The measure will submit to the people
the question of selling s25,00o,o00 worth

the senate and house will consider the

fore the legislature. Under joint res
olution, originating in the senate before
noon, the two houses agreed that when
they adjourned Friday afternoon they
would adjourn until 10 o'clock Wednes'
day Another resolution, which was
adopted by each branch of the leg1s-
lature, provided for a committee of the
whole meeting on Tuesday.
The senate got through with its work
within thirty minutes after reconVenlns
Friday afternoon. The house did not
complete it's task, however, until a short
time before time for the trains to leave
the city, and many representatives were
anxious to go to their homes for the
week-en
The afternoon in the house was taken
up in hearing reports of the various
standing committees. The rules commit
tee reported that at least % bills for
special consideration on the 4th and 45th

for their demands at this time, said Mr..
Kennamer, land when this is adopted a
joint meeting of the central competitive
field which is made up of Ohio. Penn
sylvania and western Illinois, win be held
with the operators. This meeting is
scheduled for September Is, but if the
scale of demands has not been completed
the meeting will be postponed. While the
agreement reached between the central
competitive committee and the operators
of those states does not govern all dis
tricts it is a basis for them.
This is the most important convention
we have ever held, in my opinion, as
there are so many reconstruction matters
to be discussed and from reports coming,
in it is expected to be the largest. There
will in all probability be 1000 delegates
present, and we are looking forward to a
splendid meeting"

on the question of favorably reporting a

vided for nine-hour day.

operators, reducing the tax by three
fifths and that they continued to fight
in the senate and back here.
In answer to Judge Van de CRAFTS
question Judge Murphree, admitting
he did not believe in privilege taxes,
said he advocated the tonnage tax be-
cause majority of the legislature
wanted it. He declined to say who
originated the tonnage tax.
He denied the right of the confer
ence committee to go into the tonnage
tax sections merely because of amend
ments, relating to basis of weights
and exemptions of wagon mines.
The burden Of his 60-minutes speech
was the coal barons" of Alabama and
their alleged determination to defeat
the revenue bill unless the tonnagCbe
eliminated
At the conclusion of his speech, Judge
Murphree moved the previous question
and Mr.. Lynne in the chair, proceeded
to put the question, objections of OPP
ponents of the measure who had not
been heard.
Judge Murphree, however, agreed to
withdraw his motion in favor of Mr.. Ar
mold of Jefferson, who was a member
of the last conference committee.
WITHDRAWS MOTION
At 1s,o'clock the house, on motion of
Mr.. Alexander of Perry, voted 40 to SO
to remain in session until the revenue
bill is disposed of, whereupon Judge
Murphree withdrew his motion for the
previous question.
Mr.. Alexander, then discussing the
bill, said he voted against the tonnage
tax because he thought it was wrong
but since both houses had voted for it,
he yielded to the majority opinion.
| Mr.. Arnold of Jefferson, member of
the last conference committee, said the
| legislature was going at the revenue bill
| in an unusual way, that majority of
| the members must give way to the will
| of the administration. Referring to the
| statement of Judge Murphree that the
conference committee had no right to
consider the tonnage tax, Mr.. Arnold
called attention to the statement of
| Speaker Merritt in his speech last Tues
| day in which he said he had appointed a
representative of the coal and iron inter-
ests on each of the conference commit
| tees, and yet, he said, he is called a
traitor because he dared to speak for

SAME MACHINERY OFFERED

Analysing the governors promise
contained in the letter to Speaker Mer-
rift, Judge Smith declared that the
same old taxing machinery of the orig
inal bill, with different colorings, was
offered. He said the passage of the PEN
ding revenue bill was not essential to
the appropriations that would be neces-
sary to keep the states institutions
going.
Referring to the threat of an extra ses-
sion of the legislature, said if the legis-
lature does the right thing no extra ses-
sion would be necessary. He said the
people did not want an autocratic power
over the taxing machinery of the state
MI Parker of Coosa ridiculed the pose
of some members as Watchdogs of the
treasury who had voted for every in
crease in salary and every appropriation
that had come up. He said everybody
was trying to make the other fellow pay
the taxes.
Judge Murphree of Etowah, chairman
of the recess budget committee respon-
sibe for the original revenue bill, chair
man of the first conference committee
and member Of the second conference
committee, congratulating the coal OPP
orators lobby on the effective work that
they had done and directly charged them
with the defeat Of the revenue bill if it
| is defeated
Replying to a question put by Judge
Van de Graft of Tuscaloosa, Judge
Murphree admitted that he did not be-
| lieve privilege taxes were proper taxes
| but the Legislature had decreed other
wise and that he did not insist on the
! lumber footage tax because he saw it
would not go through.
