COUNCIL DISCUSSES PHONE QUESTION Resolution Brings Matter Up in AnnistOn Before
 City Council

Anniston, July 10.-(Special.)-A ordi- rance introduced by Alderman l. W. Nal lory, who has been Investigating the ney, to fix the rates of the Southern Bell Telephone company in Anniston the same as they were before the recent in- crease and making 1t a msdemeanor to charge more, brought the telephone rate ques stion again before the city council of Anniston Thursday evening.
 MT. Mallory's ordinance went to it's sec ond reading by unanimous vote, and was then subjected to dtscassion by Superin- 1 tendent Turnbull of the Southern Bell, AL | derman Burgess, who ridiculed it, and other members of the council. including MT. Mallory
 MT. Turnbull stated that his company regarded such an ordinance invalid, and had nothing to fear from litigation. He stated, however. that it is the policy of the company to keep out of the courts if possible, and he urged the council to defer final action on ;he measure until the company's books are audited to ascer- tain the business of heir claim. He stated that the company will pay the expense of 1 such an audit
 |. B. Darlington. president of the Cham. Der or Commerce, stating that his name haVlng been used by the company, he felt compelled to make his position clear, de. 1 c]aring that he believed the comuany ha6 acted fairly, and that it was in justice to them to defer action until the correct. ness or their figures is verified or disap. ploVed D. P. Hale spoke to the same | effect.
 | Mayor Wikle, President Todd and other
 members of the council present were di. Vloea as to the advisaoility of accepting the eompany's proposition to pay for ar audit.

 prove or upon which he expects to re- cover: thereby causing the defendant to resort to at least dozen special pleas to each count. to say nothing of numer- ous grounds of demurrer of the parties, respectively, to the different counts and pleas, followed up by 40 or 50 rep licatjons or rejoinders. Then when the case reaches the appellate court we find from one to 750 assignments of error as to rulings upon the evidence and as to the giving or refusal of spe- cial charges.
 With the special charge evil re- moved. we would have little or no trouble in actions of ejectment, de- tinue and the trial of the rights of property and if these actions can be properly and justly tried on one issue, or single count or statement by the plaintiff, and a general denial by the defendant, why can't this sensible but simple method be extended to other ac- tions?
 Our equity system of pleading and practice is plain and simple, yet you will find the Alabama cases upon this subject generously cited and universal ly followed by the text writers and the courts. Nor can it be said that the chan cery practice in Alabama is trade instead of a science, or that the sue cessful chancery lawyers are less skilled than those who practice the art of catching their adversary upon some special plea in an action at law or the trial court through the peculiar word- ing of special charge.
 "On the other hand many of the technical rulings by our courts which have brought about criticism at home and abroad, and which have appeared incon sistent have been superinduced by a slavery to a complicated system which could be changed by a few sim pie statutes. the enactment of which must and should be brought about through the patriotic and disinterested effort and influence of the lawyers of Alabama"

May Install Public Toilets

Mayor Earl Greenwood and DR.. J.
+. Noyes were In Salt Lake City this
week investigating the question, costs,
etc. of one or more public toilets in
the bushes section of American Fork.
The proposition is to make an ex-
cavation below the surface of the
street, some place near the corner of
Main and Center Streets, and have
an entrance leading down to the toll
cts, which will be kept clean by the
city,
II is suggested that the work could
be done during the winter months,
when there are so many idle men who
would be glad to donate a half of the
time employed Then the men and the
city would both be benefited and the
convenience could be put in at a mod
crate cost.
The Civic Betterment League, at its
last meeting heartily endorsed the
idea and is probably to be credited
with being the father of the idea.

of money the state Of Utah spends
willingly and gladly every year to

ness and commercial sense, should
take the lead also In matters edu-
cational. He felt the city was to be
