l pect to perform regardless of the pro- | test of any individual or any body of men until the legislature sees proper to change the law on the subject. All taxing authorities recognize that | the great bulk of taxes are paid by the small property or land owner. That this is the case in Alabama we all know. An examination of the assess ! ment books of tho different counties | will clearly show that tho small land owner pays more nearly the full value | of his property than any other class | of citizens The gross undervaluation of property is generally found in the assessment of the holdings of large cor porations and large land and property | owners in the state. and it Is generally I from that source that the protest | against legal assessments come. The asserted cause of complaint is that other counties are not brought up 10 the same standard to which the state l tax commission is now endeavoring to bring these in which protestants live. It Is manifest that the commission con- not be in each county of the state | simultaneously; that it must make l beginning, and it Is apparent that the proper discharge of its duty requires | 1t to make this start at the top and not nt the bottom of the financial ladder. The state government can only work with the instruments with which the people have provided 1t, and if there ought to be come method or machinery whereby this work can be carried on contemporaneously over the whole state the defect in the law cannot be attributed to the governor or state tax commission.
 Tt is much to be regretted that the execution of the laws should at any time occasion dlsquietude to any indi- vidual. but whom 1t does 1t Is not the fault of the law nor of those charged with It's execution. The performance
 of my duty is frequently attended with
 unpleasant incidents, but whatever dis
 agreeable features may accompany its
 discharge they will in no way influence

Dwells Upon Reign of Terror in Lewis burg Beat-O'Neal Refers to Sey-
 eral Disbursements From
 His Contingent Fund

l Montgomery, october 3.-(Special.)--
 Gov Emmet o'Neal this afternoon is-
 sued dignified reply to the property
 owner of Montgomery county. who met
 at the county courthouse here last week
 and protested against the raises in tax
 assessments made by the state tax com mission.
 l The governor in his reply referred specifically to several disbursements
 from his contingent fund, for which he was criticised by one of the speakers
 at the meeting. He also answered va rious statements made at the meet ing relative to his employment of spe- cial counsel.
 l In defense of. his action in employ ing special council, Governor ONeal declared that the constitution of the
 state confers upon him the power of engaging special counsel for the en-
 forcement of law, and he maintained
 that the men whom he had employed
 are of "the highest professional and
 personal standing"
 T do not believe" said Governor l O'Neal, that any fair minded citizen of the state will feel that 1 have been
 unmindful of my duty in paying a req
 sonable compensation to put an end to | the reign of terror in Lewisburg beat | in Jefferson county, where there had been more than 20 assassinations with
 out a single arrest, not ip removing l from office a sheriff who stood ioly by | while armed men took from the custody | of the law prisoner and put him 10
 death, nor in subjecting the enact
 ments of the legislature to that exam l ination which saved the state embar- rassment and loss of money which has i followed in many instances where from | want of such examination they have been held violative of the constitution. l In reference to the action of the tax commission In assessing property in Jefferson county Montgomery and Mo- 1 bile counties, Governor ONeal declared: {:
 Tt is admitted that there is a great ] lack of uniformity in the valuation of real property in the different counties | of the state But if lands of the same quality and character are unequally
 assessed in different counties this con- dition is due alone to the action of the l tax assessors.
 l q know of no way in which to equal | ize taxes except by requiring each in-
 dividual property owner to pay on his
 real and personal property subject to taxation 60 per cent of its actual cash
 value"

 ernor O'Neal declared, lis frequently at

 During the Fair

During the state fair Birmingham will be fill ed with visitors the street cars, cafes and other public places will be crowded and overtaxed.
 The telephone will be used excessively and usual demands of this brief period.
 Your cooperation is necessary and will be particularly valuable between 9 and 1O:3O o'clock every morning when the greatest con- geston is likely to occur.
 The service is improving and will continue to improve But even under ideal conditions, such heavy traffic as occurs during the state fair will necessarily affect the service.
 Our effort shall be to give service that will be commended by the visitors. You can help us and at the same time increase the efficiency of your own service.
