SETTLEMENT OF
 CORPORATIONT TAX . MAY BE EFFECTED
Very Little Variance Expect ed From Previous Assess mentS-BookS of Com
 panieS Being Examined

Final settlement of the controversy between the state tax commission and five of the largest corporations of the Birmingham district over the amount of ad valorem taxes due by these concerns on their Jefferson county property for 1920. involving assessments on approximately $25.- 100000 worth of property. will prob ably be made next week, according to officials yesterday.
 John S. Mooring, chairman of the state tax commission, and the other members of that body who have been in Birmingham for several weeks, going over the books of the concerns affected with representatives of the companies and the Jefferson county tax adjusters, expect that final set dement's with the companies will show very little variance from the original assessment of $25.000,Ooo which was set aside some time ago and led to the litigation between the tax commission and the corporations over right of the former to examine the books of the latter, which right was upheld by the supreme court.
 Books of the Alabama company, the Republic Iron and Steel com pany and the Gulf States Steel com- pany have already been examined, and those of the Woodward Iron company are now being gone over, and will be completed Monday, ac- cording to expectations of the state and county officials. Examination of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company records will be begun Tues day, it is expected, after which it is probable that final settlements on all of the concerns affected will be made, followed by payments by the corporations of the taxes due. Sev- eral hundred thousand dollars in taxes are expected 10 be paid into the state and county treasuries as a result of the settlement of the tax controversy.

 Very Youthful
 The statesman, by the way, was only 27 years old at that time. Yes terday he entrusted the picture of the secession banquet with the ban quet given last year by the United Daughters of the Conefderacy at Montgomery to celebrate their dedi- cation of the Jeff Davis home which they have acquired. At that ban quet, everything was quite modern and of course, all styles were vastly different from those of the Civil war. also missed the poppoig of cham pagne corks''
 General Inzer has lived in one house in Ashville B years. He ob- tained his first law license shortly after he was of age, and practieed law up to two years ago. taking cases over all of Alabama. Many times he used to ride here to court at old Ely ton before Birmingham became at all precocious.
 Rose Rapidly
 Judge Inzer is not only the only surviving member of the secession convention, which included 100 mem bers-but is probably 1the youngest member of that group. He ,com- menced active war service at Shiloh, Tenn, serving in the Army of Ten nessee. It has been declared that "he lived up fully to the measure of duty in reconstruction days, and that he had knowledge of the Ku Klux Klan and it's workings"
 Here are other henors the old gen tleman bears as lightly and as mod estly as his years: Probate judge of St. Clair county at age of 25. Entered Confederate army as private and the Thirty second and Fifty-eighth Alabama regiments, consolidated. Ap- pointed probate judge by Governor Parson. Was in the constitutional convention of Alabama in 1875. Ap- pointed brigadier- general by Cover nor Houston of Alabama in 1876 of the Seventh Alabama militia brigade. Reappointed by Governor Cobb and again by Governor O'Neal. Ap- pointed judge of Sixteenth judicial circuit court of Alabama in 1907 by Governor Conner, and elected with out opposition.
 It is interesting that General 1n- zer's first law license was signed by John G. Shorter, who later became governor of Alabama.
