 ''rhe Judiciary system" he said. needs improvement In many respects, The committee let us hope, will SD arrange matters that hereafter justice will be neither delayed nor denied and that the uplSeep of the judiciary Will not be so expensive as longer to embarrass tho state. The problem re- garding taxation will be solved only when a method is devised whereby eV- erybody will give in his property for assessment justly and thus eliminate the inequalities which now exist The people in the rural sections are as prone to dodge taxes as are the neo- pie of the cities. The sin is one to which everybody. it seems, Is heir.

member present pledged his support to the bond issue.
 MT. Bowie then explained how the de- felt of $1, ,250,000 was made mp. He read letter from vice president of the Ensley Civic league which, stated that the writer was in favor of the city going into the hands of receiver, then letting the chancery court equalize taxes and in two years the city would be all right. He cited this as an example of the utter lack of facts on the part of many people who were opposing the bond issue, as the chan cery court had nothing to do with taxes one way or another. and if the city went into bankruptcy it would be a half cen- tury or more before it would be possible to get free of the effects.
 He referred to the opponents of the bond issue, who base their fight on an equali- zation of taxes. "The assessment of taxes is made by the state and county authori- ties and the city commission has nothing whatever to do with it. The city does not even collect it's own taxes. Now, why do these men attack the city commission, the only innocent party in the whole mat ter We all know there is an inequality in tax assessments. And I know that it is goong to be remedied very soon by the authorities who control it. But why att tack the city commissioners on this ground, when they have nothing to do with it and can never have?"

Citizens Knew Facts

T can't see where any members of the government ever tried to fool any citizen about the fact that we were going into debt every day at the rate of about $1Oo0 ' said Culpepper Exum, formerly president of the city commission. We made it plain from the very start that was what was happening and nobody objected at the time, especially when they came asking for something.
 When I was a member of the gov ernment didn't propose to let this city go without the necessities of life. I voted for improvements I knew we had to have them. And I did it with the full knowledge that there was time coming when the citizens would have to pay for them with a bond issue. and that time is now. I not only expected the people for whom this money was spent to vote for a bond issue, but I expected them to ap- preciate what we were trying to do for them.'
 q consider it debt of hoTor," said J. B. Woods. well known labor leader. Tt is not debt piled up by reckless and ex- travagance. l believe 1t was spent in a wise and economical way. and for one am going to do everything I can do to help pay 1t. l represent a class of peo- pie who benefited more, perhaps, from this expenditure than any other. When MT. Exum was elected he pledged to us that he would give us free textbooks in the clty SCHOOLS. lie Kept ms pledge. Ine present city commission is continuing the plan, and now the people should be will ing to pay for that and the many other things they have received
 Short remarks were made by John w. Sibley. G. R. Harsh and others. MT. Harsh stated the only argument he had heard against the bond issue was that a negro chauffeur had been seen rd.-g with a woman in one of the city's yellow autc mobiles.

James BOwron Speaks

"
 q am not a partisan for any candidate nor am candidate for any office,'' said James Bowron, but l am in favor of this bond issue merely from the standpoint of patriotic citizen We often hear re- ferred to the statement that the city is running into the hole 5000 per day, or $500, 900 per year, and so forth. If the city. however, kept its books like private cor poration that statement would be seen to be false The city on its operating ex- penses Is living within it's income now.
 ''The money paid out for services in the performance of a public duty is no more than the income of the city, but in making Improvements and in developing new branches of the city government is where the deficit has been made and the deficit should be charged to this capital disburse- ment for permanent improvements, and not to operating expenses
 I believe the city commission has made a mistake in policy in this capital dis birsement which has piled up this deficit When citizens during the past four years came to them to ask for fire stations street repairs. sewers, lights and the many other things the commissioners should have informed them that they had no money to get these things, but that they would be delighted to get them if the cit izens would vote them sufficient bonds first Then the people would have seen this thing more clearly, but now, since you have given them what they wanted first and now ask them to pay for 1t, there comes oppOstion''
