AUSTRALIA MAkES' r F|GHT 0N ALCOHOL.
Vets In Fight Against Prohi- bition Use Same Arguments
 As Used In America
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE .AttE-HERALD Mnnf00mary Ala Nov oS

The spirit of prohibition and total aridity has penetrated to remote Aus tralia and the demon rum appears to be on the verge of making what may be his last stand in the land of the kangaroo and the eucalyptus. according to information contained in an Australian publication received today at the state department of agri- culture.
 The publication in question is an agricultural magazine, and was not sent to the department of agriculture to give information on the prohibit tion question, but full page adver- tisement which it carries spoke, to an American, eloquently of the situ- ation in Australia than much edi- torial matter might have done. The ad was devoted to an appeal to the Australian voter to vote wet at an impending election and contained the same sort of argument which sought to appeal to the intelligence of the American voter few years ago. As in America, so in Australia, the subtle citizenry who made living dispensing rye and rum have sought to appeal to the sense of self-preser- vation, and the pocketbooks of the voters rather than to their love of liquor.
 Bears On Revenue.
 By changing pounds to dollars, the advertisement could have been made a virtual duplicate of similar signals of distress which were audible in the United States of America when John Barleycorn had his back to the wall.
 The advertisement in question con tains figures showing the proportion of Australia's revenue derived from the liquor traffic, and from other sources, and seeks to convince the reader that the destitute of the com monwealth are bound to be fright fully upset if the rum is cut off,
 How do the advocates of compul- sorry total abstinence purpose to raise the revenue which will be lost if pro hibition comes to Australian" the ad inquiries. Do you want your income and land taxes increased 50 per cent?' A peculiarity about the Aus tralian paper which carried this ad- vertisement is that it is entitled 'The Cotton Farmer" and boasts on it's cover page that it "covers the cotton belt like the dew" The magazine is replete with information on cotton growing, which appears to be on the boom in Australia. In conjunction with the magazine, the Alabama de- partment of agriculture has received an inquiry from Sydney, Australia asking for information on feeding cottonseed meal to cattle.
 O Q O
 Query From Australia.
 The state department of agriculture received Saturday a letter from firm of manufacturers of stock feed in Sydney, New South Wales, Aus tralia, seeking information on feed ing cottonseed meal or cake to live stock. The matter was referred to the bureau of animal industry at Auburn. At the department offices itw as stated that the cultivation of cotton was making great strides in Australia and that there is a monthly periodical devoted to this subject.

EX-SERv|CE NEWS PULL TAXES DUE
State Legion Commander Calls Attention To Expira-
 ton Of Exemption Period

MOBILE, Ala, Nov. sa.-(Special Leased Wire)-Ex-ser men throughout Alabama are reminded in statement issued by State Con- mander F. Taylor Peck of the Amer ican Legion that in order to remain on the voters eligibility list. they must pay their poll tax by February 1, 1924.
 Poll tax exemption for Alabama's S soldiers, sailors and marines in the World war, granted under constl- tutional amendment, expired last Sep tember 30. Commander Peck, fearing that some ex-service men might over look the fact that the law is no longer effective. gave out message emphasizing that only a little more than two months remains for the payment of this tax.
 The constitutional amendment, pro- posed by a legislative act approved by the governor Septen.er 26, 1919, and afterward ratified by the people of Alabama at special election, ex empted men in this state who served a least four months in the military or naval forces between January ], 1917. and November II, 1918, from ths payment of poll taxes until Septem- ber 90, 1923.
 Payable by February I.
 Poll taxes are payable on or be- fore February 1. In speaking of the poll tax question, Commander Peck said:
 "The constitutional provision eX- empting ex-service n.en in Alabama from the payment of poll taxes is no longer in effect, and I am calling at tention to the fact that eX-soldiers, sailors and marines will be require to fpay this tax by February 1, next, to retain their franchises as quail fled voters. I feel sure no ex-service man wants to be deprived of the right to vote through the oversight or fail- ure to pay the tax. Let's keep the matter in mind and be enrolled 100 per cent on the list of qualified voters. Don't forget to pay your poll tax on or before February l."
 Lamar Y. McCleod. Post No. 3. of Mobile, last week went on record to give especial attention to the poll tax question, State Commander Peck is anxious that all other Legion posts in Alabama and ex-service men gen erally give attention to the matter so no Alabamians will forfeit the right of ballot through non payment of the s1.50 poll tax.
