From the Houston Post.
 6T1HE returns from the Ninth Alabama
 congressional district show that
 Representative George Huddlestcn has been renominated for Congress by a large majority, despite the exceedingly sharp telegram from President Wilson to Editor Glass of the Birmingham News. declaring the congressman to have been an opponent of the administration in all matters pertaining to the war.
 Every influential newspaper in the dis trict. including the three important dailies of Birmingham, were vigorous in their opposition to the congressman.
 The President 3ks thus far declared against MT. Slayden of Texas, causing him to withdraw his candidacy: MT. Hud- dleston, who was renominated; MT. Len root of Wisconsin. who was elected to the Senate. and Senators vardaman of Mis- sissippi and Hardwick of Georgia, whose contests are not yet decided.
 The declarations against Slayden, Hud- dleston and Hardwick were obtained. ap- parently, by prominent journalists. In all the insta nces. the Presidents inter- vention was solicited. leaving us to in- fer that but for such solicitation the President would have remained silent.
 Why is it that men persist in nagg ing the President into personal intervention in these local political contests, when OK perience has 90 often shown the folly of it?
 Is 1t fair to the President to have his prestige in a time like this impaired by such rebukes as that which MT. Hud. dleston's renomination implies?
 Have these distinguished journalists never studied the psychology of politics enough to know that invoking a great extraneous prestige like that of the Pres. ident against one striving for local ot- flee creates sympathy in numerous eases

Girls Make Good

Some idea of the way m which the war has changed conditions here can be gained from our bookkeeping depart mingham Trust and Savings company. We have 2 young women doing the work formerly done by p boys, who are now in various branches of the service. find that these young women adapt themselves admirably to banking duties and stand tho confinement really better than men.

 Deterioration of Growing Cotton
 "Whea the governments June cotton report was issued showing an unusually high condition of the crop, I remarked that many things might happen to r1t down she big estimate, 15, ,325,0 900 bales, said Columbus Teacher, "and things have happened.
 "The deterioration is fact that all cot '. ton traders are now reckoning with. One of the most conservative forecasters now estimates the crop at only 12.9oo,0oO bales. The dalnag has been chiefly in Texas and Oklahoma. and is the result of pro- longed drouth.
 T am glad to learn that the crop in Alabama is in good condition. Provi- dence has been kind to the cotton farm CTS, especially those in the northern part of the state. The Alabama acreage is not as large as it used to pe. but we will have crop of probably between 700 ,coo and S0o.Oc0 bales; certainly 8 very much larger crop than last year or the year before"

$4,000 TAX ON
WILSON'S SALARY
War Revenue Tax Trainers
Also Include Judiciary
and State Officers
SUPREME COURT
IT'S OWN JUDGES

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-President
Wilson will have TO pay tax Of little
more than $4,000 next year on his
salary Of $4,000.
The ways and means committee OF
the House has decided TO extend the
income tax TO include the President,
the Justices Of the Supreme Court, all
the Judiciary throughout the country,
and State officials. Under the existing
law they are exempt from the income
tax. The committee also retained the
provision in the present law taxing the
Incomes of Senators and Representa-
tives.
The Supreme Court Justices soon
will be placed in the peculiar position
Of having to decide whether their own
salaries shall be taxed Chairman
Kitchin, OF the ways and means COM
mittee, In annoL.cing that 10 had de-
cided to include a provision in the new
war revenue bill taxing
the salaries Of Judges and State offl-
clals, said the committee does not be-
lleve such a tax would be colstitu-
tional snd that It Will have TO be test
ed in the Supreme Court
The Federal constitution, he said,
provides that the salaries Of Judges
shall not be increased or diminished
during their terms Of office, and taxa
tlon has been construed in minor court
decisions as diminishing salaries. In
the case Of State officials, including
the State judiciary he said, courts have
held that the Federal Government has
no right TO tax their salaries, as such
a form OF taxation tends to disturb
the dual system Of government in the
United States, placing a weapon in the
hands Of the Federsl Government that
might be used TO the disadvantage Of
the States.
The ways and means committee also
decided to include vnJ interest from
state. county am municipal bonds,
hereafter issued. except those issued TO
meet existing indebtedness, in lndivi-
1ual and corporation incomes subject
10 taxation.
The committee also decided TO in
,lude, as part Of the gross estate, the
of insurance policies in eX-
,ess OF $4,000 IN levying the inherl- |
aace tax. This was done, said Mr.. Kit !
hin, TO prevent persons from convert !
ng their estates into large insurance |
policies and thus escaping the inheri- |
.anoe tax.
The committee has not yet completed |
ts new schedule Of sur taxes on in
zones. said Mr.. Kltchin. In estimating
he tax President Wilson Will have to
pay, however, the increased sur tax was
included. he said.
The committee included the Presi-
dent. the Judges and State officials In
the new income tax provision, he
avowed, because the members OF the
committee do not believe that any one
should be exempt from the income tax

Why Must I Use Only 2 Pounds
of Sugar a Month

l. Our great war-program has
reduced our sugar-carrying feet,
2. The sugar requirements Of
our overseas army are very large.
3. Our own sugar-crop is less
than we expected.
4. The small island, Cuba, must
feed the world with sugar.
5. We have diverted $4,000 tons
of sugar shipping, in order that
Belgium should have food.
6. Germans have destroyed sug-
ar-beet fields and factories in
northern France and Italy.
Z. More than 50,000,000 pounds
of sugar have been sunk off our
shores by German submarines.
