ELECTION BILL READY
SENATE COMMITTEE HAS
 AGREED UPON IT.
Recess Legislators Are Now Deep in
 Work of Preparing a Measure For Recodifying the Laws.

After amending and completing the Bankhead election bill. the Senate he- cess Committee now in session at the apitol Is deep in the preparation Of ' bill to recodify the laws of Alabama Both bills were called for by the new zConstitution. The duty of enacting new election law and providing Tor tne recodihcation of the statutes was placed ' on the present Legislature by the new zConstitution. To prepare bills specially called for by the Constitution is the lm- ! portant work of the Senate Recess Com mittee.
 The failure of the Legislature to pass general election bill before the Febru- ary adjournment was deeply felt in Ala bama in the spring. The general cleo tion law contains the permanent plan Of 4registration, which is to succeed the tenn porary plan embodied in the Constttu- tion The temporary plan died by its own limitations. As he Legislature had provided no method of registration to take the place of the Constitutions per- manent plan, thousands of voters were #deberred from taking part in the munich nal primaries and elections of the spring Hin Alabama Some of these voters had been absent from the State or they had been prevented from going before the regIstration boards by some other good treason. In most cases, however, the voters had come of age since the tempo rary plan of registration had expired. In all cases. however. the voters had not re- ceived life certificates and could not, therefore, cast a vote.
 There will be no more registration in Alabama until the Legislature passes a general election law, embodying plan sof registration.
 The bill which the Senate Committee had under consideration was prepared and introduced by Representative John H Bankhead. Jr.. of Walker County It was passed oy the House, but 1t was hung up in committee in the Senate.
 The Recess Committee has attached some amendments to 1t, but it is under stood that they are not far-reaching
 The bill will be put before the Senate when the Legislature reassembles Sep &ember 1st

PAID STATE TOO MUCH
UNUSUAL ERROR FOUND BY FIX
 AMINER RUTLEDGE.
Tax Collector Mobley of Clarke Coun' ty Made Mistake Against Him self-Reports Filed on Other
 Officials.

The rare official who paid the State too much money. instead of making the State pay him too much, has been found in Clarke County by Assistant Examiner T. J. Rutledge.
 This remarkable official is Tax Collec- tor w. A. Mobley of Clarke, who paid into the State Treasury $3l.5O more than he owed.
 Overpayment by a county official to the State Is not unheard of, hut instances of 1t are rare enough to be remarkable. When the public examiners find errors, the errors are usually in favor of the officials. MT. Mobleys error was made in reporting poll tax for the year l9Ol' having paid in $31.5 too much. The error occurred in addition.
 MT. Rutledge says that MT. Mobley should be paid back the $3l50.
 The Clarke County officials made alto gether a fair showing. There were a few errors found, but only in one in- stance was the State due anything when the report was made.
 Examiner Rutledge found that Tax As sessor D. A. Currie had made several errors In assessments made in 1901. the first year of his incumbency in the office. There was a marked improvement in the conduct of the office in 1902. one error of $SO the Examiner reported. had beer found in that year, but 1t mad been cov- cred by a supplemental assessment.
 An error of $S.70, due to an overchargc for feeding prisoners, was found In the accounts of Sheriff R. G. Allen. The Examiner reported that the Sheriff would pay the amount and that all other ac- counts were correct.
