With Governor Advisable
ity of Extra Session

Judge A. o. Lane. commissioner of pub
lie justice, will visit Montgomery as soon
as his official duties viii permit for the
purpose of interviewing Governor o'Neal
in reference TO an extra session of the
legislature.
Il will go this week or the first of
next" the judge stated yesterday. OF
course, we are all anxious that the extra
session be called in order that the amend
ment providing for the elimination of
the fee system in this county might be
made effective. And there are other mat
ters appertaining directly to the city of
Birmingham that need attention.
THE little joker in the revenue bill,
section 36F, should be stricken. That sec
ton was evidently inserted for the bene-
fit of certain corporations, for it provides
that license taxes collected by munich
palities shall be applied to franchise
taxes. By this section the city is de-
prived of revenue amounting to about
$3.50, 900 in four years. or from one regu-
lar session of the legislature to the next
Commissioner A. o. Lane will exert his
influence in 5ehalf of an extra session
for the purpose of putting the anti-fee
amendment into effect and of having
legislation enacted which will revert to
the financial betterment OF the city of
Birmingham. His idea of uniting Bir-
mingham and jefferson county under one
government will nots be thrust upon the
legislature for its consideration prior to
