SOMETHING WRONG
 IN THE DEPARTMENT LEGISLATORS THINK
Bradshaw of Lauderdale, Brindley of Etowah and Hartwell of Mobile Ex-
 press Themselves

There is something wrong with a system which would make 1t impossible fer Alabama to employ the greatest sanitarian in the world for its state health officer were such a man avail able"
 The speaker was Henry Bradshaw, member of the legislature from Laud- erdale county.
 That is true" replied Representa- tive A. R. Brindley of Etowah T haven't committed myself entirely to support either side of the struggle which will be waged in the legislature, but l think it would be altogether Preferable for Alabama to have the entire country. rather than a body of leo men from which to select an in- dividual to clean up its premises and conserve it's public health"
 There is too much politics sur rounding our health department" Har- " Hartwell senator from Mobile, com nicnted. q believe that the doctors should retain control of the health de- partment. but hold that all of them should exercise authority rather than 100 who are in command for life and who are not close to the people,
 Col. Fred M. Jackson, who was at dinner last night at the Hotel Tutwiler with the three legislators mentioned above, agreed with what had been said
 'The playing of politics spells many wci thy enterprises" he added. "In none could it be more hurtful than in the matter of health"
 The light which has divided the med ical association of Alabama into two camps, one composed of 139 counsel lors. elected for life and alone of the 2000 members of the association possesshed of the unrestricted right to hold office, and the ''progressives," who would amend the law in that the representatives of the various counties might elect the health officer of the state. has stirred up the members of the legislature.
 The Gorgas bill, as is known, will be Introduced into the legislature in July. department or of the control of the counsellors of ;he medical association, and put it into the hands of the people. It provides that the health department shall consist of a majority of doctors and of the governor and attorney gen cral of the state. It provides that the health officer shall be the most skilled sanitarian ,obtainable in the United States.
 The legislators have been informed of the contention of the two sides and from present indica tions majority of them are with the ''progressives.' They seem to be impressed with an idea that the association, as presently conducted, is not so much concerned with preserv- ing the health of the people as in per rctuatine it's counsellors in supreme al thorty.

My associates and I have made thorough examination of all as sets of the Jefferson County Saw ings bank We have been greatly aided in this examination by sev- eral of Birmingham's prominent bankers. and have accepted their estimate of values. These bank CTS also suggested real estate committee to appraise real estate loans. We have accepted their con clusions as to values.
 We are very much gratified as a result of our examination. and will open the new bank with a cap ital of $500.000 every dollar of which will be paid in cash

 We will apply for a charter inn mediately. but it will probably re- quire 30 days to perfect the legal organization. As soon a S the char ter Is issued the doors of the bank will be opened for business.
 My associates and I will take all stock not subscribed for by Birmingham people. While all financial arrangements for the opening of the bank have been definitely completed, we have been asked to afford every opportunity to local investors, and recognize the wisdom of inviting full CO., operation from the citizens of Bir- mingham.

The business will go into cover without ceremony. 1t has been re- ported that the "dry" element will have the bells of the churches pealed in celebration of the effectiveness of their victory, but if that element originally conceived plan to this effect, it has been abandoned.

 County and City Ready
 The county and city forces have pre- pared themselves to prevent violations of the law, to make the statutes highly elective While the same constabu- luries prepared likewise in 1907. 1t is promised that in this year. the laws will not be permitted to fall into con tempt.
 The proprietors of saloons have pre- pared. At one time they were per plexed with the problem of how to dis pose of their surplus supply, that which would be on hand when the clocl, strikes the eleventh bell; for, as is known, any goods stored at that time will be prima facie evidence that they are stored for sale, for the purpose oi violating the law. That problem. how ever, no longer exists. There will b, no surplus stock During the past two weeks each saloon has conducted bar gain sale, and the goods are stored ir the homes of the people of Bir- r'ingham.

Secrecy as to Details

The Investigating committee of the leg islature. as reported in The Age Herald of yesterday. will recommend the abolition of the lease system. and in the recom- mendation the majority of members of the legislature, 1t Is indicated. will heartily concur.
 Regarding the details of the plan which the committee has agreed upon consider able secrecy is maintained. However, it is learned that the legislature will not be asked to strike the fatal blow, or make the plan effective at once. However, im- mediately after the passage of the bill which is drawn each county in the state will be given the right, or option. to draw on the state for convict labor with the understanding that such county will main tain the convicts thus allotted In other words, while for some short time in the future the lease system will be tolerated, the counties, prior to the abolition of the system, will be given opportunity to ex- perience the handling of convicts
 The members of the committee do not anticipate that any strong defense against the proposed abolition of the convict sys- tenn vii; check their progress. The people. they are informed are opposed to the idea of enduring the system longer, and it is said that many of the corporations have grown tired of a system which, 1t is alleged, is of comparatively little profit to them.

Georgia System Excellent

'The Georgia system is in many re- spects excellent. We will recommend the adoption of that system with varia- tions which will prove to be an im-
 provement. Each county of the state will be entitled to employ it's own con- victs, but will not be compelled to work men in excess of the requirement.. In the event that one county cannot afford to work all its men, the surplus number may under the proposed bill. be pro rated to other counties.
 ''It has generally been held that in or der to abolish the lease system a consti-
 tutional amendment would be necessary.
 The constitution says that the state shall not engage in internal improvement But there is no difference between the state permitting the counties with the convicts of the state engaging on their own part in internal improvements and the state ap- propriating money in that the counties might mend old roads and build new We are proceeding on the theory that to strike fatal blow at the least system it will be necessary first to upbolster our selves with a constitutional amendment. Alabama, working it's convicts on the roads for five or six years, will have the finest highways in the south, and these highways will constitute an investment
 which will return magnificent interest in future years for the benefit of all the people alixe'

REVENUE OF LEASE SYSTEM Is ON PAPER ONLY, SAYS DENSON Sum Dwindles After De- ducting Cost of Conviction
 and Feeding Prisoners AN AMENDMENT IS NOT REQUIRED, HE THINKS Will Permit Counties to Work Their
 Own Convicts on Roads-May Prorate Those Not
 Needed

That only theoretically is the convict bureau money producer for the state is the opinion of J. T. Denson of Greene. who, at the instance of the legislative recess committee on investigation, re- gently made study of the manner in which Georgia handles its unfortunates.
 ''It has been said generally com mented the senator that the convict department earns for the state each Year s1.oo0.0oo. When one deducts the expenses of operation, there Is a paper profit of about $200,O00. But when one charges to the convict bureau the cost of conviction, and the cost of feeding these convicts before and after their conviction. the surplus. or profit, dwin- dles before the eyes.
 Tt is false economics for one to sd- here to the lease system on the ground of his belief that it produces a fine revenue for the state. It is easily ascer- tainable that that theory is erroneous. And everyone admits that the lease sys- tenn is inhuman and in many instances barbarous. Even were that system to make money for the commonwealth, We could not longer indulge in the vicious practice of subjugating our instinct of what is right for financial reward
