It appeared prob that the company should succeed in running it's cars the public would at once lose interest in the of the strikers, but uneX- pected and unusual thing has happened. Though with regularity in the daytime when traffic naturally the heaviest, the people discomfort walking. There has thus been made clear strong sentiment of the public in favor of the carmen of which the company would wisely Ike Republican has repeatedly urged the company accede to the reasonable requests of the for better and improved working conditions leaving other matters in dispute to ar bitration At times both parties to the controversy have sgnified a willingness to get together, but they done and apparently nearer doing than they the beginning.

Taxes Taken From People
ut is the cry of the dema gogue, who
says all II this money is taken from
the great corporations and not from the
people of the state. Every true states
man knows that every dollar of tax
alton, either taken directly or indi-
rectly by the government, at one time
or another comes from the man who
produces, and upon whom rests the
basis of every commonwealth, whether
1t be great or small. And the about
taken for taxes for intangible assets
from the great business enterprises in
this state ultimately must be paid by
the consumers of the products coming
from those industries, either by reduc-
ton of the wages paid to the laboring
man or in the increased price of the
product purchased by the buyer.
These facts ought to commend them
selves to every thinking man within
the state and cause him to hesitate to

Defalcation of Lacy

The policy of this state from 1875 UP to
few years ago has been to strictly OBJ
serve the taxing limitation fixed by the
constitution, but that constitutional limf-
tatlon has since been lost sight of in an
effort to meet the mad and reckless expen-
ditures of public funds until we are now
taxed in every conceivable way and in
every conceivable manner--license for this
thing, license for that thing, license for
the other thing, until practically no busi-
ness, profession or enterprise can exist
within the state of Alabama unless 1t
pays its toll to the mad extravaganza
which has taken charge of our state gov
ernment And, not content with these
profigate expenditures recognized by the
laws, not based upon the economical adj
ministration of the government, these re-
cent political conditions have brought into
official position men who have dishonesty
used the funds of the government for their
own personal and private gain. In these
last few years you rarely pick up paper
but that 1t contains some account of some
public official either of the state or Of

Marsha Warrington Repeats Story
of Trip to Reno.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 90
For the first time since the story Of
her husbands infdelity became pub
lie property Mrs. Maury |. Diggs
heard it yesterday from the lips Of
Marsha Warrington, "the other wo-
man." Marsha told the same story
as she did in the Diggs trial.
In the case of F. Drew Caminetti,
charged with violating the Mann
white slave act, as in that of Diggs,
she remains the chief witness for the
government, although the name Of
Lola Norris is the one coupled with
that of Caminet,i in the indictment.
Mrs. Diggs sat just inside the rail
that divides the audience from the
bar of the court. She listened i'll
tently, rigidly, wincing at passages
of the testimony.
Concluding her testimony for the
day, Marsha Warrington walked to a
seat at the table of counsel for the
government. Facing her as she drew
near stood Mrs. Diggs at the table
of counsel for the defense, staring her
steadfastly in the face, with only the
width of the aisle between them. The
girl turned her 'hdad and looked
! away.
Other witnesses covered familiar
ground-the brief stay at Reno, at
hotel. the renting of bungalow, the
purchase of supplies and the arrests
Whatever the testimony OF Loli
Norris may be, Caminetti has an
nounced that he will not dispute 1t
The prosecution has stated that /
will attempt to prove that Miss Nor
ris was pure until she met Cami
netti and that it was in Reno that sh'
| welded after promises of marrlas'
were made to her.

substantially the same narrative a
in the Diggs trial.

HEAVIER EXACTIONS.
Progress Made in Consideration of
Measure-LOdge Opposes Increases
ON The Rich.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Progressive
Democrats in the Senate again pre-
dicted today that the income tax
rates on big incomes would be in
creased over the rates in the pending
bill. They believe that as the result
of the lnsurrection begun yesterday,
the caucus will be forced to make the
rates higher so as to impose heavier
exactlons on the ultrarich.
Finance committee leaders yester
day did not dare to stifle the senti
ment among the Democratic Sena-
tors to increase the rates. La Fol-
lette, Cummings, Borah, and Bristow.
put the Democrats in a position that
made then: seem to oppose heavier
rates on the multi-millionaires. Under
this number of Democratic sena
tors became restive.
The radicals had set ou to circulate
a petition and force a caucus when
Senator Simmons and other leaders
gave way and decided to call one
themselves not later than Monday
night.
Senator Vardaman broke away
from the caucus.
Progress was made yesterday in
going over the income tax provi-
sions. About half the forty pages
were read Indications are it will
take until early next week to finish
with the income tax provisions.
Senator Lodge Came to the defense
of the rich and opposed heavy tax
alton of large incomes. Senator Cum
mngs offered an amendmenet to
strike out the definition of incomes.
He held the courts alone could define
incomes. The amendment was lost
Senator Norris wanted tc increase
the exemptions on account Of minor
children so as to allow $500 for each
child. This was lost.
Little hope is now INDUCED in of a
vote on the bill the close of next
week. September ID is the date for
final vote now regarded as probable.

Denied.
HEAR CASE MONDAY.
Petition for Quo Warranto Proceed.
ings Presented by Former Sena-
tor ]. w. Bailey.

Washington, Aug. 29.-An applica-
tion to institute quo warranto pro-
ceedings to test the right of Oliver
P. Newman to hold the office of Dis
trict Commissioner was denied to-
day by Justice Wright, of the District
Supreme Court pending arguments
in opposition by counsel for Mr.. New
man.
The petition was presented by
Senator Joseph W Bailey, A. A. Bir-
ney and William J. Neale, in behalf
of w. J. Frizzell, who alleges that
Mr. Newman is ineligible because he
was not a resident of the District
for three consecutive years immedi-
ately preceding his appointment.
Attorney Jackson A. H. Ralston
opposed the motion for permission
to file proceedings, and argued that
Mr.. Newman should have right to
oppose the issuance of writ. After
hearing arguments on both sides,
Justice Wright took Mr.. Ralston's
view of the situation and: said that
he would allow one hour on Tuesday
to hear both sides of the case.
