The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1916-09-26

From zeist. Holland, to Birmingham is
far cry.
That The Age-Herald is we'll known in
a Holland camp for prisoners of the
Belgian army is attested by the fact that
a postal card was received by The Age
Herald yesterday from zelst, Holland
The postal is addressed to the Editor of
The Age Herald, Birmingham, Ala" The
United States postal authorities supple
mented the state Alabama" when the
letter reached New York.
There is no sign of any stamp on the
postal. In bold letters across the face
of the card the following words are
written in English: mo charge for post
age. Prisoner of war mail. New York.
N, y On the upper right corner of the
card stamp is in evidence bearing the
following words: "Legerplants. Buzest."
The postal was mailed August 26, and
reached its destination yesterday after
noon at o'clock. The writer of the
card is Arthur Limbosch. "a Belgian
soldier informed, Second Coast artillery
Shed rs, Camp L, Zeist, Holland"
Now Arthur has evidently been a pris-
oner of war for several months and is
OF an industrious nature. Knowing The
Age-Herald to be the paper of all papers
in Alabama in which to let the people
of the United States know he had some
thing to sell, which he has made while
prisoner of war, he took the opportunity
of writing the editor of The Age-Herald
to ask him to let the readers of this
paper know all about it. Here is the

COMMITTEE OF 500
NAMED BY BUSH TO
HELP IN CAMPA
Prominent Men All Over the
County to Assist in Fight
for Educational Tax
Amendment

The fight for the passage of the edu-
cational amendment to the constitution.
to be voted on in November, providing
for a special 3-mill tax to be imposed in
counties desiring it, is taking on re-
newed activity. The committee of 500,
which will be composed of the leading
citizens from all over Jefferson county,
is now being appointed by Morris w.
Bush, president of the Chamber of Com
merce and chairman of the Jefferson
county committee.
According to Mr.. Bush, every precinct
in the county will be represented by
prominent citizens on this committee of
800, and a thorough canvass of the county
will be made. 1t is the purpose of this
committee to pass the amendment by a
full vote in this county. They want,
above any other thing, united vote on
this question in November.
At a recent meeting of leading citizens
Mr. Bush was instructed to appoint this
committee. The following letter, which
will be sent to all persons designated for
the committee of 500. will be mailed out
over the signature of Mr. Bush:
MIX. BUSh'S LETTER
"At an informal meeting of prominent
men of this county, was requested to
appoint a committee to take charge of
the fight in this county to promote the
passage of the school amendment to our
present constitution.
mo more important question is to be
voted on in the November election The
success of this amendment is vital to
the city of Birmingham, to the county or
Jefferson and to the state. Our first
consideration must be the improvement
of educational facilities both in the town
and in the county. Even in our Central
high school, the most important and ex-
pensive school building in our county
some of the classes are in insanitary
frame buildings. some are in the room set
apart for the library, some are in the
room set apart for athletics, some are in
the basement, and many, in fact the ma
jority, are hopelessly overcrowded The
same conditions are true in even greater
measure in our grammar schools.
HOur existing school facilities are ut
terly unequal even to our present needs.
If this is so in Birmingham, what must
it be in the rural districts of the coun-
ty? If it is so in imperial Jefferson
what must it be in the smaller counties
of the state? If it is so now, what must
it be in the future?
81 have taken the liberty of appoint
ing you on the committee to promote
the passage of this amendment. I should
be glad to hear from you, but if I do
not hear from you 1 shall construe your
silence into consent and will put your
name on the list formally when it is an
nounced. At all events, l earnestly call
upon you as a good citizen to use every
influence to procure the passage of this
amendment"

A MATTER OF ECONOMY

The taxpayers of Colorado are being
gouged to the extent of SAT, ,22l 66 to
help pay the expenses of the republican
state campaign, according to figures in
connection with the cost of publishing
initiated and referred bills just compiled
by the editors of number of democrat
ic and independent newspapers. The
law provides for the publication of in
itiated and referred bills in each of the
63 counties of the state four weeks pre-
ceding election. The construction which
always has been placed on this provis-
ion is the publication once week in
weekly paper.
This is generally accepted as the
spirit of the law. In compliance with
it, the cost of publishing the seven in
itiated and referred measures this year
should be $25, 7S1. 40. Thru a deal en-
tered into by Secretary of State John
Ramer and the Carlson administration
with the republican newspapers OF the
state, however, the cost to the taxpay-
ers will be $73, ,OO5. Is. To get news
paper support, it is charged. the admin
istration sanctioned a wanton violation
of the spirit of the law by having the
measures published "a times in each of
the 18 republican daily newspapers of
the state.
Thirty-thr initiated and referred
measures were published for the elec-
ton during the first term of James B.
Pearce as secretary of state, at a cost
of $l15, 900. Had the Carlson Ramer
system been applied, the cost to the
taxpayers would have been $87l. 1850.
The Keota news., 1916-10-27

During the second Pearce term 16 in
itiated and referred bills were published
at cost of approximately $4,000. The
Carlson Ramcr system would have run
up the billto s454, 275. 72. Yet the Carl
son administration is shouting ''econo-
my" for the benefit of the taxpayer.
