CABANISS SAYS
 BETTER TO WATT

E. II. Cabaniss, one of the most prom inent attorneys of the state, said yester- day he recognized the urgent need of new constitution, but regarded the pres ent an inopportune time to hold a consti- tutional convention. He said
 T am decidedly in favor of new con stitution. it is badly needed. because the present constitution is not adapted in many particulars to the needs of a grow ing state.
 Moreover. when the present csnstitu- ton was formed, all other questions were subordinated to the cne matter of suf- frage. Many compromises and conces- sions were made in order to secure an or ganic law which would result in the elimi- nation of the negro vote The growth and progress of the state are hindered by many checks and letters upon the legis- lative power which should be done away with
 Nevertheless. l do not think the pres ent an opportune time for the calling of a constitutional convention. It will be bet ter to wait until the public mind is more free from political or partisan bias and feeling, to say nothing of the present depleted condition of the state treasury Il

WOMEN DISCUSS
 LEGISLATIVE BILLS DisapprOveP Proposal to Have Board of Education
 Elected by People

At an open meeting of the Council of
 Jewish Women held yesterday at which
 were number of representatives from
 other women's clubs of the city, several
 measures now before the legislature
 were~up for discussion.
 Those present went on record as warmly
 approving the legislature's action in per-
 hitting women to serve on school boards and also showed interest in the proposed measure requiring certificate of health Sefore marriage
 The subject which was most fully dis cussed. however, was the proposal to have the Birmingham board of education elect ed by the people.
 Out of the entire attendance only two votes were recorded in favor of this proposition and one of these gave as her reason that on the board of education none ever resigned and few died" so that a woman had practically no chance ever to get on 1t.
 The ladies present believed that if the people had to elect new board every four years it would throw school matters |into politics and cause turmoil in the edll- |cational system every four years. Yesterdays meeting was presided over |by Mrs. J. Friedman.

NEWSDEALERS ARE |. PUzZ[EDOVERNEW ADVERTISING LAW Sheriff BatSOn Has Not Yet Received Copy of the
 New Statute STOPS THE SALE OF
 MANY MAGAZINES Dealers Do Not See How It Is Fossil ble for Them to Censor Their
 Entire List of Pub
 licatiOns

Newsdealers of Birmingham confessed yesterday that they were somewhat pug zled over what steps to take about the rev liquor advertising law which went into effect Wednesday night The under standing in Birmingham is that this law seeks to prevent the sale by newsdealers or others of any newspaper, magazine or periodical from inside or outside the state
 Sheriff Batson said last night that he had not yet received a. copy of the law and was not informed as to it's provisions and scope. This office hopes to do noth- ing to work a hardship on anyone" he said, but of course will have to see that the law is enforced"
 H. R. DeLaye of the DeLaye News Agency. probably the largest concern of the kind in the state, said yesterday he did not know just what to do. "'I suppose we will simply go ahead until some understanding is reached" he said. '1f the law prohibits us from selling any publication containing liquor advertise ments it will simply put my concern out of business, for seven out of 10 of the publications contain liquor advertise ments. I have not consulted a lawyer, but I presume some kind of test must be made of a law which is so revolutionary in it's intent
 J. B. Patterson, trustee of the John L. Parker estate, said: We are awaiting de- velopments. With a news and magazine business of such magnitude as ours I do not see how it is possible to go through everything and pick out the publications which do not contain liquor advertise ments. I suppose we will just have to meet each situation as it arises''
 H. P. Whitman, who manages the news department of Adams Drug company, and am not familiar with it's provisions"
 Webster Harris of the Birmingham Mag azine and Post Card company, IF North Twentieth street, said We want to try have been greatly puzzled over what we should do today. We have consulted a lawyer, who advises us the law is con- stitutional I do not know whether 1t would be proper for us to go over our magazinesc and cut out the liquor adver- tisements or not. At any rate we shall try to go through our publications care fully and sell only such as do not come under the ban."

O'NEAL FAVORS A
 CONVENTION NOW

Emmet O'Neal, former governor does not believe that the prohibition question now predominant should deter the holding or a constitutional convention My views on the constitutional convention are well known he said yesterday. 'I plainly stated my position in my last message to the legislature and it scarcely need be repeated that I am strongly in favor of new constitution for many reasons The state needs 1t very, very badly But if you intend to wait until the prohibition issue Is out of the way, you'n never get a constitutional convention
 T think a constitutional convention ought to be held now, the sooner the better. l have little doubt but prohibition always will be an issue. and if 1t were not there would be something else just as live before the people"

PROHIBITIVE LAWS
 SHOULD BE DISCARDED

John D. McNeel, collector of internal revenue; T favor the calling of con- vention to formulate and adopt a new constitution. The present one is too re- stricted for the growth and development or the state. Some of it's prohibitive sections retard the progress and advance ment of our cities and state and in order to keep in the line of progress they should be thrown into the discard. There are many other reasons for a new con- stitution and l hope a convention will be called for that purpose"

Capt. Tom C. McDonald: There are many reasons to my mind for not calling constitutional convention at this time, and among them is the present political unrest that permeates the entire state.
 Permanent laws should be enactede only after calm and careful consideration and should be in accord with the wishes Of the people. 1t is said that certain changes are needed in our present con- stitution for the better advancement of the state If this is so why not submit to the people amendments for the pur- pose of bringing about such changes, and not throw the state into political tur- moil by calling a convention to adopt a new constitution

FINDS NO ARGUMENT FOR CONVENTION

Col. Gardner Greene of Pell City. '"rhere is no need, in my opinion, of calling a constitutional convention, and I have vet to see reasonable argument advanced in favor of such step. Admitting that the present constitution is cumbersome and that some changes are needed these can be made by the submission of amend ments to the voters of the state should the need become pressing. Then, the pres ent financial condition of the state should be considered, and I believe it would be very unwise to burden the state with the expense of a constitutional conven- ton at this time"

From the general poll of the sentiment of the men of Birmingham familiar with the matter, as now being conducted by The Age-Herald. it appears that the great majority doubt the advisability of holding a constitutional convention at this time.
 Many of those men interviewed are strong in their belief of the need of a constitutional convention, but while none of them have said so in plain words, 1t Is easily apparent that they doubt the wisdom of holding a convention now on account of the predominance of the prohi- bition issue. They indicate that any con- stitution drafted now would be a >tem- perance constitution" just as the present one is alleged to be a suffrage constitu- tion' on account of the fact that it was drafted when plans for getting rid of the negro vote and regulating the suffrage of the state were the main issues before the people.
