MUCH INTEREST
 IN APPOINTMENT
Nesmith's Friends Are Still Hopeful That Local Man
 Will Be Given Place

The announcement from Montgomery contained In The Age Herald of yes terday that Governor O'Neal today would most probably appoint the sue cessor of the late Justice R. T. Simp- son, caused considerable gossip and speculation in Birmingham.
 The consensus of opinion Is that John B. Knox of Anniston will receive the appointment, this in accordance with an intimation from the governor which was published in The Age-Herald of last week.
 It is considered certain that in case Knox Is not appointed the governors s choice will be either Judge c. C. Ne smith of Birmingham or Perry Thomas of Clayton.
 The friends of Judge Nesmith are hopeful that the choice of the gov ernor will be the well known Birming- ham judge. When it became known last week that Knox was probably the governors choice, delegation of 23 Birmingham attorneys requested that they be given d hearing by the chief executive. The request was declined however, and since that time no man in the interest of either of the possibil- tiles has seen the governor unless the report is true that Congressman Fred Blackmon was given hearing in the interest of Mr. Knox on Monday.
 Birmingham attorneys have recom- mended Judge Nesmith on account of his ability, his natural legal tempera- ment, and the fact that he is not con nected with any corporate interest. They are hopeful that he will be chosen although the consensus of opinion as stated above, is that MT. Knox will be with the appointment to the vacant seat.

MAPS REQUESTED
 OF MISSISSIPPI Burlington Is Preparing to Send COlOnists Into the South During Fall

Jackson, Miss, September 24.-(Special) Secretary of State Power has letter from F. NJ. Rugg, Northwestern passen- ger agent of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad company, in which he asks for few maps of the state of Mis- sissippi and explains that they are wanted for the use of their travelling passenger men, who will be called on to accompany 'thousands of tourists and homeseekers to Mississippi this fall"
 The maps will be sent, of course, as those are the character of letters the Mis- sfssippi officials like to get. They are strong evidence of the fact that the tide of emigration is turning in this direction, and in the event Mississippi does not land the homeseeker, some adjoining state will, and lasting good will have been done for the south.
 Homeseekers are seen here every day, fin the northwest, it is said by these ad- vance agents, great crowds will flock to this section in search of land bar gains.
 Miss Susie V. Powell has returned from Forrest county. where she visited some of the tomato club girls and found them and their families very enthusiastic over the work and the result of their labors the first year One 15-year-old girl has canned more than 1900 cans off her one tenth of an acre of land, and has sold about S35 worth. Others have done al- most as well, and the tomato spirit is rampant in those communities.

FRANCHISE TAXES

Jefferson and Mobile Co.,

O'NEAL ISSUES ORDER
Governor Declares Corporations in These Two Counties Have DispOsi- ton to Pay on Only so Per
 Cent of Their Capital

Montgomery. September 24-fSpecial.)- Governor O'Neal had a conference today with Tax Commissioners J. V. Allen of Jefferson county and D. J. Callaghan of Mobile county, with reference to the col lection of franchise taxes in their re- spective counties. At the conference there were also R. B., Evins of Greensboro, legal adviser to the governor, and Daniel w. Troy, special counsel, of Montgom- cry.
 The governor authorized Commissioners Allen and Callaghan to proceed at once to the collection of the full amount of franchise taxes from corporations in Jeff ferson and Mobile counties. In these two counties, according to the governor, there is great disposition on the part of corporations to pay on only Go per cent of their employed capital in the state. whereas the law requires, according to the governors and attorney generals in- depreciation, the payment of this tax on the basis of 100 per cent of the employed capital.
 Commissioners Allen and Callaghan | were directed by the governor to pro-
 
 full amount of this tax, and to take | action against any corporation that failed l to pay a franchise tax on 100 per cent l of their employed capital. Still Studying Tax Matters | Governor O'Neal is still making a study of tax assessment matters, and his desk | is piled high with books setting forth systems of taxation of the various states | of the union. There can be no doubt 1 that matters of taxation are now engag- l ing his most serious, az well as constant consideration, and 1t is equally certain that he is determined to use every ounce of energy at his command to bring about a more equitable system of taxation In Alabama than that which at present obs | tains.
 The governor believes that the peopa of the state do not fully understand the subject of taxation, else he thinks they would not so vigorously protest against the action of the state tax commission. 1t is very probable that he will within the near future issue a lengthy state ment on the duties and function of the | tax commission, in which paper he will set out at length the imperfections of the present system. together with sug- ! gestions for various reforms which he would like to see put into effect.
