Money for Birmingham Postoffice

Despite the pressure that might be
brought to bear, 1T is definitely known
that Birmingham viii not be given n
postoffice costing more than $1,000,000.

Bile on the future OF city is unfair
to the nation. It involves no personal
graft, but a graft committed against
the people of the United states. A
halt must be called in the matter OF
needless appropriations. 1t is neces-
sary that this halt affect the floor

could not ask fer an Unnecessary
appropriation and then insist that 9TH

"There Is no question but that the
requisite appropriation VIII be given

Underwood Says Birming-

Cost Over One Million
O'NEAL IN CAPITAL
ON SECRET MISSION
Some Democratic Heartburnings Are
Expected if Wilson Decides to Re-
tain All Republican Fourth
Glass Postmasters
by HUGH W. RopEnrs

Washington, January 22.-tspeeialo
As to whom DR.. Wilson will invite to
accept portfolios in his cabinet there
is grave doubt As to the method which
will be employed by the new Presi-
dent in the disposition OF patronage in
Alabama, there IS grave doubt. But
that he will permit the fourth class
postmasters to retain the sineeures
seems to be an accepted fact.
President Taft. as is known. put the
fourth class postmasters, without hav-
ing previously injured by examina-
tions. into their fitness under civil
service regulation. which means that
unless Dr. Wilson or some succeed
ing President revokes the order Of
Taft all the little fellows who hand
out mail in Alabama and in other states
will continue in their present positions
forever. Mr.. Underwood and other
democrats were hopeful that Wilson
would revoke that order of Taft and
that the bars would be so lowered that
all men, republicans and democrats
alike, might have an equal showing
through examinations to land the lit
tie plums in all the states.

Underwood this morning, 'as to what

opinion is proved to be true. the re-
publicans in office today will remain

the hands of the President. We might
express our opposition by majority
vote, but that expression would have
no effect"
