ton of all the banks in the city was
asked, also that of the churches and
many other similar questions.
Chief of Police Sanders asked the
officers some very important queS-
tons in regard TO general duties,
many of which were answered very
unsatisfactory.
Very few of the questions asked
either By the board or Mr.. Sanders
can not be found in the police manuel

Each member of the police force is
required to have one Of these pocket
manuels and TO learn them.
Perhaps the lowest per cent. was
made upon a lack of knowledge OF
public officials and their residences.
Some Of those examined knew
scarcely any Of the United States,
state, county or city officers. Some
didn't even know where the mayor 5
Office is. They were also badly mixed
upon street descriptions. On an
average they knew the hotels and
public buildings fairly well.

AS a matter of course these police
examinations by the board of public
safety is gong to bring about
change in the affairs of the depart
ment. There is a standard regula-
ton upon proficiency, and it is the de-
termination of the board to reach this
standard If possible. The members
take the position that it is an inJus-
tice to the city and to the travelling
public generally to nave men upon
the police force who are not so
thoroughly familiar with these re-
Quirements that they could not give
information readily and accurately
when called upon to do so.
There will be other similar exam
nations held at an early date.

this end. and thinks it sad state OF
affairs when citizens have to organ
lie law and order leagues TO enforce
the laws that officers are paid to en-
force, concluding that when officers
of the law commercialiZe themselves,
anarchy is drawing near.
OFFICERS HAVE FAILED.
Touching failure of the officers of
the law, the governor says:
Nothing can so weaken the fibres
of a state as a condition of lawless-
ness engendered by neglect, careless
ness or connivance Of public officials
paid by the public to discharge their
duty and sworn to do the same. AS
lawmakers you can do no higher
service than to enact a statute that
will establish a method Of quick ar
raignment and trial OF official delin-
qIIents."
Two extra sessions in two years in
diCate the necessity of biennial seS-
sions, the governor thinks. and he
advises amendments for this and
smaller county areas, making three
amendments in all. He compliments
the members on the laws already
passed and the fact that with the new
passenger and freight rates upheld
by the federal court to the extent of
a trial at least, transportation is as
cheap as in Georgia and the Caro-
linas. The rates reduced are not con-
fined to freight but express as well,
and two and a half cent passenger
fare.
Briefly the following subjects are
handled: Tax laws, largely increased
appropriations for schools and old
soldiers, establishment of fish, game
and forestry laws, soil survey, live
stock boards and military improve
ment, all approved; certain deficit in
treasury expected, but justified by
the many improvements in schools
and soldier care, and brought about
by prohibition taxes lost, not antici-
pated when expenditures were pro-
viGed for. However, the governor
counts the license on liquors we'll lost
holding that the state should rejoice
that it has cut loose from the reve-
nue. thus secured.

BOARD TO BUILD
 BARN FOR FAIR

The county Board of Revenue has about decided to build a model barn at the Alabama State Fair grounds in time for the coming fair in October. A. L. Fulenwiler has donated funds for the erection of a modern sanitary model dairy.
 Petitioners appeared before the board yesterday. and while no appropri- ation was made, the idea met with favor among the members.
 These two features will attract many industrious farmers from vari- ous parts of the state. The proper housing of stock to prevent disease and to successfully handle the anil mals is big problem upon which the government has worked continually, and these models will give the best result, it Is thought.
 The stock exhibits from the stat this year will be unusually large, 1t is said. Several breeders from the southern por- ton have already engaged space. Ev- cry year this branch of farm work is gaining as modern methods are adopted"
