 formation.

Washington. Sept 1s-Newly induct- ed into office, Commissioner Cabell, or the Internal Revenue Bureau. Is now engaged in the heavy task of provid- ing for the execution of the corpora ton tax law. He is in daily consult tation with his deputies and law of- ficers of the government departmentf regarding the preparation of the blank forms which must be sent to the various internal revenue collectors and by them placed In the hands of the corporation officers within their respective districts.
 Precautionary measures are neces- sary in order to render the forms lawyer proof" because 1t is quite cer- tain that the new law will never be put into operation without undergo ing fierce onslaughts in the courts at the hands of the ablest attorneys in the land.
 The forms will not be ready for nearly a month. Every corporation or stock company save labor, religious and mutual associations from which no individual derives a pr0ht. and whose net income exceeds $5.00O per annum must fill in the blanks under heavy penalty not only for the cor- poration itself but for the derelict oficials False returns will be made the subject of severe punishment.

ANTS PLAN BIG MEETING: Speakers To Oppose
 Amendment. MERCHANTS TIRE OF FIGHT Protest Against Endless Political
 Agitation. As Soon as Amendment Qaestien ia Settled, Campaign fer Various
 State omces wsn Bs Launched.

Birmingham, Sept. 19.-(Specfal.)- A conference or meeting will be held in Birmingham Inside of the next four weeks by men who are opposed to the constitutional amendment, 1t ts an- nounced. that will be so large that no hall or theater can be found to accom- modate the crowd. ..
 For that reason. in all probability. a park will be used for the gathering. Men win come here from all parts of the State to show their opposition to the movement for constitutional amendment for. prohibition and the demonstration will be a most effective one.
 This is the information that has been given out by men who are to be- come prominent in the fight against the adoption of the amendment. Some of the best speakers In the State. 1t Is further stated. are to be brought here for this meeting. and the people will hear strong addresses.
 Leaders on the opposite side. those who favor the amendment, say that all the meetings that can be arranged for in Birmingham. Montgomery. Mo. bile and other cities in the state will be of no avail and that as soon as the campaign opens up. which will be on the return of Mir. Fred M. Jackson. who has been named as campaign man. ager, the cause of the amendment men will sweep over the entire State.
 Jackson Ready for Fight.
 Mir. Jackson has been at Seattle wash. He Is now on his way to Bir- mingham. He has been heard from and Is ready for a hard campaign. The Anti-Saloon League has already started in on the work and much literature has been ordered for distribution throughout the State.
 According to the prominent leaders In this county against the amendment. there will be literature galore to go out from the headquarters In Mont gomery. A number of cartoons VIII also serve a purpose.
 Business men in Birmingham have expressed a desire to have the matter over just as quickly as possible. While a large percentage of the mer- chants in Birmingham. In the retail line, are opposed to the. amendment, 1t appears to be a consensus or ,opln. ion that. Alabama Is having entirely too much politics for the good of the state and the merchants in particular.
 It Is pointed out by some of the business men here that as soon as the election on the amendment Is over. the campaign will probably be started for the State offices.
 "It is politics all the time," said a prominent real estate man. man who came to Jefferson County years ago from the northern part of the State. and I am obliged to say that if could turn all my property Into money I might be induced to leave dear, old Alabama, anyhow until such time as politics were being forgotten" -9-
