Petitions For Million Dollar Bond Issue Election Are Being Signed Rapidly and Board of Revenue Will Probably

Frank W. Smith

q am heartily in favor of the good roads bond issue,'' said Alderman Frank W. Smith yesterday. T consider it one of the greatest needs of the county. I signed the petition and will do all catfto help put it through
 Tn my opinion, however the expendi- ture of the fund should be in the hands of a special commission, appointed by legis- lative enactment, and should be put through on the mos, modern basis. think the bill should provide that munic- ipal lines be ignored. and the commits sion have the right to spend the money on the development of great highways running through the county. There is no reason why road should be allowed to become impossible simply because it hap pens to run through little municipality or a suburb. This commission should have very liberal authority to use it's own judgment in such matters
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-01-27

It would appear that there are re" subjects upon which citizens would rather talk than good roads, From the way Ill which the petitions to the Board of Reve- nue for millon-dollar bond issue cleo ton are being signed, the Board of Reve- nue will undoubtedly be called upon to act on the question in the near future.
 "The issuance of bonds to the amount of s1,000,O00 is a matter that should be given earnest consideration. said Capt. H. w. Crook of Bessemer. While favor the bond issue in a general way, as believe good roads essential to the progress and prosperity of the county, still, the sum is too large to be handled in any other than a strict business-like way.
 "I do not impugn the integrity or in- telligence of the members of the present Board of Revenue. On the other hand, believe they would welcome well defined plan as to how and where the money should be expended. The roads of our county should be our pride. and If the matter is well defined and properly pre- sented, I believe the bond issue will carry by handsome majority and would give 1t my hearty support"

Put me down as agreeing in toto with the ideas of B. M. Allen on this bond is- sue,' said James Weatherly.
 Tt is no reflection on the present board to want to give this great duty of build ing a complete system of highways to another commission, with additional pow CTS.

Walter B. FOwlkes

T do not consider any proposition for this county of more pressing importance than the bond issue for good roads, said Walter B. Fowlkes. "The proper con servation of the roadways of this county has been neglected In the past. Birming- ham and Jefferson county are attracting too much attention to have visitors come here and find us with such shabby roads. The issue of N,0OO. 900 worth of bonds should meet with favor and pass before the people,"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-01-27
John q. Lusk

''The- bond issue for good roads is catch ing like wildflre all over this county and will pass as sure as anything can be-" said John c. Lusk. "The good roads sen- timent has been brewing for many months and it is now reaching climax which will make it possible for us to have highways just as good as any in the country. I hope and believe the issue will be passed upon favorably by the people,"

w, A. Gibson

'.The bond issue is of interest to the people down about Ilittleton and out in the country" said w A Gibson. "They view 1t with favor and I believe 1t will carry without any trouble, However the spending of $100o,0o0 for good roads is no easy task and 1t should be entrusted to men known for their understanding of the subject in hand and their qualifica- tions in other ways"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-01-27
H. H. Ewing

There is no question that a million dollar bond issue for good roads would be of great benefit to Jefferson county, and I am in favor of having such an issue, said II. H. Ewing yesterday afternoon. '"The condition of the highways in com munity Is a good index to the prosperity of that place, and where there are good roads the farmers and others will usually be found prosperous.
 Good roads will make Birmingham greater They will make Jefferson county greater, and will tend to make both city and county more attractive to outside in terests. Good roads will enable the small farmers within a radius of 50 miles of Birmingham to market their produce Tn Birmingham at a much lower price and will aid both themselves and us
 Another benefit of having good roads is in relation to the railroad problem. Good roads are lever with which to force the railroads to be reasonable in their treatment of the people. While do not believe in fighting the railroads, l think that they should be more liberal in their policies and one way to force them to be so Is to nave good roaos.
 "In my position I have had occasion to observe roads and their relation to the people Without good roads district, even such as Birmingham. is seriously handicapped. There is untold wealth in the south and a large portion of it in Birmingham. The best way to get it is to have good roads.
 Tn my opinion there is nothing that s1 .O0O, GOO could be spent for which would bring greater and quicker results. The election should be called by the Board Of Revenue and at an early date.'
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-01-27
Wallace Johns

q am very much in favor of million dollar bond issue for good roads, said Wallace Johns yesterday afternoon. ''rhere is nothing that will build up the county and Birmingham quicker than good roads. I do not believe that s1,00o,O0o could be spent more advantageously by Jefferson county than by improving the roads.
 q am in favor of having the Board of Revenue call the election and call it at once. The quicker the roads are i'm proved in the county the better for the welfare of the city and county"

ACUA PR|ETA STANDS
 BY FRANCISCO MADERO
Political Club Sends a Delegate te
 Convention in City of Mexico.

With the entire country of Mexico wrapped up in the throes of a com ing presidential election. the city of Agua Prieta. across the international border from Douglas. has been hold ing political meetings for the purpose of determining the candidate to whom the support of the city shall be giv- en.
 The political club. which was or ganized some time ago with the an nounced purpose of supporting Fran cisco l. Madero for president. held a meeting last Sunday. During the meeting telegram was received from the headcuarters of the anti ico. telling the club at Agua Rrieta that the anti-reelection party had re- pudiated Madero and would oppose his election as president. and ask ing that the club do likewise.
 This telegram caused much inter est and at first the disposition was to take no definite action until a telegram could be sent asking the reason for the repudiation of Madero. There was some heated discussion on this proposition and finally it was decided that they would not consider the telegram but go or and support Madero in accordance with the orig inal purpose of the club.
 This being the decision, it was agreed that they would send a dele gate to the national convention of the Progressive party recently an- nounced by Madero. and which will support his candidacy. The man se- lected to represent the Agua Prieta club in this national convention was Juan Espinoza, secretarv of the club. and he was instructed to sppDOrt the candidacy of Francisco l. Madero :or president.
 Orson Brown, who was a pioneer in the establishment of Colonia Morales. and who has become a citizen Of Mexico. was present at the club meet ing yesterday. and was one of the ac- tive supporters of Madero. Mir. Brown stated this morning that the way po- litical matters were now shaping themselves in Mexico. he doubted if Madero could win. though he is loyal to him and thinks he is deserving os the honor. and that once in the pres idential chair re will he able to na- cify the country and restore political peace and industrial prosperity.

"WHAT, NEVER7 WELL.
 HARDLY EVER!'

There was a time when the vogue of "Pinafore" was simply amazing. It was not copyrighted and. after its success in London. 1t was pirated in the United States. This piracy was the initial cause of Gilbert's hatred of America and Americans.
 However. if America did not send him its dollars, 1t was quite ready to spread his fame. says the Bookman. Church ehoirs added "Pinafore"~ to their repertoires. and it is recorded that 100. 900 barrel organs were con structed to play nothing else. Here is an ironical note from a newspaper of the time:
 At present there are forty-two companies playing 'Pinafore' Com panies formed after p. m. yesterday are not included"
 Its catch phrase, What. never? Well, hardly ever." was deadly. It is told. for instance. that one editor barred his staff from using 1t.
 Tt occurred twenty times in as many articles yesterday. Never let me see it used again" What. never?" was the unanimous question. Well,
  man.
 The readiness of W. s. Gilbert's wit is we'll illustrated by this story told of him. He and F. c. Burnand. the editor of Punch. were guests at the same dinner table where>a wise host placed the rival humorists at oppo-i site ends of the room in the hope of distributing equally the witty table talk.
 Continual shouts of laughter rose from Gilbert's corner until Burnand. after intellectual attempts to arouse a similar jocularity in his immediate circle, and unable to conceal his cha grin, leaned forward and said in his most sarcastic manner:
 "I suppose MT. Gilbert is telling some of those funny stories which he occasionally sends to Punch. but which don't appear"
 To which Gilbert dryly replied. "l| don't know who send the funny sto- ries to Punch. but it's very true they don't appear"-New York Sun
