T. c. MCDONALD BITTER IN
CRITICIZING WARDS PLAN
TO INCREASE TAX RATE
Rdicues Commissioners for Allowing Million Dollar Deficit
Accumulate When They Were Put in Office to Get
City on a Sound Business Basis

T. c. Mcdonald writes a letter to
the editor of The Age-Herald in which
he uses some plain language in talk
ing about Commissioner Wards report
ed proposal to increase the tax rate in
Birmingham.
He save he has read the proposal
with alarm and intimates that Mr..
Ward never could have been elected II
he had suggested such thing while
a candidate.
He is bitter in denouncing the ac-
cumulated deficit of the past three
years under commission government
and ends his communication by saying
1.-THE trouble is We only have one COM
missioner and usually there are two
votes against him." His letter is as fol-
lows:
To the Editor of The Age Herald:
/ read with alarm the published
statement in Sundays papers of Com
missioner George Ward in which he
advocates an increase of the city tax
rate by one-half more than what 1t is
now; that is, from 81 to $1.50. and he
says this is by far the most direct
manner to raise money for the relief
OF the city. a'tH
Unquestionably the quickest way 20
get a mans money is Just to throw
him down and take 1t away from him
That is one way to raise money The
favorite way heretofore has been, when
the commissioners needed little money,
to sell million dollars or so of city
bonds, and get It, This method seems
to have been worn threadbare or the
limit reached, don't know which, and
now the proposition is to make cats
paw of the legislature and tax the peo-
pie heavier.
Does anyone believe that Commits
s.oner Ward could have been elected
IL he had taken the taxpayers of this
city into his confidence and told them
that he would favor raising the taS
rate by one-half more than what II
is: In the name Of high heaven, ism
this community staggering enough al
ready under the burdens of taxation

pletely covered with eczema for year.
It commenced with several small water
pimples. which burst when l scratched

and ooxed a yellowish fluid hated to

badly had no rest at night. 1 tried
a good many remedies for eczema, both
liquid and salve. but they did me no
good, only made the skin more rough
and scaly. I learned of Resinol ONT
ment and Resinol Soap and tried them,
and was relieved of the severe itching

STEEL CORPORATION OFFICIALS
EXPECTED TO ACCOMPANY
RESIDENT-RAIL MILL TO
OPERATE WEEK THIS MONTH

President James A. Farrell of the United
States Steel corporation will be in Bir-
mingham next month. 1t Is understood
that he will be here about January To- 1t
is believed that Mr.. Farrell will be ac-
companied by several of the Steel corpor-
alton officials. although no statement has
been made.
Mr.. Farrell, by reason of his interests
here. is anxious to know Birmingham bet
ter and to more carefully study the COM
pany properties here In addition to that
the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad
company is preparing a careful pro-
gramme of vast development In Birming-
ham, and it is believed these two motives
have influenced Mr.. Farrell to make a re-
turn visit here in January.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1914-12-03

But Commissioner Ward throws out the
bait that a downward revision OF
license schedules would be rendered
possible by an increase in the tax rate.
Tfe Is careful not to say that such would
be the case. Will the tax and license
payers swallow the bait? The same
argument was made when the tax rate
was increased the last time to 81. and
Furthermore, we were assured then tina.
the increase would raise funds suffi-
oicnt to run the city always In high
speed without any more increasing.
The published financial condition of the
city in the same paper contains some
astounding information. Ponder over
this, good people. l quote from the re-
Port as follows:
Deficit fiscal year ending Septemb er
30. 1912, $3.50. 103.49.
Deficit fiscal year ending September
30. 1918. $312.5S3.S3.
Deficit fiscal year ending Septem Der
80, 1914, $265.234.34
Total deficit. $s46,92166.
Now we are told that a commission
form of government with three com
missioners was the proper thing and
would put the city on sound business
basis, but 1 challenge anyone to assert
ard substantiate that this showing in
dictates sound business. Think of 1t, q
total deficit of one million dollars In
three years and while the commission
form of government has been in force
too. Suppose the Tennessee Coal, Iroa
and Railroad company or the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad company, or the
First National bank of Birmingham
should be run at heavy deficit fof
three years straight along, how Ions
would 1t take the stockholders to fire
out the officers and heads of depart
mcnts? No longer that 1t would re-
CURE to give notice and call stock
holders meeting. And here we are
paying three commissioners $1,000 a
year each to sit back in easy chairs

dollars a year in debt, and then to cap
the climax, with more complacency that
Nero exhibited while Rome was burn
