 one-half of the revenue which will come from the tax of 2 cents a gal Ion on gasoline and other motor fuels will go into the general fund of the state treasury. After a battle which continued most of Thursday after noon. the house concurred in the re- port of the committee of conference. which recommended that the tax be divided equally between the state and the counties. The vote was 59 to 40.
 After the state has taken it's half, the remainder will be apportfoned equally among the counties for the use of the boards of revenue in con structing and maintaining public roads and bridges.
 It took the senate only few, min utes to adopt the recommendation Of the committee of conference as the report carried out the ideas of the senate which amended the bill so as 10 give the general fund one-half ot the revenue. But when the report reached the house the battle started and eontinud until nearly [ o'clock when the report was concurred in after Representative Tunstall of Hale had told the house Governor Barndon had informed the committees that ad- ditional revenue was necessary.
 St. John Opposed.
 Representative St. John of Cullman sought non concurrence, contending that the communities should be called upon to deliberate further and the house should instruct it's represent atives to favor giving the entire rev. enue to the counties. He contended that the tax on gasoline would be unjust when used for any purpose other than road building and the act Of taxing persons who use gasoline to meet the general expenses of the state was lkened unto the act of a r9bber in holding up the people on th public highway.
 He ccntended that the financial condition of the state is not as bad as it has been pictured and stated it is possible the figures have been jug gled. Tn lis fight against the ac- ceptance of the senate amendment, contending that all constructive leg islation is obtained by compromise. that the counties will receive the greater portion of the revenue be- cause the state will bear all cost of collection and that with the senate amendment each county will receive from $S,O00 to s12,0o0 yearly for road work.

bOARD'S RIGHT IN RAILROAD STATION CASES QUESTIONED ]
Court Restricts Right of Com. mission to Force Building of New Stations-At-
 taIIa Affected
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD ! Montgomery, Ala, Feb. 8

When a railroad station now in use may be remodeled to meet the needs If the public service commits sion of Alabama has no authority to order the railroad to destroy the station and erect another, under a day in the case of the Alabama Great Southern vs. the commission, involv- ing the construction of station at Attalla.
 This case has been pending before the commission and the court for several years. The commission or dered the railroad to construct an- other station. The supreme court not only reversed the decision of the Montgomery circuit court which up- held the commission but rendered a decision holding the commission had exceeded the authority granted by the legislature. It is the first time the right of the commission t6 order the construction of new station has been successfully assaled in the courts.
 The opinion in the case was writ ten by Justice Ormond Somerville and was concurred in by Chief Jus tice Jonn C. Anderson and Associate Justices Thomas C. Mcclellan ana William H. Thomas.
 In holding that the commission could not require the railroad to dc more than remodel it's station at At talla the opinion of the court said:
 Opinion of Court
 I've think the commission is without authority to require the con struction of an entirely new building involving the abandonment or de- struction of the building already in use. When by remodeling and by en- largement and improving that build ing a building can be provided which is adequate in all respects nothing more can be required. We do not think it was the purpose of the legis- lature 10 authorize the commission to impose upon railroad companies expenses or losses not reasonably necessary for practical adequacy and efficiency and which are de- signed merely for the satisfaction of local popular pride or place of more imposing and attractive archi- lecture"

 gs in the democratic party came

 reG.
 Robinson Had Pledges
 It was predicted three weeks ago by this bureau that Senator Sim mons would retire. It was a fore- gone conclusion that Senator J. T. Re binson of Arkansas. would be elected. He had pledges from 23, or a majority of the democratic sena- tors who will sit in the next Con gress.
 Friends of Senator Simmons in the beginning were sanguine in their hope of his success, subsequently, they attacked the opposition through New York and North Carolina news papers and indirectly prospect of his defeat was attributed to Senator Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama, re- tiring leader. It was stated in these newspaper stories" seemingly in- spired, that Senator Underwood had become incensed years ago because Senator Simmons declined to permit as high tariff rate on the products of the Birmingham district as Sena- tor Underwood desired. Senator Un- derwood declined te comment on these attacks, although it is a mat ter of record that the products of the Birmingham district, at Underwood's suggestion, were placed on the free list.
 Senator Simmons had the promise of the support Of all the senators on the Atlantic seaboard, including Smith and Dial of South Carolina and Harris and George of Georgia Senator Heflin of Alabama was like wise included in his column.

 This is a very gratifying result" said the report, but feature much more gratifying is that it represents a complete response to the borrow ing demands upon the system and that it shows a steady and normal flow of business by months.
 Tn view of the fact that the year has been one of very considerable borrowing demands, we believe it may be accepted as measuring the maximum call upon the banks and as demonstrating their capacity to respond to such demand under any except very unusual and extraordi- nary conditions"

THE GERMAN SORE

All agree that the settlement of
the German reparations problem is
the keynote to reconstruction of
stability in European economic af-
fairs. In this the world has share
indirectly where not directly. For
these reasons unusual interest at
taches to the proceedings at Paris
where the Allies are trying to arrive
at some workable arrangement, with
slim chance Of success.
They are dealing with country
which from the first has evaded
every obligation it possibly could, a
country that evinces no greater re-
spect for it's pledges than in the days
when it invaded Belgium. One may
we'll be suspicious of any agree
ment it suggests. One easily might
understand the feeling which was
aroused in France by suggestion to
agree each to submit question of
peace and war to referendum.
Where is there Imagination so wild
as to think of Germany taking re-
ferendum before going to war? Sure
ly not in France, that promptly re-
fuses the proffer. There is reason to
suspect that Germany's purpose in
making the proposal was to en-
barass France in the negotiations
now going on in Paris to determine
whether a way will be found to
make Germany pay that which she
is Obliged to pay or submit to con-
troll.
1t is said that if France takes con-
troll of the Ruhr region it will bring
about the economic downfall of
Germany and that in her fall she will
pull down others. On the other hand
no one can give any assurance that
she will not come to crash if let
alone. The bloated spiders that have
are now said to be working for the
restoration Of monarchy. They
have converted the misery of their
unfortunate countrymen into coin
and so far as possible seem to have
shipped the coin out of the country.
1t remains to be seen whether they
really wish to put the country into
bankruptcy.
1t is possible SHINES and his like
hold Germany in affection and are
patriots at heart. but so much of the
information as reaches this country
does not support that conclusion.
