 Selma. Jan. Especial. )---R p. +. Neil. President of the Alabama Press Association. sent out today an appeal through the afternoon papers addressed to the members of the association. ask : ing them to wire the senators at Montgomery and writ5 their represen- tatives urging favorable votes oih\ the newspaper amendment to the anti-pass bill which was reported to the Senate Thursday.
 The informatlon that the Senate had again re-committed the bill and at Governor Comer's wish would knock out tho amendment led to the follow ing statement tonight from Mir. Mel:
 Captain White representing the Governor before the committee on It's second consideration. is reported to have said the question was one purely of political policy and that he doubted if 1t would stand the test of the courts.
 "As the executive head of the Ala bama Press Association earnestly call upon the press of the State to insist on the futility of Legislation that is proposed from any quarter with political policy for its only excuse,
 Surely the Senators and Represen- tatives in the Legislature of Alabama VIII not put any cldSS oI tHeH Wi stituents to the expense of litigation to carry out political. policy when that policy cannot be founded upon constitutional right or equity.
 "So far as the Aailles of the State are concerned the question of con tracting for exchange of space for transportation with the railroads does not amount to anything. but I would be recalcitrant to what f beiieve my duty as the head of the Alabama Press Association if did not protest against an invasion of the inherent rights of q majority of the members of the Association by an attempt to prevent lawful exchange of their commodities for anything of value to them.
 T therefore again urge that every newspaper editor interested conmu- nicate with the Senators and Repre- sentatives under their right as con stituents and appeal for the passage of the amendment twice reported favor ably by the committee of the Senate and once agreed upon by the author of the bill who declares the measure does not affect the newspapers"

 day morning with interesting exercises including speeches by several profni nent Montgomery men. and was attend cd by a large number of the patrons and friends of the school.
 Prof E. R. Barnes, principal of the school some time ago, purchased and
 at considerable expense. remodeled the
 old Pickett home at the intersection of
 Afoulton and Clayton streets. and af-
 ter the moving of the school eauip-
 ment from the basement of the Church
 of Christ, where the school has been
 conducted for several years, the for

 The school for boys Is now splcndidly
 equipped for work. The entire inter-

 Tho Wilcox Senator Us one of the veteran lawmakers who are working at their jobs at 'he. Capitol. He has heen here many times. and he has seen tho men who tried to Keep on the pep ular side of every ques.ion come and go. and he has seen issuas rise and fall But his people h we confidence in him. and they have cor rtinued to send him to make laws for them.
 The Wilcox Senator Is of tho opin- ion that the corporations nut uE job on the peo-le when tho Constitution al Convention provil 4d the Legislature @hould meet only every four years q. He is not convinced the people believe a GU: drcnnial session of the LeEisla- ture is a good thing and h". wants them to have a. chance to say what they think about It.
 Senator Jones thought the Alabama Senate. like the Senate nf the United States. ought to nar its own com mites. He honestly thought that. He thought the exeNuti"e an' the leH- .sla'tve departments cr 4 q State gov- Q Ement, wAre clearly defined by the new Constitution.
 in thinking this no WAS not in the ma aiority of the present Senate. but still he did not change his mind. As a result Senator JoGes Is not on many of the Senate committees The best committees went to the Senators who jumped ,he way the cat was going to jump.f
 Senator Jones. being veteran. was slow about learning these new tricks of jumping with the majority, and he has not uiu.h work tp do with the conan t'tees. But when ;he iIs come up. he can tell the Senate what he thinks about them, and re docs. too |.

EDITORS PASS I IS NOW DOOMED Governor Conner Takes Hand in Matter. COMMITTEE GIVEN ORDERS Must Kill Amendment Quietly Rut
 Certainly. Members Hold 0u. yaiiahtIy, Bat Fin ally Are Forced To Give Away To
 Administration strong

The Senate Committee on Commerce and Common Carriers yesterday took the newspaper amendment to the anti pass bill away from the Senate and be- fore the Senators gather again. the committee will sorrowfuliy and regret fully put the amendment to death The lob is not to the liking Of the com mittee, but the Governor has ordered 1t.
 The committee stood out as long as 1t could It disregarded orders to kill the amendment as long as those or ders were sent second hand, but when the orders came at first hand, when the Governor himself told the com mittee what he thought of that amend merit, and insisted on its execution, that was inore than the committee could stand. The bill, together with the amendment, was on the calendar yes- terday with a favorable report. The Committee on Commerce and Common Carriers asked the Senate to return 1t for further consideration.
 - The Senate understood what that meant. The Senators knew they would never look on the face of that poor

lnsnt was the chief subjsst of the con- vcfsation. and the Governor personally fteld tic meters of the committee what he thought Of that ai1endUent
 It is known. too. that the deadly ear- nestness of the Governor that the amendment should be killed at al haz- ards. made deep impression on the members of the committee. It is known he told ths commitsse he regarded thai bill as one of the f1,Kt Important ad- ministration bilis wi1i5h had ye. been presented, and he urged its passage without the amendpent with all the pow CTS at his compsand. Some of tho members were inclined to believe 1t meant breaking with the administra- ton If they supported the amendment.
 So yesterday the committee took the amendment and went of with 1t. The well informed say the life cf that amendment is not worth five cents. Its doom has been sealed by an executive order.

Aftel sevefal flights Of oratory, the amend nient was tabled. on motion of Mir Steagall of Dale. by vote of 51 to 32 the theory of the majority being tha hsh were not the property of the own. CTS of the land. but of the pceople o the the whole State.
 All amendments having been dis. posed Of. arguments on the bill, as [ whole, were begun. Mir. Pitts of Perry took the leading part against the bill insisting 1t was class Legislation. and tnat the poor mountaineers were not e;vea the same rights under it as the niii'oi aire yachtsmen from Mobile. Mir Lee Of Etowah also spoke against the measure.
 Mir Steagail of Dale. author of the sill. insisted it was an absolutely far bill, and its opponents were seeking to make It class legislation by giving the landowners of the State undue advant- agds under 1t. to the detriment of the poor man who owned no land
 Upfr final passage, the friends of the Dill mustered 1T votes to Al for It's op- ponents. If order to prevent it's re- consideration Monday, a motion to re- consider the vote by which 1t was paaseI was made and promptly laid on the tai.ty.

The usual motion to reconsider was promptly laid or the table, and the bill was sent to the Sem ate without being engrossed.
 MT. Hoffman of Mobile moved to re- commit House Bill No. 2s4, local measure referring to Mobile County, to the Committee on Municipal Organise tion, in order that some Mobile people might have hearing upon it, but Mr. Lyons of Mobile. the author, objected. and the bill was loft on the calendar.

amendment again. The committee had been charged with a pathetic duty. The members of that committee felt like the children who have been told by the grown folks to take the old cats five kittens down to the branch and drown them. The committee wants 10 keep the amendment, like the children want to keep the kittens. but the fiat has gone forth The amendment mus nc killed. quietly. secretly and without any noise or excitement.
 It wouldn't do to kill the amendment publicly. Every Senator would have to go on record, and probably he would be asked to explain his vote by the editors of the newspapers in his section. Therefore, tho secret and quiet meth cd of putting the amendment to death was determined upon. The committee can take the amendment down to n room at the Glenmore and there smo -
 ther 1t to death, and the Alabama edi-
 tors will not know who did the fell deed.
 Every Senator knows the execution is taking place at the Governors orders Every Seaator knows that the Senate Committee favors giving the editors oi Alabama the right to trade space m their papers for railroad transportation | They know the committee has twice gone on record on this. They know tho committee went on record on thIs lalthouEh Capt. Frank $.

SENATOR B. A. FORESTER.

This is Senator B. A. Forester pondering over the inequalities of the tax tag. Senator Forester is from the Wlregrnss section of Alabama. He vas born there, and hc has lived a 1org and useful life fir that section of the State.
 He has known the time when that section of Alabama was contemptu ously referred to as the "cow counties of Alabama" And he has lived to see the day when it is considered the richest agricultural section of the State.
 If the Senate would criy consent to abolish tke tag tax. Senator Forester would go home satisfied. There are two things Senator E'orrestcr's peo- pie want, and they are railroad rate reform and the abolition of the tag tax. The Senator thinks he Ia going to get one of the things trey want. but he is mighty fearful about the other.
 Senator Forester is ono Of the quiet. working members of tho Legls- lature. He has never appeared on tho floor except for one brief fleeting moment, in which he described the horrors of the tag tax. But he has voted on every question. anl he has been in his seat every time the Sen ate school kept.
 The Senator probably knows more about the guano business than any man in the Senate. He has sold more of the stuff than any other Senator, and he has farmed some, and mer- chandised some. as well. The Senator gets wages of four dollars a day, but he has prospered with the Wiregrass, fnG he probably could pay expenses if he were not gstting such good wages.
