JACKSON SPEAKS
 AT AD CLUB LUNCH Head of New Bank Reiter- ates His Confidence in Bir-
 mingham's Future

'If we had not believed in the fu- ture of Birmingham and the possibili- ties of this great city, we would not have come here" said A. E. Jackson. president of the Jefferson County bank, in an address yesterday before the members of the Birmingham Ad club at their regular weekly luncheon at the Tutwiler "While the newspapers cf this city and it's best citizens have seen fit to heap praise upon the off cers of the institution for the record the bank has made since being re- opened, I am of the opinion that the people of Birmingham and this district Itself are responsible for the success we have had; not the personal efforts of those connected with the bank"
 MT. Jacksons remarks were very brief, and he said that speaking was not in his line. He expressed his ap- preciation of the courtesy of the Ad club in having him as its guest.
 President Holberg. In introducing Mir. Jackson to the members of the club, paid a high tribute to the press of Birmingham, saying that without the line of dignified advertising which the bank did in newspapers before opening its doors. it would not have had the success which has been it's portion.
 While the name of A. F. Jackson las been in the mouth of every man. woman and child in Birmingham, the confidence the people have shown in the new bank. and the wonderful prominence it immediately assumed in given an impetus by the dignified copy that appeared in The Age Herald and the afternoon papers," said Mr. HoI- berg.
 The very fact that there was a lack of anything that smacked of self-suff1ciency and that the bank al- lowed the public to draw Is own con ciusions as to the absolute safety of this new financial organization, was a thing that won the confidence of the Birmingham people before the massive doors of the Jefferson County bank were swung open a week ago yester- day"
 MT. Holberg gave MT. Jackson and the other officers of the bank full credit for the success that had accom- panied them and referred glowingly to the fact that deposits in the new bank had been five times great as with drawals He predicted that the growth of the bank would be a healthy one.
 Following the address of MT. Jack son, John Sparrow proposed that MT Jackson be given vote of thanks by the club for his presence. This mo- tion was amended to make it a ris- ing vote of thanks. which was accorded amid great applause.

At the Vaudette

By special request of hundreds oi patrons, the management of the Vaudette theatre announces return engagement of the great Weber Smalley drama Scandal" which was shown at the vaudette two weeks ago to the largest crowds that ever witnessed a motion picture play in Birmingham. The crush was so great that the capacity of the theatre did not permit all who wished to view the picture a chance to get inside These hundreds have been urgent in their requests for return date and today the picture will be shown.
 special musical score which was com posed for "Scandar' will be played by a six-piece orchestra today. This Is the same score that was used by the Globe theatre orchestra in New York, when Scandal was the attraction at that playhouse.
 Scandal Is an allegorical drama based on the effect of idle, malicious gossip on the lives of men and women. The story was written by Miss Lois Weber. the author and producer of the world famed "Hypocrites," who also produced this play It Is one of the greatest morality dramas ever filmed.
 Miss Weber tells her story smoothly, dramatically and with logical sequence She shows the great harm which often comes from those miserable people who seem to find little else to do besides gos- sip. It Is a picture which shows just what a woman's jealousy and man S irdiscretion win do.
 The cast Is wonderfully well fitted for the play. Lois Weber as Daisy Dean: Phillips Smalley as William Wright and the other members of the cast are at their best.

NO KEMP PT|ON FROM TAXATION FOR P|G IRON, SAYS M'QUEEN
Local Corporation Official Says Montgomery Adver- tiser Was Misinformed in
 Rebuking Birmingham

1 Pfg iron Is not exempt from taxation as
 is tho impression being given hv certain
 interests of the state which have attacked
 the city of Birmingham for it's agitation against exemption of corporations of the
 state from taxation.
 long editorial appeared fin the Mont gomery Advertiser a few days ago in which the people of Birmingham were taken to task for their alleged ineonsis- tency in the matter. il being charged that pig iron, the basis of Brmlngham's de- velopment and prosperity. had been ex- empt from taxation since 1889, while now the people of Birmingham were objecting to exenNtion from taxation of other ln- terests
 Local Iron men interviewed yesterday stated that there is no truth whatever in the charge that pig iron Is exempt and that those so stating are merely talk ing advantage of trivial thing and mals- ing it to appear by innuendo a very im- portant thing
 Pig iron is exempt from taxes in this state, and every other state I know of" stated J. w. Mcqueen ''for 12 months after it's manufacture. That's all It is not exempt because it's pig iron or in or der that a sort of protection is desired for the development of the industry.
 Tt Is the common practice In this country, in every state in which am fa- miliar with the laws. to exempt from taxation for 12 months such products as are made out of the raw materials, such as farmers crops and mineral products. It would be folly to attempt to tax a farmers cotton crop or wheat crop the minute he harvests It.
 "The whole idea Is to give the man who takes raw material and produces out of 1t a marketable product a chance to market It. farmer must have sometime to a.market his crop or else he might sell it at a low price instead of waiting for a better price and running the risk of having to pay taxes on it The same theory is applied to pig iron. Ne are given 12 months in which to market 1t, and after that time whoever owns it has to pay taxes the same as on any other property
 ''f am corporation man myself. and all that, but l believe that none of us should be exempt from legitimate taxation for any reason. l think any state legs- lature makes a mistake when 1t exempts any corporation or corporations or any class of property from taxation when other property in the same state Is pay ing taxes"

ROLLA GRAY WINNER IN MUSIC CONTEST Awarded Scholarship to the r Southern School of
 Musical Art
 

The scholarships given by the South ern School of Musical Art through the Federated Women's Clubs of Alabama were awarded yesterday afternoon. The examinations were held in the recital hall of the school. There were eight contestants in the piano depart nient, and four in the vocal depart Inent. Mrs. Corrie Handley- Rice, Mrs. Laura Jackson Davids, Miss Prudence Neff, Professor Grambs, and Robert Dolejsi were judges for the piano con testants, and Mrs. Rice, Mrs. Davids, Miss Lucille Green and MT. Lawrence in vocal. Full scholarships were awarded Rolla Gray of Vinemont, in piano. and Miss Mildred Kahn of Bir- r1ingham, in voice. Half scholarships went to Miss Helen Marsh and Miss crline Barnett, both of Birmingham, in piano. and Irene Jenkins of Bessemer, in voice. So much talent was dis Played by all the contestants that both Mrs. Neff and MT. Lawrence gave ad ditional scholarships of one-third value each, which were awarded to Mrs l.. P Hunt of Birmingham, and Miss Evelyn Green of Blocton. piano, and Miss Err Cell Coyle of Birmingham in voice.
 1. It is the desire of the womens clubs Tn giving these scholarships to help develop the talented young people of ftne state who are not financially able to help themselves. This object had something to do with the awards of the .udges as had also the fact as to what advantage the applicants have taken of opportunities already given them.
 Perhaps the surprise of the entire contest was the playing of Rolla Gray, This young man with his simple di- rectness and entire lack of self-con- seiousness impressed all present. His mother has been his only teacher and for years he was denied the pleasure Iof study because they had no piano. With all his lack of finish" his play ing stood out like a clean cut cameo, and he was the unanimous choice of the judges for first honors.
 tt Mrs c. c. Adams chairman of the scholarship committee, and Mrs. Bost- fck represented the womenS clubs.

 It has been suggested that much of the trash can be destroyed by burning 1t. which will materially aid the city in col lecting and disposing of the garbage which will necessarily be of large quantity as a result of the cleanup campaign.
