BeIated Reyengc

(Pittsburg Chronicle-Te Telegraph)
 An old Scotch farmer, dictating his will to a lawyer, said:
 q give and bequeath to my wife the sum of 100 pounds a year. Is that writ doon?"
 "Yes," said the lawyer; "but she may marry again. Won't you make any change in that case? Most people do."
 "Ah, well, write again and say: If my wife marry again I give and bequeath to her the sum of 200 pounds year. That'lldae, eh:"
 "Why, that's just double :he sum she would have had if she had remained unmarried" said the lawyer. Tt is generally the othe. i. way"
 Aye" said the farmer, "but him that takes her wull deserve it."

The Tax-DOdgers
(Brewton Herald)

Under the new tax machinery deputy tax assessor is author ized to be appointed in each county by the state tax commission, his duties to consist of securing tho assessment of personal property that is escaping taxes. For Ihis service the official will recelve twenty per cent. of the amount of taxes collected through his efforts. In this county the position would furnish a good income if the per- son appointed could secure the assessment of jewelry and house. hold furniture alone. Thousands of. dollars worth of diamonds are owned by individuals of Bfewton that are never assessed for taxa tion, and at one time a certain prominent citizen assessed his enc tire personal property at S60o. while owning one rug which it was admitted cost 5000.

Not Cured by Nostrums
CHouston Post)

(Houston Post)
 Governments are not, and of right ought not to be, ordained to produce profits for any class. That is one of the prime causes of the plight of the wheat growers at present. They are being exploited for the purpose of adding to the profits of manufacturers. The protective tariff, which has proven of no avail to the wheat grower. is enabling the protected manufac- turers to exact of him exorbitant prices for everything which he has to buy. It is we'll enough to say that the wheat grower is as much entitled to law-made. profit-giving price as the maru- facturer is to a law-made em- bargo which smothers competition and gives him a swollen profit at the farmers expense. It is true enough, but rather than cure enc wrong by setting up another, it would be far better to abandon the doctrine of privilege, take the government out of business en- tirely, simplify its operations and tighten the crushing tax burden that rests upon production. The ills of industry cannot be cured by greater draughts of the deadly nostrum which have brought dis tress upon 1t. The same remedy is to relieve agriculture of the leeches that suck Nits life blood, tighten taxation and to cooperate in some helpful way to rehabilitate itS rufned forafp-r v,, n rL ate Ul :. wheat growers will be leaning upon a broken reed If they rely upon -demagogues to do these things. It Is the way of the dem- agogue to promise worthless rem edies that appear plausible enough to those in distress. to pander to the prejudices of the ignorant and to foster every futile policy which contains a promise of political support.

MISSOURI WOLF HUNTERS
Columbia Missourian)

Joy reigns at last among the wolf hunters of Centralia. who have been working weeks without success to bag some of the large number of vicious wolves that have infected the surrounding country for some time. They fin ally succeeded in killing two pig ones, but only after dogs had been imported. The wolves have been so bold and fierce that the local dogs would run them until they made a stand and then return to the hunters because they feared the fray. The imported dogs will carry sears of their battle as long as they live.

DECREASE IN SCHOOL FUNDS

Shrinkage in returns from the three mill tax will result in a decrease of approximately $200,00O in the amount available for Alabama schools during the coming year. The per capita sum to be distributed to counties this year will be only $4.33, as against $4.59 for the previous year. l. is unfortu- nate that this shrinkage in school funds should be developing at time when greater demands are being made upon the schools all over the state and when there is more interest and larger attendance in the schools than

VIII Help This State
(Anniston Star)


 Doubtless the trade excursion plan, which Western cities are finding so valuable in developing trade with Mexico, would prove just as valuable in developing Alabama business in the countries that can be reached directly through the port of Mobile. The cities of this state that are in position to supply large foreign trade could unite in such visit of introduction and friendship CT they could go it alone. Mobile. Birmingham, Montgomery, Annis- ton, Florence. Selma, Tuscaloosa. Huntsville, Sheffield and other manufacturing and commercial cities in Alabama would derive many business benefits from the establishing of extensive trade re- lations with Central and South American countries, including the island of Cuba.

 It probably is hard nut for the administration to crack whether it is the more dangerous to allow a few convicts to appear before the Jefferson county grand jury and give testimony, or to all low fighting Jim Davis to carry the inquisitorial body on a signt- seeing and tale-hearing jaunt to all the convict camps in Jefferson county. If there is anything to hide from the public, and the logi- cal conclusion forced upon the public mind is there is, 1t is di- lemma with two horns of equal length.

 The condition in the act creat- ing the Mobile port commission which eliminates the feature CT salary compensation, Is legislative innovation in state history that IS as welcome as it is new. Why should not men of high type and independent means give their time and labor to the state without pay? After all, service to the com munity and the performance of tasks that benefit others and en- rich the commonwealth bring their rewards in inward joy and satis- faction that can never follow the mere ingathering of dollars or their proud possession.

Maternal Pride

The baby hippo at the ZOO It is an awful thing to view. Its massive, monstrous mouth is wide Enough to drive truck inside.

And in the hippo mothers eyes That kid deserves a beauty prize.

Montgomery TimeS)
 The days of recklessness and profligacy in the conduct of the state government in reconstruc- tion days in Alabama are brought back to our memories by some of the practices now carried on in our government. State bonds were then on the market as scraps of paper, and hawked about un- til they became a shame and by-word in financial circles.

Ships

When I was young I loved the ships that sailed upon the sea, the mys- tic ships that roamed across the pillows wild and free. Their masts and spars against the stars en- thralled the heart of me. I loved to stand upon the bridge and watch the ships go by. The steam CTS made fantastic wreaths amid the summer sky. I watched them sail in the calm and gale with eager, longing eye.
 But now I do not care to see the yes sells chugging by. The bridge goes up, the traffic stops while precious minutes fly. I sit behind the wheel and watch with cold and weary eye.-Arthur.
