WHY MUNICIPAL
ELECTION GOES ON
WITHOUT FURRY
Commission Law Has Strict
Provisions About Way
Candidates Conduct
Their Campaigns

As reason why the municipal cam
paign, which will come to a oonclu-
sion Saturday evening, has been and
will probably continue to be dull and
devoid of interesting features. those ia
miliar with the provisions OF the bill
creating commission form of govern
ment in Birmingham cite the fact that
restrictions are placed around candi-
dates and their friends which make
fuss and feathers" we'll nigh impos-
sible.
The bill provides that no money shall
be expended in an effort to buy votes.
The general law. as a matter of fact,
has frowned on this practice from time
immemorial. but the general law. it
Is stated, has, as a general rule, been
observed only in the breach. In the
current campaign, however, the special
law in this regard has been observed,
it is claimed. For attempting 10 bribc
voter with money, a fine of from
800 to $500 Is provided, and Jail
sentence, in the option of the magis-
trate, of from 10 to 80 days.
Another provision of the bill which
las bStA ee0tN' lioiit tAAc SOhNi dl liiAcl tf
of the campaign Is the fact that en-
ployes of the city are forbidden the
right to ask their friends to support
the candidate of their choice. Any en-
ploye violating this section of the bill
may be fined from $40 to $50 and may
be confined in the county jail for a
period not to exceed 10 days.
Candidates are denied the privilege
of soliciting votes at the polls There
will on Monday be no "buttonholing'
of voters for not only are the candi-
dates forbidden to do SO, but they cam
not legally employ men to do the work
for them. The candidates are denied
the right to spend more than $4,000 each
in an effort to capture the plum for
which they are longing. However,
should it be necessary to hold a run
over election. that election will be con-
sidered as separate election and each
of the candidates If they desire may
expend another $4,000.
1t is generally believed THAI one of
the candidates will receive a majority
of the votes Monday and that there will
DE no need of another election. How
ever, should this belief prove erron-
eous. the run off between the two lead
ing candidates will occur Monday one
week.

To Determine If the So-Called
Trusts Have Violated DEGREES

Washington. September 1o.-The de-
partment of justice has begun an in
vestigation to determine whether the
decree dissolving the tobacco trust has
been violated.
Special representatives are inquiring
into operations of a former subsidiary
of the American Tobacco company and
IL their reports indicate that the de-
cree is not biting lived up to the case
undoubtedly will be assigned to a law
Yer for the consideration of contempt
of court proceedings.
Investigation has not yet reached a
definite point. While it was known that
the Attorney General was giving seri-
Gus study to the tobacco situation, it
did not develop until today that the
government actually was investigating
the workings of the decree.
With this preliminary inquiry into
the tobacco situation under way the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-09-11

| department of Justice soon after the
opening of the courts in the fall prob
ably will decides whether the decree
olssolving the Standard Oil company
mas been violated. The Investigation
OF that question has been practically
completed by Charles B.. Morrison and
Oilver +. Pagan, the government S
counsel. Attorney General McRey-
nolds is expected to determine in the
iaIi whether the evidence justifies CON
tempt of court or other proceedings.
1t is we'll known that Attorney Gem
erai McReynolds believes both the oil
and tobacco dissolutions were made
quate because of the pro rata distri-
button of stock of the dissolved COM
pahies to the same stockholders that
controlled the combinations.
The Who'll trust situation soon vii,
be taken up by the President with the
Attorney General in a discussion of
anti trust legislation, which Is sched
uled for the regular session of Con-
sress, beginning in December.

PER CAPITA COST
OF RUNNING CITY
IS VERY LOW HERE
Accountants Call Attention
to Economy With Which
the City's Affairs Are
Administered

While the special examiners who re-
Gently completed a report on the finan-
cial condition of Birmingham found
considerable room in which internal
Improvement might be made-all of
which was due. it is stated, to the linn
tied income of the city, for which the
low rate of taxation is responsible
they freely admitted their surprise that
the government of the city was one Of
the most economical in the United
States.
The annual per capita expenditure for
governmental purposes in Birmingham
was, for the fiscal year ending Sep
tember 30 1872 So cents. Only one
other city, Nashville made as good a
showing, the per capita expense of
Nashville being identical with that of
Birmingham. The per capita expense
for government in Atlanta was 70
cents, Portland 81 cents, Memphis S6
cents. and Richmond s126.
l.. II. Smith, special agent for Suf-
fern & Son. New York accountants, who
was in charge of the work in Bir-
mingham. in an interview yesterday
gave high praise to c. II. Abbott, city
comptroller the conduct of mis- de-
partment and the men who work under
his direction.
Birmingham is very fortunate" he
said 'n having Mr.. Abbott in It's serv-
ice. He is one of the most competent
men with whom | have in recent years
come in contact. He has installed sys-
tenn well nigh perfect He has selected
as assistants highly capable men.
"No other city is better off in It's
financial or internal business depart
ment than is Birmingham. And in con-
sidering this fact it is fine<to remember
that the cost of government in Bir-
mingham is cheaper than in practically
any other city of like size in this
country"
