and should be avoided by saving and economies. Your committee deliber- ately recommends a tax programme to meet ordinary expenditures on the present scale. assumes that a reason able measure of retrenchment and reductions will be accomplished"
 From the standpoint of revenue" the report added the most import ant changes recommended are:
 Repeal Excess Profit Tax
 The repeal of the excess profits tax, which would reduce the revenue about $400O00.O00 annually; the re- peal of the surtaxes in excess of 32 per cent, involving an immediate loss of from s80,o00.000 to s90,000, 900 a year; the repeal of the capital stock tax, involving an annual loss of about S75. 1000. 900; the reduction of the transportation taxes by one-half on January 1, 1922, and their final re- peal as of December 31, 1923, involv- ing reduction of $t31.000,0 900 during the calendar year 1922 and an event Ial loss of $262,000.000 per year; and
 he adoptlOn or an auuilloHdl Incoule tax upon corporations of per cent, which would increase the revenue lbout S260, 900 annually.
 "The excess profits tax has been so thoroughly discussed that it is unnecessary to state at length the reasons which have led your commit tee to recommend it's repeal The time for discussion is past and the time to repeal the tax has arrived
 Regarding surtaxes the report said:
 Your committee recommends re- duction of the maximum surtaN from 65 per cent to 32 per cent in the be- lief that in the near future the lower surtax will, by stimulating sales and profit taking, and by making possi- ble transactions now blocked by ex- cessive surtax rates, not only faclll- tate needed business readjustments but actually increases the revenue, In the long run, in the opinion of your committee, the ,32 per cent rate will yield more revenue than the s5 per cent rate"

By FRED H. GORMLEY Montgomery Bureau. The Age-HeraId. 221-2 First National Bank Building

On this day the tax collection season will start and all county tax collec- tors will begin the work of gather Ing in the funds for the support of the state and counties during the year. which will end September 30, 1922.
 The state tax commission and the county taxing authorities will not be influenced by the decision of the Montgomery circuit court holding that section S4 of the revenue law of 1919 is unconstitutional and in valid and that another assessment for taxation for the fiscal year of 1921 must be made. This decision is not final and will be appealed to the supreme court for final decision. ! If the supreme court should up- hold the decision of tn lower court |ADQ rule that the nus been violated by the section which provides for biennial assessment for taxation it will be necessary for the taxing authorities to make a new assessment of all property in Ala hama. This will involve weeks of hard work.
 New Financing Record
 Alabama has esta blished a new rec ord this year in financing. Not only has 1t not been necessary for the gov ernment to place a loan, but every non-contingent appropriation has met and there has been no need for the issuance of all of the funding bonds totaling more than $900, 900, which were authorized by the legisla- ture of 1919 to replace those which became due in 1920.
 In addition, the state has met the appropriations for permanent im- provements such as the construction of the home for mental interiors at Tuscaloosa the training schools at the various normal schools, and has done the preliminary work on the penitentiary which is be!ng CT ected at Camp Sheridan near Montgomery.
 New records will be opened by the . accounting departments of the state, the auditors office and the state treasury, next Saturday. and work will be started at once on the an nual reports for the fiscal year of 1921. The work of preparing tre re- ports will take several weeks. and after this 1t will be several weeks before the state printers can com plete the task of putting the reports in book form for distribution to the public. The delay in printing the reports generally is due to the fact that blank forms and other records which cannot be delayed take prece- dence over the annual reports.
