TAX COMMISSION !. TOCONVENE JUNE 22 Will Consider Intangible As- sessments of Public Serv-
 ice Corporations

Montgomery, May 2s.-CSpecia1 )-1n- tangible assessments of public ser vIue vvIpvra,Ions 5f Araue,f.a wni pc considered at meeting of the state tax commission on June 22. Notice of the meeting has been sent out to the various public service corporations of the state, and they will be given an opportunity to appear before the tax commission at that time and make any protest relative to the assessments which were fixed by the board last year.
 It is probable that many of the cor porations of the state will accept the commissions assessments, in which event no changes will be made. How ever there is likely to be some ob1ec- ton on the part of certain corporations to their assessments, and the commis- sion will give them a hearing at the June meting. Under the law, intangible assessments, after having been fixed by the commission, must stand for two years.

CLAYTON WILL TAKE
 UP HIS NEW DUTIES
 IN NEXT FEW DAYS
Informs Governor He Will Take Place on Federal Bench SOOn-TO Call
 Special Election


 Montgomery MAy. B. (special) Henry judge for the northern and middle dis trict of Alabama. to succeed the late Judge Thomas G. Jones' has written the governor that he expects to take up his new duties within the next few days. MT. Clayton informed fhe governor that he was then engaged in making preparation to come to Alabama to take up his resi- dence.
 MT. Clayton will present his resigna- ton to the governor as representative of the Third congressional district just as soon as he comes to Montgomery. The chief executive will then immediately trict to fill the bacancy.
 The various aspirants for Mir. Claytons seat in Congress, for both the short and long terms. are all sanguine of success. Two candidates will probably enter the race for the short term-J. J. Speight of Eufaula. secretary to MT. Clayton, and Oscar Mulkey of Geneva. However, Mir. Mulkey intinated when in Montgomery a few days ago that there was some doubt that he would be a candidate A spirited contest is expected to develop in the dace for the long term. There are four candiates--Judge A. A. Evans. mem- Der of the state tax commission; Col. T. Sydney Frazier of Union Springs; Henry B. Steagall of Ozark, and Byrd G. Far mer of Dothan, all of whom, with the possible exception of Mir. Farmer, who may not run for the office, have already begun a campaign in their behalf.
 It is expected that MT. Claytons res ignation will be in the hands of the gov ernor by the middle of next week. in which event he will immediately call a special election. The special election will be held about five weeks later.
