LAST EPISODE OF "PATRIA" AT THE RIALTO

Today is shown at the Rialto the last episode of 'Patria." the greatest of all preparedness plays. The title of this. the fifteenth and last chapter, Is For the Flag"
 After a two-day battle the American troops under the leadership of Patria compeltely rout the Mexicans and Japa- nese under the leadership of Baron Huroki, who after learning of his defeat commits suicide
 The thrills and interest in this episode lie in the battle scenes. These are all pre- sented in a very thrilling and realistic atmosphere and no expense has been spared to make this final chapter one 10 be remembered. The very opening is fight, and fight it is until the close. Gepuine warfare expresses it's realism more clearly All the modern appliances tha { are used have been brought into action and an audience is treated to war as it really is The night scenes, cannons, de- molished buildings. hurrylng and scurry- ing of the two opposing armies are all mixed in and dished out to the photoplay fan in this last chapter. The last episode certainly has lived mp to all that was to be expected and the entire 15 chapters will go down in the history of motion pictures as a patriotic accomplishment.

1. $ N. MUSTPAYO ON ALL CAPITAL USED
 OPINION OF COURT

Montgomery April 26.-(Special)-Be- tween s30,0O0 and sS5, 600 will be added to the receipts of the state treasury each Montgomery circuit court Thursday which holds that the Louisville and Nash vile railroad must pay franchise taxes on all capital employed in it's operations in this state instead of on only that DOT tion of it's capital stock used in this state. The decision will affect the Louisville and Nashville, Central of Georgia, Nashville Chattanooga and St. Louis, Seaboard Air Line, Southern and Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroads and will mean an increase of $75, ,OOO, GOO in the franchise tax assessments of the railroads.
 Attorneys for the Louisville and Nash vile gave notice of appeal and it is prob able that the case will be fought through the United States supreme court Will liam L. Martin, attorney general brought the suit in behalf of the state board of equalization several months ago on the contention that the railroads heretofore had paid only on the actual amount of it's capital stock used in this state when the state said they should pay on that portion of their total capital actually en- ployed in opera tions in Alabama. In the past the Louisville and Nashville has paid franchise taxes on s19,000.0 .000 but Judge Gunter's decision will increase it to $43,- oeo0oo. If the decision Is upheld the Nash vile, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad will pay taxes on s2,000,o0o, the Central of Georgia on SS,000,000 the Seaboard Air Line on $3000,000, the Southern on $1700O,- 000 and the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad on S2,O00,000
 The franchise tax is based on tue rate of 40 cents for each 5000 of capital

Women Lose in Florida

that verdict might be. It is therefore estimated that before permanent verdict is established five years will elapse
 At the conclusion of the fifth year ! the manufacturers, by insisting on the fulfillment of existing contracts, will be enriched by the identical sum which the newspapers would have saved had the Heney agreement been permitted to stand. In round numbers, i that sum will approximate s25,000.000. If the manufacturers, after five years. are convited. what will the pun ishment be? One may read history with profit in answer
 It is said that since the operation of the sherman law there has been one fine imposed as large as $10,000, sew eral fines as large as s1000. many fines less than 5000. -n comparison with the s25000.000 saved, how would such fines effect the manufacturers? ONE JAIL SENTENCE Of course it is possible that the man. ufacturers will be ordered to the peni- tentiary Such a possibility is remote. MT. Heney told the correspondent of The Age-Herald that just one jail sen tence has been served for offenses in- volving the infringement of the Sher- man act. That sentence was not served by a malefactor of great wealth, or a manufacturer of great influence, or a man of well trained business intellect, It was served by New Orleans longshoreman. who. under mistaken impression, it is believed. entered q plea of guilty.
 While MT. Heney has not published his opinion, it is thought probable tha he will not at the present time permit his fear for the fate of the paper mar ufacturers to drive him to tears.
 COMITTEES FAUX PAS
 The committee appointed by the heads of American newspapers to con duct their fight against paper manu- lecturers and which, during the last several months aggressively "reso- Iuted" and made pungent remarks re- specting the freedom of the press . asked the Attorney General to permit the Heney agreement to stand.
 But the committee, previously, had "resoluted" It had expressed ap- proval of certain prosecutions which the government had undertaken in New York.
 So when the committee saw the At torney General. the Attorney General presented the committee with its own resolution. The committee, in conse- quence, was prostrated.

WHAT SHALL WE DO
WITH OUR PROSPERITY?

For two years we have had more
universal prosperity than any of us
living can recollent. Farmers have
raised good crops and farm prod
ucts have been a good price.
Laboring men have had money to
spend for food, clothes and furnl-
tare; railroads have had more busl-
ness; manufacturing war goods re-
ouire cotton and wool; munitions
require metals, and this stimulates
mineral production.
The average amount of money
that will be spent for farm products
in the next twelve months is estl-
mated to be more than thousand
dollars for each farm in the coun-
try.
What shall this money be spent
for? To pay off mortgages, to put
our men where they can pay cash.
And then what? More land to lie
idle? No. For plumbing, lighting
and water system in the home and
for a nice little trip off somewhere!
We hope so. Let us plan for 1t
