SHAPIRO WILL HEED
 WISHES OF PEOPLE
Says if Five-Commissioner Bill IS De- feated at Referendum He Will
 Vote Against It

Isadore Shapiro. member of the Jet- ferson county legislative delegation will abide by the voice of the people as to be expressed in the referendum cleo tion July 2s.
 In a note to The Age-Herald last night MT Shapiro stated that on his letter of a day or two ago printed Tn full in The Age-Herald, an erroneous construction was placed. Instead of de- ciaring that he would not abide by the vote Of the people on the five comnis
 sioner bill, he meant to say and thouP ht
 he did say that unless certain other
 questions were placed on the ticket, the
 result on the five commissioner Dill would not determine his attitude on the several other questions.
 In the following paragraph, MT. Sha- piro not only makes his position clear but assures the people that he Is not their autocratic ruler:
 "Please credit me with sufficient de- cency not to utterly disregard the ex- pressed wishes of the people. whose 1 com mi ssion l hold. You conveyed the ! impression that l thought ] was bigger l than the people. Whatever the people say goes. If they vote against the | five commissioner bill. l will vote against five commissioners. l am theii representative-not their autocratic | ruler"

governed. why did they not make their campaign on this as an issue2 If they are so afraid of the referendum why did they not place this fear before the voters before their election2
 It is generally believed that this bill Is only an entering wedge for the return of the scheming politician and restora- ton of the aldermsnc control of the city
 Do they imagine that the people have in the short time the city has had the commission government forgotten the in iquties of the aldermanic control? Do they think that they have forgotten the many things done and policies inaugu- rated which made for the citN's good and that elicited the congratulations from the whole state. as well as cities outside or the state2
 There were a great many who, like the writer, believed that they had exercised their privilege wisely when they aided in the election of these "solons and most especially the author or this Dill, that in the light of suoseauent olselo- sures notably fear of the referendum, have very grave doubts and will promise not to do so again.

The many evils complained oi certainly supplied avenues ioi u'Sf'"S '' their energies their wisdom and their ln- fluence, These things were talked of be- fore the election, were discussed on every platform but nothing about altering the city government and efforts to reiegate 1t back to political control.

 It was called together when sufficient business justified it and as soon as
 concluded took a recess.

A severe arraignment of the leeis- lative delegation of this county be- cause of it's intention to increase the three to five. Is contained in let ter to the editor of The Age Herald by l. K Barton. well known citizen of East Lake.
 He expresses surprise in that the members of the delegation have e mained silent under insistent chal- lenges that they state one tenable req son for their purpose to increase the number of commissioners and then calls upon them to give the real mo- tives which aetuate them. His letter, series of questions propounded to rhe delegation. indic cates that the suburbs, like the center of Birming ham, are opposed to the proposed change.
 The communication follows;
 Among the population of this city there are many plain people. l am cnls one among this multitude. Differing from some among the many I have neither political ambition nor desire for office. But I assert that from this standpoint can and do desire the wei tare of the city as ardently as ever the offieeholder or the waiting poli- tician. The Age-Herald says: Tt is rumored that the solons plan to ig. nore the vote in case it goes agains the five commissioners" Now. l desir' to ask those solons just few plalr questions. their answers to which VII do much to remove the impression tha these solons are actuated purely b, selfish motives when they threaten t' ignore the expressed Will or the ma iority
 Did the author of this bill ever Tn innate or advocate the proposed Ill crease in his canvass for election q did he suggest that he favored suei increase and when elected would ae vote his energies to such measure Why have these men delayed so ion' publishing the fact eff such it bel tha the commissioners are acting lliesait

ESTIMATE RETURNS
 FROM INCOME TAX

Washington June 16.-First estimates of the returns from the personal and income tax have been revised upward by treasury department officials. who now anticipate more than $s2.0oo,000 during the present calendar year from this source. Estimates made in May promised return of $s0,035.o0o.
 Under the law payments of the tax may be made as late as July 10 but from the way in which the tax is pouring in, officials are confident that large pro- portion of the total will be in the vaults before the close of the present fiscal year, June 90.
 It is now apparent, officials said today, that there will be sufficient money from this source to wipe out large part oi the deficit which appeared early in the year and which steadily increased until a short time ago. This fact Is counted upon to silence for the present lack of an issue of Panama canal bonds to replenish the treasurer's working balance.

Tn calling this election to register the will of the citizens9 Why are they op- posed to referendum? How long nave they held their ears to the ground be- tote they suspect the call is illegal? What did they hear? What was it that the people do not desire any such change in the number? That the pro vision of the bill providing for the increase also provides for reduction of salaries and the securing of cheap men is not desired by the people and that politicians are not wanted as bosses of this city?
 What meat have these Caesars fed upon which has increased their wisdom to such extent that they know best what is for the welfare of the oitse ossiblv the diet has not increased their political aspirations nor lessened their contempt for the will of the people. But surely election to oflice has made them arrogant to an eX- treme Is it stretch of the ircag- nation to conclude that the sDlons have each some pet measure. whether disclosed before their election or not, which they are welded to- Is it just case of you tickle me and I will tickle you. or one of the people be damned 9'
 In Sundays Age Herald Walker Percy had an article which should he read care
 fully and it would be enlightening to anyone who Is indifferent He talked out in meeting from his past experience when
 he said that in case the salaries should he voted down that politicians would be sure to have same restored at the next
 session of the legislature
 The next question: What good reason has ever been given or suggested why the number should be increased to five If the author of the bill has ever at ,emnted to assign any valid reason | has escaped me If these gentlemen would just once get religion of honesty and make confession of the actuatins causes which after their election has en dowed them with such wisdom that the' can discern the urgent necessity for th' 1 citv to change the number of commits l sioners and under the false plea of econ omy advocate reduction Of salaries am therefore secure cheaper and smaller men l if they knew that the city was poorl

 MANIPULATION OF B. E. & B.

the line extended to the Warrior river Is receiving the most favorable considera- tion of many of the ctys most promi- nent men. This would enable the city to get water rates. it would provide source of municipal supply of electric light and power and it would prepare the way for a muncipally owned waterworks plant on the Warrior.
 The whole proceedings of the bank ruptcy court in the Tidewater case. in my estimation. is merely a clever scheme of the stockholders to get rid of the
 small fellows and to do away with the inhibition of the Tidewater franchise which forbids sale of the property to a competitor. This clause of the franchise
 becomes void if the property is sold on l foreclosure on bonded indebtedness. and that's what is being attempted. Then the line will be bought by the l Alabama Power company, the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power company, the American Cities or some allied com
