well of Mobile, who is deeply inter- ested in the matter. says the propo- sition is founded on a sound financial basis and is fsr-rea ching in import ance to the owners of cut-over Ian Is in Alabama. of which there are about 15, 000 000 acres
 He says the passage of the Craft oil will give the owners of these lands the privilege to develop them into farming and stock raising farms at normal cost. He says under the priv ileges granted by this bill the values of the cut-over lands can and in many cases will be increased to something like S1O0 an acre, whereas they are now valued at only few dollars.
 The bill provides that stump and land clearing districts may be establish al by election ordered by the probate judges on petition of lawnowners; au- thority to issue bonds will be given and a tax levied to take care of the bonds.

 She Realized It,
 She Says
GAVE THEM LUNG-VITA

Two of my children were sick with whooping cough at the same time says Mrs. M. b. Gaits, POP 6Sth Place, (Woodlawn) Birmingham, Ala. The paroxysms were very severe, and had to be up with them frequently as many as a dozen times at night"
 Nothing I was able to do for them helped them till I triai Lung-Vita. It was almost magical in it's effects right from the start, and almost before I realized it they were free of the dis ease.'
 Lung-Vita is also an excellent remedy for stubborn coughs, colds, asthma, and bronchial troubles. It is a compound of barks, tops, leaves, and medicinal oils, and is entirely free from morphine, opium, herion, or other narcotics. It is perfectly safe for anyone to use.

PLEDGED TO ENDORSEMENT

Senator Morris of Dale said three fourths of the members of the legislature came here pladgcd to abolish the equali- zation boards and that Governor >ilby in his platform promised to abolish the state, equalization board. and that they are now attempting merely to change the name and increasing the number of off, cials.
 Senator Tally of Jackson offered an amendment authorizing the county asses sor to secure an accurate description of land and add the cost thereof to the tax upon failure of the owner to furnish de- scription within 90 days from demand. It was adopted
 Senator Tally also offered an amend ment providing for appointment Of mem- bers of district tax courts by the circuit courts as provided in the original draft of the revenue bill, upon failure Of the judge to make such appointment within so days from passage of this act the governor is authorized to appoint.
 Senator Prestwood of Covington op- posed the Acker amendment, contending that the machinery in the bill passed by the house is better than that pro- posed by the amendment.
 Senator Morris of Dale offered an amendment striking out the entire chap ter on district tax courts and giving tax payers the right of appeal from tax ap- praisers to the circuit court where jury trial is assured.
 Senator Acker opposed the Morris amendment, reciting an instance in which taxpayers in a certain county were or ganized to prevent any advance in val uations of property, and that the costs of trials in the circuit court several times exceeded the amount of taxes involved

 Senator Rogers of Sumter, replying to Senator Ellis, said he believed the friends Of the measure might agree to an amendment giving the right of trial by jury. He defended the dis trict tax court, saying a lot of mis- formation had been circulated about it; that the impression had gone olt that the court would be composed If lawyers, which he said was not the case; that the district courts would in reality be a jury of citizens to pass

 Senator Beaie of Tuscaloosa said the best machinery possible is necessary, and expressed the belief that special and privilege taxes could be avoided if prop erty values were properly and equitaoly adjusted, but that all efforts in the past to create the machinery for making such adpjustment had been defeated. He charged that the proposed income and tonnage tax was due to prejudices aroused among the people of the state by persons or interests seeking to escape just taxation, or who are trying to gain some political adVantage

REGULAR ORDER URGED

Senator Evins of Hale said the subjects of the bill should be taken up in their logical order that his vote on the ma chinery would be governed by the other provisions of the bill that if unfortunate ly, the income and tonnage sections are incorporated, this additional machinery will not be needed He said at this time he would vote asainst the pending amendment.
 Senator Briscoe of Chambers, assert ing that the machinery had nothing tc do with the income and tonnage tax, said he could see no reason for deferring ac ton. He said the income and tonnage tax were minor matters, while the ma chinery is the biggest thing in it.
 Senator Carmichael of Colbert, advocat ing the proposed machinery, said it was the only way to get the proper at valorem tax, that little would come from income and tonnage tax. He said he hoped the time would come when the subterfuges of income and tonnage taxes would not have to be resorted to.
 He said he was not willing to put on the income and tonnage tax and leave al valorem tax values at 20 per cent He said he favored first the ad valorem tax equitably adjusted at 50 per cent of val ues and then when that is reached these special taxes will not be needed,

WILL COST $500, 900 YEARLY

Senator Leith of Walker stated that it could not be known what would be in the completed bill until it is completed. This new machinery, ns said, would cost the state of Alabama over sS00.o00 8 year, and for four years over s1,00000O He insisted that instead of cutting off offices new ones are created and salaries increased; that all this increased expenses comes out Of the tax payers pockets. Yes" he said, we must have more taxes lo pay salaries of new officers and in- creased pay for old ones I am not here to do what the governor wants. l was elected by my people to repre- sent them, and 1 have the courage to do it.
 Tt would take almost half of the pro- posed tonnage tax to pay the expense of this new machinery, and that ma chinery is supposed to handle only ao valorem values.
 Senator Mcdowell of Barbour stating that he opposed the income tax, that his people oppose it, and holding to this view, he felt that the governor should be given the machinery necessary to raise the needed revenues, but he opposed consid- eration of the amendment until the in- come and tonnage tax provisions are dis posed of. He said he would vote for the machinery if it is passed over until these other matters are considered. but, it forced to vote now, he would have to vote against it.

Baptist leader. exercises general su
pervision OF all the work.
The United States has been divided
into ten districts. with regional head.
quarters for each. Each state is as
signed to one OF these districts. The
state has its own survey council con-
sisting of n clergyman ana n layman
FRO meach determination, representa-
ltives from the state agricultural and
educational departments. the state hiss
torian or archive keeper and similar
forces.
| The basic unit of the survey is the
country council, consisting of from
two to four members which oversees
collection of data In the field. Wher-
ever possible local men win be used in
Investigations, &&
Special Investigators.
The urban surveys together with
those of special problems, such as
those of the Immigrant. the foreign
language colony work among isolated
people such as those in the Southern
mountains, work among negroes, etc.
will be handled by special investiga-
ting bodies.
= The rural surveys are under the
general direction of Edmund de S.
Drummer. of the Moravian church. a
writer on rural matters, and Norman
N. Morse. OF the Presbyterian Board
of Home Missions.
As each survey reveals to each
country the actual facts about religion
conditions within its own confines, ii
is believed that the counties them
selves will work out programs of inter-
denominational cooperation in the To-
cal field.
Out Of such local programs, state
will be formulated. Region
al plans will grow from these and ma
tional enterprises from the regional
plans Finally 1t is expected that from
a national viewpoint it will be possible
to answer such questions as the re-
sponsibility of the whole church in in
dustrial matters. and towards such So
cial problems as Bolshevisk and other
causes of world unrest. Once this re-
sponsibility is determined. 1T will take
its fixed place in the general program
for the Christianization of the entire
world.
