THINKS TAXES ARE
 COMING TOO FAST

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 am of the opinion that great many of the people of Jefferson county do not fully understand, nor realize. the amount of increased burden of taxation that is proposed to be fastened upon them.
 am reliably informed that the county board of revenue will be compelled this year to increase it's levy by one and half mills. This is made necessary on account of the added demands placed upon the county by the last legislature.
 Add to the above amount the six mills for school purposes, referred to recently in the columns of this paper by MT Hor- nady and myself, and you have total of seven and a half mills. or $7.50 per $l000 valuation increase in taxation This is the largest increase ever attempted in this county within short period, and will raise in added revenue about $1, 2SO, coo per annum. Won't our thoughtful citf- zens believe this is going it pretty strong ? The history of tax raises show when once fixed, they are rarely, if ever, low cred
 do not believe that the people of Jeff ferson county would object to reason ably raise in taxation for school pur- poses, but they do object to the large amount proposed, and it should be voted down. T. C. MDONALD.

plays I could in New York but also little later I had to get back to solid facts, because had to get my masters degree and some hard work was in store for me-, Professor Strode continued. Later offer came to me to become member of the faculty of the Syracuse university, which I accepted and spent most delightful period there. Besides teaching English and dramatic literature at Syracuse, I put on several plays, and as Syracuse is splendid theatre town saw some fine New York productions. I was frequently asked to write the criti- cism of play for the Syracuse news papers, one of the first being Fair and Warmer, which recently appeared in Bir- miDgham, and for which I predicted great success, which it has more than had, so you see was getting atmosphere and collecting data from every possible standpoint of theatrical life. In fact, this is quite necessary if one wants to be an actor, an interpretative reader, critic or a dramatist. As Rachel Brothers, whose Old Ladys 31' is one of the sea sons sensations on Broadway, said to me one evening at the British Imperial club: If you have any dramatic instinct and want to write plays the more you live in the atmosphere of the theatre, the more apt you are to succeed. DO every thing you can that will teach you any thing new about the work and any prac- tical experience is vastly helpful.
 At the University of Alabama I am giving courses of various kinds in dra- matic work said Professor Strode. "A survey course that takes up the history of the drama from the Greeks 800 years B. c. to the present day; a study of the technique of the modern plays, English, American and continental, and course in dramatic interpretation and play pro- duction. I discovered that many of the minor actors with Sir Johnston Forbes Robertson in his 1913-14 tour were Cam bridge and Oxford graduates; educated men, thoroughly familiar with the drama; the day is dawnng in America when such actors are demanded; not the barn storming variety, but well educated ac- tors. America is far ahead of England in the matter of stars for where has England produced a Mrs. Fiske, Mar garet Anglin, an Elsie Ferguson or a Maude Adams? But these are stars too little attention is paid to minor actors in play, and that is where the English excel, but each year now the eastern colleges are turning out actors, well edu- cated men, familiar with the drama and with dramatic art
