BESSEMER JAIL SCORED

Montgomery, February 8.-(SpeciaL)- Bessemer's city jail was severely criti- cised by the prison inspection bureau of the board of control in a report which was taken up by Governor Kilby Satur- day. The inspector stated the law is violated by the confinement of negro females in the same section with white men, being separated only by a small wooden partition. He recommended that changes be made at once. The inspector also told the governor the jail is not be- ing kept in the proper sanitary condi- tion, that walls and floors need scrubbmg and that bedding should be renovated.
 The Jefferson county board of revenue was commended for the condition of the Jail at Birmingham. Especial. commen- dation was given for the system of isolat- ing and treating prisoners affected with communicable diseases and it was stated this arrangement probably averted a serious epidemic of influenza in the jail

TEST OF INCOME TAX. LAW IS IMPORTANT
By FRED H. eoRMLEY

Montgomery, February 2s.-(Spe- cisI)-Is an income property? The correct answer to this question is worth s1,ooo.OOO this year and will continue to be worth s1,o0O.Ooo a year. If the answer Is No the state or Alabama will win a million dollars. If the answer is Yes thousands of citizens will win the million dollars.
 It is the big question to be answered by the courts in the attacks on the ln- come tax sections of the general reve- nue law of 1919. Business men of Bir- ningham, Montgomery and Selma who have combined to test the validity or the sections say income is property. The state says it is not within the legal interpretation of the eonstitu- ton. The supreme court of Alabama will be the final board of arbitration. The answer it gives will put million dollars in the state treasury yearly or will keep a million dollars in the pockets of those whose incomes are taxed by the sections.
 Alabama's constitution says taxation on property for state purposes shall be limited to 65 cents on $100. The income tax sections levy a tax of from s2 to $4 on each $100 person earns during q year above certain minimums permitted as exemptions. If income is property the assessments must be limited to 65 cents on each s100. If 1t Is not the legislature of 1919 had perfect right to make the levy against incomes.
 The question is expected to be an swered before the supreme court ad- journs June 30 for the summer recess. Two cases have been filed in Selma and will be heard during the next few days by Judge B. M. Miller. One case has been entered in Montgomery and will be considered by Judge Leon Mo Cord or Judge William L. Martin. Whatever the decision, each case will be carried to the supreme court as speedily as possible.
 Governor Kilbys plans for the fi- nancial rehabilitation of the state would receive a serious setback should unconstitutional; in other words, should the supreme court say "Yes" instead of "No' It Is estimated that incomes taxes will bring into the state treasury s1,000, ,000 a year, or s4000, 900 during the next four years. Appro- priations at the last session of the leg islature contemplated the collection of LnlS dD1OuHl.I th6 LdA pr III valid, if would be necessary to reduce appropriations or find other sources of income. Neither could be done with out a session of the legislature.
 Another serious setback would re- suit from an unfavorable decision to the state in the tonnage tax contest now pending. It is estimated that the tonnage taxes will place in the state treasury s500.00o a year. or one-half of the amount to be derived from in come taxs. This case also will be sub mitted to the supreme court in time for a decision before final adjourn ment for the term.
 Lawrence E. Brown, assistant attor- ney general, has been assigned to rep resent the state in the cases and he will give them his undivided atten- tion until the end. Governor Kilby and the states legal department re- gard the income tax and tonnage tax contests as the most important to the state ever handled by the attorney general.
