LEVIED ON BUSINESS

The tax, the court says, is not levied upon the coal or iron ore. but upon c business. and the charges placed on the tonnage IS a means of ascertaining the amount of the tax.
 Attorneys in the case are awaiting the exact text of the decision before making comment, and they will con- suit with their principals before enter ing final decision whether to take an appeal to the supreme court of the United States, but it is indicated that this appeal will be taken.
 The tonnage tax is levied over and above the general land tax and the land tax is levied both son the surface or farm value and on the value of the ore and coal beneath the surface. Hence coal and ore operators, who already pay a farm land tax and a mineral holding tax on the same piece of prop erty, hold that the tonnage tax is dou- ble taxation. Some of the ore bearing lands are taxed at more than 1000 per acre, and Jefferson county lands are taxed more heavily than those of any other county in the state.
 The tonage tax was levied in timc past in other states, but was never lcng in vogue.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-06-06
NOT A PROPERTY TAX

The compliments contended that the tax was unconstitutional in that it was property tax and was not levied in proportion to the value of the thing taxed. The supreme court held that it was not a property tax, but privi- lege tax. The opinion was written by Chief Justice Anderson and is con- cured in by the other justices. It was handed down on yesterday.
 It is thought now quite probable that the favorable decision in this matter will obviate an extra session of the general assembly. Had it been adverse to the tax and this loss of revenue added to that entailed by the decision declaring the income tax void, the gov ernor it was felt assured, would call an extra session to provide for the de- ficiency in revenue thus caused.
 Now, however, it is felt that with the higher property assessments ex- pected to be levied on property at large throughout the state and the tonnage tax returns, the state will be able to go ahead win financial success.
 In the course of it's decision, the court held that the question of prime importance was the determination on whether or not the levy in question was a property tax, or a tax on privilege or occupation. It was pointed out that the legislature in plain and unambigu- ous language, the court holds, desig mated the tonnage tax as a license or privilege tax levied upon the business CT occupation of operating mines.

 ID APPEAL DECISION
 ON TONNAGE TAX ID US. SUPREME COURT
COnstitutionality of Tax Is Upheld By Alabama Su- preme Court-Favora-
 ble Decision May Ob-
 viate Extra Session

Constitutionality of the coal and iron tonnage tax was upheld by the Alabama supreme court in an opinion written yesterday by John c. Anderson, chief justice.
 Attorneys for the Republic Iron and Steel Company and others protesting the tonnage tax on ore and coal will probably take an appeal from the de cision of the supreme court of Ala bama to the supreme court of the United States.
 All the ore and coal producers of the coal and ore-bearing counties are interested in the outcome of the &C., tion. Under the act of the last general assembly, which adopted a revenue measure levying this tax. ore mined is taxed cents a ton and coal mined cents a ton.
 The annual production of Alabama coal is about 20,000 900 tons and of ore about 6,000,0 900 tons. The total reve- nue to the state from this source would be about $500,000 per annum.

The Illinois attack was irresistible
and the Orange and Blue eleven took
advantage of every break. In trounc-
ing the Hawkeyes. Iuppke's crew
virtually eliminated another Big Ten
title contender.
! Illinois scored q goal from place
ment just before the second period
ended for the only tally of the first
half. a fumbled punt by Captain
Kelly and a S5-yard sprint by Carney
gave the Illini their first Touchdown
shortly after the opening of the third
, quarter.
Hcllstrom also booted drop kick
in this period and CranSle punched
the oval over for another touchdown
after the way was paved by his Ia
yard run on a fake place kick play.
Two bad fumbles at the start of
the first half put the Iowa eleven in
; the hole from the very start. A. De-
vine was forced to kick imediately
and the Illinois backs found little diff
ficulty in making first down several
times in succession.

VIII Take Three
Years to Rebuild
Chicago White Sox

Charley Comskey, owner of the
Chicago White Sox, which recently
lost the services of seven athletes
charged with having taken part in
throwing games in the worlds
series with the Cincinnati Reds in
1919, is resigned to u three-year job
in building his club. AItho heart
broken over disclosures of crooked
ness on his club, Comiskay says he
is perfectly willing 70 undertake the
task OF building another pennant
winner for the Windy City.
1t is since the disclosures were
made that CcEliskey has laen hit the
hardest blow. When the "iixers" were
suspended, Comiskey iisuyes he lost
a cool $3.50, 600 by the move. lie val

amount. And the whole narrowing

lose his entire fortune rather than
retain u man guilty of a single dis
honest act. II owe all l have TO the
great national game, and every dollar
nave Was honestly earned ! want
none of the other kind." he said
Comiskey plans to strengthen his
club via the purchase route during
the stove league season, according to
Secretary Gardiner. There are not
many good bah players fsr sale in
the American League but Comtskey
will pay record prices to bolster the
club for the 1921 race" said the
official.
Coniskey has always stood ready
TO pay the highest price ever offered
for ball player, for the contract OF
George Sisler, of the st. Louis
Browns But 1t is not likely he will
be able to LAND the Mound City hit
ting star, as owner Ball of the
Browns believes he will be able to
build a good club around the young
ster next season.
With the loss of Cicotte and Will
liams, Comiskey has two big holes to
hn in his pitching corps. His scouts
have rounded up fifteen young minor
league hurlers this season, but il IS
not likely any of them will be able TO
take the place of either OF che vet
Grams who were ruled out for crook
edness. Comiskey has refused help
from other magnates in the way of
tho loan of players. declaring he pre-
ferred to build his own club in his

"Gusll tell you where he took 'em,"
said the bartender soothingly.
He'll be back in a minute if he
don't pick up another fare in the
street" the other speaker said. "Just
stick around awhile"
By this time everybody present
was interested in Jacks quest. Here
he is! Here's Gust" half a dozen
voices cried, as Il battered taxi -cab
l,came to stand before the door.
They all followed INN out on the
pavement.
Did you pick up a friend of mine
here?" asked Jack of the driver.
"Iou know, Gus. Swell guy with
the tile and the wedding fixings,"
some one added.
"Sure!" said Gus.
Where did you take him."
"McGann's, Third near Fifty
Eighth"
The name had an ominous ring.
"McGann's?" said Jack. Hasn't
that place a bad name?"
1.-THE worst in town." said Gus
cheerfully. Want me to take you
there?"
Thanks my own car is around the
corner" said Jack.
He fastened to it.
Jacks heart sank at the aspect of
McGanns. Never had he been in
a place better suited to deeds of
evil. In front there was an ordi-
marry bar of the humber kind. 1t
was empty except for the bartenders
busy pouring drinks, which were car
ried behind a screen at the rear by
a waiter whose blotched face and
furtive eyes suggested an unimagined
degradation. Bartender and waiter
stared at Jack with a sneer.
what, another!" the former said
under his breath.
Behind the screen Jack found HIM
self in a big, low ceiled room set
with tables more than half filled with
drinkers of both sexes. The walls
were dark and greasy, the air thick
with the smoke of unspeakable ci
CARS. The strangest feature of the
place was the silence that filled it.
The drinkers for the most part sat
huddled in their chairs with eyes
cast down orscaps pulled low. When
whispers When one wanted more
drink he held up finger. 1t was a
strange scene of merry making.
The presiding genius of the place
was a head waiter or "bouncer,' who
did not soil his hands with serving,
but lolled about the place watching
his patrons with a hard. ironiCal
eye like an animal-trainer. Jack,
instinctively lowering his voice to
suit the hushed air of the place, adj
dressed his usual question to, this
individual
The man looked him over insolent-
ly before replying. A defiant sheer
turned the corners of his lips. "He

look said: "Sure, I'm lying. What
are you going to do about it?"
Jack flushed, and clenched his
teeth. Turning his back on the man,
he addressed the room at large with
raised voice
I'm looking for a friend of mine.

Those huddled around the walls
stirred in discomfort at the sound of
