Is necessary to meet the obligations and the needs of Alabama. Only make it equal and you can write the law and every detail of it. All we ask IS fair treatment, equal treatment--a square deal. And we want to be abso- lutely fair to everybody alike.
 That Is our position and has been our position from the beginning. You cannot drive us from it by denying us plain right to challenge statement which we know cannot be substar.t- ated eve mean the statement that coa. is netting $1 to s1.o0 at the mine, and not the statement that somebody said sol, nor by villifying or abusing us foi making the challenge.
 READY WITH FIGURES
 Now. you seek to escape the one issue we rendered by asking us to publish the amount of excess profit tax paid by our companies for the years 1917 and 1918 We are ready and willing to do that, provided, o1 course, others do the same. All ve wantsis fair and equal treatment. Ii you think that information is pertl- nent, just arrange it so that every Lody in Alabama liable to the same tax will publish the same inforira' ton and we are with you, Such in formation from cement plants, lirns | mines marble quarries. sand and gravel pits and other such lines oi business which are said to deplete tns states natural resources will show which industry can best afford to stan, special class legislation. But we won't tamely submit to legislation ol any kind. which singles us out for sIe, cial burdens. No manly man undei free government will do that, and | Alabama was composed of citizen ship that would do that it would no long remain free.
 "When you are ready to frame legis lation that is fair, equal and uniform il it's burdens and privileges, you will hav' our earnest support.
