Moss, our State Senator to be, had
no opponent in the race, the people
of Knox County nevertheless showed
their appreciation of his splendid

fresh laurels to the Mountain Coun-

Citizens Declare Coal Tax Gerat Injustice to
 Birmingham District

have lived here. and I don't think the people realize how serious the matter is and how it will effect this district.
 Why should a man pay a 5-cent tax on a ton of coal when he can buy it in Tennessee or Kentucky without the tax? The coal people have been injured more than anyone else and they will not be able to compete with operators of other states. Five cents a ton is the aver age net income on ton of coal the year round, for I have been in the business and know
 While I am not connected with any mines at the present time, feel that great injustice has been done this dis trict in placing the tax on coal. Of course, the tax will make no difference at home, as it will be paid by the con- sumer but it is probable that this tax will only close up many of the mines.
 The exempting of the Alabama Power company from a tax was shame as this company alone has taken away of coal, while more than 100000 tons of Alabama coal were sold in New Orleans and in many instances there the use of oil doing away with coal.
 This means that 100000 tons of coal formerly furnished by the Birmingham district will not be needed now, and with the additional tax of cents the oper- ators will be unable to sell their output at prices that can compare with those O. other states, and this district will have business taken away from 1t that it should have"

Young Negro Charged
 With Stealing Mails

Joe Henry Inge. a 13-year-old negro boy, was arrested yesterday on a war rant charging larceny of mails, and in default of a $500 bond was committed to the juvenile court pending a pre- iminary hearing which has been set for September 2, before Kenneth Charlton, United States commissioner. It is alleged that the boy stayed in the lobby of the local postoffice and when letters failed to go through the drops into the baskets he would fish them out and take the stamps off and attempt to sell them to people coming into the postoffice.

pie in this district will be affected by the five cent tax on coal and the income tax will add to the burden on their shoul- ders.
 Again, it is a plain case of discrini- nation. Why tax the coal operators and not the hydro-electric people, the Ala oama Power company and other indus tries that are used in furnishing power to Keep the enterprises and industries go- ing Again. it will be detrimental to progression of the Birmingham district in that it will keep men and concerns with large capital from investing here It is discriminatory and will effect the working men within the Birmingham dis trict.

the discrimination that makes it objec- tionable.
 Look at the number Of other indus tries that could be as legitimately taxed as that of coal; the electric concerns. the marble quarries and others. l believe in order that revenue be raised tax should be placed on everything. Not dollar is levied in the bill on corn, cotton. meat and other things.
 Tn agricultural districts. hundreds ot bales of cotton lie in the warehouses yearly The cotton can be converted into money just as quickly as coal. Why the discrimination? The coal tax will be det- rimental to the progression of the Bir- mingham district from many standpoints. Ours is a coal district and on this dis trict the burden of course, will be loaded

B. F. Moore. vice-president of the Moore & Handley Hardware compan, refused to discuss the action taken by the senate, and the activities of the gov ernor in passing the revenue bfu. but with regard to that particular phase ot tonnage which levies tax on coal ana iron said:
 Tt is unjust and discrimatory and places burden on this district more than it ought to bear. If it Is said that the tax Is so small that it will not affect the coal industries, 1t is equally too small to be of any benefit to the state, which of course, is not fact

Dr. J. H. Phillips: Tt is up to the governor and the state legislature to provide funds for the maintenance of a public school system-how they should get the necessary funds I will not say. IE reference to the revenue bill I am not in position to give an opinion on it because have made no study of it eco ironically and am not familiar with it.
 pr. Phillips stated that the school sys- tenn of the state is in a deteriorating condition and is badly in need of funds. which the governor and the legislature should in some way provide

T. C. Mcdonald said: T think that the tonnage clause of the revenue bill is out rageous and discriminatory. l cannot sec any reason why taxes should not be lev- jed in just proportion upon everything. A bushel of potatoes, a bale of cotton, ton of cotton seed, and every other com modity could be just as justly taxed in proportion to it's value as the coal and iron industries"

LETTERS TO EDITOR
The Fair Price Board

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The fair price board mentioned in the morning press is composed of exem- plary citizens. Considering the interest of the public it looks very much like the state selecting jury composed of men who helped the defendant eat the pig, and then expect verdict of guilty from them. Truth will never reign until camouflake Is dethroned. Respectfully,
