wheel tax" on vehicles in Etowah county A movement has been started in Gadsden to have a law enacted by the legislature whereby each vehicle in the county can be taxed. Farmers say that this will mean an additional burden upon them and contend that they should not have to pay special taxes of this character when great indus trial corporations are exempted from taxes.
 Wade Smith, who was sentenced to 10 years in the penitentiary for seducing his sister-in n-law, will have to serve tho sentence, the supreme court having af- firmed the action of the lower court. smith will also have to pay $50 year for 10 years to the support of his illegitimate child.
 Judgment in the sum of $455 was given Ruben Yancy in the civil di- vision of the city court of Gadsden to- day in his suit against H. P. Smith, a supply merchant of Keener. He 2, IT. tended he had overpaid Smith. Chief of Police Pinson today served notice on 125 sanitary taxpayers ttar the tax must be paid by Saturday night mayor in police court Monday morning.

 Alabama

Tuscaloosa, June 6-(Special) )-More of the University of Alabama last night to honor the prominent state educators attending the superintendents confer ences this week at the university. The boughs of the massive oaks which grace the campus were strung with hundreds of electric lights brilliantly Illuminating the surroundings.

Smith of Montgomery, A. A. Persons. Bessemer; Prof. c. A. Brown, Birming- ham, and Supt. Charles c. Johnson of Marion.
 The members of the various conferences will leave Tuscaloosa early Thursday morning, on a specially chartered river steamer for an all-day trip up the War rior river, through Lock r, and out on Bankhead lake. A picnic dinner will be served on board the boat and it is planned to make the third day of the conferences the most enjoyable of the entire week.
 The saloon of the steamer has been fitted up as a convention hall and joint sessions of the conferences will be held
 in the morning and afternoon during the trip up and down the river. The idea of holding sessions on board the boat be- longs to Prof. ]. S. Thomas who, in dis cussng the project. said
 T am deeply gratified with the man. her in which the state school snpern- tendents have responded to the call to attend the conferences now in session, which are the most largely attended in the history of Ala bama and 1t is our plan to give the visitors as pleasant a time as possible. without neglecting the business side of the convention. The trip up the Warrior Thursday will be featured by joint sessions of the three conferences on board the boat, which 1 believe will be the first educational meeting to be held on board q river steamer in the history of the state"

GADSDEN

Gadsden, June -(Special)-Th Etowah county road commission and the commissioners court will probably reach decision this week as to which of two roads leading to Marshall coun ty shall be improved. One leads through what is known as Cox Gap and the other through Sheffield Gap Peo pie living along the different routes have been urging that both be improved but it is improbable that the road of- ficials will decide to spend so much money on roads running in the same di- rection and reaching the same destina- ton. The question of improving the road has been a live one before the commissioners since last month.
 strong opposition is developing to an effort that is being made to impose

SUGGESTS BROAD PLAN
FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE.
Increase Standing Regular Fores-Fou
Hundred Thousand Citizen Soldiers.

Increase Standing Regular Foree-Four
Hundred Thousand Citizen Soldiers.
But war has never been a mere mat
ter Of men and guns. 1t is a thing
Of disciplined might. II our citizens
are ever to fight effectively upon a
sudden summons, they must know
how modern fighting is done, and what
to do when the summons comes to
render themselves Immediately avail
able and Immediately effective. And
the government must be their servant
in this matter, must supply them with
the training they need to take care Of
themselves and Of it. The military
arm Of their government, which they
will not allow to direct them, they may
properly use to serve them and make
their independence secure, and not
their own independence merely, but
the rights also Of those with whom
they have made common cause, should
they also be put in jeopardy. They
must be fitted to play the great role
in the world, and particularly in this
hemisphere, for which they are quail
fed by principle and by chastened am
bition to play.
1t is with these ideals in mind that
the plans Of the department of war for
more adequate national defense were
conceived which will be laid before
you. and which urge you to sanction
and put into effect as soon as they can
be properly scrutinized and discussed.
They seem to me the essential first
steps. and they seem to me for the
present sufficient.
They contemplate an increase Of the
standing force Of the regular army
from its present strength Of 5,O23 off,
GERS and 102,9S5 enlisted men Of all
services to a strength Of 7,136 officers
and 1870 enlisted men, or IA, 843
all told, all services, rank and file, by
the addition Of fifty-two companies Of
coast artillery. fifteen companies Of en-.
gineers, ten regiments Of infantry, four
regiments Of field artillery and four

are the additions necessary to render
the army adequate for its present du-
ties, duties which it has to perform
not only upon our own continental
coasts and borders and at our interior
army posts, but also in the Philippines,
in the Hawaiian Islands, at the 18TH
mus and in Porto Rico.
By way of making the country ready
to assert some part of its real power
promptly and upon larger scale
should occasion arise the plan also
contemplates supplementing the army
by a force Of 100000 disciplined citi-
zens, raised in increments of $4,000 q
year throughout a period Of three
years. This it is proposed to do by
process of enlistment under which the
serviceable men Of the country would
be asked to bind themselves to serve
with the colors for purposes of train
ing for short periods throughout three
years and to come to the colOrs at call
ut any time throughout an additional
"furlough" period Of three years. This
force of 100000 men would be pro-
vided with personal accouterments as
fast as enlisted and their equipment
for the field made ready to be supplied
at any time. They would be assem-
bled for training at stated intervals ut
convenient places in association with
suitable units of the regular army.
Their period of annual training would
not necessarily exceed two months In
the year.
The president says 1t is up to the
patriotic young men Of the country to
respond to this call.
