LETTERS TO EDITOR
Wants Business Governor
To the Editor of The Age-Hqj*aid:
I am for Governor Comer because Ala- !
l>ama, at this time, needs a man for gov- j
ernor who has unquestionable ability as a [
business man. Governor Comer has de
monstrated his business ability in ids own
affairs, while governor of the state of
Alabama for four years. He spent the
state’s money judiciously and for the best
interests of tlie citizens. We need him
at this time for the same qualifications
w hich he showed as governor before.
He is a man of decided firmness, and
the business men of Birmingham have
great confidence in hi mand feel that his
administration will give the state pros
perity by inducing capital to invest with
in its borders. Yours very truly,
W. M. COSBY.
Birmingham, May 4. 1914.
Gadsden Man for Comer
To the Editor of The Age-fierald:
From h long and intimate acquaintance
with business men and business conditions
in Alabama, I have no hesitancy in say
ing that the business interests of this
state not only do not anticipate any dis
turbance of business conditions if Gover
nor Comer should be elected again, but
on the contrary, they believe lie will give
us a just, fair, conservative administration
of affairs. Mr. Comer is an experienced
business man. He lias been one of the
greatest developers in the state, and few
of the state’s citizens have brought more
investment of capital in its confines.
Mr. Comer has been charged with secur
ing a special coal rate of 60 cents per
ton while he was governor for his cotton
mills at Sylacauga. This is not true. T.
with a number of other gentlemen en
gaged in manufacturing, was fighting for
| the 50-cent coal rate for the Gadsden. An- i
niston and Talladega district years be
fore Mr. Comer was a cotton manufac
turer. and we secured that rate in the
early part of 1905.
Mr. Comer has also been charged with
securing a cotton mill tax exemption law
while governor. This law was put on the
statute books in 1895. long before Mr.
Comer had commenced to figure in state
| politics. T was largely instrumental in
1 securing the passage of the law. As the
| result of this tax exemption the spindles
of Alabama have increased from about
250,0<ip in 1894 to about 1,000,000 at the pres
ent time, and the better price the farmer!
is getting for his cotton, as compared
with the 4 and 5-cent cotton rate at the
end of the decade 1890-1900, is due largely
to increased mill building.
1 repeat, we have nothing to lose and
everything to gain by the election of Mr.
Comer. Very truly yours.
R. A. MITCHELL.

WANTS A CHANCE
f S
Thos. C. McDonald Tells Why
Comer Should Not Be Nom
inated for Governor
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
As a taxpayer, 1 am always interested V
in the subject of taxation—perhaps '
selfishly so—therefore I am somewhat
amused at tlie reasons given by my
friend George B. Tarrant for his sup
port of Mi-. Comer. In nis communica
tion to your valuable paper he says lie
believes he (Comer) wil give a
"better system of taxation." Mr. Tar
rant further says: “Everyone who is
familiar with our present system
knows that it is cumbersome, ineffici
ent and wasteful. What we need is a
tax rale low enough to be equJtableT^tO
all classes of property owners, as
sessed and collected in a manner that
will give the state the largest net re
turns. We can trust Mr. Comer to do
this for us. I am also for Mr. Comer
because I believe he will give Alabama
an administration that is clean, eco
nomical and progressive—one that will
make Xi>r the material and moral ad- *
vancement of the state." %
This all sounds mighty good; but we \,
are warned by Hbly Writ that "by
their fruits ye shall know them,” and
while Mr. Comer served as governor
for* four years, he increased taxation,
made no effort to change the system
and urged state and county tax com
missioners to dig deep into the pocket*
of the people that he might obtain the
wherewith to exercise his prejudices
against the Louisville and Nashville and
other railroads and to carry out other
of his pet policies. I submit that his
administration was neither “economical
nor progressive” and did not “make
for the material nor moral advancement
of* the state.”
As to “morals," I submit that the ,
court records show that there were '
more violations of law during the four
years of Comer's' reign than during
any like period of time since Houston
was inaugurated governor. J
And these are some of the reasons
which induce a majority of the tax
payers of Alabama to desire a change
by the election of Charles Henderson
to tlie office of governor.
T. C. M DONALD.
