 diets Upward Tendency

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-America' s tax burden was $755, 100000 heavier in 1923 than in 1922 and in ten years, taxation has grown more than $5,500,000,O00, the na- tional industrial confence board announced in report made public to- day. Total taxes raised in 1923 were placed at $7,716,000,00 against $G,961,- 100000 in 1922.
 The decline in the volume of taxa ton noted in 1922 was short lived the report said, predicting an upward ten dency in 1924.
 The report asserted that in 1913 the federal, state and local governments dis bursed $20S, 100000 on account of Een- sions and $224, 100000 for interest on public indebtedness. In 1923 these totals were respectively $330, 100000 and ST. 447 100000.
 The board concluded that the burden of taxation on industry "using this term in its widest sense, measured in terms of dollars, is three and one half times as high as before the war, and, measured in terms of comparable power, this burden is two and one half times as high as it was in 1923"

Birmingham's public schools began the fall grind Monday with an attendance of 36,479- an increase of 2,875, or 9 per cent, over the opening day last year.
 Dr. c. B. Glenn, superin- tendent, said this was the best start the schools ever had. He expects the enrolment to mount steadily during the next few days and predicts that more than 10000 children will have buckled down to work be- fore October 1.

NAVAL BUDGET UP
Cabinet Meeting Friday Expected to
 Discuss Appropriation


 Discuss Appropriation
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Secre- tary Wilbur ha- been requested to re- turn to Washington as soon as possible it was indicated today at the White House to confer with the President on departmental matters, particularl. in regard to the next budget allowance for the navy. It was declared there was no special significance in the call for the secretary.
 Secretary Wilbur is expected to reach Washington in time for Fridays cabinet meeting, and, in view of his return, it is assumed that the financial straits of the navy will be considered at that session.
 The navy already is operating under general orders limiting repairs to 70 per cent of recommended programs, and it has heen estimated that, partly as a result of the Scurtailment, an expen- diture of $165,O00,O00 would be re- quired to bring the ships up to a satis- factory rating at this time. It also was announced recently that the battleship Florida would be placed ''in reserve" presumably because of the need of re- pairs, and that the navy might have to abandon proposed winter cruise to Australia.
 Despite these conditions the budget bureau is understood to have made sharp cuts in department estimates in preparing it's recommendations for ap- propriations for the next fiscal year. According to one report, this cut brings the total the bureau has been willing to recommend for the navy 17 to % per cent under minimum estimates submit ted to it by Secretary Wilbur and strongly urged by his advisers. The total, it is said, has been pared to less than $300,O00,0O0, an amount held by naval experts to be far below require ments.

their religious worship.
"AlI persons conducting themselves
peacefully as good members or this
state shall be equally under the pro
lection of it's laws. And no subordi-
nation nor preference Of any onc
sect or denomination to anotheF
shall ever be established by law nor
shall any religious test be required
as the qualification for any office OF
trust under this state.
