NO ANNOUNCEMENT | ON RUSSIAN TREATY Officials Deem It Unwise to Commit United States
 Specifically

Washington, December 30.-Notwith- standing the publication in St. Petersburg of an official announcement that Russian imports into the United States would con tinue to enjoy the minimum tariff rates after the expiration of the present trade treaty tomorrow night, state departmeni officials today decided to adhere to their original purpose to issue no official state ment bearing upon this question.
 There is said to be no intention to con trovert the publicly accepted view that the trade relations between the two coun- tries after the expiration of the treaty of 1892, may continue on practically the same basis as at present under the well ac- cepted principles of international law which govern in the absence of expressed treaty relations. Apparently, however, the officials have concluded it would be unwise at this juncture to commit the United States to any specific line of ac- ton by a formal statement.
 The treasury department may consider it necessary to issue some instructions to collectors of customs in connection with the entry of ships from Russia and impor- tation of goods.

ASK PREPARING OF THE CASE
 AGAINST TAX COMMISSION

Montgomery, December 30-(Spe- cial.)-A petition for rehearing of the case of Bailey 6 Howard against the state tax commission. appealed from the Jefferson circuit court, has been presented to the supreme court by the lawyers for the appellee. The higher tribunal recently set aside the judg- ment of the circuit court in the case and rendered a decision to the effect that the tax commission had the right to set aside the judgment of the board of revenue or court of county commits sioners and make new assessments.
 In applying for a rehearing the att torneys declare that the tax commits sion is not a judicial body, that 1t was not given judicial powers by the Legislature, and that, therefore, it has not the authority to set aside the judg- ment of record
 No rights of appeals are given to 1t from any of the assessing officers or tribunals; it is not vested with the power to issue writs of certiorari or any similar processes; it does not meet at any stated times, not hold for any

BANK OUTLOOK IS UNUSUALLY GOOD

Montgomery, December Especial Superintendent of Banks Alex F Walker has received a notice from C. A. Beasley of Fayette, to the eff feet that a bank is shortly to be organ ized at that place. MT. Beasley and other prominent citizens of Fayette will be interested in the new banking iil- stitution.
 Superintendent Walker expects that large number of banks of the state will increase their capital stock early in January. Already he has received notices from several banks to that ef- feet. According to Mir. Walker the busi- ness outlook for the banks of the state for next year is unusually good, and he believes that all of them will show an enormous increase in resources by the end of next year

stated terms. If it is exercising judi cial functions it is exercising them cer- tainly in a peculiar and novel man. ner"
 In the argument for rehearing var ious other reasons are given for the granting of the application, the prin- cipal one being that the tax commits sion, inasmuch as 1t is not a judicial body, has no right to set aside the judgment of any court of record. The argument concludes with this language:
 This decision as it stands, as stated in our original briefs, will mean that the legislature may go further and authorize the state tax commission to set aside the Judgments of courts of record on appeal without notice or the opportunity to be heard to any of the interested parties and to assess taxes or reassess them rather, in any manner which it desires.'
 The decision of the court was writ ten by Associate Justice John C. An- derson, who held that while the tax commission did not have the right to appeal from the judgment of the board of revenue 1t nevertheless had the right to set such judgments aside and re- assess property.
