Bardeleben when he was before the

these were not reliable that they includ-
ed depreciation and other items that prop
erly should not be included.
I'VE have come to the conclusion that
this great wealth is not bearing it's share
of taxes" Mr.. Tompkins continued. IF
we are to believe these coal men the tina
has come when we must not only collect
any taxes from them but must vote them
a subsidy"
Mr.. Tompkins said he was assuming
his information was correct, but he be-
lieved it was as near correct as were
the statements made before the commit
tee by those who opposed the tonnage tax.
Representative John C. Arnold of JEFF

committee, John D. McNeel, collector
of internal revenue at Birming CHAM,
made an estimate of probable revenues
the state would collect under the in
come and excess profits provisions of
the revenue bill.
Mr. McNeel qualified his estimate by
saying that the amount collected next
year would depend on the amount of
the incomes in the state this year.
He could not estimate the aggregate
of incomes last year, nor did he give
any figures as TO collections, but told
the committee how to do it's own fig
uring. Under the proposed Alabarra
law individual incomes would pay n
tax about third of that paid to the
federal government and corporations.

Corporations paid the federal gov
eminent taxes amounting to about
SIS, 900 or $4,000 900 and indi-
viduals about s6,000.000 or s7000,00o
Taking this as basis it was esti-
mated that corporations would pay a
little over 100000 income tax and in
dividuals about $1,000, 900, making 81

means and appropriations committee
Of the house and the finance and TAX
alton committee of the senate today
Mr.. Tunstal called attention to tho
constitutional provision against She
state making appropriations for in
ternal improvements, the only excep-
ton being that relating to the Sums
realized from convict hire. The sec
ton of the constitution referred to by
Mr.. Tunstall reads as follows:
Section 80. The state shall not en-
gage in works of internal improve
ment- nor lend money or its credit in
all of such. nor shall the state be in
terested in any private or corporate in
terprise, or lend money or its credit
to any individual. association or cor
poration.
Section "a The legislature shall not
have power to authorize any county.
city, town or other subdivision of this
state to lend its credit, or grant pub
Benners. Mr.. Cliett and Mr. Tompkins
or to any Individual, association or
corporation whatsoever. or to become
a stockholder in any such corporation,
association or company by issuing
bonds or otherwise"
On motion of Representative Ben
ners, a committee. consisting of Mr.
Benners. Mr.. Cliett and Mr. Tompkins.
was named to investigate the law and
report back to the full committee.
The same committee will investigate
and report on the power of the lesis-
lature to deny municipalities the right
to levy and collect a license tax on
motor vehicles.
Section POI of the constitution reads:
The legislature shall not enact any
law which will permit any person,
firm. corporation or association to pay
a privilege, license, or other tax to
the state Of Alabama and relieve him
or it from the payment of all other
privilege and license taxes in the
state"
If the view held by some of the mem
bers of the committee is correct, the
entire highway system proposed in
bills now pending in the legislature
will torn down. If 1t be held that the
constitution prohibits the diversion of
the motor vehicle license tax to the
highway and bridge fund, thesproposeJ
highway bond issue of s25. 600, 900 must
be abandoned. or a new way of meet
ing the interest and providing a sink
ing fund. or the constitution amended
to meet the situation
1t is a serious situation that has
suddenly confronted the legislators
The special committee will make a
thorough examination of the law and
submit its report at the earliest pos
sible day.

NOT TAXED IN OTHER STATES

Mr.. Benners said no other state In the
union levies such tax Michigan
does not require a tax on ore shipped
out of the state. No state collects
tax on coal mined, except a small parr
of Pennsylvania. where small tax is
collected on anthracite.
Put this tax on coal and iron ore,
cents and 3 cents / cent or one-tenth
of cent, and no new mine will be
opened and some of those now in oper-
alton will be closed.
when tax is once put on an
article it never comes off. 1t becomes
a fixed policy of the state. Put this
| tax on and nobody will invest his
| money in Alabama coal or iron; no new
| furnaces will be built.
"The great wealth of the state is
developed in the mineral district, but
| this development will stop if this bur
1 den is placed on the district"
! Mr. Tompl<ins of Houston said every
| time A tax is proposed the legislature
| is met with the argument that Jeffer-
son will pay most of it. He deniei
/ that Jefferson county was supporting
the poorer counties of the state, as
| serting that the tax was on the assets
| of the state as a whole.
\ He said it doubtless was true that
! thousands of acres of mineral lands
were purchased for mere song and
| are owned by the original purchasers.
He said it Is realized now that the
government parted with its most vaiu-
able assets when it parted with title
| to it's mineral resources and he argued
| that the proposed tonnage tax is the
| only way the state will ever get any
| thing out of this property
He said he had read statements made
| by Judge Gary and Mr.. Schwab to the
| effect that iron and steel could be
made SO a ton cheaper in Alabama
than in Pennsylvania.
| Mr. Benners challenged this state
ment in so far as it relates to the
present time, saying that it is costing
more to make iron and steel in Ala
bama today than in Pittsburg. Gary
| and Chicago.
Mr.. Tompkins said it was his impress
sion that climatic conditions prevented
mining in Minnesota several months in
in the year, He argued that the coal and
! iron lands in Alabama didn't cost present
owners anything like their real value.
ARNOLD SPEAKS
| Mr. Arnold of jefferson county demand
ed that Mr. Tompkins produce proof to
substantiate his statements. Mr.. Tomp
kins countercharged that Mr.. Benners and
Mr. Arnold had offered no proof of the
things they talked about.
