TAX SITUATION MAY
 MEAN GREAT FIGHT
Members of Commission
 Will Arrive Tonight
TO RESET THE CASES
Should State Make Effort to Secure Change of Venue It Is Antici- pated There May Be Sen
 sational Developments

The members of the state tax board come to Birmingham tonight for an in- definite period.
 The purpose of the coming of the board
 is to redocket the cases the raises" in
 tax assessments of which were denied by the board of revenue of this county. As result of the coming there will fol- low a test of the constitutionality of the revenue bill, which stipulates that the action of the board of revenue shall be final. A long legal struggle is anticipated. The members of the board are unani- mously of the opinion that whatever &C., ton they take in regard to the business
 at hand will be unsustained by the courts.
 In other words, the members do not agree
 with Governor O'Neal, Attorney General
 Brickel and Robert B. Evins. the admin istrations legal adviser. The action of the governor in sending the tax board
 again to Birmingham is construed by
 members of the board of revenue as d direct slap at them.
 Origin of Cases The cases in question were reassessed by Capt. Joe " Allen, back tax commits | sioner of Jefferson county, and the owners
 of the property so reassessed appealed to the board of reveaue. The board of reve-
 nue took each oi the cases under advise- | ment, and having reached the conclusion
 that the increased valuations were unjust, denied the commissioner the right to
 make the increases. The state tax board, going over the head of the board of reve-
 nue, will put those cases again on the docket and the matter will go Into the courts.
 The state will be represented by Jesse F. Stallings and Capt. Frank s. White. or not the states attorneys will ask for
 a change of venue on the ground of their
 claim that so much prejudice has been aroused in this county that 1t will be irn- possible to acquire a jury unbiased and
 without an opinion previously formed as concerns the merits of the case.
 Change of Venue Should the state make an effort to secure a change of venue 1t is antciDated that the most sensational developments will occur in reference to that point. The situation is acute, as Governor ONeal seems to be determined on the one hand, and the people of the state equally as
 determined on the other. The waging or
 the conflict in Jefferson will be watched with the keenest interest in Montgomery and Mobile, In which counties similar con- flicts are imminent.

Triangular Figure


 "Home is more than rest and security for 1t needs some one to endear 1t. It requires at least triangular figure to house in a human trinity. We do not wish to anticipate here subjects of divisions of our theme that are to be treated later, but only to state that in the discussion of this most important subject no condition and present day problems will be omitted nor pressing issues lodged to give place for some old theory and ideal, even though such a course might be easier and at times sweeter, It Is not simply theory and sentiment we are after but this Is also a day of spines.
 NO. two lines will not make a trian- gle and would make poor house, but better one than only one line or wall. There are number or selfish bachelors and spinsters who may be guilty here. And a home made of a triangle rather than a trinity will gen. crate sorrow enough to pull in the roof Especially if the triangle becomes equilateral- equiangular. Tragedy Is written over any house where 1t Is two to one'-although there are three wom- en to one man, we will have TO soive this for our sermon as marriage. Nc house or heart is large enough Tor two equal affinities.
 "The nature of home Is set out 1T the first law of the world-the law oi Genesis Not only so, but the mono gamous marriage is the style and prac' l flee of most of the brutes, and divorct 1 is unknown among birds.

 Tt will be noted also that Jesus fol lowed the Septuagfnt rather than tn Hebrew text in the use of twain, th Hebrew reads simply them but il Greek it takes more than two to b plural.

STEAMER KIRBY MAKES
FINAL TRIP FRIDAY

On the steamer Frank +. Kirby, OF
the Ashley & Dustin steamer line,
will arrive Friday afternoon, the last
cargo OF grapes from the Lake Erie
Islands, the final gathering of the 1912
crop. The Frank L. Kirby has been
making daily trips to the Lake Erie
vineyards and has brought back more
grapes than in any previous season.
The cargo Friday, according to ollie
Dustin. will be made sweeter by the

being the very last, should be the

Ernest Kelly, the government milk
expert says that much OF the infant
trouble attributed TO the quality OF
the milk is due to the improper care
OF feeding, dirty bottles with unwash-

lieves that in many cases, the amount
OF sugar added to the milk, caused in.
digestion in infants by increasing the
