Col T. C. Thompson, mayor of Chatta-
nooga, which has a commission of five
members, was In Birmingham yesterday.
He left yesterday afternoon for Tusca-
loosa, where he will deliver an address
this afternoon before the Confederate
Neterans's association in celebration OF
Memorial Day. The veterans at Tusca-
loosa are celebrating the holiday a day
early rather than on tomorrow. which
is the legal holiday.
Mr.. Thompson stopped over to see a
few friends here. lie was guest at
luncheon yesterday of Crawford Johnson.
Colonel Thompson was mayor of Chat
tanooga IS months before the commission
was established, and Is serving as presi-
dent of that board now. The commits
sion has been in effect two years in Chat
tanooga.
I'VE find the board of FIVE members, -
said Colonel Thompson, very satisfac-
tory. More so | imagine, than a smaller
board The mayor is chief executive. The
municipal work is aportioned among the
other members. The people of our city.

as l can observe a great deal has been
accomplished quicker and for the best
good of the city under the new law.
"Our elections are held in a non-parti-
san primary In which any may partici-
pate that are qualified. The highest
man is mayor, while the remaining men,
bers serve for terms dependent upon their
vote.
Chattanooga is pushing ahead fine. We
are prosperous there and are gaining
every year. The business conditions are
good and there seems TO be a feeling or
optimism in all circles. We are hosts
to the Confederate Veterans in May. We
expect very large gathering at this
time and are arranging to give the old
heroes a fine time. The historic country
about Chattanooga Will, | believe, appeal
to the veterans very forceably."
Colonel Thompson said that birmingham
was place highly regarded by the
thoughtful men of Chattanooga, and was
being watched with unusual keenness to
see what we were accomplishing here. lie
said the potlatch festival now being held
was rather unionue proposition, and
had attracted a great deal of attention
all over the northern part of this state
and Tennessee.

while at work on the new Jefferson

the south. Mr.. Ihlder's address was in
part follows:
"The housing problem of the south is
not fundamentally race problem; rather
i is an economic problem, just as is
the housing problem of the north
But If the south has some phases Of
the housing problem peculiar to itself
SO have other sections phases no less
battling and peculiar to themselves
The growing colonies of aliens of for
eign speech who have no interest in
the country, who come here but for a
brief period during which they hope to
earn enough to live in comfort in their
native lands and whose only thought
" hile here is to live at as little expense
as possible. constitute a problem which
the north does not find easy of solution
And in some ways these people are more
difficult to deal with than those who
form the greatest part of the laboring
population of the south. From what |
have seen in several southern cities
would say that the colored people are
more cleanly in their homes than are
some of the immigrants from southern
and eastern Europe. And such cleanli-
ness is one of the most encouraging in
dications of the possibility for improve
ment Perhaps the most serious indict-
ment against the negro is his tendency
to overcrowd the house, especially at
certain seasons of the year. Yet there
can be no worse overcrowding in southern
cities when plantation work ceases than
there iss in northern cities when the
railroad and other construction gangs
return at the approach of winter The
fundamentals of good housing here are
the same as the fundamentals of good
housing everywhere. And the people who
most need help give evidence Of being

THE increase in the number of rented
houses as compared to those occupied
by, their owners tends to increase the
work which the city must undertake in
the interests of the public health The
landlords interest usually, Is confined
to getting as large an income as pos
sihle from his property. Our quarrel with
this begins when he takes too short
sighted a view of his interest and saueezes
the property for present profits regard
less of the effect upon its future value
OF upon the value of neighboring prop
erty, or when he goes so far In his in
difference as to endanger the health of
his tenants and of the community. In
either case the city should act
1T is fair question to ask why the
landlord should expect to reap inordi-
nate profits from those least able to
pay. Why should the owner of shacks
and novels get more on his investment
than the owner of high class office build-
ings and good residences? Is there any
reason except that experience has shown
that he can, and a complaisant public
opinion which takes his assertion thai
these people would not appreciate any-
thing better
Housing reform is not a problem of
class or race, it Is community prob
lem in which each one of us Is vitality
concerned
Following Mr.. Ihlder, Judge G. G.
Rhoe spoke on "rhe Social EVIL" The
solution of this problem was in law en-
forcement. he declared. lie also touched
on the so-called white slave traffic "The
time has come,'' he said, when sex hy-
Eiene should be taught to the children
Perhaps we are not quite ready for sex
education in the schools. Teachers must
first be taught what and how to teach
the children in the schools Therefore
courses should be instituted in the nor
