AN AMENDMENT Favored
BY FITZHUGH.

The present Republican administra'
tion has proposed an amendment te
the constitution Of the United States
authorizing the Federal government
to levy and collect an income tax or
the interest accruing and paid on al
bonds issued by states, counties, cities
school districts, drainage districts
and irrigation districts, authorized by
state authority.
Under the constitution as it now
stands, the interest on all such bonds
is not subject to income tax. All such
bonds are only issued for public pur-
poses, such as the building of court
houses, jails, insane asylums, bridges,
public roads and other public i'm
provements. No tax collected by the
state taxing authority on such bonds
or on the interest accruing on them.
The result has been that such tax-free
bonds can be sold at par at lower
rate of interest than can any other
kinds of bonds. This results in enab-
ling states, counties and cities to con-
truct such public improvements for
much less money than would other
wise be possible, as all such bonds,
principal, interest, must be paid out
of taxes collected from the people. Any
change in the present law so as to tax
incomes by way of interest on such
bonds will ultimately largely increase
the cost of all such necessary public
improvements, at least to the amount
of the income tax collected. The real
result will be to increase the taxes OF
the people to the extent that the in
terest income Is thus taxed. In this
way the rich that now now invest in
tax-free securities will not, in fact,
pay any more taxes than they now do,
as the taxes collected from them will
in fact be paid by the increasing in
terest rates that they will receive
more than they now receive on the
money invested in the new bonds. The
rich man who now escapes taxes will
be still in effect tax free, for the reas
on that he will receive additional in
terest to the extent of the income tax
es he will have to pay.
This proposed amendment is
scheme to increase the market value
of railroad bonds and other bonds, the
income from which is now subject to
the Federal income tax, by subjecting
the interest incomes on state, county
and municipal bonds to the same rate
Of income tax now paid on railroad
and aU1her spfiyate :iuvest1nent bonds.
In this way the private railroad bonds
and other private bond issues can
compete in the security markets with
state, county, city and all other bond
issues but the taxpayers of states,
counties and cities will be subjected to
additional taxation, but not for the
public good, but in order that the own
ers Of private bonds issued for bust
ness purposes and for private profit,
may have better market for their Sc
curities than they can now have in
competition with the untaxed securi-
ties that are issued solely for abso-
Lutte public necessities.
In his first real speech of the cam
paign for United States Senator,
Capt. G. T. Fitzhugh came out for this
amendment to the Federal constitu-
tion and against the soldier bonus.

Local FlyWeight Gets Return
Bout With Crescent City
Star

Claude Wilson, Birmingham's sem
sational young flyweight, will have
his chance to match his prowess
with that of Ashton Donna, the New
Orleans flash. again next week. for
B. A c. boxing officials have an
nounced return meeting between
these two youngsters at the local
club next Monday, September 25.
Wilson and Donna met at the B. A.
c. about two months ago, the local
lad staging a game battle to get
a draw with the New Orleans vet
eran. Fans who have been won
dering whether Claude Wilson is
really improving as his career az
vances will have tho chance to find
out Monday night, when Claude
meets Donna again.
Donna. as usual, is in the midst of
a campaign of ring battles, and Will
come here in as good shape as pos-
sible. Claude must be at his best
to get another draw, his friends
say, but there are some who believe
he can humble the Crescent City
glove pusher this tirle.
Claude Wilson and Freddie Boorde
go to a camp on Warrior river this
morning, remaining there until Sum
day. Wilson Will polish off for the
Donna bout, while Boorde will whip
himself Into shape for bouts he has
planned for the future.

bout, featuring Dave Evans Boys
club star, Big Boy Edwards. will be
arranged.

The court room was crowded with
interested spectators. but no demon

feet order prevailed. During yne
afternoon today, the defense intro

plea of insanity.
Dispositions by DR.. w. L. Greene,
specialist of Hot Springs, Ark,
which were read into the court rec
ords declared the defendant was in
sane during 1916 when he examined
him and ordered him confined In the
insane asylum at Little Rock. He
says this was done and to his knowl-
edge he was never discharged.
Discharge papers from the United
States navy were also read into the
records. The reason stated 1of ois-
charging was insanity and naval au-

the asylum during 1918 when he was
discharged.

The greatest JOY producer of all
was furnished when little Jess
