Proposition to these taxes, like op- position to equalization or any other movement of the kind,sis opposition to our efforts to destroy illiteracy,' said the statement opposition to our ef- forts to afford a living wage to school teachers, opposition to our efforts 10 prevent the spread of communicable diseases and to preserve the public health; opposition to our efforts to properly care for the unfortunate boys and girls of the state; opposition to the effort which will be made for the care of the feeble minded people of the state; opposition to child welfare work, and opposition to general prog ress."
 The statement shows that the pro- posed tax on incomes is far below that now charged by the national govenn- ment On an income of 5000 only 5000 is taxed the total being SEQ The highest tax is s1920 on an income of $50.0
 TEXT OF STATEMENT
 The statement in full follows:
 I have noticed an organized move ment against the proposed income and excess profits taxes. I feel sure that the opposition which has developed against these taxes has grown out of a misapprehension as to the extent that such taxes are proposed to be ap- piled The heavy burden of federal taxes is doubtless responsible for the mi nlisapprehension. I am sure that the people responsible for the organization of opposition have not been advised of the details of the proposed laws, and ! believe that if they had been so ad- vised action would not have been taken against them. As a matter of fact, the troposed state taxes are merely nominal as compared with the national taxes of a similar nature. Below ara rates and amounts which would be pre- duced on incomes and excess profits:
 SCHEDULE OF RATES
 On income of ss0OO, exemption 5000; 5000 at per cent, $20.
 On income of s6000, exemption s2oC0 s4o00 at 215 per cent, s10O
 On income of s9000 exemption $2000; s7000 at per cent, $210
 On income of S12000, exemption s2ooo s1o.0oo. S1a per cent. s35o.
 On income of s25,00o, exemption s2ooo s23,o00 at per cent, s92o
 On income of s500O0 exemption s20oo s4S.o0O at 4 per cent s1920.
 EXCESS PROFITS
 Issuggested in my message a rate on excess profits of not less than per cent with exemptions similar to tue federal exemptions. Based on that

Troubles in d splendid reading and the presentation of "A Tampa Romance" by Miss Helen Tatum, was hugely enjoyed. Miss Pearl Merrell gave reading, ITO the Nurses which was immensely en- joyed by those who were present, and Miss Tatuin's recitation, Aunt Mime at the Circus,'' was great.
 The class prophecy was read by Miss Pearl Merrell. Fruit punch and an ice course was served amid the profusely decorated scenes in the dining room and the presentation of the diplomas was made by Dr.. lJere c. Watson in an ex- tremely interesting way. The diploma intended for Miss Mamie Heath was de- lvered to Mrs. Bradley separately by Dr. Watson and he paid a glowing and fitting tribute to the young woman whose end came during the influenza ep-
 demic last fall.
 The graduating cake bearing the ini- tials of the three girl graduates occupied a central place in the festivities and att tracted the maximum of attention.
 The three young women received many beautiful presents from their friends and admirers. and the graduation ceremonies featuring their class motto of Service proved itself to be feature event of the week.

AMOUNT INSIGNIFICANT

Do you not think S1S0 is a rather mod est net increase for business using $100,000 and earning $20,000 to stand as it's portion of a tax designed as a part of a plan to get our state out of debt and provide for the increased demands for public health work which the ex- perience of the war has shown to be so important, for the better care of the in sane, the feeble minded and other un- fortunate wards of the state; for voca tional education, for the wiping out of illiteracy, for child welfare work and for the many crying needs of the state and it's people that will take money to meet?
 The state is far behind other states in many respects. We are far down on the list of illiteracy; our educational institu- tions are suffering for funds to carry on their work the cost of which has been so greatly increased by the high cost of living, teachers by the score leav- ing the service because they cannot. live on the salaries paid them; we have done very little for the prevention of com municable diseases and the preservation os public health we have made but a small start in the building of good roads; our care of the unfortunate boys and girls of the state is thing to be ashamed of; we have done absolutely nothing in the way of caring for the feeble minded, and we have no start in child welfare work Alabama has a pop ulation of about 1000 feeble minded per- sons according to a conservative esti- mate of experts. The institutions we now have for the reformation of boys and girls are without adequate means for the work that should be done along these lines. Not only has the state been derelict in its duty to these various classes of unfortunate individuals, but it is actually living off the profits of the labor of another class of unfortunate people-the convcts. In view of all these distressing conditions. which are known to the people of the state, I am sur prised and very greatly disappointed that there should arise organized opposition

rate, with exemption of per cent on capital invested plus sS000, the tax on a business employing s1Oo,0oo and earning s20.OOO per year, would be as follows;
 Fixed exemption, sS00o; profit, s2o.- 900; per cent on capital invested, $S000, $11,000; to be taxed, $9000.
 al rate of , per cent, s450.
 Now, when it is remembered that the tax paid the state is an expense against the business, necessary part of the cost of doing business and deductible like any other tax or expense from the profits to be reported to the national govern ment for taxation, it is seem to be a matter of comparative insgnificance.
 For example in the case cited above if the s450 were not paid to the state, the amount of excess profits to be re- ported to the government for taxation would be increased just s450 on which the business would pay, say, 60 per cent, or S270. So that the net increase of the combined federal and state taxes would be the difference between s270 and s450, or s1S0 On profits above s20,O the rate will he increa Sed somewhat

William Unaware
Of Army Attitude
Before He Got Out

BERLIN, Aug. 12.-The Neue .Ber-
liner Zeitung publishes excerpts from
a lengthy description by Prince Max
|of Baden, former imperial German
chancellor, of "A telephone conversa-
tion he had with the then Emperor
or William. Nov. 8, 1918. The con-
versation lasted twenty minutes.
The kaiser was very violent and
frightfully unaware of the attitdue Of
the troops to him. says the descrip
ton. I'VE spoke of military expe-
dition against Berlin, but he refused
to listen to my recommendation that
he abdicate. He said that had the
general staff told Nov. s, as it did
Nov. 8, the truth about the army,
have no doubt that the kaiser would
have abdicated the evening of the
eighth.
Then it would in human calcula-
tions have been possible for the ma
jority of socialists to keep the work
ing men in the factories. Certainly
there would have been an uprising,
but only by the radical elements. The
troops in Berlin would have conducted
themselves more reliably.
'One of the most dangerous points
of contact between the rioting work
men and the soldiers was the fact that
the kaiser had not abdicated."
