ADJOURNMENT NOT PROBABLE BY 10TH Weakley Seeks to Postpone Date for the Bond
 Election
By L. g. BETTY

Montgomery, September 3-(Special) That it is highly improbable that the leg Islature will adjourn by September 20 was indicated by the passage by the house this afternoon of a bill by Representative Weakley of Jefferson fixing the date of the election for the proposed bond issue of s1,500,oo0 sometime in January. me time specified in the bond issue measure, as is known, was December 20.
 In calling up the bill, whose place on the calendar was known only to lew Representative Weakley explained that certain members of the house thought Il very improbable that the legislature would complete its labors by September %, and that in order to take care or the constitutional provision providing that no election to amend the consttutrn shall be held in less than three months after the legislature has adjourned 1t was thought wise to make provision Tor the postponement of the election.
 Chairman Weakley said the governor had consented to the postponement. Later Governor Henderson told The Age-Herald correspondent that he had conferred With Speaker Carmichael, Lieutenant-Governor J<ilbv and others relative to delaying the election, and that he had given his con sent inasmuch as it meant the delay or only few weeks.
 As is known, the legislature has only nine days longer to remain in session. At first it was thought that hy working four days a week adjournment might be reached by September 20 but owing to the large amount of work which will ac- cumulate the last days of the session, it was decided that it would be imprac- ticable to adjourn by that time.
 Indications now are that the lee4sla- ture will remain in session probably un- til September "A or 25. In this event. the legislature will work three days next week, two or three days the following week, and finish it's labors the third week.

TEN MORE BODIES
 FOUND IN U. s. F-4

Honolulu T. H., September 3.-Ten more bodies were found today in the hull of the United States submarine F-4 One was chinist's mate, of Ohio
 The ten bodies were found in the en- zine room.
 Members of the naval board of inquiry declined to discuss the question of whether the finding of so many in one compartment indicated the nature of the accident that caused the vessel to sink in Honolulu bay March p, with 22 on board.
 Some of those working on the subni.- rine suggested that an explosion elsewhere in the vessel caused the men to seek refuge in the engine room.
 So far 13 bodies have been taken from the hold of the submarine.

GOOD ROADS BILLS
 PASSED BY HOUSE
Action on Highways Is Fea- ture of the Morning
 Session
By l.. S. BETTY

Montgomery, September 3.-(Spe cial. )-Passage by the house of sev- era1 good roads bills featured the morning session of that body. The principal one of these measures was the bill of Representative Goode of Wilcox. giving the court of county commissioners or the board of revenue of the several counties legislative, ju- dicial and executive powers in the con- struction and maintenance or roads, bridges and ferries.
 This bill was discussed at length by the members of the house and dozen or more amendments were proposed Few measures have come before the house this session in which more gen eral interest was displayed than in the Gocde bill. although there was really little opposition to the measure as evidenced by the fact that 1t passed by vote of 62 to 12.
 The principal contest on the bill re- lated to that section of the instrument which gives the board of revenue au- thority to impose such license tax upon the owners of vehicles used on the pub lie roads as 1t may deem advisable. An efforts was made to amend this sec ton so as to take this authority away from the board, but it was defeated.
 Another contest arose when Repre- sentative Griffin of Marengo offered an amendment to make the provisions of the bill not apply to counties hav- ing population of 10000 and less. This proposed amendment also was voted down.
 Repeal Old Laws Following the passage of this bill, the house passed another Goode meas ure, the purpose of the latter bill be- ing to repeal a large number of road laws in the statute. The bill provides for the repeal of about 70 sections or the code so as to make the first meas ure operative without conflicting with old laws.
 The house next passed bill by Sem ator Key designating August IA and 5 as good road days in Alabama. This b.ii provides that all public institutions of the state shall observe good road days and further provides that the gov ernor six days In advance of the time specified for the public observance shall issue a proclamation calling at tention to good road days and urging their proper observance.
 The house refused to pass Represen- tative Youngblood's bill to submit a constitutional amendment to permit counties to double the amount to be levied for public buildings, roads and bridges.

legislature to give and appropriate the
 funds only in keeping with the annual
 revenues of the state The measure pro-
 posed to bring about this result was a
 constitutional amendment and 1t was the
 intention that it should be submitted at
 the same time the proposed amendment
 authorizing the issuance of one and one
 half million dollars of bonds for the pur-
 pose of paying the current obligations or
 the state. This proposed measure placing
 Alabama irrevocably upon the budget sys-
 tenn would give confidence to the people
 in the belief that their funds would be intelligently and efficiently handled here-
 after, and they would readily and willing ly vote authorizing the bond issue and provide for the states past due obliga- tions.
 Could Save Much
 If this system had been in vogue dur ing the present session of the legisla ture 1t would have saved the state prac- tically half the expense of the present session by relieving 1t of great amount of investigation which it has undertaken It would be of greater value to the state
 than the total amount of the bond issue that the present legislature has authorized and which is to be voted on at the same time that this proposed amendment should be submitted. It would protect the reve- nues of the state before they come into the hands of the legislature instead oi waiting until they are dissipated and caus- | ing the legislature to quarrel over then after they have been expended.
 We cannot lay too much stress upor this one feature of our present govern. | ment, because it Is at the bottom of the greater part of our financial necessities 1 and troubles. No action of this 1egis | lature would receive greater .commenda l ton from the people of the state thal l an act that would permanently place tht financial affairs of the state upon the bud 1 get system"
