 OF MORE REVENUE
Proposed Tax Would Include Turpentine, Oil, Coal, Iron

STATE CAPITAL BUREAU |
 THE AGE-HERALD Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 30 J

Fearing that the four-mill tax for public education will not be levied Representative Will o. Walton of Chambers and Senator George w. Duncan of Limestone will introduce in the legislature Friday a bill pro- posing a severance tax of three per cent of the market value of all prod ucts taken from the soil, waters and forests of Alabama.
 Senator Duncan for several months has made a study of the severance tax laws of other states and declared that he believed the tax proposed by the bill will be a fair one and will produce revenue sufficient to meet the needs of the state.
 The tax will be levied on all nat ural resources, including timber, tur- Iron, ore, bauXite limestone, marble graphite, sand, gravel, shrimp and oysters
 Revenue Now Needed.
 Every person severing natural re- sources would be required to make a monthly report to the state audi tor and pay the state the tax based on the market value during the pre- Vious month. The state tax com mission would be given supervision over the collection of the tax.
 Tt is necessary for the state to obtain additional revenue" said Mr. Walton, who will handle the bill in the house. The report of the budget commission will show that the reve- nue bill will now bring in sufficient revenue to meet the demands of the state. The severance tax, l believe IS the fairest which can be levied It IS tax upon the removal of the natural resources which were placed Tn Alabama by Providence and which, when once removed, can never be of benefit to the public again"

THURSTON'S HITTING

,sss AS SOX OUTFlELDER
Greatness in Box Not Like
ly Because OF Lack of
lsh Good Fast Ball.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 29.-Most big
league twirlers are poor batsmen. But
this does not hold good for Pitcher
Thurston of the Chicago White Sox.
He's such a dangerous man at the
bat that the White Sox are seriously
thinking of converting him into an
outfielder or trying him out at first
base.
Manager Kid Gleason Of the Chi
cago White Sox considers Thurston
one of the best relief pitchers in the
big show. Had he better fast ball
be would be regular starter for the
White Sox. He has a most deceptive
fadeaway, a good curve and fine
change of pace, but his fast ball lacks
a pit of zip
Thurston is the pitcher who re-
Gently retired the Philadelphia team
on nine successive strikes i'll one in
ming. all of the pitches being called
or struck at and missed.
Thurston is a good hitter and
good bitters are scarce. The White
Sox lack a punch, and it wouldn't
be at all surprising if the team tried
to use Thurston at some position
where it could take advantage OF
his hitting next spring.
