by prominent citizens of Autauga and
Montgomery counties, and his friends
feel hopeful of his appointment.

STORY OF LEGISLATION FOR STATE CONVICT DEPARTMENT

save those under investigation at the
present time, entirely responsible. For
although there seems to be no question
but that the action of the previous adj
ministration in matters of convict legis-
lation was unwise. in that it made 1t pos
sibe for an INSCRIPTIONS official or other
employe to make away with the funds
of the public it is equally as true that
Governor O'Neal. acclaimed one of the
frest students of government, one of the
aptest theorists of government, was pre-
scented with magnificent opportunity
to bring a change In the system.
And the present governor is entirely
responsible for the men with whom he
filled the convict department. and when
one member of the official family goes
astray. no other member wholly escapes
the criticism of the people. In view OF
the testimony which has been adduced,
1t appears certain that Governor ONeal
misjudged James G. Oakley when he con-
sdered him careful and watchful man
to be placed at the head of the second
greatest revenue producing department of
the government. Governor O Neal has
the satisfaction OF knowing, however,
that the petition of Mr.. Oakley was per-
haps the most magnificent ever present
ed for the consideration of an appoin-
tive power in Alabama, and that il the
distinguished Alabamians who signed that
petition were honest in their desire that
Oakley be appointed, there were other
men in the state who were as mistaken
in their choice of material as he.

NO URGENT NEED
FOR COMPANION BILL

1t is indisputably true that there was no
urgent need for the companion bill to
that which amended the code of 1896.
There was absolutely no question but
that bond was not needed. There was
no doubt but that every dollar belonging
to the state would be turned over TO the
state, and no administration has ever
scored more brilliant record than that
of Craig Smith. And had the bin been

CONSIDERABLE CRITICISM
DIRECTED TO O'NEAL

Governor O'Neal has been subjected
to considerable criticism since the si-
gantic scandal has developed, especially
in view of the fact that his examiners
have reported that discrepancies oc-
CURED as early as 1911, the first year
of his administration. And in this con-
nection a recent statement of Examiner
J. T. German is to the effect that the
present complete investigation of every
department of the convict system will
be, when complete, the first ever made
under any Administrations and it Is def
ntely established that minor discrepan-
cies could not be discovered without ex-
aiming each OF the camps which pro-
duce revenue. and checking each against
the other. II Examiner German is corr
rect in his statement that no thorough
examination OF the department has ever
been made, the responsibility may as
justly be placed on the shoulder Of one
governor as on that of another of those
who have served the people since the
creation OF the department

He Is conducting an examination which
is to be thorough and as a result Of which
all roguery and all dishonest tactics, all

He has dismissed James G. Oakley
from the service of the state and will
aid in furnishing evidence in an effort
to convict him OF embezzlement. And
the man who succeeds Mr.. Oakley will
be required to make bond in favor of
the state in a sum judged sufficiently
large TO guarantee the state against an
other loss.
And 1t is beyond all question true that
when the legislature is next called to-

that part OF the constructive" legisla-

funds of the convict department.
