UNDERWOOD STRONG IN ETOWAH COUNTY.
Chairman Smith Says Sehti- ment Has Now Crystal
 ized for Senator

Gadsden, April 24- -(Special.-Senator Oscar W. Underwood will sweep Etowah county stated Charles P. Smith, chair man of the Underwood campaign in this city today.
 Senator Underwood will mop up in the May primaries said Judge Leon McCord, of Montgomery, while visiting here yes terday These two statements represent the confident feeling that is prevalent among all the Underwood forces in this county at the present time.
 'The sentiment in favor of the return of our distinguished senator from Ala bama," stated Mr. Smith, "has been grad ually crystallizing until today we are as sured that he will be given a flattering ln- dorsement by the Etowah county citi- zens.
 Since the appearance in this city short time ago of the various candidates for the senatorial honors, at which time Senator Underwood talked straight from the shoulder to the labor and farming ele- ments of the community, we have sensed feeling friendliness for the issues he espouses and represents
 "The prohibition issue has been super ceded, If it ever was an issue, by the larger and more important issue of "out- side political Interference in Alabama's elctions," he continued. There was meeting of the Underwood campaign con- mittee with the friends of Senator Un- derwood in the Printup hotel this week at which time plans were laid for an ex- tensive education campaign in the inter- est of the present senator.

tion would be taken and that Ryan would continue to be member. No ex- pectation is entertained, however, that Ryan will seek to have Stutz restored to trading on the exchange
 In a statement issued tonight, Ryan said:
 T am more gratified because the set- tement recognizes the validity of these contracts l regard as the corner stone of our whole commercial and financial structure"
 ADVICE IS FREE e The Stutz incident has served to point out "certain flaws in the stock exchange system" said MT. Ryan. Never agaSl,' he added, should a governor be permit ted to participate in any deliberation, di- cision or judgment upon a matter in which he or his firm has or represents an interest, directly or indirectly. This is a reform which the exchange for it. self it's members and for the thousands of people who deal with it should promptly inaugurate and strictly enforce.
 Also the events of the past few weeks emphasize the advisability of placing this gigantic financial institution under the same sort of responsible legal super vision as the government now exercises over banks, trust companies and insur- ance companies. There is no proper power which the exchange enjoys today that it cannot just as well enjoy if it be

course would facilitate the making of arrests"
 Secretary Wilson interrupted hear ings after reading of the letter to an- nsunce that criticisms of the methods of the department of justice or de- fense of those methods did not come within purview of the hearing.
 A second tilt between Hale and Hoover occurred a few minutes later, however. when Hoover offered to read rtterances of Louis c. Frayner, an in- ternationalist as evidence of the ad- vocacv of force and violence by com munist labor members.
 Hale interrupted with the charge that Frayner was an agent of the de- artment of justice.
 Are you prepared to prove that statement?' Hoover shouted. "The man who will say that Frayner was, CT is. or will be an agent of the de- rartment of justice has uttered de- liberate and malicious falsehood and the man who makes such statement Is a liar"
 Hoover warned Hale that if he d;d not substantiate the statement within ten days the attorney general would call upon him publicly to do so. ..

STATE DEPARTMENT
 GIVES ENDORSEMENT.
By Associated Pres.

Indianapolis, Ind, April 24-Indorse- ment of the stand of the committee on recommendations in favor of the four fold plan under which the American Le- zion is uring Congress to enact adjusted compensation for former soldiers was given by the state department and na- tional adjutants of the organization here today. The action was included in the resolutions, adopted at the closing ses- sion of a three-day conference of the representatives fro mthirty-one states.
 We feel" says the report, that the American Legion in the interest of square deal to all should give it's sup port to the original American Legion four-fold benefit plan, or none" Tus plan includes land settlement, home aid, vocational training and adjusted com pensation.
 While the conference has no legisla- tive power, the recommendations of the adjutants will carry great weight with the national convention when it assem- bles in Cleveland in September, 1t is ke- lieved, as well as with the executive committee, in which legislative authority is vested between national conventions.

Captain Frank s. White Names Ben F. Ray Chairman County Cam paign Committee.

MT Kay is prominent young attorney of this city. who served the county as as- sistant solicitor for number of years, then enlisted for the World War, being assigned to the S5th Field Artillery. Mir. Ray, assisted by strong central commit tee. will wage active and aggressive cam paign throughout the County.
 In accepting the chairmanship of this committee, he says
 T take great pleasure in assisting Cap- tain White in his race for the short term Senatorship. Like the people of Jefferson County, I know Senator White who has re- sided here for thirty years His whole life. both private and public. has been an open book. He has served the city, county and state in every emergency presented, always standing for and advocating the moral side of every issue. He is high class Christian gentleman. having been q member of the Baptist Church since boy hood have surveyed the county and find that an overwhelming majority of the peo- pie are with him.
 "The issue has become so clear in the last few days on the question of the sale of raised and advocated by one of his op- ponents, that Senator White believes it should be met squarely and unequivocally by every candidate in the race; that this se- rious question should not be evaded or the issue straddled by any candidate who of- fers to represent the people of Alabama in the Senate. Senator White has chal- lenged Governor O'Neal to debate this question before the public and l. at his re- quest, now repeat the challenge. Senator White refuses to accept as satisfactory MT. O'Neal's offer to debate this question with all of his opponents for the reason that two of the candidates have not taken issue with MT. O'Neal this subject and are there fore presumably in absolute harmony with him. Captain White states that more than a month has elapsed since MT. ONeal de- clared in favor of beer mad light wines and in favor of amending and weakening the prohibition laws which Congress has enacted and the other candidates have remained silent on the issue. Mir. O'Neal being es- pecially gifted in speech ought to be willing to defend his position the stump with his only opponent who has taken issue with him and challenged him"

 We do not ask for American troops except only insofar as they may be necessary to guard these arms from the seacoast until they are delivered TO the Armenians in the mountains of the interior" said MT.

 tax and score more persons,
 who have been employed several
 months, became jobIess.
 The special session of the legisla- ture will be necessary because appro- pria tions for the next four years were made based on an estimate of the revenue to be derived from this source and others.
 TWO MILLION DEFICIT
 While an official estimate was not available tonight. it was thought in official circles that ihe state govern lnent would run behind $2,000,0 ,000 or more during the next four years if no provision were made for the elimina- tion of the deficit ether by finding sources of revenue which will meet the limitations already effective, as the state is already carrying beavy floating debt. It Is certain that Gov ernor Kilby will call for the assist ence of the legislature in his efforts to obtain financial relief.
 State officials. and especially the
 state tax commission. in cOntem-
 lating an unfavOrabIe decision,
 had thought the state could auto-
 maticalIy levy a tax of 65 cents
 on each $10O of income if the su-
 preme court rendered the income
 tax sections invalid. Hut the court
 in It's opinion held that such could
 not he done without it's expressed
 authority of the legislature. This
 was the final knockout blow.
 In deciding this point. the court Leld that while income is property, and a tax within the limits of the constitution could bs levied. the legis- latures sanction would be necessary Answering the contention of the state that assessments against incomes could be made under the omnibus clause of the general revenue law, the majority said;
 "In the first place, the special treat rnent of incomes in separate sections negatives the idea of it's inclusion in any general clause like that; and. in the second place. it is a familiar rule that they are intended to include only such other things as are eiusdem gem eris. (Martin vs. State. 159 Alabama s9. 47 South. 104). In accordance with this rule it is held that express pro- vision must be made by the 1egis- lature for the assessment of incomes. ,Forman vs. IlAsrd of Assessors, 35 La Ann s25: a- Cvc S10-S,."
 TWO QUESTIONS DECIDED
 Two questions were decided by the court and they brought complete de- feat to the state.
 The first was: "Is income prop
 erty in the ordinary legal sense
 of the words'' and the second was.

 river service at St. Louis on April 19, w. D. Nes- bitt, who represented the governor of Alabama on that occasion, made brief reference to the vast stores of natural wealth hidden in the state. A mere recapitulation of these makes showing probably not equaled by any other state in the union and gives an idea of what may be accom- plished in Alabama with the application of intel ligence industry and capital.
 Here are just few of the high spots touched by MT. Nesbitt in his speech:
 DeSoto searched for gold in the rivers of Ala, bama. He failed to understand the gold is in the flowing waters and not in or under the beds of the rivers, such as transportation hydro electric power, food and fertilization. 1ss
 A1abama's opportunities and obligations: Natural assets undeveloped, coal, iron ore, flux; cement, fire clay, marble, timber, fertile lands. Assets developed iron, steel, cement, fire brick; hollow tile.
 Products manufactured on and near the War rior river: Marble slabs and blocks, iron pipe, structural steel and iron, ship plates and girders finished ships; wire, drawn and woven; yarns cloth, rosin, turpentine, finished wooden ar ticles, including wooden ships; cotton seed meal hulls and fibre, cotton seed oil, peanut oil and products of the farn1-hay corn, cotton hogs, cattle and various other crops and live stock
 The Warrior river, he said, now has a moving capacity of 22OO0 tons month, which, with full equipment, would be increased to several mil lion tons annually, and that because of the lack of equipment, 10,20O tons of freight had been re- fused within ninety days
 The work of building locks on the Warrior river, he said, began in 1888 and with the com pletion of Lock IT, in 1917, the government had expended $12,000,000 in opening the river to navigation for totallength of 438 miles. Lock l8 to be built an early date, he said would cost between S1,3OO000 and S18000OO according to estimates of government engineers. and the people of the world opportunities for the use of and en- r!chmen b the further development of and trade the riches of the Warrior river and that the this end through the of the states great zenry than 92 per cent of whom are native born Anglo-Saxons.

SHOULD BE JAILED

The need of drastic action by gov ernmental agencies in the enforce ment of the laws we now have has been increasingly evident for months. We already have laws against profi- teering. If those charged with enforce ment of these laws will see that the profit holders are sent to jail, prices will soon tumble"
 Senator Lenroot, republican, Wis consin, declared that if "a single mil lionaire were sent to Leavenworth under the laws now on the books, some of this profiteering would be stopped"
 Attorney General Palmer" he said, Ifs setting a few mousetraps around the country when he ought to be set ting beartraps. Not one thing Is done to the big profiteers.
 Take the case of sugar. By laws on the statute books, by additional legislation passed, last winter. the ad- ministration was empowered to con- trol the situation fully. The President enlarged that power and the same situation exists that the senator from Kansas describes.
