we suffer this fellow, for eigner by birth, to upset our commercial prosperity, arraign our governor and our sheriff, and bring shame on the name of our grand old state?
 And this fellow White, why should we permit him to come into our country and organize the negroes against the white people of this district, and destroy the good feeling that has existed? Would it not be well for him to go to the mines of Illinois, where the white miners will not allow the negroes to work? Do we want a Springfield riot in our midst started by this carpet-bagger?
 It is time something was being done to show these insolent violators of the peace and dignity of our state that Alabama Is no place for them. Colorado citizens showed what they thought of Fairey and how he should be treated. Are we less men than they of Colorado?
 Yours truly, G. H. ESTES.
