 Montgomery. March 2S.-(speciaL)-As result of Governor O'Neals utterance to- day. in which he told the Birmingham and Montgomery business men of the ability of the state to get along with out new revenue bill, should conditions be unfavorable to the one now under consideration, the legislative tumble to- night was in a worse tangle than ever.
 The opinion that prevails in the lobby is that the chief executive intended nis references to a change in the 60 per centum basis Of taxation, in the event of the failure of the present measure 10 pass, as a threat directed against the conference committee which has had the disagreement of the two houses under ad- visement. It is further taken that his declaration of his intentions of not calling together an extra session, save in so far as it might prove necessary to redeem the local option pledges, completes the threat, in that the committee has the whip held over their heads to force them to report such a compromise as is sug- gested by the chief executive himself This compromise as suggested is to the effect that the insurance. back tax com mission and 50 percentum basis clauses can be abandoned. thus taking out of the measure all of the objectionable features which the hoIse has been fighting. 1t IS known that the insurance clause is fla vored by the governor. but the opinion that prevails is that he suggested it's withdrawal in order to set the pace in looking with charity on all sides. Tonight the conference committee had an appointment with Governor O'Neal which lasted for into the night. The result of this conference was not made known, though no duubr exists as to the common motive of the committee and the governor to make such a compromise re- port as would satisfy all sides. Should the governor adhere to his suggested com promise it is believed that the commit tee will not concede the points which he has outlined. In that event tomorrow s
 session of the solons would bid fair to
 be the most intensely dramatic one of
 the session.
 ] It is suggested by some that friends
 of the administration who are likewise | friends of the provisions embraced in the
 revenue bill as it has come from the sen
 ate may refrain frum acting upon the
 Smith measure until more liberal con
 cession is made.
 Should this scheme carry the day would
 be devoted to filibustering tactics. The
 Smith regulation measure is to be pre-
 scented to the house tomorrow with the | senate amendments. Its progress can rn-
 doubtedly be delayed long enough to kill
 the measure, thus forcing an extra ses-
 sion.

JOSEPH RESIGNS
 AT MONTGOMERY

Montgomery. March 2s.-fSpecial)-
 President I1. B. Joseph of the Business Mems league, presented his resigna- tion at the semi monthly meeting of the directors of that association at o'clock this afternoon. MT. Joseph's resignation from the presidency of the league followed upon his announce
 ment of his candidacy for the office of associate commissioner of Montgomery under the new commission government bill for this city
 Friends of MT Joseph have been urging him to run for commissioner since the Mont gomery commission gov ernment bill was first introduced in the legislature. The new candidate is one of the best known business men in the city, having large business con nections in Montgomery, and is pop
 ular with a large circle of friends. As the president of the Business Mems league MT. Joseph brought that | organization up to a high state of ef- iciency and public service, and dis played excellent executive ability.
 Friends of MT. Joseph feel that he has a good chance being elected one of the commissioners, and they predict | that he will make fine race. In addition to MT. Joseph there are five other announced candidates, Frank Stollenwerck, w. A. Saffold Walter Brassell, McDuff Cain and U. B. Faber. All of these candidates are well known in Montgomery and are likely to make strong race.
 Other well known business and pro- fesisonal mon of the city have been suggested as possible candidates, and it Is possible that the field will con- tain large number of representative and influential citizens when the elec- tion is held.
 Much interest is being manifested by the citizens of Montgomery in the new form of government that is promised for the city and 1t is likely that when | the election takes place the largest number of votes will be boiled in the | history of the city.

Down to 1860 the rate of increase was
practically constant, and the estimates OF
the probable future population made about
the middle Of the century were too high
President Lincoln, in his annual message
to congress in 1862, wrote
AT the same ratios Of increase which we
have maintained, on an average from our
first national census Of 1870 until that OF
1860, we should in 1900 have a population
of 1893 AIS lin 1910 1SS,9lS520 49, Our
country may be as populous as Europe
now is at some point between 1920 and 1880
say about 1926"
His estimate for 1910 was excessive by
over 100000.
During the decade 1SGO-1s7O the increase
was apparently only 226 per cent, but this
figure is too small as the enumeration Of
the negroes in 1870 was defective by per
haps 100000. For the same reason the
rate of increase from 1870 to 1850 should
have been less than SOL per cent.
The tendency at present is for a retard-
alton of the natural rate of increase. The
decennial increase may never again reach
20 per cent.
