ACCURACY IMPOSSIBLE

Referring to the income tax and h.
 ternal Revenue Collector John D. Me
 Neel's estimate of so,0O0,000, Judge Mur-
 phree stated that it would be impos-
 sble to make any dependable estimate
 of revenues from that source. MT. Me
 NeeI's estimate, he declared, was based
 OF incomes or>191S, banner year in
 industries, and that no such incomes
 could be expected again at least under normal conditions.
 He said that the constitution prohibit
 ed taxing incomes derived from prop
 erty already taxed, and this would cause
 a large decrease from the total on which
 the government collected How much
 the tax would be decreased by reason
 of this constitutional restriction, he said,
 it would be impossible to estimate.
 Representative Gus Benners suggested
 that the committee of the whole be put
 in possession of the facts that were ad-
 duced before the ways, means and ap-
 propriations committee, and to that end
 moved that general debate not exceeding
 one hour on the whole bill be permtted
 before taking it up section by section. He urged that there were four funda-
 mentals involved in the measure and that the members should have some knowl- edge of the full measure before they
 voted on any particular. clause.
 Representative Lynne of Morgan ob- | jected
 1 Continuing his argument for full discussion of the measure before talk ! ing up the various sections separately. MT. Benners said the bill involves too :, important a matter to be disposed of l in the manner proposed by those op- posed to full and free Ndiscussion. MT. Benners, advocating the hofi- zontal raise, said he was going to Lut | it squarely up to the coIAcience of the members of the legislature. If you make the appropriations rec commended by the budget committee, are you willing to pay your propor- tionate share of the taxes?" he asked. You propose in this bill to raise st one sweep two thirds of this two mil l lions in Jefferson county and a few adjoining mineral counties.
 ROBBING SCHOOL CHILDREN MT. Murphree says he is opposed to | occupational and privilege taxes as l unjust and inequitable. This bill ;,ro- poses to perpetuate an evil of some l years standing. By refusing to assess property at it's full value and fixing the valuation at only 60 per cent you are robbing future generations of that which belongs to them. The consti- tuition provides that 30 cents out of every $100 of taxes collected shall go
 to the schools. By collecting only a 1 S60 valuation you are robbing the {; school children of IS cents on the s1n0 i If you can tax property at 60 per cent of its valuation, you can tax it at 10 per cent or at per cent. or you can wipe it out entirely The consti tuition contemplates nothing less than | 100 per cent. The tonnage tax is the same as that we have opposed through /, all generations on account of 1t being 1 . tax on consumption.

 Tn 1915 an amendment was aoopteu permitting a special three-mitl tax levy

 Judge Murphree, chairman of the bud get committee, who has been called upon on all occasions to explain it's features and to point out changes from the eX- isting law, reviewed the work of the committee, stating that the demands
 were insstent and persistent for in creased funds for the schools. for all
 state institutions, and for all other pur- | poses.
 You can prove anything by the au' ditor's report he said referring to MT 1 Longs statement that the report for the | fiscal year 1918 showed a surplus of
 $50 600. "The reported surplus in the

motions to adjourn were voted down by large majorfties.
 The inconsistency of politics was forci- bly, demonstrated during the fight ovei this amendment Members of the houss who are known as administration lead CTS, men who have been in the fore on all questions of policy in which the gov ernor has become interested, were lined up with the opposition to the proposed new taxing system, while some of it's more prominent supporters are generally classed as nti-administration.
 STEAM ROLLER IN ACTION
 The steam roller was first put into ac- ton this morning when the section of the bill relating to tax valuation was reached. Representative Van de Graft of Tuscaloosa offered an amendment horizontally increasing tax valuation from 60 per cent to 1G0 per cent. Repre- sentative Lynn of Morgan moved to table the amendment, but withdrew his motion to permit of discussion. Mir Van de Graff called attention to the inequal- ity of land assessments in the various counties of the state and in a vigorous speech of 10 minutes charged that tho legislature, by refusing to raise property value to 100 per cent, were paving the way for the levying of unjust discrim- inatory and negotiable taxes on indus try and production.
 Perhaps the most exciting episode of the day came when Representative Arnold of Jefferson charged Governor xilby with trying to force through the legislature bills that will ruin the in dustrial section of the state. Mir Ar mold has been a supporter of Governor Kilby, voted for the prohibition amendment to the federal constitution and has voted for all of the admins tration measures that have been be- fore the house up to the present time.
 Speaking of the Vandegraaf amend ment MT. Arnold said:
 'sThe whole business is cut and dried The gun is loaded and ready to go off know who goes downstairs to get in structions. A conference was heid with the governor last night and or ders given. It's an imposition on th 9 people of Alabama to take the big stick and attempt to drive these things through this body. It is an outrage that the governor should dictate to tho legislature what 1t should do. take no dictation from the governor, nor from big interests of Jefferson county, union labor, nor from any ] other interests. You denied us the right to 8 general discussion of this whole bill before we took it up by sec tions and you now propose to run it through smoothly so as to prepare the way for the coal and iron ore tomas 6 and income tax clauses.

first big blow off came over section ' which fixes the taxable value of property at sixty per cent of it's fair cash value. Representative Van de Graaf of Tusca- loosa moved to raise the valuation to one hundred per cent.
 LONG OPPOSES INCREASE
 Representative Long of Butler recog- nized by the chair, made an argument against increasing the revenues at thls time, stating that the auditors s report 1o- the fiscal year ended September SO, l9Io' showed that receipts exceeded the us bursements by about s700,O0O, and that y this rate were maintained two or three years the floating debt could be wiped out without increasing the rates or reacn- ing out for new sources of taxation.
