 to us that the people want equalization ot the tax burden. and want such equaliza- tion produced through boards of residents members of which are to be representa- tiVes of the state and county There is indication. too. that the people want a rest from the annual turbulance produced by annual assessments; in other words they desire quadrennial assessments. And it becomes evident, too, that there is a desire for such an arrangement that it will not be necessary for the state to liti- gate with individuals regarding differ ences of taxation: in other words, there seems to be a desire for a method of ar- bitration."
 The committee on finance and taxation is almost at the end of it's work of talk ing evidence. Monday Wednesday the board will sit again in Birmingham Tues day, Anniston will be visited. Thursday the committee will return to Montgomery and may begin the preparation of it's re- port. The committee has worked very earnestly on highly important subject, but one which, in requiring tedious ef- fort, is not generally considered partic- ularly diverting.

pistols and large quantity of ammuni- ton by saying that he had rented a farm in a rough part of the county and needed 1t for protection.
 A committee from Anniston council No. Al, United Commercial Travellers, and J. A. Clifford, who represented the Civic league, secured over $2O0 in two hours Saturday morning for the purpose. of laying a cement sidewalk on the south side of Thirteenth street from Noble street to the Union depot.
 The Clffords are newcomers to An niston. but began to take an active part in beautifying the city when they took over the management of the Alabama hotel one year ago. At banquet given to the business men of the city several months ago, MT. Clifford suggested that new sidewalk be laid on Thirteenth street in order that visitors might get the proper impression when they arrived at the depot. The business men and city officials indosed the plan, but it remained for the Commercial Travellers to give the movement it's final impetus.

 TO SOLVE TAX TROUBLES Chairman Weakey Says Committee Has Not Reached Definite Conclusions, But Says Certain Things Have Been
 Demonstrated by Testimony of Witnesses

Regarding the subject of taxation. what recommendations will the recess commit tee on finance and taxation make to the legislature in July?
 It is very probable that the committee itself could not answer that question
 Nevertheless, according to Chairman John B. Weakley, it has been demonstraf- ed through testimony adduced by the com mittee that the people want the follow ing:

 The closeof the Brown case marked the end of an entire week devoted to the trial of men indicted for murder in the first degree all of the defendants being charged with murdering policemen. The trial of Will Barton for the murder of J. A. Holland was started Monday morn
 ing and was concluded Tuesday afternoon. The jury in this case remained out for 4S hours and was discharged, and mistrial was declared. Leland Cass was put on trial on Wednesday morning for the mur- der of Policeman Clarence Kettle. This case also consumed two days, and the jury after being out for about one hour returned a verdict charging the defendant with manslaughter and giving him one year in the pententiary.
 The last of the three defendants was put on trial Friday morning. He was with Leland Cass on the morning of February 1, when the two officers were killed near the plant of the Central Foun- dry company in the western part of the city. Like Cass, he was indicted by the grand jury separately for the murder of both officers. Brown claimed at the trial that he had nothing whatever to do with the killings He was corroborated in this statement by Leland Cass. who was put on the stand by the defense Friday after noon.

the touch of my magic wand and
finds himself soaring to heights un-
expected.
They wrong me who say that |

What Farmers Get For Milk

The average price paid to farmers
for milk in 1913 was 3.S49 cents "a
quart. according. to statistics recent
ly compiled by the Dairy DIVISION
and the bureau of Crop Estimates
This is appreciably higher than in
1912. when the average for the ell
tire country was 1866 cents per
quart.
Milk was highest in December,
when the highest price for the entire
country was 43 cents a quart, ana
lowest In June, when it fell to 3.3
cents.
From this table 1t appears that
milk was at its highest In New Eng
land when the average price for
December was 5.O19 cents. The
average for the year was also nigh
est in New England, 4.571. 1t was
lowest In the East NOrth-Central
States, the years average being only
[3,5O3 cents, and the June average
falling to 2.866 cents. The great
est range in prices was found IN
the Middle Atlantic States, where
the December price was 4.1S7 cents
and the June price 2.912, differ-
ence of more than cent and a
quarter. The average In the Pacific
States was 4.27O.
