WHAT IS THE TAIN6 YOU CALL LAW

If the absurdity of modern
jurisprudence needed any further
evidence. then certainly t h e
record of the recent Standard
Oil case furnishes it. Judge Lam
dis heard the extensive evidence
of the corruption, bribery and
general criminal character of the
defendent and fined it $29. 900, 900
Of course the criminal did not
want to suffer and, having money,
had the case tried over again
before another Judge. This
Judge ruled that the evidence
did not show the defendent
guilty and dismissed the case.
In the meantime there was no
change in the law. The differ
ence was not in the law nor the
evidence, but solely in the person.
al views of the two men who
acted as judges. So you see that
no matter what the law or the
evidence may be, the final result
is merely the personal view, hon.
est or not, of the men who sit in
judgement. This same thing
HAPPENED in the income tax cases.
For years the government col
lected an income tax from the
rich, the law being upheld by the
men who sat as judges on the
supreme bench. Later the same
law was decided by the new men
who sat on that bench as being
unconstitutional. Nor had the
constitution been changed as
much as a letter in the meantime.
The laws are as nothing. 1t is
simply the views of the men who
for the time fill the benches. 1t
is Just as one king says this shall
be the law and it is so, while his
son, ascending the throne, says
that what his father said is not
law and behold it is not law.
Under our alleged form of democ-
racy the judges are as absolute

The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1909-08-03
has been sought in certain quarters to
be put upon 1t.
Income Tax Proposed.

Income Tax Proposed.
While there has been no open discussion
of it in the legislature, 1t Is considered
not improbable that the general assem-
bly, will vote not to approve the proposed
amendment TO the constitution of the
United States providing for the levying
of an income tax by the national gov
eminent.
proposed amendment has been submitted
because 1t was at the time the only state
whose legislature was in session. 1t was
transmitted Immediately to the general
assembly upon its receipt by Governor
Brown who sent 1t in without comment.
If the general assembly should refuse
to approve the proposed amendment to
the federal constitution it would put Geor-
gia, a democratic state, in the attitude
nent planks in the national democratic
platform which strongly declared for an
income tax.
1t would not mean however, that
Georgia stands opposed to tax upon in
comes, for such action, If taken, would
come with a view to providing for an
income tax amendment to the constitution
of the state. In fact there are bills now
pending both In the house and the SEN
ate providing for an amendment to the
state constitution to permit the levying
of a tax upon incomes.
The idea seems to be that Georgia
needs the money Just about as much as
does the national government, and If an
income tax Is to yield any considerable
revenue then Georgia ought to get 1t. On
the other hand, If an income tax were
levied by the national government 1t is
considered that large sum of money
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1909-08-03

would thus be taken out of the south ev-
cry year and spent principally in other
sections. Perhaps 1t would go largely, as
has been suggested, toward paying PEN
sions to federal veterans of the Civil war.
AS the Georgia treasury is by no means
flush, 1t is not at all improbable that
the general assembly's answer to the sug
gestion of an income tax amendment to
the national constitution will be the SUBJ
mission to the people of this state an
amendment to its own constitution pro-
vidding for a similar tax.
McLendon's Case.
There is surprising unanimity of
opinion among all those who have
watched the progress of the MeLendon
case in the general assembly, to the
effect that the deposed chairman of tn Q
railroad commission has nothing to
hope for from the house of represen-
tatives.
Ask one member how the house
stands and he will tell you four to one
against McLendon; another may say
three to one, and another two to one,
but few, If any, Of them will concede
that Chairman McLendon has any
chance whatever, so far as the house
is concerned, to escape removal from
office.
The senate gave the removal reso-
luton rs votes-just a bare majority
in the house it takes SO votes to re-
move, but it Is asserted on all sides
that the majority will go considerably
over that figure.
Another thing which seems just as
certain as the chairman's removal by
vote of the house of representa- tives
is that he would never have been re-
moved at all had # not been for the
showing under the evidence that he
received personal profits of some $500

Notice.

Notice is hereby given that bill will
be introduced at the extra session of the
Alabama legislature asking that body to
empower the Mayor and Board of Alder
men of Birmingham to sell certain parcels
of land, alleys and streets in the city of
Birmingham, the proceeds of such sales to
be devoted to the building up of all parks
now owned by the city, and to purchase
park for the Third ward and for the
Lakeview school section. BY authority of
legislative committee, to whom the matter
was referred with power to act.

as the result of transactions in bonds
of the Athens Street Railway company.
There are known to be at least half
a dozen senators, some Of them Hoke
Smith men, who would never have
voted for removal under the charges
preferred in the former governors
message. That would have saved him
on the senate side, and the belief Is
also that the house would have voted
against removal but for the bond trans
action.

meeting Of representatives OF seven
teen companies. OF total capitalza-

now under consideration are these:
1. That the surety companies is

the guarantee 10 cover the entire
amount on deposit.
2. Guarantee to pay 25 per cent
within five days. 20 per cent IN thirty
days, % per cent In sixty days and
the balance within ninety days; or
that the several periods be made
longer
3, Guarantee that the depositor
shall get his entire sum within one
year after the bank has closed.
A. Guarantee that the banker shall
get ultimately i00c ON the dollar
8. Thai the surety company shall
