 Users of motor vehicles will pay a tax of cents on every gallon of gasoline or other motor fuel they consume when the senate Unsurpassed the Ashcraft bill which was passed by the house by a vote of 19 to 14 Wednesday. The money will be pro- rated equally among the 67 counties and will be used in the construction and maintenance of lateral roads connecting with the system which will be constructed by the state and federal government.
 Before passing the bill the house struck from it a provision whereby the state highway department would have received 50 per cent of the tax and counties 50 per cent In adopting this amendment the house disregard ed the view of the administration which urged that the state highway department be given one-half of the funds for the maintenance of the system of state and federal aid roads. The debate continued a greater part of the morning but those favoring the disbursement of the fund by the counties were able to muster 73 votes while those favoring the adminis- tration proposal could obtain only 30.
 The amendment giving all the gas oline tax to the counties was offered by Representative St. John of Gull man, while the opposition was led by representative Ashcraft of Lau- derdale, author of the bill, and Rep resentative Alfred M. Tunstall Of Hale.
 Much of the opposition to the pro- posal for the distribution of all the taxes to the county resulted from the provision giving each county the same amount. Many members insist ed that small county should not receive the same amount as Jeffer- son which pays into the automobile fund about one-fourth of the amount obtained from automobile licenses and which consumes about one fourth of the gasoline sold in Ala bama. However, this argument and no other had any weight with the members who proposed that the money should be used by the county board of revenue in the construction of the lateral roads
 Those who voted to give the coun- ties all the money follow: Adams. Adcock, Allen, Ashcraft of Fayette, Blackwell, Brown. l.. k; Boykin.

PASSAGE OF FARM AID MEASURE BY. SENATE IS ASSURED
War Department Appropria- ton Bill to Be Considered Next, With Subsidy Then
 on Deck

WASHINGTON. Jan. 31.-Passage by the Senate Friday of the Len root-Anderson farm credits bill. the second and last on the farmer relief program, was regarded as cer- tain today by an agreement for a vote on that day and the over whelming defeat of motion for recommital.
 The agreement proposal was of fered by Senator Swanson, democrat, Virginia, after conferences with lead CTS on both sides, but was adopted only after Senator Lenroot, repub- lican, Wisconsin, had threatened to hold the Senate in session tonight.
 After disposing of the credit meas ure the Senate will take up the war department appropriation bill with the shipping bill following on the program. Considerable debate on the army budget is predicted with the possibility that oponents of the shipping bill will use it, as it has been charged they have the farm credit legislation as buffer against the shipping measure.

 THE AGE-HERALD Mont nn.,,arE Ale, IDn Qf

The supreme court of Alabama will determine without delay whether or not the state may issue bonds for the development of the seaport at Mo- bile if the senate passes the Ware bill which was passed by the house by a vote of "A to 15 Wednesday. The bill provides that the governor may request the supreme court for an advisory opinion regarding the validity of any constitutional amend ment already adopted and that the legislature may certify any amend ment proposed to the supreme court for an advisory opinion.
 Representative J. Lee Long of But Ter opposed the bill. contendng that it was not fair to the court to force it to render an opinion before a case is brought before it in the regular way. Representative Ware, author of the original bill, and Representa- tive Cunningham of Mobile made ad- dresses in support of the measure.
 Word "Solemn. Stricken.
 No real opposition was shown to the proposal at any time. Represent ative St. John offered an amend ment, which was adopted, striking out that portion of the bill which provided that opinions could be re- quested of the supreme court "on solemn occasions" Mr. St. John said nobody knew what is solemn oc- casion."
 The terms of the bill provide that the opinion of the supreme court rendered at the request of the gov ernor or legislature shall be advisory only and for the guidance of those interested and shall not be binding on the court if further investigation develop the fact that any opinion is incorrect.
 Finance Measure Passes.
 The house also passed Represent ative Groves bill giving counties the right to extend the time for the pay ment of interest bearing warrants issued for the construction of high way and bridges. If this bill IS passed by the senate many counties in Alabama. including Mobile, will be able to carry through refinancing program. A large number of coun- ties now have or soon will have in terest-bearing warrants due and will have no funds with which to meet the warrants. Tl,e purpose of the bill is to permit the county to issue new interest bearing warrants or ex- .end those already issued.

BROOKHART LEADS STRUGGLE AGAINST
 OLD GUARD GROUP
Ford Prominently Mentioned in Connection With Fore shadoWed Fight Govern
 ment Ownership Issue
WASHINGTON BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD Washington. D. C., Jan. S1 ]

That the so-called radicals" will not hesitate to present third ticket in 1924, provided they can not secure concessions from either the democrats or republicans, is held by campaign committees of both the republican and democratic parties to be highly probable.
 The idea gains ground that the "radicals" will be more insistent on a government ownership concession in the platforms of the old parties than on any other one issue. It is admitted by certain senators, said to be connected with the "radicaP' blocs, that government ownership of railroads will be the big question in the next Congress, and that, ir- respective of what action Congress might take, it will be ripe for the campaign of 1924.
 Favors Federal Ownership
 Senator Smith Brookhart of Iowa, regarded by conservatives as the most radical member of Congress, is preparing a bill to take the place of the Escn Cummins act. Its main provisions:
 CD Repeal of the transportation act of 1920; CD Fixing rates on a total valuation of s12,000, 900, 900 rather than S20,000. .000, 900. the fig

ure fixed by the interstate commerce commission; (3) Abolishing the rail- way labor board; (4) Placing greater power in the hands of the interstate commerce commission in the regula- tion of railway purchases and ex- pendltures; (5) Restoration to the several states full control over freight rates, and sets aside the Shreveport decision which tends to prevent alleged discrimination as be- tween interstate and intrastate rates.
 Is Opening Gun
 The railroads are alredy informing Congress that the Brookhart bill may be considered the opening gun in the government ownership campaign Railroads contend that it would so break down railroads that it would be necessary for the government to take them over. If such prediction conjures up fear in the minds of Brookhart, LaFollette, Norris, Ladd and others, neither has made admis- sion to such effect.
 On the contrary, Brookhart makes the following statement: If the rail- roads were honestly and efficiently managed it would be possible to re- duce rates-without touching wages. I am going after the people that sell iron and steel to the railroads and stop the graft I am in accord with Henry Ford in believing that railroad stocks and railroad stock holders should be wiped out. My bill is designed to break the hold of Wall street on the railroads"
 Refers To Ford
 Brookhartis reference to Henry Ford is not without significance, ac- cording to politicians of both political faiths. It Is declared that Ford's friends will seek the nomination of both the democratic and republican parties, and that should they fail, they will run the manufacturer on an independent ticket. This would be in accord with what seem to be the plans of the radical element of Con- gress.
 It is contended here that the can didacy of Ford or any other inde- pendent would be more rulnous to republican than democratic prospects; for while the south would continue to support the democratic ticket. the west would. from all signs, respond with sympathy to the preachments of the radicals.
 And to win. the republicans must depend on the republican states of Mjchi gan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana.

Counties Get Gasoline Tax
 Under Bill Passed by Senate

Those who desired to give the state 50 per cent of the money fellow: Speaker, Arlington, Ashcraft of Lauderlale, Balle, Bowen, Lewis, Burns, Christian, Coleman, Culver, Deloney, Embry, Forman, Goode, Graves Howze, Jeter, Patterson, Powell, Rives, Rountree.

 Those not voting: McGewen, Ruth erford, Sanders of Conecuh.
 St. John Amendment
 Addresses were made in support of the St. John amendment giving the counties all the tax by St. John, Parker Cook, Glover, Burton, Long, Walton, Poole, Halter. Sollie.
 Those who made addresses ins oppo- sition Lo'the propo sal were represent tatives Jeter, Ashcraft of Lauderdale, Powell, Culver Tunstail and Goode.
 Representativ tive Tunstall, the vet eran leg islator of Hale, had to resort to his knowledge of parliamentary rules in order to get the floor after the previous question had been or dered but when he did he warned the members of the legislature that it is
 
 quate means for the support of the state system of highways if the S25, 000,0 900 bond issue is not wasted.
 TunstaIl's Warning
 He declared that fatal error will be made if the law makers dc not give the state a portion of the gaso- line tax and permits it's use in the maintenance of the system of roads about to be constructed by the state and nation. This bond issue is the peoples money" said Mir. Tunstall, and it will be wasted unless means are provided for the maintenance cf the roads. Of course, the adoption of the amendment giving the counties all the funds from the gasoline tax will bring temporary plaudits from the people but the day will come when all will realize that a far sighted policy would have cared fer the money which the people made available through the bond issue. It will not be long when those plaudits will be turned to condemnation"
 Graves Amendment
 Mir. Tunstall told the legislators it should be kept in mind that the bond issue constitutional amendment guarantees every county at least $250, O00 Tor the coHSlFucllon ol HlsH- ways connecting county seats, thus making certain that the bond issue will be used for the development of roads in all counties.
 Before the bill was passed Graves of Tallapc osa offered an amendment striking the word '.kerosene' from the bill. The original bill provided that the tax should be collected on kerosene and motor fuels. The house adopted the amendment.
 Representative Howell of Walker offered an amendment reducing the gasoline tax from ? to cent per gal lon but the amendment was laid on the table with loud acclaim.

 WITHOUT RESERVATIONS
