CITY WILL FIGHT THE
 |. T|DEWATER MERGER
Cases Pending in Courts Yet Undecided and May
 Change Situation

The nature of the fight that the city will make to prevent the absorption of the Tidewater by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company will be largely determined by the out come of two eases now awaiting de- cisions. At present the city has in- junction proceedings in the circuit court which seek to enioin the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power company from taking over the com peting line without the consent of the city.
 Judge w L Grubb of the United States district court has never given his ruling on the petition of the city, asking that he reconsider his action in allowing the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company to be sub ststuted as purchaser of the Tidewater instead of J. D. Kirkpatrick His de- cision was withheld until the supreme court handed down it's opinion. Now that the supreme tribunal has acted, an early answer is expected to be re- ceived from Judge Grubb.
 City Attorney Ullman announced yesterday that the city would re- quest decision from the circuit court within the next 10 days. If this is fa- vorable to the city. further litigation on the part of the commission may bG unnecessary.
 But should both courts rule against the city, it is understood that the com mission will not. rest in it's efforts to prevent the merger of the two trac- tion companies.

LIQUOR BUSINESS
 WILL SHIFT AGAIN Tennessee Anti-Storage Law Will Cause Birmingham People to Order From
 Other Points

Chattanooga is about to lose it's spor on the map.
 The eyes of the thirsty horde of Birmingham and Alabama are ready to shift from the northward to the southwest and southeast. For, when the signature of Governor Rye is signed to a measure that has been passed by the Tennessee legislature prohibiting the storing of liquor in the state. the Chattanooga and Mem phis wholesale liquor houses will be forced to stop sending thousands of packages monthly to Birmingham.
 The law making Tennessee "dry as a bone" will not reduce Alabama to that condition The trade will shift from Chattanooga to New Orleans and Jack sonville. As to how much money this will divert from Tennessee to the oth- CT moist centers there is much spec ulation. Birmingham has contributed considerable sum to whisky houses in Chattanooga. for it is considerably closer to that point than New Orleans or Jacksonville, and has thrown most of it's trade to Chattanooga
 The law, having been passed by both houses of the Tennessee legislature, will become effective as soon as Gov ernor Rye signs 1t. He is expected to attach his signature to it today.

PAYMENT OF POLL
 TAX IS VERY SLOW Less Than 4OOO Persons Have Qualified as Voters
 in the County

The payment of poll taxes for 1916 is far below the average up to this time, according to the statement of Tax Collector Phil Bowers. Less than 4000 out of possible 15,000 persons Liable have paid the tax, and with only Il days more in which payment can be made, indications are the collection will be light. Tax Collector Bowers
 urges those who intend to pay to do so at one in order to avoid the usual eleventh hour rush.
 Although there is no policial cam paign on at this time it was suggested
 that the election of city commissioners
 will take place in the fall and all who fail to qualify by paying their poll
 tax by the first of the month will be debarred from participating. There are several other important elections dur
 ing the year.
 The payment of poll taxes cane be
 made at the courthouse at any time
 during the office hours, and there is Ialso a deputy collector at Bessemer.

COTTON IS SUBJECT
 ID TAXATION AT TER
 ONE YEAR HOLDING
Attorney Generals Opinion Is Creating Much Inter- est Among Farmers
 Not Forced to Sell

Montgomery January 1e.-(Special)
 Great interest is being manifested in
 new ruling of the attorney generals de- rartment which provides that cotton pro-
 duced in Alabama is exempt from taxa
 tion only l2 months from the time of
 production, and is proper subject of | taxation after that time It had been
 thought that the legislature in 1915 had
 made a provision whereby cotton would
 not be taxable while in the hands of the producer and Joseph P Mudd. former as-
 sistant attorney general. had so held
 but William L. Martin, attorney general, in his ruling recalled the conclusion of
 Mr.. Mudd
 Cotton which was produced by Alabama farmers last year will be subject to taxa
 tion October l. 1917. The issue came up
 when M. c. Allgood. state auditor, asked
 the attorney general whether or not cot
 ton stored in warehouse is subject to taxation and the attorney general, after setting out the provision relating to ex- emptions on cotton, said:
 Tn this provision it seems clear that | cotton is exempt from taxation when in the hands Of the producer or in the hands of the purchaser purchasing the same for prompt shipment. It is clear, also. | that this exemption expires 12 months after the production of the cotton. It results that cotton produced more than F
 months prior to October l of any year 1 is subject to taxation for the tax year beginning October 1.

resent struggle bears upon the dead
ly question-shall Prussian Imper-
ialism prevade the earth or not?
These who favor Kaiserism natur-
ally do not favor our Red Cross and
our home guard movements. That
is to be expected. The rallying of
the Home Guard of our townsmen
indicates that we have men among
us who think, as we'll as thoughtful

The organization of the Red Cross
and Home Guard has met with
splendid enthusiasm. Both these
bodies are greatly needed at the pre-
sent time. The Red Cross in every
sense an institution of mercy. II
was born in a motherly woman's
heart, and it appeals to every wo-
manly, patriotic woman. 1t has no
object but the alienation of suffer-
ing and the assistance of the govern
lnent in time when such assistance
is vital to the governments success.
1t has, however, a bearing upon the
tax question. Insofar as the noble
women of our land lend their need
les to this cause in that degree will
taxes be lessened, for tn work done
by the Red Cross is work that would
otherwise have to be paid for out of
the national treasury.
There is also a sentiment side to
the Red Gross work that some may
overlook. Our men at the front may
eel toward the tremendous size OF
our organized army that it is a great
,oulless machine. But with the Red
Cross work it is altogether different.
Every bandage, every garment that
is made by this great and unselfish
band of women is a reminder that
they are fighting for more than a
colossal political organization. The
Red Gross work brings to the boys
at the front the thought that their
'isks and sacrifices are for mothers,
wives and sweethearts. That they
are fighting for homes. For in no
particular can this great conflict be
styled war for the worthy. Its
