The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-07-13

The first open session of the commit tees will be held Wednesday afternoon, and 1t is understood that the first matter to be taken up will be the clause levy ing tax of cents ton on coal and iron mined in the state. This clause vitally affects the mining interests of the Birmingham district and 1t Is expected that a large delegation will come down for the hearing. It is estimated that through this tax the state would derive between S1,250,0o0 and S1,500,00o a year, and the income and excess profits clause would bring into the state treasur2 an- other sum closely approximating S1, H 900.
 Governor Kilby recognizes the fact that this clause and the income and excess profits clauses of the bill will have strong opposition, but he is determined that they shall be included in the bill when finally enacted into law.
 He stated to The Age-Herald corre- spondent this morning that the bill would pass both houses and that the tonnage and income and excess profits features will be retained in it.
 NO OPPOSITION DEVELOPS
 Some opposition to the bill has devel- oped the last day or two on account of the governors refusal or failure to open ly espouse the cause of woman suffrage. The fact that his message, read by him. self to the two houses in joint session last Tuesday. contained no reference to the federal constitutional amendment en- franchising the women of the nation, caused a great deal of dissatisfaction among the advocates of woman suffrage, and some of the legislators are said to have joined the opposition to the tonnage and income and excess profits features of the revenue and taxation measure be-
 A sible has been brought to bear on Gov ernor Kilby since Tuesday to influence him to get behind the suffrage amend ment, but he is reported to have held out against any active participation in the fight either for or against the amend ment This Is said to have angered some of his strongest adherents and in conse- quence they have joined the opposition to the revenue measure.
 'tI hear much of the opposition to the tax on coal and iron taken from the earth said Governor Kilby to The Age Herald correspondent today. 'The op- position contends that it would be just as fair and equitable to place tax on cotton and corn and other farm products. There is no analogy between a tax on minerals and farm products.
 Coal and iron ore are rich assets, de- posted in the earth to await the touch of man to convert them into fuel and instruments and appliances for the use, comfort and happiness of the people. Ev cry ton removed from the earth to that extent reduces the wealth of the state. Minerals once removed from the earth can never be replaced. That portion of the states assets is forever gone
 Not so with cotton and corn and other farm products. The lands can be worked over and over. Fertiliza- tion makesGhem better and by rotat- ing crops the yield can be largely in creased.
