is a condemned practice, according to George N. Kellar, sales manager of the local Standard Oil branch. The danger in the method is in the development of static electricity, the spark jumping from the funnel to the metal container. The fire yesterday morning was prob ably caused by this means
 Just as he finished filling the tank, Pickles noted flames squirting from the funnel. Explosion of the gas tank fol- lowed in a few seconds and Pickles was engulfed in flames.
 Grabbing a comforter nearby, he rolled himself up in it and then flung himself to the ground. He finally succeeded in smothering out the blaze ! on his body but not until after his right arm and leg had been severely injured. He was later moved to the St. Luke infirmary, where he is being cared for
 Flames spread quickly to the frame ! garage in which the machine was To- cated and it was soon leveled by the l furnace. A 50-gallon gasoline tank within only served to add to the in- l tensity of the blaze. The automobile, | garage and all contents were totally 1 destroyed.

 BURSTS INTOF FLAME

Caught by flames when the gasoline tank of a Chevrolet automobile ex- ploded at St. Luke's home, Arthur Pickles, an employe of the home, sus- tained serious though not fatal burns on the right side of his body at z o'clock yesterday morning. That he was not incinerated is due solely to his presence of mind. The automobile and garage in which it was stored, to- gether with several other articles stored in the garage, were totally de- stroyed, the loss being estimated at s1.000.
 Pickles had been filling the gasoline tank of the automobile just before the explosion. He had strained the gaso- line through chamois, a method used by some to strain water and other i'm lurities out of the fluid but recognized IS a dangerous practice. In fact, this

There are two tastes in tea: the tea-taste and the tannin-taste. When you make your tea, the tea taste develops first; the tannin after 1t.
 Common tea, ,madefrom the older leaves of the tea plant, has a low-grade of tea-taste, and even that is quickly smothered by the tannin.
 Fine tea, made from young tender leaves, has an abundance of rich real tea-taste, which develops in the cup, before the tan min gets started. Very little tannin in fine tea.
 Schilling Tea is the fine practical economical tea of this country.
 There are four havors of Schilling Tea-Japan, Ceylon India, Oolong, English Breakfast All one quality. In parchmyn-lined moisture proof packages. At grocers everywhere.

FAYETTE MAN
 RESENTS WRONGS
 OF REVENUE BILL
To the Editor of The Age-H Herald

To the Editor of The Age -Herald:
 I want to congratulate you on your cedrage in publishing your editorial in The Age Herald of even date. I in- dorse every word you said, and am proud the state of Alabama has one man on the editorial staff that has enough courage to stand out for right against the erroneous members of thee legislature of Alabama now in ses- sion.
 We need more men like you to come out and speak for right fearlessly. T regard the proposed revenue bill now before the legislature to be an out 7 rage on the rights of the people of the ate~of Alabama, and the most un- democratic measure ever tried to be run over the people. If this meas ure in it's present form is passed it Will not only be an unjust and un- reasonable burden on the people of the state, but it will hurt the democratic party worse than anything that has happened to it since it's organization. If this bill is passed it will show that our legislators have departed from the faith of true democracy and gone into socialism. I have heard some of the very best democrats say if this bill is forced on the peo- pie of Alabama they will quit the party. I know the state needs more money, but let it get'-it the right way. Let every taxpayer bear his pro rata of the burden. and not let few bear the burden of the state debt There are plenty of ways to go at this thing, and I see no reason in not doing so. If there is need of more revenue it can be raised by increasing the assessed valuations.
 I have never been able to see why, if the state is in such need of money, the legislature does not raise the valu- ation to 75, 80, 90 or 100 per cent if necessary, and then every taxpayer will pay according to his worth. Un- der the proposed bill there will be numbers of large land owners, who will not pay cent toward the state debt, and, many smal business men that are not worth one-fifth as much debt, and many small business men states taxes. This is not right. and all right thinking men know it is so If our representatives will persistent ly run over the wishes and rights of the people, they need not expect any thing but severe criticism, which will be justly due them. Respectfully yours. W. A. DODSON.

For the Good of
 the Community

MUCH has been said at Montgomery
 the last two or three weeks during the discussions over the general revenue bill about the ad valorum tax on mineral lands being inadequate and unfair to the state.
 Ithas been agreed that mining the coal and iron ore depleted the land of it's re- sources and made it practically valueless
 Much also was said about Minnesota and Michigan iron ore and of supposed tax levied and collected on these ores While great deal has been said on this subject, comparatively little of it was ! based on facts.
 It now transpires that undeveloped ore lands in those two states pay very little taxes, in fact, they are listed as wild lands and carry a nominal valuation Just as wild lands, that is lands not under culti- vation of supposed to have any particular value are assessed according to that value.
 In Michigan ore lands located off trans portation lines pay only small tax, but when developed and transportation made available the valuation is increased in pro- portion to the value of the minerals. They pay only an ad valorum tax
 In Alabama the minerals have been taken into consideration in fixing the val ue of the land, regardless of whether any mines had been opened or not. That means that the owner of the mineral pays taxes on the mineral itself, every year. In the course of few years even at a low valuation the annual tax paid amounts up to considerable sum. For instance, the average value of lands in Jefferson county is little over S66 an acre, taking the actual number of surface acres. At 6h mills the owner, therefore pays S4.29 tax on each acre he owns. This is the aver age for the entire county. Thousands of
  that it must be assumed, and it is fact that some of the lands are assessed at sev- eral times S66 an acre.
 But at an annual tax of $429 an acre, which is 61s mills on S66-in ten years the owner will have paid into the state trea- sury S42.90, and in twenty years S85.80, in the way of taxes on each acre he owns.
 During this period of ten or twenty years he has also been out of the use of, the money invested in the land, the interest on which amounts to considerable sum.
 Then when the work of developing the mieral lands begins larger sums of mon ey are invested on which taxes are paid. Not only are taxes paid on the investment
