CARTOON|ST FROM
 LOS ANGELES HERE
A. J. Taylor, on Leisurely Trip Over Country, in Bir-
 mingham Few Days

A. J. Taylor, cartoonist of the Los Angeles Times, is in Birmingham for a few days. MT. Taylor was given a years leave of absence by his paper and is making leisurely trip through out the country. In addition to his cartoon work, MT. Taylor writes let ters from the cities he visits.
 T admire especially your wide streets and the plan in which the city is laid off" said MT. Taylor. Tn that respect it is like Los Angeles. Cities with narrow, irregular treets, such as Atlanta, Boston and San Francisco, al- ways have the appearance of being larger than they are, but I like to See cities give themselves plenty of elbow room and room to grow.
 s"It is 20 years since I was in Bir- mingham, but there is scarcely any thing I recognize today. Your sky scrapers offer a contrast to Los An geles because our building laws limit the height of buildings to 1SO feet Builders may make structures as many stories as they wish, but they must not go above 1S0 feet. As result, our sky line Is very uniform"

THINKS TAX RATE
 NOT HIGH ENOUGH

City Recorder Henry L. Martin:
 The present tax rate in Alabama is not high enough for existing conditions. It cannot furnish enough revenue for the state and should be raised. One of the greatest needs in regard to taxation is that after the readjustment that is coming, the tax rate should be fixed definitely for a number of years
 Taxes are constantly being changed. If they were fixed for a period of say 10 years. it would serve as notice to those who plan to own or who own real estate, as to how much taxes they would have to pay for that length of time.
 Il know of nothing that so badly needs the attention of brainy men as the regu- laton of the tax system and the pro
