DON'T PAY YOUR TAX

Such Is the Advice to Alabama Ko! bites.

KOLB ISSUES HIS MESSAGJ

It Is aLone a*1*! Many Heepcctt. a lltvolutlonary Document—If His Advice Is Tnk«u Alabmua Will Be Threatened

Witli a lteign of Anarehy— Kolb's Protrain Explained by One ofl'is FeMowcrs.

Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 5.—R. F. Kolb, who claims to be governor ol" Alabama has oompleted a message to the legislature, which he signed as governor and which has been transmitted to that body. The message is» also addressed to the people of Alabama and is a long and in many respects revolutionary uocumeut, as it iooommoiid» that h.s followers do not pay their taxes fur a hue. He further bays: "I uuvise those tax collector.? who value the cause I represent, and which will assui%dly prevail, in the end, to delay all payments of state taxes into tlia state treasury until an impartial hearing is had of our complaint, under a fair and honest contest law."

When is remembered that the rax collectors in 38 out of 00 counties in the state are Kolbites, it will be seen it' they take his advice the Kolb governluent will find strong -T aua.,--vla-. bama threatened with anarchy.

In the message Koib says further: "The revolutionary conditions ot our state government must become the subject of your continued and most anxious contemplation. The plans of usurpers so alarming to you arc abating in 'nothing to reduce you to an abject and final submission to their unbridled wi.l and passions. You have seon our list demaaidslort.be fuii execution of tne eleotion system of governor an'i other state officers secured to you by sacied constitutional guarantee.*, deliberately set aside by me egii.atui»'' iti-.-f, tmi.v a creature ot ttiu constitution. "I declare to you without fear of contradiction that if the present party in control of your government be not arrested in its mad career no elections can be held iu Alabama under the law and constitution. In the name of tne great body of white men in Alabama, I have set in their motion their solemn protest.

I have taken the oath of governor, and

I intend to prosecute in your name my right to that oliice, solely upon the claim by your baiiots, cast in the legitimate and orderly way pro.-: rued by the forme of law, 1 was appointed to it on Aug. G, lbO-i."

He then reviews tne provisions of the const).union and says: "i-ecauM! the legislature of did oxpros-ly revoke the sections of the civil code, however unperlected, which .-.eomect to allow a contest of election for governor and other state ofheers, rei using on _uemand to restui thorn or io sub.-iauuato others of a reasonable and practicable nature, you are pcriectly jusuued in declaring there can. be no election of governor or other state oiiiceta under the constitution of Alabama, binding on you which is tainted with fraud at the .j^^iot-box." l" 'i"

test laws and advises his friends to organize v-lnbs to assist in the general object of his appeal.

The message concludes: "If Colonel Oates and his faction fear not the truth if they court equity and are ready to abide by justice they will hesitate at nothing to remove the color of dishoii'..,r from his title to the olliee he has stu/.ed by arms. Again 1 say my contention is alone for the exertion of the guarantees offered by the constitution of my gtate for liberty lor all. I demand of the legislature that action which every member on oath has bound himself solemnly to take in the observance of the constitution.

IT REACHES THE

CAPITAL. .1

llat Uttle Chance of It Kvei Being Introducetl in tb« Legislature.

MonTuumkky, Ala., Dec. 5.—-The address of Captain Kolb to the legislature aud people, signing himself governor, was received here last night, but crested very little talk. Representative Knight of Hale, who introduced in'fi'O legislature th« bill against usurpation in Alabama, which wiil pass the house today, and then promptly go to the senate said: "As to usurper Kolb's revolutionary message ever being presented to the legislature, it is out of all question, and is absolutely too ridiculous to be seriously commented upon. As a matter of course, it wiii never be permitted to be presented to the legislature, and anyone pos.-essing the otlrontery to attempt to present such a document will be, beyond ..il question of a doubt, arrested"for contempt of that body. "As to his advice to his supporters »ud h~-:e lax co:lectors cf the stsu-^ who are friendly with his cause, not to pay in taxes until his cause is heard, is the vaporing of a »uaniac, ior the laws of the state of Alabama relative to the collcct.cn and paj ment of state raxes

into the state treasury are too expres sive aud mandatory. "Furthermore, any officer violating the statute iu that respect would c« equally as summarily de:ilt with as the state courts will doubtless deal with Kolb. overnor Oates is fully,competent and everybody who knows him knows mat he will laithfully and rigidly exec ute the lawH."

KOLB'S PROGRAM.

'-rs i•» the state, and one of Kolb's advisers, has given out a portion of Kolb's program. Ai:.lining said: "Kolb will issue certificates of eleofcion as governor do jure to Goodwin, Howard, the* two Aidriches and Robiutson as congressman iroui tnm state. Howar.d wdi also have one lrom Oates. His seat oispnted. y? "The program is to liave the Ropublican house nr^t dyoline to seat either Bet of representatives, on the ground that both sides are provided with cro dentials signed by a governor of Alabama. The only way that either can be seated thiin is by means of a resolution. It. it proposed that Howard shall offer a res'j.ution to seat ihe anti-Demo-crat represoutatjves, two of tiu.ni who lire Republicans and three Populists, and a Uepuohcan nouse is etpyeleu to

seat them pending the termination of the test. This would make the regularly eleoted congressmen the contestants and throw the burden of proof upon the Democratic side. 'This plan, it is figured, wouM aft'ord a temper wy endorsement ©f Kolb as governor and would be a source of trouble to the Oates administration, a. petition will then be circulated in every part of th« state calling upou congress to investigate Alabama elections, and begging for a special act to restore: in a Republican form of government. Numerous affidavits aftirrr i,_ that Kolb was elected, but deprived of his seat by force, will also be presented to congress. Reese will also be given a certificate of election by Kolb as United btates senator, and wiil contest with Morgan.

Nii'gkt's bill to punish political usurpers and their abbators, however, will be lushed through the general assembly and will become a law by liririav. it is estimated, and its enforcement will call for rlie imprisonment of all the part.es to the plan.
