COURT DECIDES
 ASSESSMENT CASE
Holds One Member of COun- ty Equalization Board
 Cannot Act Alone

Montgomery, January 6.-(Special) One member of a county board of equali- zation has no authority to make an as- sessment unless at least one other mem- Der agrees with him, according to the supreme court and as a result of this decision the Empire Mining company has lost it's case in the Jefferson circuit court and must pay taxes on a heavier assess ment than was agreed upon by one mem- Der.
 The company sought a writ of man damus requiring the Jefferson board or equalization to accept an assessment made by one member The board de- clined to sanction the assessment and made another one. The circuit court granted the writ, but the supreme court reversed the case, holding that one mem Der might make the investigation and recommend the assessment, but It would not be legal until another member had approved 1t.
 Many equalization cases brought in Jeff ferson county courts last year were won as a result of the decision, taxpayers agreeing that the Empire case would be test.

CLOSE TO AMERICA

eThe government of the United States. to which we are bound by the closetst ties, has during the past two years in cessantly formulated energetic protests and claims based on the most elemental principles of justice in defense of its citizens who were victims on many oc- casions of attacks by German subma- rines, of the liberty of the seas and the respect due the lives and properties of neutrals. and revindicating the right to navigate and engage in commerce freely, without restrictions, except those sanc- tioned by in ternational law by treaties and by the universal practice of civilized nations.
 "The German note of January 31, oem- onstrated that the hopes based on vari- ous promises made to the United States by Germany were absolutely worthless and in the face of such grave breach of faith the President of the United States declared a rupture of diplomatic relations solemnly announcing that un- justifiable acts of aggression by German submarines in accordance with the in conceivable note of January 31 would be considered an act of war. Since February 1, submarines have attacked and sunk without pity. Such acts of war with out quarter, directed against all nations to close down the worlds commerce and terrible penalties cannot be tolerated without accepting them as legitimate to- day and always
 CANNOT BE INDIFFERENT
 Cuba cannot appear indifferent to such violations which at any moment may be carried out at the cost of the lives and the interests of it's own citizens Nor can it without loss of dignity and decorum show indifference to the noble attitude assumed by the United States, to which we are bound by ties of gratitude and by treaties. Cuba cannot remain neutral in this supreme conflict because of neu- trality would compel it to treat alike all belligerents, denying them with equal vigor access to our ports and imposing other restrictions which are contrary to the sentiment of the Cuban people, and which inevitably in the end would re- suit in conflict with our friend and ally.

'The necessary men will be secured for the regular army and the National Guard by volunteering, as at present until in the judgment of the Presi- dent. resort to a selective draft is desirable. The additional forces, how ever, are to be raised by selective draft from men ranging in age from IS to 25 years. The quotas of the several states in all of these forces will be in proportion to their popula- tion.
 "This legislation makes no attempt to solve the question of a permanent military policy for the country, chief ly for the reason that in these anx ous and disordered times a clear view cannot be had of either or perma- nent military necessities or best mode of organizing proper military peace establishment The hope of the world is that when the European war is over arrangements will have beer made composing many of the ques- tions which have hitherto seemed to require the arming of the nations. and that in some ordered and just way tho peace of the world may be maintained by such co-operations of force among the great nations as may be neces- sary to maintain peace and freedom throughout the world.
 When these arrangements for permanent peace are made, we can determine our military needs and adapt our course of military prepar- ation to the genius of world organ ized forces of justice and democracy.
