CITY'S FINANCES IN

AND DEMAND RELIEF
Prominent Merchant Says Railroads
Should Be Allowed to Raise Some
Rates Instead of Lower
ing Them

In a statement issued yesterday in ref
erence to the extra session which is en-
gaging the attention of all thoughtful men
of this city, ID. M. Drennen. head of Dren-
nent company, points out some rather in
terestlng features of the situation. He
urges the governor to call the extra ses-
sion and also suggests that until the sti-
pends drawn by four officials in the
courthouse are cut down, this city, county
and state will continue to suffer and be
embarrassed before the country.
In his statement Mr.. Drennen stands
squarely behind George E. Ward, presi-
dent of the city commission. The inter-
view of Mr.. Drennen was prepared with
considerable care. He makes the interest
ing statement that railroad rates should
be increased for the reason that cost Of
business is greater now than in years
past, yet the railroads are continually be-
ing asked and made to reduce rates. Such
doctrine coming from a big shipper will
be of special interest. The statement OF
Mr.. Drennen follows:
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-11-20


In his speech in Birmingham Saturday
evening at the Gipsy Smith auditorium
Oscar w. Underwood will refer to the
passionate oratory" indulged in by his
opponent, Captain Hobson, at the Jeffer-
son theatre Tuesday evening
Mr.. Underwood before leaving for Do
than yesterday afternoon, stated that he
would not be tempted to wade with Cap
tain Eobson into the mire of vicious poll
tics, but that he would be very frank
in discussing the record of his honorable
opponent
'In legitimate way" he stated II
will handle his record without gloves. But
/ will not follow his example of stating
things that cannot be sustained by the
record | have no desire to assassinate
his character | have no desire to de
ceive the people by adroit misrepresenta-
tion. But l will have something to say
in regard to his conduct in Congress and
in Alabama"
Plans for Rally
The Underwood rally will occur at the
Gipsy Smith auditorium beginning at Z
o. clock. The friends of the distinguished
leader Of democracy, who In the present
campaign in Alabama. represents the
democratic administration, have promised
large crowd. There will pe represen-
tatives present from every beat in the
county.
Prior to the gathering of the Under
wood forces in the auditorium there will
he. oh do do axffIl
be formed at the courthouse at 6 O'clock
and will march under "a blaze of red
fire" through the downtown streets to
the auditorium. Some of the citizens in
the parade will be mounted but the great
throng will be on foot Capt. Il. j. Nc
Crossin win have charge OF the parade,
and yesterday he was busy in making
arrangements.
This is to be the last appearance in
his return to Washington. where he goes
next week. His friends are planning to
give him a farewell party as large
and representative as was his welcome
party
In announcing plans for the rally, Mr..
Underwoods leaders stated yesterday
that ladies' would be welcomed, and as
fluences, has reached the women of the
state, it is safe to presume that there
will be present a large number of them.
"a Solid Jefferson"
The Underwood leaders are preparing
to carry Jefferson county for Underwood
by majority of 1000. The slogan Is "A
Solid jefferson" AT the present time they
are confident that Jefferson will give Tn
derwood a majority of 500, but they
want to make the total 1000. The contest
is one between the three largest coun-
ties of the state. each having determined
to give democracy a greater majority in
proportion to voting strength than either
of the others.
The fact that Captain Hobson was heard
Tuesday night by 20o0 people. gave the
Underwood leaders little concern. They
state that there were present 500 people
from other counties, and of the remain
der more than 900 were Underwood sup
porters, and several hundred were women
and children.
Underwood leaders conclude that SOC
Jefferson county voters out of a total
of 1900. gathered together as a result
of weeks of toll. indicates very little
Hobson strength in this county.

something must be done at once in order
to save the credit of the city, but L am

are paying four men whose places could
be filled with good and competent men
for $4,000, thereby saving the country
about $4,000 per annum.
IF the governor is unwilling to call the
legislature together in order that these
corrections might be made, then we might
as well face the inevitable now, which
means default and disaster to our munich

moralization in our city, county and state

Mistake in Railroad Fight

pie are making a mistake in continually

We have secured substantial reductions.
At the same time we all know that the

disclosing thereby an almost unbelievable
and deplorable situation. IL we are to Sc
cure efficient municipal service, pay our
debts and run our city's business honestly
and fairly something must be done at
once. The sanest and only remedy is An
extra session of the lawmakers. Some
persons say that the governor will hesi-

willing to believe that the governor OF
this commonwealth win act so blindly in
this crisis in our affairs. l do not believe
that the governor will jeopardize the
honesty Of this city by refusing to grant
this urgent and only remedy of our cry
