 There are many sidestreets where the traffic Is light which would not need sprinkling, no doubt, the residents use of the lawn hose being sufficient. But the large part of the unpaved residence sections no doubt would need sprink- ling and l believe a great majority of the residents would petition for It.
 Where ever the city sprinkles, thlnk 1t would only be just and right that the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company sprinkle their tracks. They should not be asked to sprinkle the whole street, but it seems to me it would not be amiss for them to sprinkle their dusty right of ways in all parts of the city"

 Dr. L. s. Ledbetter, in speaking of the sprinking ordinance, said:
 T believe such an ordinance should be enforced. It would be paying prop osition to the people in that it would allay the dust and thereby mean a

 As to the compulsory taxation of property owners, l don't think that should be. The householder should be taxed and the tax should be compulsory if necessary. The property owner is not benefited by the laying of the dust It is the householder For instance, rent house. The dust destroys my clothes, my draperies, my rugs and fur nlture. | do not pay for having the dust laid but the property owner does. He is not benefited, yet he pays, while l. who am benefited, have nothing to pay The householder should be taxed and the ordinance enforced. It is of prime importance to the health of the community"

I.) While it has been known that there has been dissatisfaction in the regi- ment and particularly on the part of the local company ever since they were transferred from the old Third to the Fourth regiment of the Alabama Ma tional Guard, the action of the mem bers of the Pelham Guards, Company D, in rendering their resignation as a body came as a distinct surprise when the official announcement was given out here Friday
 The guards have been dissatisfied ever since the encampment at East Lake last summer. Their pay was held up for four months, they claim oth- CTS being paid before they were, and their communications in regard to the matter were ignored, they claim. It was not until the men had threatened suit that their checks were finally re- ceived.

POLICE DETERMINED
 TO STOP THE SALE OF
 COCAINE ILLEGALLY

 ~ 7~-~~~-------~~>------- ------------------------ cooperate in every way possible with the police in preventing all sales of CO., caine. Already the use of the drug is widespread in Birmingham and the city physician, pr. Charles Whelan, has his hands full treating victims of the nor phine and cocaine habit.
 'The police should be given every as- sistance," said Dr. Charles Whelan, "in destroying the cocaine and morphine traf- fic in Birmingham. The unrestrained sale of cocaine strikes at the very founda- tions of society. It tends to the mak- ing of thieves and murderers and de- generates. l, for one will continue to fight against the sale of harmful drugs and will do my best to gather up evil dence to convict all persons suspected of selling the poison"

 q am sorry that dope sellers are not given a 1000 years, as any man con victed of selling cocaine to negroes and weakwilled men and women ought to be placed in jail for life. It is the low est business a man could possibly be engaged Tn ana nave absolutely no sympathy with anyone of that breed" Judge Abernethy also stated that the appeals from the decision of the recorder should be taken up at once. "No chances should be taken to have these drug sell CTS escape the clutches of justices,' said the judge, and these appeals should be heard within the next few weeks The activities of the police department since the inauguration of the campaign against the sale of harmful drugs has resulted in + arrests during the month of February, in which 15 convictions were secured in the recorders court. All of the cases were appealed to the higher courts Thus far in March there have been a half dozen arrests. all of which resulted in convictions in the lower court, which were also appealed.

son, Mont, has sent letters to all
members of the senate and house sub.
hitting a draft of a bill to provide
for the immediate homestead entry of
all remaining government lands with
in the former Flathead Indian reserva-
ton. The association requests that
the proposed measure be passed inn
mediately by congress, and asserts
that the members of the Montana del
egation have been derelict in their
duties regarding this matter.
The association asserts that the pro-
posed measure was formulated at a
meeting of the homesteaders on the
Flathead reservation February "a last,
and a copy sent to each of the mem
bers of the Montana delegation re-
questing its introduction in both

mistreatment and are anxious for re-
lief.
Senator Myers has introduced a bill
in line with the wishes of the Poison
settlers.
