TO BE DISCUSSED
Birmingham Ad Club Will Promote
Campaign to Exploit Birming-
ham Made Goods

The Birmingham Ad club will this fall
promote an active campaign exploiting
Birmingham-ma goods and at the
luncheon Tuesday there will be heard
three talks on the subject. Oscar Turner
will speak from the viewpoint of a B:r-
mingham Booster. Fred NJ. jackson will
speak from the angle of the local manu-
facturer, and Bert Jacobs will show the
attitude of local retailers toward home
goods.
A Home Products" campaign has been
In the mind Of members of the Ad club
for some time. The club believes that a
properly directed campaign this fan will
prove of incalculable benefit in emphasize
ing Birmingham as a manufacturing city
and in educating the public to the possi-
bilities and many advantages OF buying
Birmingham goods.
Secretary Oliver Cox OF the Ad club
has written to other cities for informa-
ton as to how their organizations planned
their campaigns and this data will be
available Tuesday when the Ad club ap-
points special committee TO start the

c. Brooks Smith, state auditor, and one
of the leading members of the demo-

favor of the plurality plan. He thinks
the people of the state should not be bur-

they are. tired of SO many political -

not only the necessary purpose. hat fS.t
1t will also appeal more strongly to ths
voters.
Mr. Goodwin will issue a call for the

well as a list of mortgages recorded. BY
the first of the month they are rsauifed
to remit all collections they have received
and they are entitled to deduct a COM
mission on all items. The law specifies,
however, that probate Judges are nor
entitled to their commissions If they are
delinquent in making settlement.
Probate judges receive a commission
of 26 per cent on all licenses and char
ters and a commission of . per cent on
all mortgages recorded.
The governor has been advised that
thousands OF dollars have been ned back
in commissions on collections renitted
to the state after the first of the month.
and 1t is understood that he will institute
proceedings for the recovery of this
money. Most of the probate Judges of
the state have been delinquent "a times.
1t is reported and it Is expected that
when Examiner Mccall completes his re-
port he win find that commissioliJ ille-
gally held back will run well into the

PROBATE JUDGES
LOSE COMMISSIONS
All Collections Must Be
Turned In by First of
the Month

Montgomery, September 2o.-(Special)
Probate judges of Alabama who have
been delinquent in settling with the state
on the first of the month, as required
by law, are likely to- lose thousands of
dollars which they have received in COM
missions.
Governor ONeal has instructed Chief
Examiner of Public Accounts Charles
E. Mccall to make an Investigation of
all collections fen1itted TO the state os
probate Judges during the past few years,
and to render him a full and complete
report ON all commissions received after
the time authorized by law, with view
presumably to institutng proceedings
against those officials who have been de-
linquent.
The law specifies that probate Judges
shall submit to the state auditor on the
last day of the month a certified list Of
