 The speaker was H. A. Thompson of Greenville, who will represent Butler coun- ty in the legislature. MT. Thompson in the summer attended convention which discussed taxation in Denver. He has made careful study of the systems in vogue throughout the country.
 'rhe problem of taxation is very intri- cate MT. Thompson added, ''and should be the topic of deepest consideration at the hands of the legislature. In the first place we should rectify a condition which has grown out of the mistaken idea that contagious territory separated by an inn agnary line differs in value. For in- stance, property on this side of the Jeff ferson line is no more valuable than the same property which is in Blount county. There is triangle in Alabama of which I am aware the territory in which is owned by the same company, and yet is In three counties In one county the property is given in at SIP an acre, in an- other at sS and in the third at SIPS.
