APPROVES PUBLIC
UTILITY COMMISSION
SHOULD Be Composed of
Level Headed Business
Men"-FOrd

A public utility commission, bill pro-
viding for the appointment of which Will
be introduced in the next regular session
of the legislature, would not meet the
disapproval of A. H. Ford, president OF
the Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company.
such a commission stated Mr. Ford.
''should be composed of level headed bus
mess men of mental breadth, and should
not be swayed by politics. Such com
mission would foster public utility cor
porations, and at the same time keep
them in state OF regulation. Such a
commission would decide many matters
against the corporations. but in the long
run the corporations would be dealt with
in justice.
Public utility commissions. having the
regulation of public utility corporations
In charge, have been successful in Wis
consin and other states. The secret of
their success has been their freedom from
politics"
As published in The Age-Herald this
week, Frank y. Julian, associate mem
Der of the state railroad commission, is
preparing a bill providing for the con-
troll of all public utility plants and corr
porations by the state railroad commis-
sion.

CRAWFORD FAVORS
AN EARLY SESSION
Thinks Fee System in JEFF
ferson Should Get Death
Blow at Once

Capt. Jack Crawford OF Jasper. member
OF the legislature, heartily favors the
immediate elimination OF the fee system
in Jefferson county
There Is no question but that the la W
makers should come together" stated
Captain Crawford while in Birmingham
yesterday. THE fact is we'll established
that Jefferson county has done more for
the state than any other county or prob
ably any other two counties Therefore,
Jefferson is acting within the bounds Of
modesty when it requests the governor
to can the legislature together for the
purpose Of transacting business apper-
tanning primarily and chiefly TO Itself.
THE fee amendment should be put into
effect The fee system Is disgraceful. and
half Of the convicts sent up from this
county, have the fee system TO charge
for their trouble. For it Is indisputably
established that you can't separate an
official from his business and when i
premium Is put on arrests, arrests Will
follow.
Give us the extra session that we
might strike the shaclsles am not
particularly anxious to leave my busi-
ness at this time. but / am willing 10

favorably by the majority present. lie
said in part:
There is a state law against amuse-

him--not to violate that law. We are ap-

his mind i'm the last year. It seems, for d
year ago he was opposed to moving pic

Il believe such q man, who has such
a volatile mind. should be placed out IF
public office, where the changes of his
mind will not affect anyone outside OF
his Immediate household. The recall is
your recourse, gentlemen, not an appeal
to him to keep him from violating the
state laws. Every pastor should urge upon
his congregation that this man who poses
