Arkansas Tax Commission
 Here Seeking Information

railroad intangibles and other fran schise valuations.
 Colonel Jones, of the Alabama Com- mission. admitted yesterday that the Arkansas authorities have this State bested on one point in their law. This is the clause of the Western State which gives the Tax Commission not only the right to fix the intangible value but the physical property as well of the railroads. In Alabama the physical assessments are made by what is known as the State Board of As- sessments, composed of the Governor as ex-officio chairman. the Auditor. the Secretary of State and the Treasurer.
 MT. Hampton says that he believes the work of intangible Assessments would be much facilitated along with the physical valuations if both were done by single body. In this the Ala bama Commissioners concur. and 1t is said that such an amendment to the present law will be presented for pas sage at the next session of the Legis- lature. possibly the extra session.
 The visitors are still in the city, ex- pressing pleasure in their stay.

A Conscience-Stricken Man
 Makes Amend for Wrong

Hams. .The railroad lost nothing. 1t was the man who sold you the fourth tickets that paid tor the fifth one"
 ssThen, so much the worse." the man replied, "and so much the more am under obligations to restore the price of that ticket"
 "But see no chance to do so." said Mfr. williams, because there Is no way of finding out who the man was in the great number employed In that business in Birmingham at that time. The man that sold you the ticket may be dead"
 "Then what shall do?' the. man enquired, T must rid myself of this money"
 fMr. Williams then suggested that he pay 1t over to some charitable or missionary cause, which suggestion was readily accepted by the distressed man, and he pulled out the s1.t5. the price of the ticket, and handed it over to MT Williams. with the request that he pay 1t over for him.
 Mir. Williams then asked the man what church he belonged to. and was informed that he was a Methodist. Upon learning this, MT. Williams said: "Then will turn this money over to the First Methodist Church of Annis- ton. to be added to its missionary fund"
 This was satisfactory. and the man walked away with smi1etof satisfac- tion on his face.

Anniston. May 20.-(Speciai .)--A conscience-stricxen man, whose name was not learned. approached the ticket window at the Union Passenger station in this city few days ago. and. ad- dressing MT. Williams, the agent. said:
 Eight years ago, In Birmingham. I did a thing that am heartily ashamed of--committed q sin that haunts me continually---in that I secured a ticket from Birmingham to Tuscaloosa over the Alabama Great Southern Railroad. worth sI .65, for which did not pay. I asked the agent for i've tickets and, laid down the money to pay. The agent misunderstood me and gave me four tickets and the change back. remarked to him that wanted five tickets instead of four. He begged my pardon, punched another ticket and handed 1t to me without taking out the pay for It. I noticed his mistake. but at that time I thought was get ting ahead in a blameless manner, and took both the tickets and the money and walked out. but I was making the biggest mistake of my life, My conscience has worried me ever since. Besides am different man now and want to make restitution-indeed, must. beat the railroad out of that ticket knowingly. and must make restitution"

Der of. the party. He slowed up It, tie towards the last. but made the jour- ney to Atmore with the party at all stages. walking every step of the way.
 Sheehan and Glass were forced to take a short life on the train, the for mer because of a bad knee and the lat ter from badly blfstered feet. When feet or knees were out of commission. 1t was the rule that the other members of the party should continue on the Journey, while the affiicted one quickly doctored sprafns or bruises and caught up as best he could. For this reason, only was resort made to the train, and then only for few miles in all the long journey.
 Fasf Pace Brought BIisters.
 Glass led the fast pace on the first day. when twenty-five miles were made before II o'clock. and when most of the blisters were acquired. Re was the strongest walker on the second day, but afterwards the blisters slowed him up.
 sheehan began the second day with a badly strained knee that hardly per- mitted any kind of walking and which gave way completely before the day was over. But quick doctoring re- stored 1t, and he took up the march the next morning and grew stronger thereafter. He and Spangler were pery haps in the best physical condition when the trip ended. The two of them essayed a fast hike ahead of the party across Baldwin County and had made ter>miles when rain storm broke.
 Spangler was the most consistent performer of the party. From first to last he walked easily and strongly. On account of unavoidable circumstances. he had to overtake the party in an automobile sixteen miles from the city on the first morning. But after that he was a steady, consistent performer. who probably suffered less from the hardships of the journey than any oth- CT member of the party. And he kept in the best humor. too.
 The boys declare that the trip had a great educative value. and that they now know more of South Alabama and its people than they ever thought they would.
 The party walked the dirt roads in preference to the railroads. except at rare intervals. Each and every one is impressed with the important part played by The Advertiser in the daily life of the people of that section of the State.

Chairman J. E. Hampton, and Sec retary R. G. McDaniei, of the Arkan- sas Tax Commission. held what they regarded as valuable conference yes terday with members. of the Alabama Commission at the Capitol. They were greeted by Colonel Harvey E. Jones and Hon. J. B. Powell. Associate Con- missioners, Chairman J. ]. Mitchell being absent from the city on official business.
 The visiting officials acknowledged that their trip to Alabama was well worth the travel and expense. The Tax Commission is new factor in the rev. enue system of Arkansas, the last Leg islature of that State having created the body, and Chairman J. E. Hamp- ton is the first head of the Commits sion. The law is patterned very much after the Alabama system.
 The first work of the Arkansas Com mission will be undertaken about the first of June next. according to Chair man Hampton. It is the first year with them and they want to get started right. About June they will fix the

ADVERTISER WALKERS HOME Say the Trip Was a
 Wonder. REAPED MANY BENEFITS
Left Afoot, But Came Home in
 Comfortable Pullman.
An are in Fine shape, Each Member of the Party Having walked on Mnch surplus Flesh Dnr-
 ing Eight Days.

Sun-tanned, but strong and healthy from their eight days walk through South Alabama, the four Advertiser tourists of the road reached Montgom- cry Thursday evening and will be on their jobs today.
 They left Montgomery at dawn May Il. footing 1t down the Mobile Road. but they came whizzing home on a Pullman car last night.
 Every member of the party was de- lighted with the outing. and already they are talking of taking a walking trip on their vacation next year. The boys are at loss to explain the great popular interest that was manifested in their vacation tour afoot. They ex- pected nothing of this kind when the tour was planned. It was suggested originally by Will T. Sheehan of the editorial department, that seven or eight days, spent walking along the country roads of Alabama. inAthe fresh air. would strengthen and help physi- caIly. men who spend their working hours at a desk, This was quickly agreed to by Charles l. Finnigan of the circulation department, Frank P :. Glass, Jr.. of the city news department. and Frank Spangler, the cartoonist. So. with two days notice, and with out any sort of practice or training. LHe DO@H smut 5QOWA lAlCAN uCoRo 6AA took the road for the long. weary walk to Mobile.
 Somehow the novelty of the under taking caught the popular fancy in South Alabama, where The Advertiser has such a large circulation, and the reception of the boys by the friends of The Advertiser was continuously hearty and cordial. At Evergreen. Brewton, and Atmore, special and de- lightful entertainments were planned for the foot travellers.
 It was a source of deep regret to all members of the party that they were unable to accept kind and cor dial invitation from the people of the growing and enterprising town of Bay Minette. Editor E. l.. Colley of The Baldwin County Times had some trouble in. locating the party by long distance phone, but he at-last reached them and urged them to stop for Bay - Minette's hospitality. But the time day. This is the party's one regret of the whole trip. \
 Physical Benefits Realised. 7 All the physical benefits expected from the trip were realized. Every man of them is eating and sleeping like farm hand. Sheehan, who left weighing ie0 pounds and carrying sur- pl&g nesns iost elgnteen pounus on the trip Glass, who started at 167, fell on twelve pounds on the trip. Spangler weighed 172 pounds at the beginning and lost six pounds. Finnigan. who weighed 130. lost only three pounds on khe long trip.
 The clean score of the trip was made by Finnigan, who walked 180 miles. The first days rapid hike almost put him out of business. yet he rallied. and on the third and fourth days. he walked easier and better than any others mem
