Alabama Movement.

To work for the taxation reform
which Alabama citizens hope TO secure
from the legislature soon to meet, a
state tax reform league has been or
ganized. with branches rapidly devel-
on,ng ~ every county. A meeting will
be held in Montgomery on Dec. TO
consider legislative measures which
are now being formulated by a COM
nit;ee.
The taxation system Of the state is
under fire. 1t is characterized as a
complex ,angle of laws which are dr.
f1cutl for the average citizen TO under
stand but which involve growing bur-
dens upon those Of moderate means.
fragrant discrimination. injustice. graft
and haphazard methods OF admins
tration.
The movement for the state league
originated, as reported in The Survey
FOR November !. in Mobile and was
taken up al once by the representa-
lives elect in jefferson county. The
platform Of the league declares that
The system of taxation is unequal. I'M
just, and oppressive in its application
and that no tax is tustihable except
as is necessary 10 meet the needs OF
government honestly and economically
administered.
In Jefferson county. which includes
the city OF Birmingham. the chairman
of the county league Is Robert W
Ewing. a business man long identified
with local affairs and owner and man
ager OF q large stationery and print
ing concern. The vice chairman il John
W. Sibiey. former president OF the
Chamber of Commerce, coal operator
and manufacturer OF brick. Twenty
two citizens are serving as chairmen
of cauvass:ns teams to gain new mem :
bers for the organization.
