Tax Provision Too Intricate


 "Reverting to the constitution, the article dealing with taxation is far more intricate than any workable pro vision can be. A constitution should furnish a skeleton of government and not a code of laws. Intricate details should not be supplied by a constitu- tion. To legislate by constitution rath- CT than by act of the legislature is usually to legislate unwittingly against the interests of the people. The Ala bama constitution of 1901 prescribes that certain municipalities shall have higher or lower tax rate than oth- CTS. But it was clearly impossible in 1901 to divine what taxes would be re- quired in future years in every mu- nicipality. For instance, was it or could it have been seen in 1901 that the tax limit imposed on the city of Birming- ham was such as now to be seriously embarrassing? The growth of Birming ham has made the error apparent. If Is true that the tendency today is to- ward including intricate details in the constitution, but the present best au- thorities are agreed that this tenden- cy is inimical to the interests of the intricate statutory provisions are being adopted. It would thus seem an ad- vantage to recast the entire article (article ID which relates to taxation
 However, for reasons with which we are not familiar it may be preferable to allow this article to stand largely as at present written. The immediate purpose to lower municipal interest rates and to enable municipalities to sell their se curities when money is needed may be accomplished we believe by an additional constitutional provision. Appropriate language would need to be suggested by Alabama counsel, but our idea is ex- pressed by the following:
 The Remedy Needed
 "'Ail other provisions of the constitu- tion notwithstanding, no limitation upon the power of taxation herein prescribed shall affect the right power, or duty of any county, city, town, village or other municipality or taxing subdivision of the state, to assess, levy and collect suf- ficient taxes to pay when due the in terest and principal, or to provide sinking funds for the retirement. of it's outstand- ing valid funded indebtedness.
 'In conjunction with the tax limit the subject of debt limit should be reconsid- cred. The majority of American states accomplish the purpose of the tax limit by limitation of debt. It Is used in New York. Pennsylvania, Massachusetts-prac tically all states which are foremost in financial matters. It is effectively used in many of the southern states A hard and fast limit, however should not be imposed upon every municipality in your state. The experience in respect to the tax rate should counsel that. In Pennsyl- vania it is provided that an indebtedness of ? per cent of assessed valuation may be incurred by the municipality without vote of the people. but that by popular vote the indebtedness may be addition- ally increased per cent, thus making a total debt limit of per cent of the assessed valuation. This may be too low

MISS ENGLE TO AID
 EQUAL SUFFRAGISTS
Field Secretary of National Associa- tion Coming to Alabama
 January 1

Announcement was made yesterday at the regular meeting of the Birmingham Equal Suffrage association that Miss Engle of Baltimore, field secretary of the National women's Suffrage association, will be. sent to Alabama for the purpose of aiding the advocate of woman's suf- frage in securing recognition at the next meeting of the Alabama legislature Miss Engle is one of the national organizers, and beginning the first of the year will assist the state association in carrying the f. minist movement to every section of the state.
 Tho members of the local association were requested by the president, Mrs H. H. Shell, to assist the Associated Chari- ties in It's work of alleviating the distress among the unemployed and needy of the city. The meeting yesterday was held in the headquarters of the association with a fair attendance. The regular business was transacted quickly and with dis patch. Mrs. Shell stated that the associa- tion had nearly 300 members and urged every member to make a special effort to raise the membership to 1000 by the time the legislature met in session.
 It was announced that during Christ mas week the 'Voiceless Speech'' would be given each day in the windows of the Cable-Shelby-Burton company. The speech consists of question and answers regarding the equal suffrage movement number of vacant stores of the city have been utilized by the association fol displaying suffrage literature. The docu- ments are pasted to the window and ar. ranged in an attractive manner.
 Mrs. Solon Jacobs gave an account o1 her recent visit to south Alabama an6 Florida in the interest of the cause, anc spoke very encouragingly on the situa. ton. Mrs. Oscar Hundley, chairman oj the legislative committee, reported pro gress in the movement throughout tho state Owing to the Christmas holiday. there will be no meeting of the association next week.

TAX LEAGUE WILL
 MEET ON TUESDAY
Will Hear Report of Delega- ti0n to Meeting of the
 State League

To consider reports of the delegation to the state convention and of the three Jefferson county members of the board of directors of the State Tax league, President Eugene l.. Brown has called a meeting of the Jefferson County Tax league at the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday morning at 1O:S0 o'clock.
 The meeting will be open to the general public as well as all members of the league. It is expected that at this time full details of the plan devised by the state board of directors will be given out by the three members of the board from Jefferson county. B. A. Thompson Charles Rice and H. U. Sims.
 Inasmuch as this plan will undoubtedly carry great weight with the state legisla- ture, it is regarded as of much im- portance. This meeting has nothing to do with the meeting of the committee of 100 which is to be held Tuesday after noon at the chamber at o'clock.
 The committee of 100 meeting is to formulate some plan for the financial relief of Jefferson county This commit tee was appointed by President George Ward of the city commission and Prest- dent P. G. Shook of the Chamber of Commerce.
 With these two bodies now actively en- gagged in the task of working out some means of remedying the defects in Bir- mingham and Jefferson county's financial affairs it is generally believed the be- ginning of the end Of Birminghams S financial troubles is near at hand.

POLISH PROBLEM
 SEEMS SOLVED
Relations Between Russians and Poles Reported
 Improved

Posen. Germany. December 1.-(Corre- spondence of Associated Press.)-Ger- many's Polish problems seems to have One of the minor results of hostilties has been great improvement in relations between the Poles and the Prussian gov ernment, in consequence of which noth- ing now is heard of the old fricion be- tween the races in eastern Germany. Poles everywhere are doing their full duty on the field of battle, showing cheer ful obedience, admirable courage and no less spirit and determination than Ger man soldiers Some of the heaviest losses on the east frontier have been sus- tained by Polish troops, 365O0O of whom are in the field.
 On the other hand, many indications go to show that the government now is disposed to put an end to the long period of antagonism between itself and the Poles. The Polish language no longer is prescribed. Even the mobilization proc lamations were printed in Polish as well as in German.
 Public processons of Polish athletic societies were authorized within d few udyS or the outbreak or war. PollSh nrns are receiving army contracts for the first time in many years. and the Polish Farmers Cooperative association, one of whose main objects had been to fight the Prussianizing of German Poland, not only finds a market for it's grain with the government, but also has representa- tion on the military commission en- trusted with purchase of army supplies. Representatives of Polish banks sit on the board of the war credit bank.
 The settlement law (whose object is to settle German peasants on lands in the Polish section) almost is slumbering, only a few purchases by the settlement com mittee having been reported since the outbreak of the war.

Despite Trying Conditions Leaders Feel That Anti ti-Tuberculosis Work in Alabama Must Not be
 Allowed to Suffer

The proposal to establish an open air school in connection with the public school system of Birmingham has met with enthusiastic response from the pu- nils Renewal orders have been reaching seals headquarters during the week, and have brought the total number of seals issued through the educational depart ment of the city to about 120,oOc Ten thousand red cross bangle pins have been distributed to children buying one or more seals, and a considerable number of memberships in the Anti-Tubercuiosis association have been earned by those who have sold 100 seals or more. The bangle pin made a great appeal to the negro schools, though the number of seals absorbed by the colored people bears no relation to the prevalence Of tuoer- oulosis among them. The association bopes to arrange some special provision for incipient tuberculosis among negro children. in addition to the proposed open air school.
 First Membership Badges
 It is interesting to note that the hrst applicant for a membership badge and
 
 school Fred Reed by name, aged years. The next was Aaron Cohen, aged about F. These, it is felt, are on the way to a good sort of citizenship. Three dollars have come from St Paurs school. Other private schools are to be heard from.
 The Rota rian club has been giving a good account of itself in response to the seals campaign, as have number of lodges the Maccabees, Elks Clrsiey). Masons CWylam), Knights of fythias CBirmingham). with others to be heard from.
 From the booths a total of $4S7.o0 had been turned in up to Saturday morning. Most energetic and enthusiastic work was being done by a large committee Of ladies throughout Saturday. to whom more than s30O worth of seals had been issued. It was expected that the seals of the oay would run up to a splendid total. Actual deposits for the city work, in- cluding donations showed on Saturday morning sS74.93. Ensley, Pratt.

holders valid claims, the bondholders have no relief. The supreme court of your state has taken substantially the same position and has construed in the most liberal manner the power of a city council to appropriate for the current running expenses of the city all or any portion of a tav levied, even if the hold CTS of the city's bonds are compelled to forego payment. This is upon the theory that the corporation must continue to exist. The same theory is encountered in the case of a railroad corporation In the hands of a receiver. The receivers certificate will usually constitute a lien prior to the general mortgage.
 Disc0urages Capital
 "The effects of this constitutional tax limitation to a considerable extent are general and indeterminable in dol lars and cents. It Is a case of far reaching Encouragement of capital. A tangible result. however, may be seen. After a careful analysis the writer has estimated that Alabama municipalities pay approximately one-half per cent higher interest rates than similar mu- nicipalities in the state of Georgia. Speaking generally, if a Georgia mu- nicipality borrows money at Az per cent a similar Alabama municipality will be compelled to pay per cent. rms dHerence amounts literally to m1l- lions of dollars. It affects the entire financial structure of the state and credit in remote industrial and agri- cultural lines necessarily must be af- fects In an address before your last constitutional convention (1901) in op> position to the present tax limit it was said:
 Tt is a cold blooded proposition but the fact remains that you can't pros per without money; and you can't get money without credit; and you can't get credit without good laws
 The essential difference between Alabama and Georgia municipal credit is that the Georgia constitution and pertinent statutes are designed in the main to protect and do protect the bondholder who has advanced money for proper municipal purposes The Ala bama constitution Is defective in this respect. We and many others actively compete to buy bonds from the issuing Georgia municipalities which are sat isfactory from the physical and iinan- cial viewpoints. But we do not com pete for the purchase of Alabama mu- nicipal bonds. Bonds are not unlike cotton or any other article of trade Absence of buyers automatically low CTS price. The law of supply and de- mand is as applicable to bonds ano | money as to any other commodity.
