the little city of Taliadega. Alabama. to
set the example for city officers who do
not know what to do when confronted
with commission govcrnment-the is
sue which is popping up everywhere
and which usually evokes the strenu-
Gus opposition of the men who are in
authority at the city hall
When the matter of adopting the
commission form OF government was
preached in Taliudesa. the subject was
discussed by the Aldermen of the city,
and their decision was to keep their
hands oily. Because their position upon
the matter was of keen interest TO the
people. and likewise source OF much
speculation, the officers got together
and declared themselves in the follow

he is of frugal mind. though OF lavish

might recoup at least a large part of
the wealth he put out in this venture
by going into the vaudeville business
Almost any one Of the lar1er amuse-
