THINKS SYSTEM GOOD

''I think the system devised by the re- cess committee as reported in the rev. enue bill, was good a system as could be created. The tax court brings men to- gether from different counties, which would result in the equalization of val ues among the counties
 Senator Acker advocated the creation of the office of state appraisers, who go out into each county, ascertaining the amount of cultivatabie land, timber land and town property, and if they found values to be too low, to direct the tax supervisors to equalize values and to bring the county total up to the sum specified
 He said the legislature didn't have time now to work out such a system, and insisted that his motion be adopted.

M'DOWELL AGAINST MOTION

Senator Mcdowell said he would vote against the motion although he was in favor of taxing machinery that would equalize values and place the tax bur den equitably among the people.
 T feel like we ought to have some kind of effective taxing machinery" said Senator Mcdowell but there are some things taxed in this bill that some of us object to and if they go through 1 don't see any need of this machinery. If these taxes are taken off then I will be for the machinery. For that reason l will vote against the machinery now.
 Senator Ellis, of Dallas, said the ma chinery part of the bill had been thresh- ed out in the house, where it was voted down; that he wanted proper equaliza. ticn, but there were three other impor- tant matters in the bill that would de- termine the necessity of having the pro posed taxing machinerX

ing. Senator Acker stated this after noon that unless the finance and tax alton committee agrees upon report before the senate reconvenes at 10 o'clock Friday morning he will offer the resolution on the roll call for the introduction of bills, resolutions and memorials It would then be referred to the rules committee. which is com posed of Senators Acker of Calhoun, Miller of Wilcox, Prestwood of Cev- ington. Butler of Madison and Car michael of Colbert.
 When the committee adjourned this morning. to attend the Session of the senate it was apparently hopelessly tied up on the machinery, the income excess profits and coal and iron ore tonnage provisions. Three intellectual votes had been taken, followed by a lengthy discussion of the taxing ma chinery
 The first vote was on Senator Ackers motion to report the coal tom mage section favorably, which resulted in a tie, and then followed tie votes on Senator Acker's motion to report favorably the iron ore tonnage tax and the income tax and the taxing machinery

AD vALoREM ONLY SYSTEM

Let us get together and work out system on an ad valorem basis. It can be worked out or a proper basis, but rot when we are in the dark as to what is going to be done with these other things"
 Senator Leith of Walker saH that the matter could be worked out if the men holding opposing views were willing to make some concessions. mentioning the workmen's compensa- tion act as one measure over which there was great diversity of opinion, but which was worked out satisfac- tory to all and then passed
 There has been no disposition on the part of the governor to concedc anything. He wants us to give all. If this is to be the way things are done then change the constitution and empower the governor to draw up such bills as he wants and then let the legislature meet and in two or three days adopt them.

Prickly Heat

Some day you will ask yourself. Why did I refuse to use Tyree's Antiseptic Powder for these tormenting cases of Poison Oak, Prickly Heat and Mosquito Bites? The person who does not use Tyree's Antiseptic Powder freely in these cases fails in two ways. neglect and fore sight. For the effect of Tyree's Antiseptic Powder in these cases is almost marvel ous. One or two tablespoons full dissolved in a basin of water invariably relieves you while you are applying it. When used in the same dilu- tions it's application is very pleasant and noncauterizing

T believe in the necessary machin- cry said Senator Ellis, and if it is nec- essary to have fan extra session of the legislature to work it out, let us have an extra session.
 Get these other things out of the way and then we can go to work on the machinery The people of Ala bama expect an equalization of values and the machinery can be put in mo- tion in from 90 to 120 days that will raise all the revenues needed to main tain the state government and insti tutions. The appointment of apprais CTS should be made by the governor. three to each county, with probably five in Jefferson and Mobile.
 tThe people are not willing to go to the expense of these offices with these other things in the bill that will raise $5,000,000 or more a year. The people of Alabama have rebelied against the excesses in the way of revenue to be raised in the bill pro- nOSeG fO them

 TAX OPPONENTS OBJECT
 Senators opposed to the income, excesc profit and coal and iron tonnage tax ob- jected to this plan whereupon Senator Acker moved to report favorably the coal tonnage tax section. The motion was lost by tie vote, Senators Acker of Calhoun, Brown of St Clair, Butler of Madison, Cowan of Bullock and Kelly of Monroe voting for it, and Senators Ellis of Dal- las, Leith of Walker, Mcdowell of Bar bour, Moore of Perry and West of Jef~ ferson against it.
 Senator Acker's motion to report fa- vorably the iron ore tonnage and income tax sections met similar vote, in each instance the vote standing to 5.
 Senator Acker then offered an amend ment creating the tax machinery written into the original bill with the exception that the members of the district tax courts would be appointed by the gover- nor on recommendation of circuit judges. The amendment provides for a tax su- pervisor in each county in whom shall vest the powers and duties now conferred in county boards of equalization, district tax courts of three members, and state tax commission of three members.
 All realize said Senator Acker, that we must have some taxing machinery whereby property values can be equaliz- edA A tax assessor elected by the people is usually a candidate to succeed him self or for some other office, and any man who starts out making material in creases in property values makes enemies and he will not have much chance ot being elected by the people again. For haxr xod iy1 a a that a man to review the values in the assessors books ssvas a necessity. No- body likes a tax dodger. Everybody should bear his just share of taxes and then the burden would not be heavy on anyone.

is the only thing between this world

Up on the top of this there was a big

well, yesterday a bunch of about
two hundred went to a town by the
name of Lourdes and took in the
sights there. 1t sure is something
to see there. First we went thru
the Cathedral, Twill send you a pic

Christ was crusified. It shows in
different stations the different sta

where he was buried, then down to
where the Virgin appears before a

water. There have been 1900 cured
between 1858 until 1908. Since
then there have more been cured.
There are lot of other things connec-
ed with this grotto but it would take
too long to write it all but keep
those pictures. Will tell you about
it. From this grotto we went up
in a big building where it showed
the painting of the town of Lourdes
the morning of April 18th, 1885. It

The foundation of the company is
a real male quartet, three members
of which belonged to the old Ma

al numbers and quartet music fea-
ture the work of the Tack company.
STRONG LECTURE LIST
The lecture program, headed by
Optic Read, seems to be exceptionally
strong.
James Hardin Smith comes with
long record of successful platform
work. He is a pastor of one of the
largest churches in st. Louis and is
spending his summer vacation on the
Chautauqua platform. DR.. Smith has
travelled extensively abroad and his
lectures are the reflections of his
study and observation.
w. E. Wenner comes to the Vawter
territory after two successive seasons
on the seven-day program of the Red
path Chautauquas, operating out of
Chicago. This is as strong an en-
dorsement as any lecturer could re-
ceive. It is very seldom that lee
turer can return for the second sue
cessive year to nearly one hundred
towns and draw larger audiences
than he did on his first appearance.
One place is being held open on
the program to allow the manage
ment to select the best available
man at the last moment. These are
big days we are living in and the
management hopes to secure man
with big, vital message that is up
to the hour in timeliness.

OPIE READ WILL BE
HERE DURING JUNE
On Program for Summer Chautau-
qua to be Held Week of
June 1917

c. C. Collett, the veteran field man
ager of the Vawter Chautauqua Sys-
tenn, was here last week presenting
the program for the summer and dis
cusing details with the local Chau-
tauqua committee. Mr.. Collett dis
played a splendid list of attractions
and asserted that now that the war is
over Chautauqua is coming back
digger and better" than ever.
Among the interesting features of
the week will be the appearance of
Opie Read, president of the Chicago
Press Club, and one of the foremost
American nOveliStS. Those who have
read "Old Linn Jucklin," the ark
ansaw Traveller" and other delight
full stories from Reads pen will well
come the opportunity to meet and
hear this distinguished writer and
orator.
MUSIC IS GOOD
Good music seems to feature the
program offered by the Vawter Sys-
tenn for the summer. It is probable
that the concert by the Oxford Oper-
attic Company will be the finest thing
ever presented by the Vawter Sys-
tenn. Such at least is Mr. Collects
prediction.
The Oxford Company is an organ
iZatiOn of vocal artists. Stella Seb-
astian Ogden sang for two seasons
with the famous "Bostonians," one
season as understudy to Alice Nelson.
Vera Ross Coburn was formerly with
the Schuberts and has long been
known as the "Schumann-Heink of
the Lyceum." Harry Allen Letter
tional Church, Chicago, Claude Hart
Ogden for a number of years was a
member of the Oriental Quartet, and
Harrison w. Burch is we'll known
among American musicians.
HUSSARS
Another premier musical attrac-
ton, although lighter and more pop
ular perhaps than the Oxfords, will
be the White Hussars. This is an
organization of nine young women
and they will present program filled
to the brim with dash and life. This
is one of the Ralph Dunbar COM
panies. The young women appear
in natty costumes; they sing as a
