Through lack OF organization the
percentage Of efficiency was not above
80, but this year we hope TO make the
efficiency percentage above co."
Com missioner Bufium's plan Is to
get directly In touch with every road

these officials perfect an organization
even to the Temotest section.
There will be q much. higher degree

The Boy Assassin.

Archduke Francis Ferdinand was a
representative Of national authority.
His assassination recently was a pro-
test against that authority.
There Il growing number Of such
tragedies, There Is an increasing dis.
position by misguided persons TO use
violence against those Who reflect law
and government. Several such a..
saSsinat Ions now occur within a year
against intervals OF three or four or
even ten years for a single killing for
merry.
II was live years between tie as.
sassination Of Daniel, Prince Of Mon.
tenegro, and the shooting Of President
Lincoln, IL was three years between
the killing OF Monomet All, pasha OF
Turkey, and the assassination OF
Alexander, car Of Russia. II was
eleven years from the killing Of Mayor
Carter Harrison, OF Chicago, TO the
staying OF Lord Cavendish, lord lieu.
tenant OF Ireland. There were four
assassinations OF noted personages In
1907, four In 1909 and three In 1913,
including King George, OF Greece, and
President Madero, Of Mexico.
The newest assassin Is . boy OF Is.
He had q fellow conspirator OF 81.
Their imaginations we're undoubtedly
fired to the crime by the utterances
OF older people who counsel violence
and resistance. The growing tenden-
cy to preach hostility to ell authority
Is observable In every part OF the
world. The onslsughts OF unre-
strained license In Illuminating
against the representatives Of author.
ity, whether . president OF the Unit.
ed States or the governor OF an old
world province, bring on their crop Of
boys or men with concealed pistols or
deadly dynamite.
There are no heroes among the as.
sassins. They are typiied by Guitteau
and Czolgosz. They are pretty much
all alike. Weak OF mind, unbalanced,
cratic and violent, they symbolic no
great cause. The way TO better gov.
eminent Is not with Q pistol. The
way to greater human happiness Is
not by adjustment OF all government,
The real way to revolution Is
through the citizens conscience and
the ballot box.

TAXATION WILL BE MOST
 IMPORTANT SUBJECT FOR SOLONS. SAYS THOS. E. KILBY

That the matter of taxation will be the most important duty confronting the legislature in its next regular session is the opinion of Thomas E. Kilby of Anr niston. lieutenant goveinor-elect. 4.
 While a visitor yesterday MT. Kflby de- clared that some means must be devised to equalize the burden of taxation in order that no one county or section will be required to beaEt 1t all. He also ex- pressed himself favorable to the idea of permitting, certain cities to tax them selves Or increase their rates of taxation in <order that they may continue to grow.
 Mr. Kilby favors increasing the scope of the railroad commission in order that it may discharge the functions of a pub lie utility commission. Tn the event that there is a joker" in the local option bill passed by the legislature in it's last ses- sion, he is in favor of striking the joker out in order that counties. now selling liquor, may legislate against the sale if they so desire.
 After al,' he added significantly, Ala bama needs a business administration and a cessation from friutless political agitation. We must get our system of tax ation up to modern standards, must equal ize the burden and eventually reduce the rate.
 Question of Taxation
 Taxation is varously considered as a
 duty, burden and privilege. Regarded
 in the light of individual responsibility
 it is the duty of every citizen to pay ir l due proportion to the responsibilities he
 assumes and the benefits he derives. II becomes a burden when it is out of pro- vantages the individual derives from community action. It is a privilege when one voluntarily. through the exercise of | the ballot, taxes himself in order that l he may receive larger benefits.
 Considering taxation as a privilege, we I are circumscribed by our state consti- l tuition. Many of our cities during the l last decade have outgrown the limitations | placed upon them by the constitution and their development has been retarded | by lack of revenue. I know this is true
 of Anniston. I understand it is also true of Birmingham. If the people of An.
 niston, Birmingham. or any other cities of the state desire to tax themselves
 to meet the present day needs, I see nc
 reason why they should be denied the privilege They should be competent tt
 decide the matter for themselves within
 reasonable constitutional limits. If tn, people of the state want to tax them

After consid- erable correspondence, which passed be- tween the Atlanta Athletic club and the Birmingham Country club. the former de- cided to relinquish this tournament to the Birmingham club, because of their club building having been destroyed by fire
 This tournament is second only to the southern championship and its titles are held by men who have represented the south in the sectional doubles in Chi cago.

selves by. districts to provide funds with which tsfincrease their educational facil-
 tieS s,hd wipe out the stigma of illit- eracy, I think they should be allowed Ito do so.
 Equalizing the Burden But the main thing is equalization. My own county of Calhoun is said to be as-
 sessed on nearer a uniform basis than any other county of the state. If all counties were similarly assessed we would have no trouble in financing the state, and in fact I believe material reduction in the tax rate could be made. If some system can be devised under which we can have real equalization no one section of the state will have a legitimate excuse for complaining of taxation as a burden The matter of equalization is one of utmost importance.
 "I think the power or the Alabama railroad commission should be enlarged. It should be a public utility commission with Jurisdiction over street railways. telephone and telegraph and other public utility companies, as well as railroads.
 "As to other legislation that I consider important, I would have the fee system abolished and the convicts removed from the mines as soon practicable with 1 due regard to the states finances.
 Other Important Matters
  agement to the state highway commits sion in it's great work of improving the roads of the state. During the recent | campaign I travelled by private convey | ance over nearly 2000 miles of Alabama dirt roads, In practically every county | a start towards good road building has been made, but only a start. Impetus to
 the work by counties should be given by | liberal state aid.
 ''I think the movement started by Gov ernor ONeal for the reform of the Ju- 1 dietary and court practice is matter of the very greatest importance. think | the fight should be resumed
 q would strike out the Joker in the | as to enable counties which now sell | liquor to vote it out if they so desire. l 'I would abolish all useless offices and would combine the duties of others under
 one head where practicable. A consid- | erabe amount of money may be saved
 the state ny proper readjustment along these lines.
 "As to the need of economy in ad- minstration, l am sure we are all of one
 mind I heartily indorse that plank of MT. l Henderson's platform that he will not sign
 any appropriation measure that tends to | go beyond the available revenue of the state. J am with him in favor of the bulget system. I repeat what I said
 during the campaign, that what the peo- | pie of Alabama really want is more per- l formance and fewer promises-more busi- ness and less politics.
