 J. B. Gibson, real estate man, was next called upon and made good talk. He said that it was no sensible time to raise taxes and that Birmingham could not stand the raise that had been put upon them. He made several references to personal property. showing where it had decreased in value rather than in- creasing and it had been raised by the board.
 w. D. Wood, lumberman and real estate dealer, spoke next and said that Birmingham was being injured by taxing valuations that did not exist. He said that there was al reduction in property value, rather than an increase and that it was due to the heavy taxes property owners were forced to bear. He finished by saying i've are due an actual reduc- tion to the former figure"
 w. T. Hill came to the floor, but said that he could only reterate what had been said and that they should get in line on the matter. He suggested that they and for every one to pull together in an effort to stop the state from making Jef- ferson county the goat"
 While the meeting was in the nature of a general protest against the increase in taxes, no plan was adopted to oppose it. The meeting was of very simple nature, mild in tone and allowing as many as possible to express themselves regarding the increase. No attempt was made to excite anyone into action. In fact the meeting was said to have been the most conservative mass meeting ever held on so important a issue in Birmingham.
 While number of the members of the Birmingham Real Estate exchange were on hand, they took no part whatever. The attendance was composed principally of the large real estate interests of Bir- mingham, although no large corporation heads were noted. The men attending the meeting were in the class who will take up their cases independently of the real estate exchange.
 The meeting was adjourned at o'clock by motion with no definite date set for the next meeting. However, there will be other meetings to outline a plan and to further discuss the project Before adjournment another motion was made by General Clark that the chair thank the members of the board for their pres ence and to extend them cordial invi- tation to the next meeting. This was done and John B. Rosenstihl accepted the invitation for the board. and at the same time thanked them for thei, con- alteration and the invitations

uNDULY ALARMED

Dr. Will M. Jordan advanced the opin- ion that the 'soft pedal' should be used by the newspapers and officials in dis cussing the typhoid situation.
 '.The present alarm over the typhoid situation is not justified" said Dr. Jor- dan, "and the soft pedal should be used by the officials and the newspapers in the matter. There is no epidemic at the present time and there is bound to be a certain amount of typhoid during the warm summer months. However, in my opinion. there is not enough typhoid at the present to dignify it as an epidemic.
 "Of course, the dry closets are men, ace and there should be law that would make it mandatory upon the property owner to remove them. Bad sanitation is one of the worst evils and it is directly the cause of typhoid. but at the same time I feel that we are unduly alarmed of the present situation"

about this discussion Of the tariff in
Congress is its relatively non-partisan
character. Some democratic members
Of the ways and means committee have
said that they do not believe the tariff
should be altered yet. while some Of
them openly favor protection for dye
stuffs and the repeal Of free sugar. Re-
publfcans mostly favor these two latter
measures, and, without being definite as
yet. say that the schedules should be
revised.
The intelligence Of the American peo-
pie has awakened to the fact that the
tariff should not be an exclusively politi-
cal issue, but that 1t ought also to be
the subject Of scientific study. As a
means toward this end. the coming to-
gether of the partisan political thought
in favor Of some form of tariff commission
is generally welcomed in all parts Of the
country and by men of all shades Of po-
litical opinion. with perhaps the excep-
tons OF the extreme high protectionists
and the extreme free traders. There is
great reason to hope that tariff condi-
tons in the future will be better than
they have been in the past because of
the greater intelligence which will be
brought to bear upon the solution of
tariff problems.
