While here MT. Will Hams was the guest of Clyde Hem drix, director of the Alabama Bureau.

Since the tobacco men have adopted cooperation methods he pointed out AS pounds of tobacco will purchase for the grower what it formerly required 100 pounds to buy. With lack of cooperative methods 1t takes 125 bushels of wheat to buy for the grower what 100 bushels formerly bought, he said. The cotton farmer now gets for 75 pounds of cotton what 1t formerly re- quired 100 pounds to purchase, he declared.
 Allen Northington, manager of the Alabama Bureau, who spoke also, declared Alabama lost S15, 100000 in 1922 by failure to properly cooper ate.

MERCY SHOWN BY
 SOLONS TO STATE I AK COMMISSION
State May Send Representa- tive Into Counties Where
 Records Are Improper
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD ! Montgomery, Ala, July 24

MemberS of the house of repreSen- tatives showed some mercy to the state tax commission before it passed the bill creating the machinery for the assessment and collection of taxes Tuesday afternoon. The house ac cepted an amendment by Represen- tative D. T. Ware of Randolph which gave the tax commission authority to send it's representative into county IT convinced from reasonable infor- nation that the tax assessments made by the board of review were not proper and were out of line with other assessments in the counties.
 All members of the house agreed to the amendment. It seemed as if the two factions which showed up dur ing the discussion of the revenue bill last week had held a et-together meeting Every representative of the xecutive department were pleased over the turn of affairs and expressed the opinion that this means an ad- justment of the differences on the revenue measure.
 Only One Negative Vote.
 When the amendment was adopted the house passed the machinery bill by vote Of 75 to l.
 Representative John M Snodgrass of Jackson voted against it.
 Those recorded as absent and not voting were Adcock, Allen, Arlington, Lewis Bowen, Culver Elliot, DsTrel. Guy Hall, Hampton, Hawkins, Hem ley, Howze, Lee, Lemaistre, Luck. Melton, Mooneyhan, Moorer, Moxley, Parker, Pickens, Posey, Rives, San ders Pil5e), Smith (Jefferson) Smith Oee), Sollie, Walton.
 Under the bill as it went to the senate from the house, the county board of review which will check the tax assessments made by the tax as sessor will be composed of the court of county commissioners and the tax assessor. This board of reveiew must mak reports of it's findings to the state tax commission and the tax commission, if not satisfied may send representative into the county to work with the board of review in the equalization of taxes. The au- thority of the tax commission as given by the Ware amendment re- stricts the work of the representative of the tax commission because he can appear only in an advisory capa- city before the county board of re- view. However, since he may be sent into the county to work with the county board, he may be able to show the board where in changes should be made in it's findings regarding tax assessments.
 No speech was made either for or against the machinery bill. when it was called up for passage. The Ware amendment was adopted without a word being utteered in explanation. Then the house passed to the con sideration of the bill proper.

KILBY PRISON COST ALABAMA
 $2,O42,875.18, REPORT SHOWS.
Examiners Of Accounts Make Known Exact Financial Con- ton Of State
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU ]
 THE AGE-HERALD } Montgomery. Ala. July 24 J

k1ipy prison will cost the state S2.042,875.18 eXcusive of the amount represented by the labor of conVicts on the prison property. according to a report of the department of eX- aminers of accounts which was read Co the members of the house of rep resentatives Tuesday afternoon by Alfred M. Tunstall of Hale.
 Mir. Tunstall also read another re- port of the examiners which said they had warrants and liabilities totaling s2,262,971.21 at the beginning of the last fiscal year October ], 1922.
 The reports were submitted to the recess committee on finance and tax ation which prepared the revenue bill. In reading them, Mir. Tunstall said he felt the people should have the in formation about the site government and he did not desire to reflect upon any person.
 "Conflicting statements have been made about the condition of the state and about the cost of Kilby prison,' said MT. Tunstall. In the preparation of the revenue bill, the recess com mittee felt that it should have ac- curate information. It desired to known what portion of the states income during the past four years went into permanent improvements in order that it might consider this in arriving at the needs of the state during the next four years. It, of course, regarded the investment at Kilby prison as permanent improve nent and noth a continuing eXpen- diture which should be cared for in the future"
 MT. Tuustall said the examiners re- port showed that the total invest ment in Kilby prison at the time the report was made was $1,SS9.214 and that other necessary expenses would run the total cost to $2.042,S75.1S, eX- elusive of the investment in labor made by state convicts which would not be included in the report. Mir. Tunstall sai dthe investigation of the examiners showed that the states total liabilities at the close of the fiscal year September 30, 1918, which was a little more than three months before Governor Brandon went into office were S2. 2.262,97L21.
 Tn other words, after four years the state was about $300000 worse off" commented Mir. Tunstall.
 He said the general fund borrowed money from the special highway fund to the amount of $f,S73,412.S1 and that ultimately this money must be returned to the special fund.
 Representative James NJ. Parker of Coosa asked MT. Tunstall if the recess committee on finance and taxation believed the states interests could be protected under the new revnu bill.
 "The recss committee believed the bill as presented to the house would yild sufficint revenue to care for the state expenditures" said MT. Tun- stall. However, he did not indicate whether or not he believed that bill as passed by the house would yield sufficient revenue.
