Conner Urges Strikers h he Legislature to
 Desist From Course
Says Their Action Is Dangerous-Tels Why He Is Opp posed to Return of System of Voluntary
 Assessment for Taxes

Dear Sirs: Your circular letter of October ', asking help to secure the passage of Longs bill. This bill. you write. as amended, provides that the office of tax ad1uster both county and state, be abolished and assess ments be made under the old way by the county assessor, subject to review by the board of county commissioners or board of revenue, and with right of appeal to the jury of the circuit court. and you ask if our representa- tives are not voting with you; that we urge them to join you and never quit the fight until Longs bill be- comes law. You further state that 36 members of the house have stood up in caucus and pledged themselves to estop all Legislation until Longs Dill becomes the law, and you add that you are sure If these 36 members will stick together blocking all lesisla- tion that the Long bill will acquire the necessary two-thirds vote.
 Answering this through the press, as l think it most dangerous posi- tion to take in legislative matters and vitally concerns the veal of the state. The original state tax equalization law was passed in 1907, the first year of my administration MT. Long was one of the administration leaders in the house and helped to pass not only ths law, which was a radical depar- ture from the old system, but also other most important remedial legis- lation accrueing to the benefit of the state.
 Accomplished Great Good
 The tax equalization bill was drawn by Messrs. Se1heimer and Judge Fort, both men of ability, and the law was made from the tax policies of the most advanced states and has ac- complshed the very greatest good of any legislation passed during my ad- mlnistration.
 "Under the long bill as described by Messrs. Farmer and Mull<ey, abol- ishing the state system of adjustment of taxes and going back to the origi- nal plan of practically individual vol. untary assessment which plan had been found. not only in Alabapa, but every other state. absolutely made quate and had brought about through the state the most unequal property assessments and tax values. It had been found that not only in dividuals. but counties, numbers of counties. were shirkers in their taxes. That. however altruistic we might lttl lOWaIu our HtlSHpoT lu dtiOWlHS him the conception of what might be due the state in the way of taxes and tax values was absolutely without utility when It came to Just equali- zation and fair equality of the tax values throughout the state. No plan has ever yet been found where tax values or property valuation can be left to the man who pays the taxes to be supervised by an officer who has been elected by the popular vote of the people to be taxed. and no method of subscription of any funds whatsoever has ever been found where men would voluntarily pay alike. In other words, the burden would be carried by the few and the amount collected would be amazingly small

R., B. Conner. former governor and former United States senator. yester- day made public letter he had writ ten to E. q. Farmer and w. O. Null key regarding the tax adjuster fili- buster which has been organlzeu in the legislature.
 While agreeing with these gcnt.e- men that state expenses should be cut where possible, Senator Conner says regarding the proposed strike in the Legislatures: This proposition is most dangerous, gentlemen, and l urge you to desist."
 Analyzing the proposed Long bill, which provides for abolishing the tax adjusters Senator Conner says the passage of the bill would be rever- sion to conditions which existed in Alabama prior to 1907 when the tax equalization law was enacted. He points out that the system of volun- tary Assessment will not work, that ii will not raise the necessary money. and that q few will have to bear the burden unjustly as was the case in years gone by.

FARMERS WIFE
 NEAR STARVED
Mrs, Peterson Suffered Awful Pains After Every Meal.

 Declaring she was actually starv- ing to keep from suffering awful misery. Mrs. Amy Peterson. wife of "a prosperous farmer of Lakeville. Mass, gave out a remarkable stare. ment recently. in connection with her relief through the use of Tan lac.
 Sometimes l wonder how l lived through it all" she said q would have attacks of acute indigestion nearly every time l ate anything. Those terrible cramping pains and the distress from gas and bloating were almost unbearable and I just thought there was no hope for me.
 "But now I'm eating anything and feel as strong and well as 1 ever felt in my life. I've gained back all the weight I lost and six pounds be- sides and l know from my expe- rience what Tanlac will do, It's the best medicine in the world"

VISIT
 UP 10 COMMITTEE
Secretary Writes Negro Preacher About Invitation
 to Make Speech

On october an old colored preacher, Rev. W. 1T. Hunt. long known to the residents of this sec- ton, wrote letter to President Warren C. Harding. in reference to a speech to be made to the negroes visits the city during the semi-cen- tennial.
 An answer to this letter was re- ceived yesterday afternoon, in which the chief executive stated that all arrangements were in the hands or the local committee.
 However, despair is hot in my makeup" stated the old darky last night, and notwithstanding that di- rect offerts have failed to secure the Presidents consent to make a speech, he intends to continue his efforts to that end.
 T want to do this to show the President chat both the whites and the negroes live tremendously to- gether here in this great city of Bir- mingham, and each have a mutual understanding as to where a negro's place is" stated Rev. Hunter last night.
 Tt is not with any selfish desire of the colored people that we want him to make a speech for us, but it is to show him, on our part, how easi- ly the race question can be settled be- tween the real southerner and the negro"
 Following Is the letter written by Rev. Hunter to President Harding and the letter received yesterday in reply from the Presidents private secretary, George B. Christian: Hon. MT. Warren G. Harding,
 "The Executive Head of the United
 Seates of America.
 Dear Sir: l am writing you Tn regard to your coming visit to our great city of Birmingham, Ala, ask ing of you Q humble request during your short stay here.
 That if suitable place and ar rangement be made would you kindly favor the colored citizens of Birming- ham 15 or 30 minute talk. As humble people we have the keenest interest in you and in your admin istration
 "I am quite sure that the said and humble request will meet the ap- proval of the white committee. As both white and colored citizens ot Birmingham live harmonously and peacefully here together, the interest of one has proven to be the interest of both where the best of feeling be- tween the two races exist.
 Thanking you in advance for aa early reply in the affirmative, l am sincerely yours, w. II. HUNT"
 The reply is as follows
 "October :. 1921.
 My Dear Sir: The President has received your letter of october 5, and while he very much appreciates your courtesy in the matter, he wishes me tt say that the arrangements in con nection with his visit to Birming- ham are entirely in the hands of the local committee. He asks me to thank you cordially for your kindness n writing to him. Sincerely yours,
