Pledges of Party

II have carried out the pledges of the
party by which l was eected-I have
aided in restoring to the people of Ala
bama the principle of local option with
the county as the unit. | have aided and
secured the passage of the best laws for
the regulation. and control of the liquor
traffic found upon the statute books of
any state in the union.
Il challenge Mr.. E. w. Barrett to speci-
fly a single instance in which [ have been
under the control of the liquor or any
other special interest.
MIR. Barrett, in his second cartoon,
in effect charges that | am influenced
when l failed at the insistence of the
Chamber of Commerce to Immediately
convene the Legislature in extraordi-
nary session to furnish financial relief
to the city of Birmingham.
"A year ago, when I was using all
the influence and power of my office
to secure Just and equitable system
of property assessments in jefferson
county, did not The Herald,
through its columns oppose all my ef-
forts, arouse all possible opposition,
and aid In defeating the legal assess
ments which the law eXacted? The only
offense of which l was then guilty
was in demanding that all property
should be assessed at the legal rate
VI w per ceHluIi Oh us actual Ndiue.
THE chairman of the state tax COM
mission tells me that property in JEFF
ferson county Is only assessed at 80
per centum of its real value, and that
If the assessments had been made at
so per oentum as the law requires, the
revenues of the city of Birmingham
would have been doubled, and a con-
stitutional amendment would not now
be required to furnish sufficient rev.
enue Yet The Age-Herald charges that
am under the control of the selfish
special interests.
did the press that now assails me give
me any aid when l was fighting the bat
ties of the miners and convicts against
the powerful influences of the coal oper-
ators In urging the passage of a law
which would increase the safeguards
against loss of life, through accident, ex-
plosion or negligence in our coal mines
a law which even now one of the leading
coal operators of the Birmingham dis
trict has pronounced as one of the best
and wisest upon the statute books of
any state in the union?
Were not these same journals which
now denounce me silent or secretly op-
posing the bills 1 caused to be introduced
for a public service commission and a
better and wiser employees liability law?
My record is an open book, and all
charges from whatever source they come,
that l have obeyed the voices of the mas
ters of special privileges in my official or
private life, are both unfounded and SLAM
derous.'
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-11-26
Constitutional Amendment Fight

THAT same charge was made when as
private citizen l organized and led the
fight against the ratification of the cor
stitutional amendment. The same charge
was made against Mr.. Barrett and every
other man who opposed state wide prohI-
bition and favored local option, and yet,
after the bitterest campaign in the history
of the state, a majority of $1,000 of the
people of Alabama stamped these charges
under their feet as false and slanderous.
Again when 1 was a candidate for COVER
nor these same charges were renewed,
and once more the people of Ala bama by
decided majority in my triumphant cleo
tion, gave me a jury and verdict of not
guilty.
1T is true the Anti-Saloon league, 1t,
its recent pronunciamento, denounces
every advocate of local option as a tool
of the liquor interests. They even, in
their arrogance, proclaim that Hon. Oscar
w. Underwood, the leader ot the demo-
port of the friends of temperance because
he had declared in favor Of the prin-
ciples of local option.
Has Mr. Barrett become follower of
Hon. Brooks Lawrence?
Does he join in his demogogic cry
that every democrat who believes in the
platform of his party-who favors local
option-is an enemy of temperance and an
ally and hreling of the liquor interests +?
The President of the United States, the
chief of the party; his great lieutenant,
William j. Bryan, and the leader of the
party in the House of Representatives
all stand for the principles of local OPP
tion. with a county unit as the wiscst
and best solution of the liquor problem.
Does The Age Herald believe that they
are the tools of the liquor interests?

Rate LITIGATION

when | entered upon the discharge
of my duties the rate litigation was
still pending. l Immediately retained
the same counsel employed by former
Governor Conner who conducted the
litigation until Federal Judge Jones
decided the cases against the state.
then called those attorneys in confer
ence and gave notice of appeal. AT
their advice the perfecting of the ap-
peal was delayed until certain cases in
the supreme court of the United States
involving the same legal questions
could be decided. Several months ago
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-11-26

| announced that this appeal would be
perfected II the attorneys representing
the state SO advised. In the meantime
proceedings were commenced by tho
railroad commission to reduce the pas
senger rates to the statutory rate of
2 Il cents per mile and these proceed
ings were conducted to a successful
termination against every railroad in
the state charging over 21k cents per
mile except the North and South rail
road, the Nashville, Chattanooga and
st. Louis railroad, the proceedings
against which has been completed, the
arguments made and the briefs filed,
and are now in the hands of the fed
eral judges awaiting decision. Under
the law which existed at the time
these proceedings were commenced be-
fore the railroad commission, one fed
eral Judge could enjoin their findings.
l took up the matter with the men,
bers of Congress from Alabama, wrote
each a strong letter urging the pass
age of federal statute requiring three
federal judges to enjoin the decision
OF the state railroad commission.
Through the active assistance of Hon.
Henry d. Clayton, chairman of the ju-
dietary committee of the House OF
Representatives. who labored earnest
ly and persistently for the passage of
such bill, aided by his other COL
leagues from Alabama, such a law
was passed. and hence in the efforts
of the railroads to enjoin the 2 cent
passenger rates as fixed by the COM
mission they We're required TO secure
an Injunction from three federal
judges.
did I obey the voices of my mas
ters when l refused to dismiss the
suits pending as to rate litigation
when entered< office? That I had such
power of dismissal, no one Will deny.
Voice of Milton H. Smith
Was | needing the voice of Milton II.
Smith when l employed special counsel
| to prosecute all rate litigation then pend
ing? When l aided the railroad commits
sion in their Investigations and employed
special counsel to represent the state in
defense of their proceedings? When |
used every possible influence to secure the
passage of law requiring three federal
judges to enjoin the judgments of the
state railroad commission?
Il challenge Mr. e. W. Barrett to make
good his charge, or confess that under
| the influence of a spirit of petty spite or
disappointed ambition he has deliberately
done me a grave injustice by the publi-
cation of a cartoon which is not only
slanderous but without any basis In fact.
Again l ask Mr.. Barrett was | obey
ing the voice of my master when l vetoed
the bill permitting public service corpor-
ations to furnish free passes to the press
of the state in consideration of advertising
space?
Did Mr.. Barrett or those other journa-
lists who now assail me as a servant of
the railroad interests utter one word of
commendation of my efforts to prevent
the wholesale subsidizing of the press Of
Alabama by the public service corpor-
ations? On the contrary | ask in all sin
certify did they not pour upon by devoted
head all the walls of their editorial wrath
But MIR. Barrett further says by his
cartoons that L am under the domination
of the liquor interests

In Point Of Magnlficence and Comfort
They Show Modern institutions
Poor Second.

The Romans had baths so splendid
that they put our boastfulness about
modern sanitation to silence. The
most famous OF these are the baths of
Caracalla and Diocletian. In connec-
ton with these great baths 1000 yards
of vast galleries we're used by the
slaves for marvellous heating and ven
tilation systems.
While excavating near these baths
Professors Vale and Gaetano Ferri
have come upon splendid drains for
carrying of the water. In spite of
the many hundred years that have
elapsed since they we're built these
drains are almost as good as they ever
were.
In these galleries, besides, the or
binary baths, there we're halls with
inches where baths we're taken for
sacrificial rites. This is proved by
the inscriptions found on the walls.
Many of these inscriptions are In
Greek, and are prayers to the gods.
The workmen have just finished car
rying away about 100000 cubic me-
ters of earth. While excavating these
drains they have found two splendid
treasures. One is Venus with arms
appraised. Only the head and some
small fragments remain, but they are
enough to show that 1t was great
masterpiece and the bath probably
was dedicated to Venus.
Near by splendid library has been
found, with thousands of rare volumes,
showing that the bathers had access
to good books.
