Some expert financing is in store for
the incoming board of revenue.
This Is the opinion freely expressed
about the corridors of the courthouse,
as the various expenditures and loans OF
the present board is scanned by various
county officials who are familiar with
the exact status of the county treasury
and of the unusual drains that will be
made on it next year.
AT the present time President DR.. r.
F. Lovelady and Rufe Bivens, have gone
or record. as favoring a policy OF re-
trenchment and they have steadfastly
voted against any expenditures that have
come up for official consideration. Mr..
Bivens has flatly declared that tho
finances of the county are in such shape
that steps to retrench should be taken
at once, or else the great work activities
of the county would be curtailed to u
minimum next year through the lack OF
operating funds.
There was meeting of the board OF
revenue scheduled several days ago to
consider matters of retrenchment, but
a quorum failed to appear as Dr.. Love-
lady and Mr.. Bivens were the only MEM

being tentative plans to abolish various
jobs, and to curtail in part the heavy
expenses of the county.
On November IT, three members OF the
present board of revenue will be sue
ceeded in office by Jerry Gwin, Dr. j. B.
Vines and Frank Hewitt. These three
will constitute the new board of revenue
with the addition OF DR.. Lovelady and
Mr.. Bivens who were reelected. The
new board will face the following imam
cial problems
The very first hard knot encountered
will be the paying of 100000 on January
/, of road bonds issued some 20 years
ago, and which become due for payment
within the next few months. And then
two years later 100000 more must paid
on the same road bond issue.
On February /, the board OF revenue
must pay $325OOO to the banks; s125,OOo ct
this money was borrowed in June and
$500, 900 was borrowed last week. The
money was for the current expenses OF
the county. 1t was borrowed on county

WORK TO BE POSTPONED

1t was asserted yesterday in a dis
cussion of the finances of the county
that owing to the heavy expenditures
of the county already incurred and
which come up for payment next year
that 1t is doubtful if there will be
enough funds available for Jefferson
county to maintain it's road work with
convict labor. 1t is certain that the
100000 approximately expended dur
ing the past II months on the construc-
ton of new roads and repair of the
old roads by Jefferson county will not
be repeated at any time soon in the
future. This, of course, is. excluding
the hundreds of thousands of dollars
that will be spent by the county in the
construction of the Nichols Fishtrap
road If the board of revenue awards
the contract on September IL.
Anyway, whatever is done or left
undone, there Is no question but that
the incoming board of revenue will
have some expert financing to do if
1t desires to keep the county in a SOL
vent condition.

A HARD PROBLEM

The changing from the fee system to
the salary system will be one of the
hardest problems to face the incoming
board of revenue will have.
The above is what the incoming board
of revenue will face. 1t will come into
office with debts aggregating the income
and with the problem of financing the
county so that the necessary convict road
work may continue. as we'll as to raise
the funds to pay the salaries of the
Judges solicitors, clerks and other court
officials, not forgetting their own stipend
1t is agreed that it will be difficult
task.
The present board of revenue, as is
known, has incurred some extraordinary
expenses. The present cost of maintain
ing the convicts on the roads in the va
rious activities now pursued by the county
is $50, 900 month or approximately 100000
annually. This exceeds the money avail
able in the various road and bridge funds
by some $50, 200, which explains, accord
ing to members of the board of revenue.

Commissioner Hornady resumed his
campaign for the 3-mill school tax yes
terday afternoon, when he spoke to
large meeting of farmers at Concord. The
farmers of this district held a large pic
mic and "get-together" meeting for the
purpose of amalgamating their interests
and for the betterment of the farmers
of this district.
Mr.. Hornady, County Superintendent
Mcneil, Assistant Superintendent Baker.
DR.. J. NJ. Phillips and others spoke in
favor of the amendment.
Mr. Hornady said. in part:
Change is essential to progress, and
the proposed amendment to the consti-
tuition is a change that stands for adj
vancement along the highest and best
lines. The constitution is a set of rules
that we have adopted, and these rules
are subject to change as experience
demonstrates the wisdom of making such
changes. Experience has shown that the
best results cannot be obtained educa-
tionally without amending the constitu-
ton, and there should be no more hesi-
fancy about making the change that is
shutting the train for the stage coach,
or the ancient messenger for the tele-
graph and the telephone. AS now framed
the constitution does not permit us to
raise money enough to educate our chill
dren, and it is immensely important that
we make a change as speedily as pos
siblc.
GREAT FORWARD STEP
1.-THE adoption of this amendment
means that the people of Alabama may
| have the privilege of taxing themselves
as much as 8 mills if they feel like in
vesting this much money in the education
| of their children, and when it has been
adopted it will mark one of the greatest
| forward steps in the history of the
state. 1t does not mean an increase in
taxes; that election will come later, but
it does mean the introduction of that
principle Of home rule under which the
citizens of every county will have the
privilege of spending enough money to
roperly equip their children for the dis
charge of the duties of life. There is no
reason why the children of New York,
of Massachusetts or Illinois should en-
joy greater advantages than the chill
dren of Alabama, and every impulse of
parental affection and of community
pride should urge us to put our children
on an equal footing with those of other
states
Alabama Is possessed o potential
| wealth equal to that of any state in the
| union, and the sons and daughters OF
