 Tho committee has not and will not in suit the governor by calling him a as dodger." though the evidence above dis closed tends somewhat to weaken his strong ard caustic criticism of our people. and in a measure at least confirms our po- sition that the assessments in this county are made on higher basis than the other counties of the state. 1t further em- phasizes the well known "holier than thou standpoint of self appointed ex- ponents of justice, law and right
 No Further Controversy
 We are not disposed to engage in any further newspaper controversy with our governor. His written and spoken words are the product of a master hand. His public utterances containing as they al ways do ideal conceptions of his, own and the peoples duties. If in official actions should have been lived up to and carried out they would have justly made him not only great governor, but a great man.
 The people of Jefferson county insist that tho state tax board shall fulfill the duties for which it was created. The sole and only purpose of its creation was to fairly and justly equalize the tax values in all counties of the state. Equalization of values can only be accomplished by lowering the high values to the plane oi the low; raising the low to the plane oi the high ,or by raising one and lowering the other, reaching the same common level.
 It is coplmon knowledge that Jefferson county for 10 years more has beer paying on assessments largely in excess oi its just proportion when compared witt the other counties of the state, and when the state commission attempts further raise values in the one county, which compared with the balance of the state is already too high they are overlooking the only duty which they are called on to per form, and with the governor, by failure tc fairly and justly equalize the whole prop erty in the state, stand convicted of a wrongful and unjust abuse of authority;
 Our people are willing to pay their pro- portion of taxes, and more-they are will ing to support the government to the limit of their duty. but when that government through its accredited officers, seeks to ar bitrarily and unjustly punish them, noth- ing Is left to them but to sound that se- rious and earnest warning, which has been needed before, Thus far shalt thou go and no further" until equality of taxa tion shall have been at least attempted in the state of Alabama.
