Whereas, heretofore there was in
troduced in the house of this ieg1sla-
ture house bill No $50, known as the
revenue bill: and,
Whereas said house as a committee
of the whole spent two weeks read
iusting said bill and amending same
and thereupop reported it favorably;
and.
whereas said bill passed the house
and was sent to the senate and re-
ferred to the committee on finance and
taxation;
Whereas, said committee so far has
been unable to agree on said bill, and,
Whereas there is so much opposl-
ton to said bill that it seems almost
impossible to pass same;
Therefore, be it resolved by the sem
ate, the house concurring, that there be
appointed by the president of the SEN
ate five members of the senate and
there be appointed by the speaker of
the house five members of the house
which shall compose a committee of 10

SUBSTITUTE TO TAX
EXEMPTION Adopted

montgomery, September 3.-(SpeciaD
A substitute to the Jones soldier poll tax
exemption bill, which will submit to the
people the question of granting the veter-
ans of the recent war exemptions from
poll taxes until September 90, 1928 was
adopted by the house of representatives
on Wednesday by a vote of 70 to II. The
bill then was enacted by vote of rs to H.
Previous to the taking of the vote many
speeches were made. The probability of
negroes being permitted to vote, with
out payment of poll taxes, was empha-
sized by many, including Representative
Van de GRAF of Tuscaloosa county
The bill submits the question ofS chang
ing the constitution to the qualified vot-
ers of the state 1t will exemp from poll
tax payment all persons who served in
the war; and who were entitled to VOTE
before the war. This section takes care
of the negro vote, it is claimed.
With the enactment of the measure
Representative Jones won victory which
was developed almost overnight. % A
short time ago the house killed Sim
liar bill. and the following day voted to
reconsider the vote that killed it. This
placed the bill back on the calendar, and
it came up as a special order for the
forty-second legislative day.
The question will be submitted at the
general eelction in 1920.

TRUST MEASURE IS
ENACTED BY HOUSE
Measure Defines Trusts and
Combinations and Pro-
vide Penalties
By WILLIAM T.. GORMLEy

Montgomery, September 3.-(SpeciaD
Going on record as favoring stronger
laws against profiteering in Alabama,
the House Wednesday enacted the Lynne
bill, which defines trusts and combina-
tons.
In a message to the House several days
ago Governor Kilhy asked for the enact
ment of the bill. He called attention to
the state wide profiteering and hoard
ing and suggested that this bill would
have a tendency to stop some of this
practice.
Section one of the Lynne bill follows:
Section One-A trust is a combination
or agreement between corporations, firms
or persons. any two or more of them, for
the following purposes, and such trust is
hereby declared to be illegal and indict
able:
|. ITO create or carry out restrictions
in trade or to acquire monopoly, either
in interstate or interstate business or
commerce.
3 ITO limit or reduce the production o.
increase the price of merchandise or OF
any commodity.
8. ITO prevent competition in manufac-
purchasing of merchandise, produce or
any commodity.
4. ITO fix at any standard form figures.
whereby its price to the public or con-
sumer shall in any manner be controlled.
any article or commodity or merchandise,
produce or commerce intended for sale.
use or consumption in this state or else
where.
5. ITO make any agreement by which
they directly indirectly preclude free
and unrestricted competition among
themselves or any purchasers or con-
sumers in the sale or transportation OF
any article commodity. either by pool
ing, Withholding from the market or SELL
ing at fixed price or in any other man
ner by which the price might be af-
fected."
Persons guilty of violation are subject
to heavy fine or sentence. There was
no argument on the bill.

High Lights in Yesterdays
Session of the Legislature
by w. j. BOLES

Montgomery, September 3-(SpeciaD-
Another effort was made in the legisla-
ture of Alabama on Wednesday to en-
large the powers of the Alabama pub
lie service commission, so that it can
have jurisdiction over all utilities now
operating under contracts in municipal
tiles This time the 4 measure was
started in the senate 1t was introduced
by Senator Acker, by request
The bill would amend the law now
governing the commission, making it
have the authority to control all the
utilities in cities of the state The
amendment however, excludes con-
Germs that are being operated by mu-
inequalities
This is the third attempt to enlarge
the commissions powers. The first bill
would have changed the name of the
ries and granted additional power. The
house Indefinitely postponed action on
the bill. Then roilowed a similar bill.
1t got as far as the committee and was
unofficially reported to have been plac-
ed on the adverse calendar. However,
an adverse report was never made. and
now the bill is being allowed to die
in the pigeon hole of some representa-
tive's desk. The senate bill will now
take the place of the last house bill.
Claiming that the language of the
Rogers woman suffrage resolution
killed by the senate by a vote of IS to
10 on Tuesday, did not conform to the
requirements, Alabama suffragists have
started another campaign for ratifica-
ton of the Susan b. Anthony amend
ment Wednesday. About the same time
Senator Evins introduced a senate res
olution which will have the effect of
putting to sleep the suffrage amend
ment.
The resolution went to the committee
on rules. Suffragists claim that the re-
Jected Rogers resolution did not use
the correct and proper language and
that it can yet be brought up. In fact a
campaign for ratification was continued
in the two houses on Wednesday. Many
women lobbyists were in attendance at
the sessions for the two houses on
Wednesday.
Accepting the recommendation of the
chlef executive of Alabama, the house
Wednesday struck out Section 10 of the
Dill relating to the protection of oyster

today advised Mr.. Wilson that the for
eign relations committees hearings on
those questions were useless because.
he said the committee does not intend to
report any amendments or reservations
to the treaty which have been asked in
that respect.
The Presidents treaty discussions on
his trip are expected to evoke prompt ru-
plies from republicans in the Senate.
The final step of committee action
consideration of resolution of ratifica-
ton with reservations-is planned for
Friday, and submission of the treaty for
open Senate debate is to follow as soon
as possible-
In the negotiations of the republican
factions on reservations the present
stumbling block is said to be on reser-
vatIon affecting Article 10 with its for
eign territorial guarantees.
The tentative reservation said 70 have
been drawn by senators demanding
strong reservations is understood to
declare emphatically that the United
States will not and refuses" to IN
dertake obligations of these territorial
guarantees in advance of specific action
by Congress as required by the constitu-
ton.
Those favoring more moderate res
ervation are said to be urging instead
that it declare the limitations of Con-
greSs, under the constitution, without
making blunt denals.
The three reservations on which the
radical and moderate republican groups
are said now to have reached an agree
ment are said to propose to declare that
the United States shall be the sole in
terpreter of the Monroe doctrine, shall
decide all domestic policies, such as tariff
and immigration, without Intervention
by the league and upon deciding, without
judgment of the league, that national
Obligations have been fulfilled, shall be
privileged to withdraw from the league
upon notice.

For the remaining legislative days the

House Considers Suffrage
BY WIN. L. GoRMLEY

Montgomery, September 3.-(Sre-
cia1)-Woman suffrage was before
the house of representatives on We'd
nesday for a short time.
Along with other senate messages,
resolutions and bills came the Evins
resolution. which would place the
house and senate on record as being
opposed to the ratification of the So
called Susan B. Anthony suffrage
amendment to the federal constitution
The senate on Tuesday, after it had
killed the Rogers ratification resolti-
ton. adopted the Evins resolution, and
it came to the house Wednesday with
out engrossment.
Galleries of the house were crowded
with advocates of the amendment 10
the federal constitution. There were
many women also in the galleries who
have worked hard against ratification
by the Alabama legislature
1t appeared that vote was to be
taken on the Evins resolution when IL
was suggested that the required five
calendar days notice had not been
given to take it up. The rule re-
curing five days notice, was adopted
several weeks ago,
The resolution went to the commit
tee on rules and Representative Tun-
stall of Hale county made written
notice that he would call it up for
passage al the end or the five days
The house at that time will have its
first opportunity to take vote on
the question of granting women the
ballot The senate for the second tina
on Tuesday defeated ratification, but
the matter has never been before the
house for direct vote
Alabama corporations are opposing the
ratification of the suffrage amendment
Senator Leith of Walker county, candi-
date for governor in 1920. said in his
speech in favor of ratification. The
Walker county senator believes the cor
porations fear to give women the right
to vote. believing that conditions around
the corporations plants will be made
better.

the bill back to the house with the
statement he could not approve it with
Section 10. which provided for an APP
preparation of $50 monthly for the pay
ment of a stenographer for the depart
ment of conservation. With this section
eliminated the governor promised to
sign the bill. The house voted to strike
the section from the bill. The house
sustained the governors vote of the To-
cal road bill for st. Clair county, which
had not been properly advertised be-
fore presentation to the Legislature. The
bill was by Mr.. Crump of st. Clair
county.
The Craft bill, which submits to the
people of Alabama the question of
changing the constitution so that the
state can assist in the improvement of
the harbor at Mobile, was enacted in
the Senate Senators Ellis and Prest-
wood spoke against the bill, while
Messrs. Craft, West and Brisco led the
fight for enactment.
The goat" bill of Representative
Ross relating to goats running at large
in Jefferson county, also was enacted.
This was house bill and will now go

was introduced. ~
The senate bill of Senator Watt
Brown of st. Clair county, which pro-
vides for the regulation of optometry
and creates the board of optometry,
was enacted Wednesday after consid-
cradle argument. Many senators said
the bill would provide the relief that
is necessary in the state and that it
would protect the citizenship.
Favorable report on bill, which pro-
vides for the submission of an amend
ment to the voters of Alabama, so that
Birmingham. Mobile. Selma, Huntsville,
Sheffield. and Admission may increase
their tax rate, was made to the SEN
ate Wednesday. The bill will go on the
calendar for the next legislative day.
The senate refused to reconsider the
vote that killed the bill which would
have permitted soldiers, who practiced
medicine in the army to practice the
same without license. The reconsidera-
ton motion was made by Senator Phil
lips. , The lieutenant governor, who is
presiding officer of the senate, was
called upon to cast the deciding vote,
and he voted against reconsideration.
The vote was IL to IL before the lieu
tenant governor voted.

cial.)-The state senate has concurred
in the house amendments to the bill
increasing the salaries of members of
the court of appeals. The senate made
the salary of each member $500, but

Attention of the opposition of Alabama
corporations to ratification was called
by Mrs. Scion Jacobs, active suffragist
of Birmingham, on Wednesday. Mrs
Jacobs said she had seen that the cor
porations were opposing the measure,
but she could not account for such op-
position.
Women of Alabama, believing that rat
fication is not possible during the 1919
season of the legislature, will carry their
case to the voters of Alabama. At the
ueXt general election they intend to
make this an issue in the campaign, and
they are convinced that the majority of
the voters, once. they are educated along
lines they now oppose, the measure will
change their ideas of woman's right to
vote.

chair. Speaker Merritt resumed discus
sion of the motion to concur in the
senate amendments to the revenue bill
He said he believed majority of the
house members wanted to pass a reVe-
nue. bill, but he believed it might be
best to appoint another conference
committee and see if something can't be
agreed upon that will result in the
passage of a revenue bill.
He was most conciliatory, admitting
that he could not get bill that would
be entirely satisfactory to him, put
he thought this course the best under
the circumstances.
He withdrew his motion to concur
coupling with it a motion to ask for
another conference committee.
There was considerable sentiment in
favor of the house going into commit
tee of the whole to consider the
senate amendments, agree upon such as
were acceptable and refer the others to
a conference committee.
The house allowed Speaker Merritt
to withdraw his motion whereupon he
moved that a new conference commit
tee be appointed and the motion was
adopted
At the afternoon session of the sem
ate the request for a conference COM
mittee was made and Senators Acker
of Calhoun. Evins of Hale and Moore OIL
Perry were named as the senate con-
ferees.
Later Speaker Merritt appointed Rep
resentatives Murphree of Etowah ana

Judge Murphree was member of the
