Probable Laws.

Members of the legislature and others
interested are discussing probable laws
which may be enacted by the coming ses-
sion of the lawmakers. 1t is understood
that determined effort will be made to
pass at this session what the constitution
members contemporaries uniform munich
pal corporation bill. A number of inter-
ested parties have been discussing the
subject. and it is generally thought that
the present conditions are not satisfactory
to some of the larger cities at least An
indication of this is found in the hold-up
of the effort on the part of the city of
Montgomery to float new issue of bonds
to refund its present Indebtedness. Some
thing of the same kind of trouble was
brought out a short time ago when the
city of Birmingham found itself unable
to increase the salary of it's Mayor ami
pay it, Mobile has been up against trou-
BILE on account of water front conditions
and some other municipal problems, which
have suffered on account of their connec-
ton direct or indirect. with state laws.
1t is also pretty well established thar
a law will be enacted by which the sui
plus in the treasury can be utilized in the
commerce of the state. Under the pres
emf statutes all money which the state
is not using must be kept at the capitol.
This operates not only to bring about II
very dangerous condition so far. as thu
safety of the cash rs concerned, but to
take out of circulation vast amount OF
the money of the state For instance.

the governor, as required
The law requires that the code com
missioner submit his full manuscript, to-
gether with report setting forth all OF
the changes included in the new code
to the governor before the meeting Of
the legislature in January. The report
amounts to about 200 typewriter pages
which will convey some idea of the
changes which have been suggested by
Judge Mayfied. In addition TO TINS ne
is also required OF submit draft Oh

legislature should pass for the betterment

Judge Mayfield has taken up consec-
utive each section of the code, winch

pointed out wherein such change occurs
whether by virtue of an act passed since
the last code or by the adding OF what
to him seemed necessary.
The code will this time be in three
volumes instead of two as was the last
one. The first volume will be political
the second civil and the third criminal
The advantage of this change Will read
ily suggest itself to all lawyers The
method employed has been thorough ana
painstaking. A skeleton of the old code
was first taken, and on the separate page
which was reserved for each section or
this. the judge entered everything in
any way pertaining to the subject mat
ter, including all parts of acts passed
since 1896, and all other matter. This was
then gone over. and the whole made
into appropriate sections of the new code.
The scope of such work is quite ex-
tensive and a great many codes of other
states have been searched, as well as
Alabama matter Probably no more fit
ting man for this work coulS be found
than Judge Maylled. His extensive
knowledge of the law, his wonderful pow
err of application, and the experience al
ready had in the compilation of his splen-

for suen an undertaking. The code, of
course must be submitted to the legis-
lature when it convenes, and VIII then
be adopted by them, with what changes
