tainly a citizen should have i'm

into his personal affairs, espec-

does not endeavor to evade any
of his obligations to the govern

minutely into the character and
extent of his worldly possessions

it is incumbent upon the govern

In his open challenge to Sec

about the latter's tax reduction
plan, Senator Couzens of Michi-

extent of his investments that
would be benefited by reduced
taxation. In the ridiculous Sen
ate committee quiz of Edward
Box about the latter's peace plan
competition, Senator Reed of
Missouri asked Mr.. Box what
amount of capital he had behind
his proposition. Mr.. Box very
properly replied that it was his
own business. Probably Secre-

answer to his challenger, would
say about the same. Such ques

UNCLE ,LIAS HEARS CASE
 OF ASSAULT

Being suddenly called from his job as elevator man and janitor to act as arbiter in an assault and battery case, Uncle 'Lias, known far and wide as the ''politest" negro in the court house, acquitted himself admirably Wednesday morning.
 Mary Irvine, negro, was accused of cruelty to her husband. who brought her before Judge H. B. Abernethy on a charge of assault and battery. When called upon for a statement in her own defense, she replied with counter charges. The judge grew desperate.
 Uncle 'Lias was called to the res cue, elevator service in the court house benig suspended for the time being. After a series of rapid-fire questions and answers, he assessed fine with court costs against tine unruly husband and set the woman free.
 II never like to assume respon- sibility for settling these family af- fairs" Judge Alb commented.

the city without the payment of the 2-cent tax. provided the consignment for the city is kept in separate con tainer and distributed from that con tainer to the city only.
 The action of the legislature in re- fusing to grant the municipalities of the state exemption from the 2-cent tax, it is said, has the effect of elim- mating home companies from such busi- ness field, while not producing revenue for the state or the roads, and at the same time opening the way for great reduction in road fund revenues if large companies take advantage of the interstate law and buy from states oth- CT than Alabama.
 Those who have scanned the mat ter say it can easily be imagined the state will lose minimum of $100,0O0 9 year in road funds from the gas tax.
 The placing Of the contract by the commission was deferred to a later meeting. opening the way for 'competi- tive bids from anywhere, now that it is believed the home companies will not have a chance because of the action of the legislature. tN

PLAGUE SOCIETY
 NAMES OFFICERS
Activities To Be Centered In Birmingham With
 out State Aid

Mrs. H. D. Pearce of Birmingham was reelected president of the Alabama Tuberculosis association at the annual meeting Wednesday at the Tutwiler hotel. Mrs. J. Brevard Jones was made first vice president; Dr. w. K. sharp, Jr., second vice president; Miss Lticie Dove, secretary, and Thomas Bowron, treasurer.
 Miss Ita Stocks and Dr. W. K. Sharp, Jr., were nominated for mem bership on the board of directors of the National Tuberculosis association. One of them will be elected at the regular meeting of the national association in Atlanta.
 The Wednesday afternoon meeting was featured by addresses on tubercu- losis work in Jefferson county and throughout the nation, by Arthur ]. Strawson, supervisor of field service for the national association, and Thomas E. Huey, member of the board of revenue, and one of the leaders in the movement to establish, the Jefferson county tuberculosis sanitarium.
 Mir. Strawson described the experi- ment conducted by the Metropolitan Life Insurance company in tuberculosis work at Birmingham, Mass, and spoke of the good results accomplished in many counties through the work of tu- Derculosis consultants, who go into the rural districts and examine tubercular patients.
 Work Discussed
 Mr. Huey discussed the efforts of himself and others that resulted in sup port b ythe city and county of the old tuberculosis sanitarium, which was about to be abandoneds after being sup ported by the Anti Tuberculosis associa- tion. He said the formal contract for construction of the new. $2O0, ,OOO hospi- tai would be signed April 28 and work would begin immediately.
 At the morning session the associa- tion passed resolution to remove the office of the field director, James NJ. Graham, to Birmingham from Mont gomery. General headquarters will re- main in Birmingham.
 It was pointed out that the state board of health had assisted the or ganization financially by paying part of the salary of the field secretary and furnishing him with an office; but to do this it.was necessary for him to make his headquarters in Montgomery. The reason given for the removal to Birmingham was that the association was at last in a position to carry on It's work without state aid and better results could be obtained by centraliz- ing all departments at general head quarters.s N
 A committee was appointed to thank pr. 5. ". Welch of the state depart ment of health for his assistance and cooperation. This committee consists of Dr. Norris Newfield, rabbi of Temple Emanu-El; Ben Price, Mrs. I. B. Jones and Mrs. ChaanelI Cory. The committee was instrud d torequest the continued cooperation and moral sup port of the state and. other agencies in carrying out it's program for the coming year. 4.. s3Et-7s.

SCHOOLS AID IN
 PICKING JUDGES Age-Herald Medal Con test To Be Conducted
 Friday Night

Each school participating in the Ninth Congressional district final of The Age Herald National Oratorical Contest of Friday night is selecting one judge. These judges are some of the most prominent educators and profes- sional men available, and they are thoroughly capable of adding impetus to the contest,
 The contest will begin promptly at o'clock Friday night in the new Sunday school auditorium of the First Meth odist church, 530 Nineteenth street, north, and in view of the support that has been given The Age Herald in this movement to Raise the Standard of American Citizenship" it is expected that the auditorium will be filled to its capacity.
 Mir. Oliver Henderson of the law firm of Steele & Henderson, will make an address at the meeting. .Mr. Henderson has taken an active part in the contest since it's announcement, February 3, and in accepting the invitation of the management he says: Although I would not hope to compare with the greatly overshadowed by them, it gives SECdbf kucdSuTC JO dSSiSJf uc tkABe- Herald and the contest in this laudable effort to increase the value of Amer ican citizenship. 1 am sure that the results obtained from this great move ment will greatly surpass. any move ment ever attempted in any nation to its citizenry.R
 The program Friday night will be one of interest to every man. woman and child in BirmiHghani, and will be of benefit also to every citizen. The school orators have prepared orations on the constitution of the United States and it's builders that are actual master pieces, and when they meet in contest for The Age Herald's gold medal award and the congressional district champion ship the Sunday school auditorium will be the scene of one of the hardest fought battles of the school year.

ARMY OFFICERS
 DISCUSS CAMPS
sAlabaifia's Quota Tagging For Spring Training
 During July

Col. T, Q. Mathews, c. NJ. T. c. officer of, the Fourth corps area, with headquarters in Atlanta, spent ,Wednes- day in Birmingham conferring with army officers and club officials in the interest of the citizens military training camps to be held during July. Colonel Mathews formerly was sta toned in Birmingham with the organ iZed reserves.
 Colonel Mathews has just completed a trip through the Carolinas and Ten nessee and states that splendid prog ress had been made in securing appli- cants in those states. Alabama, he said, is still far Behind in the quota allotted and special efforts are to be made to bring this state up to the number permitted. Candidates this year may.make application at any time before the camps are open. First appli- cants will be given preference.
 in Nashville. Knoxville and Memphis athletic and rifle teams are being or ganized and will be carried to the camp intact. These teams will utilize half holidays in which to hold competitive meets. High school students in the three cities are displaying much en- thusiasm, he said, and under the direc- tlOn of their coaches and instructors, planned teams in all competitions.
 Local Students Organize
 In Birmingham, Col. Nolan, com mandant of the Junior R. 0. T. c. in the Birmingham schools, is planning a similar campaign among the students. Under plans for this year, young men. from the same seity will be assigned ta the same c6mbanies, and where suf- ficient number were sent from the same city or town, a special car would be provided for their transportation to and from the camp.
 One big change in the training pro- gram this year, he said, would be the use of regular troops as skeleton organization for the student soldiers. At Camp Mcclellan, the same organi- zatiOns of the regular army that trained here last year will return this summer. The Eighth infantry will be used with the K. o. T. C., while the Twenty second infantry will be assigned for duty with the c. NJ. T. O., The Sixth cavalry will train both the R. o. T. .. and c. M.s T. c. students.
 Second and third year students will be utilized as non-commissioned oft cers, and fourth year men. will assume duties. as commissioned officers. Off cers and non-commissioned officers If the regulars will act as instructors.

 After Saving

Two cents a gallon reduction in the price of gasoline for quantity users who have it shipped in From beyond the Alagama state line was proposed as saving for Birmingham by City At torney w. J. Wynn when the city commission began discussion ofIits an- nual gasoline and oil contracts at the board meeting Tuesday morning.
 Birmingham's annual bill for gaso- line, and oil for~fts motor vehicles of fire, street, public health, police and other departments totals about 1000 yearly. 1t is one of the biggest indi- vidua1 oil and gas orders placed in Ala barna. .dyr,
 The law of Alabama imposes state tax of ? cents gallon on gasoline, the funds from this taxation being raised for road improvement purposes.
 When the last legislature was in session Mir. Wynn, representing the city of Birmingham. appeared before a leg islative committee and asked that the municipalities, as part of the govern meBt, be exempted from this tax. The bill went onto the floor for open con sideration as drawn, the amendment proposed by Mir. Wynn net, even con sidered.
 The announcement of the city at. torney Tuesday not only 0pens the way for any municipality inKthe state to buy gasoline at wholesale beyond the state line, but any company or indi- yidual can do the same tthing. Buy ing from sellers organized under the the laws of another state and with headquarters not in Alabama, it is stated, makes such purchase. as is con tcmplated matter of interstate com merce, not affected by the Alabama law.
 1t will save-t the city of Birmins- ham about $4,000 or more each year, y Mir. Wynn stated, ''and that is all I am interested in"
