SENATE REINSERTS
 MELLON STOCK TAX
Rejects House Amendment Of
 Surtax Rate

WASHINGTON, March I9.-The Senate finance committee rejected the first House amendment to the revenue bill, reached in it's study of the measure and reinserted the Mellon provision for taxing profits on stock dividends re- deemed in liquidation proceedings.
 The House had made such profits subject to the surtax rates rather than the capital gain tax of 121z per cent, q lower rate than the average surtax. The House provision was rejected by the committee as unfair to samIler Vtock holders.
 A disposition on the part of the ma iority committee members to replace the Longworth compromise income tax schedule with the Mellon rates also be- came apparent today. Democrats at khe same time were lining up solidly against the move, and were counting on the support of Senator Lafollette of Wisconsin, leader of the republican Insurgents
 Meanwhile, the democrats have given DO definite indication of what rate sche- dule they will support House dem ocrats supported the Carmen rates with a A per cent maximum surtax. This was beaten in the House by the Long worth compromise carrying a maximum Burtax rate of S71a per cent.

VOTE OF LOYALTY
McAdOO Victory Attributed To
 States Patriotism

ATLANTA, Ga. March 19.-Georgia went for McAdOo today as a matter of patriotism. The slogan was Vote for Georgia's Son." and it was irresistible to loyal Georgia.
 'He walked our streets a barefoot boy" and Lets vote for Georgian" was the platform put forth in the main by McAdoO and his friends
 There was of course the customary lambast of the republican party and McAdoo gave recognition to the fact that corruption in government will be the main issue in the coming campaign. Even Georgians who make no claim that he will be the party nominee cast their ballot for him.
 He was a favorite son, and Georgians never go back on men who are born in this state. The only chance for an out slider is for two favorite sons to be in the race as in 1920, when Palmer beat HOke Smith and Tom Watson. Under wood supporters in this state do not re- gard the Underwood defeat as being significant, except that GeOrgians have cast their ballot for the candidate who was born. reared and schoOled" in Georgia. If McAdoO had been born in any other state, Underwood would have swept Georgia.

SAYS COAL PROBE
 IS ONLY ROUTINE
Nothing To Get Excited Over,
 Says Commissioner

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Wil- liam Spry, commissioner, general land office, department of the interior, does not think that there is any reason for the people of Alabama to get "unduly excited :" over the investigation by the general land office to ascertain the exact status of the governments coal anG coal land in Alabama.
 There have been reports that sensa- tiOns would be disclosed. MT. Spry says that perhaps tresspasses will be found, "and then again, perhaps not" He makes this statement in explanation of the situation:
 By different acts of Congress, passed many years ago, Alabama was given certain. large grants of land, the moneys derived from the sale of which were to be applied to internal improvements, etc. It is presumed much, if not all, of these lands have been disposed of by the state. It seems the records of this office and those of the local land offices in Alabama tall now abolished save that at Montgomery, which is the custodian of all those ancient recOrds), do not agree as to what lands were granted to the state Certain lands appear on the local records as having been transferred to Alabama, but do not so appear on the tract books of this office, and vice versa.
 While pursuing the investigation re- ferred to, the government will also investigate the status and character of those lands, in which it may have any direct or indirect interest, par ticularly those alleged to contain coal. This will be done, of course, for the purpose of ascertaining whether any of the governments coal has been un- lawfully rmeOved, and, if so, to learn the quantity and call upon the party or parties removing it for settlement.
 There may be instances where coal trespasses are found. On the other hand, there may not be. Investigations have not proceeded sufficiently far to war rant any statement ss to what the result will be. do not think there is occasion for any undue excitement in Alabama over this matter"

 gene, Oregon

PORTLAND, Ore, March 19.-Three of the great army airplanes making an around-the world flight rested at Van couver barracks, Washington, tonight, and the fourth at Eugene, Ore.
 It was the intention of the fliers, weather permitting, to resume the flight tomorrow as far as Seattle. There the machines are to undergo transformation from land planes to sea planes for the next leg from Seattle to Prince Rupert, B. C., and thence over Alaska and the Aleutian Islands.
 It had been expected until lately that the three planes piloted respectively by Mai. F. l.. Martin, Lieut.. Lowell Smith and Lieut.. Leigh Wade, would make Seattle as the end of their days flight. But when the three took the air at Van couver, Wash, following their stop there and trip by the fliers to Port land for luncheon, rain was encoun- tered. It increased as they flew north ward and caused Major Martin to de- eide to return to Vancouver, where the planes landed at ;15 D. m.
 The fourth plane, piloted by Lieut.. Erik Nelson, landed at Eugene at 3 :25 D. m., having flown from Los Angeles, from whence he started at 40 a. m It was his intention tonight to leave there early tomorrow and rejoin his flight comrades at Seattle.

SCHOOL BOARD CONTROLSCALL
 FOR BOND VOTE Commissioner Harrison Passes Buck In Coming
 Bond Election PROPOSED ISSUE
 SEPARATE ITEM City Can Only Issue Elec- ton Call At Behest Of
 Board, Is Claim

Calling an election to issue bonds for money with which to improve the school system, and the amount of money involved in such bond issue, are mat ters utterly and exclusively in the hands of the Birmingham board of education.
 Commissioner W. l.. Harrison made the foregoing statement in the city hall Wednesday. He said that, under the law of Alabama, finances for edu- cational purpose in Birmingham have been taken out -ef the hands of the city commission.
 "Au the commission can do," Mir. Harrison said, ''is to receive the com mand of the board of education and call the election."s
 Commissioner Harrison explained that the present discussion of the pro- posed school bond issue, while desirable m making the public conversant with needed improvements, ana showing con- sideratiOn for the municipality in seek ing what it's capacity is for supporting more bonds, at the same time is not necessary because the law leaves the decision in the hands of the educational authorities themselves as to what they want.
 Seperate Item
 Further, the commissioner pointed out that the proposed school bond issue will of necessity be a seperate and distinct item of any proposed bond issue.
 As mater of policy, psychology or just plain give and take, it is a good thing to show consideration for the bond desires of other branches of the local government" the commissioner said, 'but getting down to sheer law and business, the school program is completely independent of any other item on the ballot, requiring an indi- vidua1 marking of the ballot confined to the school matter only, and, official ly, not borne upon by any other con- 
 At the same time the commissioner went on to explain, the city commission may place separately before the public. though on the same ballot. any other bond issue that may be deemed ad- visable.
 $5,OOOy 900 Needed
 It is known the report of the survey placed the needs of Birmingham schools at S4.5OO,O0O. Since the receipt of the reports of subcommittee going over the ground in general, the general com mlttee, of which Dr. W. R. Hendrix IS chairman. has placed the sum of the fund necessary at $5,OOO,OO
 The situation has reached the point where the city commission awaits clear-cut order from the board of edu- eations foF eheeI bond election. or takes the initiative itself and names several bond issues for the same bal lot, including incinerators, the audi tOrium, fire department and other items the commission may deem de- sirable.
