Mobile, Alabama AP reports Republicans voting in Democratic primaries created a headache for Alabama Democrats. State Democratic chairman Gersner R. McCorvey proposed two methods to discourage cross party voting, including affidavits of support for Democratic nominees or affidavits denying past Republican voting. He noted executive committees would consider amendments at January meetings to set candidate qualifications and voting rules for 1918 primaries, arguing few counties would need such steps.

Bond Not Required On Inherited Income Due In Installments
Montgomery AP Alabama taxpayers cannot be compelled to execute bonds guaranteeing lump sum tax payments on inherited income payable in installments. Judge Walter B.

The Revenue Department argued for bond to cover the full tax on Martin’s interest, but the judge upheld the plaintiffs’ claim to file tax returns as installments are paid.
