subcommittee Appointed

subcommittee have been appointed
by the Chairman Of the Educational
Taxation Commission for the purpose
Of studying various sources Of revenue.
These committees will make a special
study of the question of state Fees,
Income Tax, Severance Tax, Special
Privilege Taxes, Luxury Tax, Miscel-
Inncous Taxes. etc. They will report
at meeting called for January 2Sth
and the executive committee, which
consists of the chairmen of the various
subcommittee, will then draft the
proposed measure which will he sub
mitted to the entire Commission for its
consideration After this has been
adopted by the body, It will be refer
red to Governor McRae as a basis for
an extraordinary session of the legis-
laturc. The proposed measure will be
submitted to the General Assembly as
a basis for legislation. II is not eX-
pected that the bill as drafted will be
passed but II will give the members
of the Assembly who will have hut a
limited time to consider it, the benefit
of expert research.
Governor McRae has made ii clear
that he will not call an extra session
unless he has assurances that some
thing definite will be done toward pro
viding more revenue for the schools
and adopting some plan that Will
eventually result I'm the abandonment
of the state rate Of personal tax. 1t Is
his opinion that the schools and the
sta.e government as well as the ele-
mosynary institutions, should be sup
ported by taxes on profits and privi-
lleges rather than ON property. This
has been achieved i'm the handling of
/ the highway problem. The tax on
property for the construction and
maintenance of public roads is being
rapidly superseded by the tax on auto
mobiles, gasoline and lubricating oil,
thereby shifting the burden from the
owner Of contiguous real estate to the
user of the highways.
Privilege taxation has developed in
Arkansas during the last few years
and It is being demonstrated that pro
ducts of the soil, insurance, automobile
and service fees can properly be re-
quired to bear n large portion of the
burden of taxation for school and gov
ernmental purposes. II is a question

CONSOLIDATED DIST. NO. ?

The first month Of school i'm Consoli-
dated District No. 2 at Birdell, ended
in December and taking everything
under consideration, we feel that we
have had very successful beginning.
Owing to the lateness of the cotton
season, attendance was not as good as
it should have been but the interest
manifested by those attending is GER
tainly commendable. Instead of a
half-dOZcn as we sometimes had in our
isolated location we have room full
and Il real spirit Of cooperation.
We have organized real live liter
airy society, for this, we feel, is neces-
sary to well rounded out education.
After all the drawbacks, sickness
crop gathering and other hindrances
we still had the following to appear on
the. honor roll: Geneva Barden, REQ

Fielden, Zetie Fielden, Ella Barden,
sam Hufstedler JEFF Fielden, Hershel
Fielden, Alvin Odell, Frank Perrin,
Louel Hufstedler, Glen Hufstedler,
Burlie Perrin and Cecil Dunn.
We, as a student body, certainly do
thank our parents for the interest they
have shown i'm MS by making it possi-
BILE for us to have longer term Of
school. And with consolidation we
see in the near future a well equipped
two-room school building, giving us
high school opportunities and the
chances all rural boys and girls so
justly deserve.

HARRISON ASSAILS
 POLICY OF C. o. ?.
Deserve No Credit For Repara- Seems To Be His Chief Sport

PASS CHRISTIAN, Miss, Sept 2. In an address here today, United States Senator Pat Harrison acclaimed the work of the reparation commission as an achievement which will bring about the adjustment of European affairs and stabilization of the world, but declared that the republicans were not fair ill listing it as an administration victory.
 He said only a few months ago the administration refused to acknowledge the official affairs of the experts, ex- pressly stating that the Dawes commits sion was acting as the agent of the al- lied countries with no official recogni- tion from or binding force on the United States. The commission, he said, was non-partisan in character, and Mir. Dawes in his official report credited Owen D. Young, democrat, for large part of the success of the commission.
 He charged that the whole history of the republican party relative to for eign affairs was one of negation and obstruction.

 Eighteen foreign warships' are now in port, ready to take any action necessary to the protection of the lives and property of their nationals. Nine of the warships are American.
 Six hundred marines, representing all the great foreign powers, have landed to preserve order in the foreign set clement here.

ALABAMA TO SHIP TONNAGE OF COAL TO CUBA
Sugar Cane Crop And In- dustries Promise Activ-
 ity, Castefla Says ;

Exportation of Alabama coal to Cuba will increase by a large volume this year, in the opinion of Caesar Castella, of the American Colas company, of Ha- vana, who was in Birmingham Tues day arranging for purchases. He is an officer of the company which buys in the Alabama fields, and said that every energy was being brought into play, in order to increase the consump- tion of Birmingham coal among the sugar factories and other operations on the island. As to domestic consump- ton. he said no homes were ever put to the necessity of arranging for arti- ficial heat, it being preferable to ad. yertise a home as well ventilated rather than one with heating processes.
 "The consumption of coal in Cuba is confined almost wholly to the sugar mills and other plants-said MT. Gas tella. Our suggar mills are not only growing in number but those that are out of date are being changed to mod ern plants with greater capacities and will need added tonnages of coal.
 Local Product Investigated
 During the past, the major part of our coal has been secured from the West Virginia and Pennsylvania fields, but there has been made careful in yestigation of the Alabama products and this inquiry has proven to be most grat- flying. The sales of Alabama coal in Cuba last year was not an insignificant tonnage, although our sugar situation, as you may recall, was rather upset. This year the outlook t extremely re assuring. Although we will not know until we start grinding, the exact status vet we believe now that the crop will be A greater one and that the grinding season will find the sugar mills in need of larger tonnages of coal. We are making plans for the importation of greater tonnage from Alabama than has ever been secured here and we do not expect to fail in our plans.
 MT. Castella, was enthusiastic about the relationship which should exist be- tween this district and Cuba. He said the island has a population of only 3. 900 900 while there is plenty of space to take care of population of 1O,OOO,-
 Have No Coal Fields
 "So you see that as we grow in in dustry, and there are many that may suitably pc Lpcdtcu HI OuDU1 w "AAA be compelled to call upon this district for coal and other necessities" said MT. Castella. We have no ore except man. ganese, which we will send to you now, and we have no coal whatever. We have no hydro-electric power plants except very small ones, there being few hills and rivers close enough to war rant such, construction. It follows naturally that as we grow we will have to call upon America for most of the necessary raw materials.
 Mir. Castella is closely allied with the DeBardeleben Coal corporation which company, has been able to fur nish Cuba with considerable tonnage.
 The American Goals company at Havana, owns and operates water front facilities for the proper handling of coal from Alabama. So far it has been found preferable, by MT. Castella's company to use through rail transpor- tation, rather than the Warrior river route on account of the frequent hand ling by the latter way.

By RAYMOND CHAPTER, Leased Wire to The Age-Herald.)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Consider- able stir has been caused here by the charge, now officially denied, that the republican national committee paid the travelling and hotel expenses of the 115 labor men who called on President Coolidge on Labor Day.
 The matter was brought to the at tention of William M. Butler, chairman of the republican national committee, who declared his organization had not authorized any expenditure for this purpose and that he had not known of the labor pilgrimage until he read of it in the newspapers.
 The delegation was mobilized by T. V. O'Connor, chairman of the United States shipping board and formerly president of the longshoremen's union. He was the chief labor leader active in the Harding campaign of four years ago, and is active in the republican cause again this year. No secret was made of the fact that O'Connor gath cred up the delegation. But no one in republican circles would admit that O'Connor or the national committee had financed the affair.
 Paper Makes Change.
 The account published in the Balti- more Sun, democratic newspaper, stated that the men were even reimbursed for the working time lost by the trip to Washington.
