COMMITTEE TAX
 PLANS FORMING

The joint legislative committee on revenue and taxation has adopted a tentative plan that will soon be sub- mitted to both houses of the legisla. ture. There will be no attempt made at this time to establish a tax system of a permanent nature, but simply to devise an expedient for meeting pres ent necessities. In establishing sys- tenn of taxation the committee be- lieves it will be necessary to have Congressional action in that nearly every branch of commercial activity is now taxed by the general govern ment. mostly without any regard to equity, or justice. For instance transfer concern with one rig pays the same tax as like concern using a dozen: a ten-room hotel contributes the same amount as a thunderstorm house. Stamp mills are taxed so much for each stamp, but other meth ods of extracting ore values pay noth- ing.
 There will be an attempt to raise revenue only to meet the expenses that will be incurred through the en- forcement of such laws and acts that this present legislative body may pass. This it is thought can best be done by levying on the principal indus tries, fisheries and mining It is pro- posed that the tax shall be based on
 the income or productive capacity. Nothing in the line of ordinary Lus- mess is to be touched. Mines will be taxed according to their capacity of production in wealth, not according to the amount of capital invested or the number of stamps or other ma chimes in operation; fisheries and the fishing industry will be treated in like manner In addition to this there probably will be a direct poll tax of perhaps $2.OO.
 It is said that the burden will be so light as not to be felt owing to the very modest sum to raised In the meantime the committee will seek to have the legislature memorialize Con- gress to amend the present license tax systm and have it established on a more equitable basis.

MARROW ESCAPE FOR
 PROMINENT CANNERYMAN

Frank Burkhart, in a mad rush to avoid coming in contact with the gas boat Little Glory, that threatened to run him down took the only chance open to him and plunged into the icy waters of Tongass Narrows. The boat was so close on him that it was necessary to dive clear under her and he came up far out in the bay and very much exhausted on account of the long submersion, and had it not been for the timely arrival of "Salt Water" Jake and Barney Tol, son, who went to his rescue and pulled him over to the gin where he was raised to the dock.-Ketchikan Min

afternoon, referring to statewide
tour to educate farmers to the value
of the Williamson method. alabama

by many million bushels, making by far
the largest yield in her history and 1t
was learned that lands which formerly
We're thought to be unfit for cultivation
of corn would produce bountifully ii
cultivated after this method
Ending the statement, Mr.. Seymour
said:
Hoping that my zeal and ardor in

sincere desire to see Alabama upon 4

basis, l submit my candidacy to the
voters of the state for commissioner OF
