il to the owner of unirnproved and prac-
tieally worthless property who offers 1t
rent free for a period of years in con-
sideration of certain improvements to be
made on it. He cited the cotton mills at
Lanett. which were built in Alabama by
resident of Georgia because Georgia
allowed no exemptions, and that the ex-
emptions having now expired these mills
pay $4,000 a year taxes, or 50 per cent
of the total taxes collected in Cham
bers county. whereas the two precincts
in which they are located paid practi-
cally no taxes before the building of the
mills.
SAME AS REPUTATION
Senator Acker said to repeal this ex-
empton, to his mind. would be the same
as Alabama repudiating her bonds. He
said he would be ashamed Of having
been member of the legislature If. il
should repeal the exemptions. The in
dustrial plants do not pay ali the taxes,
he said, but the improvements around
them paid much larger taxes. He said
offering exemptions was like batting a
trap for birds: it is not with a desire
to feed the birds, but to catch them.
He said the number of cotton mills in
Admission had increased from one to nine
after the exemption went into effect.
Senator Brown, of ST. Clair. said the
exemption was only on the machinery,
and he wanted the policy considered as
an inducement to new industries to come
in, but if there is to be change in pol.
icy he insisted that the state live UP to
the implied contracts.
Senator Espy, of Henry, offered an
amendment denying exemptions to In
dustries locating in the state subsequent
to the passage of the act. Speaking to
his amendment, he said he opposed ex-
emptions, but thought it advisable to
keep the contracts already made, but not
make any more.
Senator Craft. Of Mobile opposed the
amendment, saying he believed in en-
couraging capital and industry. The
school fund and the soldiers pension
fund come largely from taxes paid by
corporations. he said.
Senator Carmichael, OF Colbert, opposed
the Espy amendment, not, he said, be-
cause he was interested in shipbuilding
but because he was interested in water
power development, which would suffer
the same fate as the shipbuildng sec
ton He said the state had invited peo-
pie to invest here, that many had come
and others would come if given the In
ducements. He told of his calling on a
department at Washington after the
passage of the water power exemption
act of 1915 and assuring them that such
plant would be exempted from taxation
for ten years, and that a private corpo-
ration soon thereafter began develop
nent of water power on the Tennessee
river, and as a result of that nearly
S100,000.00o had been invested there. He
said there had been a $2,OO00O0 increase
in tax values, notwithstanding immense
quantities Of property acquired by the
government had been taken off the tax
books.
