WHeH lHe court DeBlUS the ldll tNI ih in October.
 This is one of the test cases brought by the Alabama Tax Payers league in an effort to upset the tax laws enacted by the legislature in 1919. In holding section S4 of the revenue act to be invalid, Judge Jones said:
 "Every word and every part of section 214 (of the constitution) has a meaning and must be given effect and that neanig is that the legisla- ture of Alabama cannot arbitrarily no matter how shrewd the device re sorted to, tax the property of the tax payers of this state at greater rate than fixed by the constitution Sections 2l1 and 214 are incorporated in tho constitution for the protection of tax payers. It is the duty Of the court to be watchful of the constitu- tional rights of the citizens and 10 protect them in the enjoyment of the same.
 The court is compelled to hold that, under the constitution of Ala bama, the legislature has no power to fix the value of property. as it has done in the section providing for biennial valuations, and that the pro- visions of this section conflict with our organic law"

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am moth
ing but a slave, owned by my hus-
band. My word means nothing in
my home. 1 have no money ex-
cept that which is given me for
some article and l manage to save
by buying a cheaper article. All
that l seem to be good for is rails
ing children and keeping house.
We now have five children, the
oldest being II years old and the
Youngest five months. My husband
thinks he loves me, but l feel out OF
his life except for Shaving for him.
He is a smart man; goes to church
and reads a great deal and he be-
iieves himself to be leading a per-
feet life as he knows how. Some
times l get so desperate l feel that
/ must run away and be free from
the whole thing so that l can be
an individual again. If it were not
for the children l should certainly
eSca pc.
Even the children are taught not
to consult me about anything. Their
father has told them that it is his
word that counts and no matter
what l say to them they may do,
they may not do it unless they
have his sanction
What can l do to regain my in
dividuality? I have asked for an
allowance, but my husband abso-
lutely refuses to give me one. He
says that it gives him pleasure to
pay for the things l buy. He is
very strict and irritable about the
house We have a woman who
washes and scrubs once week,
but if the floors get dirty during
the week have to get down on my
hands and knees and scrub them
You can imagine that am kept
busy with five little children, the
homework and sewing. l have
asked for a maid because my hus-
band could afford to hire one, but
he refuses that, too.
Please try to help me-

the tyranny of her husband and
yet have means of support for her
self and children. 1t is possible to
get a divorce and alimony now,
but the result IS rarely satisfactory
because it is so easy for the hus-
band to escape his obligations.
There is little l can say to COM
fort you. / would advise you to
adjust yourself to things as they
are in most matters. You married
an extremely selfish man and now
you will have TO live out the result
of your act. You can be miserable
and bitter if you will let yourself,
things and keep a song in your
heart you will be happy in spite Of
your husbands mastery.
In regard to overtaxing yourself
in the home, 1 would advise you to
firmly refuse to do what it is unjust
for you to do. With so many tasks
to perform, think it is unjust and
harmful to your health to have to
scrub the floor. When you are
tired out go to bed and say that
you are sick. Let your husband
manage as best he can and If you
give him a good taste of house
work and caring for five children
he may learn That it would be bet
ter to hire a maid A great deal
more can be gained by quietly go
ing to bed when you do not feel you
should do a task than by arguing
Respect yourself and take care
of yourself Your husband will
love you all the more when he finds
you are not his housekeeper.
"a Plaything": Your motive in
marrying was all right because you
sacrificed yourself to save your
mother. Now 1 think You should
try your best to love your husband
and to keep his love Your two
children are enough to bind you
together. Although the poor little
baby was not wanted, it is here and
is entitled to the love of its par
ents. Talk to your family physi-
clan and ask him the question you
have asked me- 1t is something
cannot answer.
