The above cut calls attention, first, to the number of new counties 1t will be possible to create under the new county amendment: if it should be adopted
 It is not generally believed that 1t would be an advantage to the state to have the additional counties suggested, nor has any good reason been advanced as to why there should be this additional burden on the taxpayers to support new officers, erect new buildings and provide all the paraphanalia necessary to equip the new

T ext
 of the Ragsdale Amendment

That new counties may be created or formed and established out of any portion of any existing county, or out of any portions of any two or more counties in the manner following: If five hundred of the qualified electors of the state residing in the territory put of which it is proposed to create and establish the new county, shall petition the judge of probate of the county from which the territory is to be taken. or the probate judge of the county from which the greatest area is to be taken in the formation of the proposed county, stating that they de- sire to form new county, for an order calling an election to be held Tn the proposed territory for the county, stating that they desire to form a new county, the area, the proposed bound arv lines, approximate population and taxable valuation of the property, which petition will be verified by one of the petitioners under oath before the judge of probate to whom the pc tition is presented, said judge of pro bate shall, if the population is suffi- ;ient to entitle the proposed county to one representative in the legislature ot
 the state according to the last proceed ing United States census reports, and the taxable value of the county shall be equal to or exceed one million dol lars and 1t has the constitutional area, and the area of the old counties will not be reduced below the constitution al limit, nor their population reduced so as to cut off the right to one rep resentative in the legislature, and the boundary line will not run within seven miles of the court house of any old county, at once order an election to be held by the qualified electors Of the state residing within the territory of the proposed county, nor more than ninety days from the time of making the order for the election; provided, that if either of the old counties have two court houses one of them may be cut off into the new county"

The above cut shows the territory that would be taken away from Jefferson county, if the new county amendment should be adopted and new county established with Bessemer as the county seat.
 The question is put squarely before the people of Jefferson county as to the wisdom of allow ing about two-ffths of its territory. taken from it, territory the richest in coal and ore deposis, in which are located the most productive mines in the state, with numerous blast-furnaces and industrial plants, and in which the greatest de-

veopment in this line in the future must be hoped for.
 No one has ever contended that the lands in this territory, or the improvements thereon be- long to Jefferson county. Neither do the lands in any other part of the county, or the improve ments thereon, belong to Jefferson county; but they constitute its domain, and furnish the basis of wealth, population and all the other assets tangible or intangible that must be taken into account when considering county, great or small

 great commercial and industrial centre-a great ctyis needed with great banks and trust companies, fire and life insurance companies, and all the other institutions of power and strength necessary to the broad and comprehensive development and expansion which is gradually but surely prevailing the entire South.
 If Birmnghams present rate of growth is con tinued for few years it would be necessary to eN- tend its corporate limits beyond the proposed boundary lines of the county
 If the population of Jefferson county increases for the next two decades in the ratio it has in the past will have million people; its tax values will exceed $30OOOOOO0 it will be represented Tn the national legislature by half dozen able gressmen 1t will be the pride of the state of Alabama, the glory of the South; it will be known throughout the world and be admired by all men.

 If this amendment is adopted what as= surance is there that it will not be followed soon by another reducing the necessary county area to 300 square miles; opening the food-gates to endless confusion and trouble.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-11-01
NO ADVANTAGE TO PEOPLE IN NEW
 TERRITORY.

It has never been contended that county bound- ary line drawn practically midway between Birmlng- ham and Bessemer would the territory one inch farther from either of the cities mentioned but no one will deny that measure which dlvers trade and travel from Birmingham will to that extent re- duce it's trade It will be advantage to the citizens between Birmingham and Bessemer and citizens liv- ing in the new county territory almost remote from Bessemer as Birmingham to be compelled in the tu- ture to go to Bessemer to transact business with county officials which has heretofore been done in Br mingham In many instances these people would be compelled to 20 to Bessemer by way of Birmingham, with great loss of time and general inconvenience.
 MEANS INCREASED TAXES.
 A division of territory would leave Jefferson coun- tv with practically the hxei charges, the same county officers and the general parapanalia necessary to administer its duties with smaller revenues. This in turn would entail increased tax rates and in lieu thereof increased tax values
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-11-01

The new county likewise would have to take care of it's proraa part of the present indebtedness ot ef- ferson county and provide court house; poor house. and other public institutions with all the salaried officers etc, necessary to the county govern ment which would mean increased tax values and burdens for every citizen in the new county.
 Jefferson county is not trying to rob any other city town or county. It is not seeking to annex any additional territory but it asks simply to be let alone in the enjoyment of all that belongs to 1t by inherit ance It is neither greedy nor avaricious. It would not be true to its interests if it did not oppose any and all measures looking to the partition of its territory the diminishing in any way of its re- sources power and prestige.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-11-01
GREATER BIRMINGHAM AND JEFFERSON

Every argument made in the interest ot Greater Birmingham is argument in favor of maintaining the integrity of Jefferson county There is ample territory and unlimited resources for the building of a great city, which will ultimately be practically com nlensurate with the county in which it is located The interests of the city and county are identical
