Selma Amendment Deserves Support


The campaign committee for the Selma amendment the
state constitution which will be voted next month"; work
ing hard to set before the of Alabama matter which
deeply the residents Of that city The proposed change
does not increase III the rate but merely reappor
tionment to meet present needs
AS the committee points out Selma alone will be affected At
present the tax rate is mills 80 cents per 800 Of this
amount mills to governmental and school expenses and
mills to the retirement of bonds and the payment Of interest
the ''war debit Of mills will not provide funds
enough to maintain city and public schools while only mills
required Of bonds in accordance
with the law instead OF the mills put to this
The people Selma transfer mills from the bond
fund the school funds Instead of paying mills
to general mills the school fund and mills to the
bond fund they the apporonment to be- General fund.-
A mills school fund mills bond fund, mills
Since Selma enrolment has doubled in the past 10
years readily be that the at present available
for less than needed and the educational de
veopment of the states oldest and best cities is seriously
handicapped
It desired impress the voters of Alabama that the tax
PAYERS the state large will not be affected by this proposed
amendment while the taxpayers of Selma will not have their
taxes increased there is practically opposition to the
amendment among citizens should overwhen
ngy in the approaching election.
IF the voters of Alabama will do their duty and support Selma
in the oudabe desire improve her educational facilities at
expense either herself the state there will be
no doubt about the result

CANDY-EATERS

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
The Pennsylvania Grit says the United
States is candy-eating nation. An
nually the American people consume $780,
100000 worth of CONNECTIONS.
If this is a vice, we don't know what
can be done about 1t. If it is virtue,
we feel highly complimented at the rec
ord the American people are making in
living it.
AS a matter of fact, it is not difficult
to understand why we eat SO much OF
the stuff What in this world tastes
better than candy, be it peppermint or
lemon stick candy? Do you remember
there we go again!-when you were a
boy, how you went to the country store
with a newly acquired nickel and squan-
dered every cent of it for a dozen sticks
of sweet candy? And do you remember
how when you went accounting you took
along a three-pound box of fine candy,
and the two of you sat on the sofa and
ate the stuff until not much of it was
left for her mother and little brother!
And can you remember when you bought
a box of any kind of candy for your
wife?

BEST FED ARMY I'm THE WORLD

frugal in the last Russo-Japanese war,
when they employed Cinnamon to gather
up the spent shell cases and rifle cart
ridge cases from the battlefield, but the
British are going them one better, >and
are gathering together the old garments,
and employing 1000 French girls to sort
them out, cut off the buttons that can.
be used again, wash and clean up all
leather straps, and resole and heel boots.
They have machinery for the latter work
and 5000 pairs of boots daily are soled,
heeled and new iron tips placed upon
them, washed and oiled up, until they
look like new, and thousands of laces
are cut by stamping presses from pieces
of scrap leather, mostly by the girls, who
are able to earn good wages at the work.
Even waste paper has been Grated and re-
turned to England.
One cannot help being impressed with
the wonderful spirit of the men. covered
with mud, or marching along in the
drenching rain, laughing and smiling, yet
knowing that in a very short time they
may be either wounded or killed. The
commissariat is partly responsible for
this as it stands to reason that man
cannot fight unless he is we'll fed, and
I claim that the British army Is the best
fed army in the world.

HOTEL LOBBHES


Charles Hall, a we'll known engineer
and labor leader, emphasized yesterday
the Importance of the mass meeting of
, the labor's cooperative citizenship and
educational committee at the Bijou thea
tire on November s. as the place where
the voters of the district might receive
instruction on how to vote on the con-
stitutional amendments and also on the
national ticket.
Mind YOU" said Mr.. Hall, mo one
will be told how to vote, but all sides
will be given an opportunity to present
their views and then the voters can make
up their minds, just like a petit jury.
The labor's cooperative and educa-
tional committee realizes that there has
been too much pettifogging in politics
Too many candidates slip in office by just
begging votes of their friends, and what
labor demands in the Birmingham dis
trict is to have the issues of any cam
paign presented in a straightforward
manner, in order that an intelligent
analysis by the voters may follow. The
constitutional amendments present some
formidable questions to the voters. They
would like enlightenment, and therefore
speakers of reputation, who will favor
and who will oppose will inform labor
at the Bijou theatre mass meeting of
their views of the matter. From hear
ing the biased views of both sides labor
can judge for itself what is to its best
interests.
These mass meetings will continue
from time to time in future campaigns
as the sole purpose of this committee is
TO enlighten the voter and not to urge him
to vote on any particular measure or
ticket

Trash ON Streets

There is tendency on the part of the
Birmingham people to throw quantities
of trash and paper on the streets" said
Commissioner j. D. Truss. II hope to
see the citizens cooperate better with
the street department in this matter.
abhor the idea of arresting good citi-
zens for the violation of an ordinance.
This is not my style. / think most people
in the world will try to respect the laws
If their attention is brought to the fact
that they are doing something which Is
prohibited.
II trust that the citizens of Birming-
ham will refrain from throwing paper
on the streets and thereby make the city
cleaner and more sanitary. We have
about So men to keep hundreds of miles
of streets clean. This force is about one
fifth what 1t should be. 1t is necessary
that the citizens help us or we are power
less to keep the streets clean"
