clapped and hoorayed, acting like

Then the visitor sought to re-

formed a ring and danced around
him lightly. Some poked feathers
up his nose. others trod upon his
toes. and one lady even Rugged him
very tightly!
So he fled into a hotel most ex-

WHY BIRMINGHAM SHOULD
REGULATE HER TAX RATE

The publicity committee of the Biz
mingham constitutional amendment
compaign has issued an appeal to every
voter in the state to go to the polls
on Monday and cast a vote for the pro-
posed amendment, which will give the
people of Birmingham the right to
regulate their own tax rate
The committee gives out reasons
why the people of the state should
vote for the amendment:
First, because it is in keeping with
the policy of home rule and that it
does not affect any place in the state
except Birmingham.
Second. that the people of Birming-
ham want the measure passed. Biz
mingham wants adequate police and
fire protection, and is willing to pay
for it. Birmingham wants adequate
school facilities, good. streets, lights
| and free textbooks
Birmingham has lowest tax rate of
any city of 100000 population in the
country.
"The people of Birmingham must
vote their own tax rate every three
years.
only qualified voters of Birming-
ham can raise the tax rate after the
amendment is adopted
Montgomery and Mobile have much
higher tax rates than Birmingham.
Birmingham has invested $4,000 in
this election.
"Birmingham's Chamber of Com
merce indorses it.
"Birmfngham's Real Estate exchange
indorses it.
"Birmingham's Business Mems

LAND MORTGAGE BILL
WILL BE CONSIDERED
BY THE LEGISLATORS
After the Holiday Recess Congress Will Consider
Bill For Creating a System of Agricultural
Banks For Use of Farm Borrowers

Warrington, December 25.-When Con-
gress reconvenes after the holiday recess,
land mortgage bill creating the official
machinery for a system of agricultural
banks, entirely distinct and separate from
the commercial banks, will-be ready for
consideration by both houses. The full
joint committee on rural credits which
has been working for months in an inves-
tigation of the subject with a number of
old bills, as well as the experience of
some of the European governments as a
basis. will meet January 8 to receive and
pass upon the bill completed yesterday by
the land mortgage committee
This measure creates a system of u re-
gional land banks for the use of farm bor-
rowers everywhere in the United States
at a low rate of interest under control of
central board at Washington distinct
from any existing government offices, or
federal bureaus. This board. comprising
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1915-12-26

five members will have almost supreme
authority over land mortgages figuring
in the system.
Members of the board will be appointed
by the President subject to the approval
of the Senate.
The members of the subcommittee on
personal credits have been participating
in the land mortgage loan proceedings,
and as the two subcommittee comprise
the full joint committee, the agreement
on the land mortgage bill ensures its
speedy submission to the Senate and
House.
The personal credits legislation as a sep
arate measure is not yet in sight, although
there have been some hearings before that
subcommittee and some phases of per-
sonal credits are taken care of in the
land mortgage loan bill. There has never
been a separate bill covering the subject
of personal credits to serve as basis for
a distinct measure this time, and for that
reason Congress probably will be asked
for more time for report.
