Look Out. Gov. Stanley.


We want to see Gov. Stanley's Ad-

Kentucky and we would also like to
see it a success for the good of the
Democratic. party, but 1t looks to us
like running on some very weak rails
and If persisted 10 will result In a
smash up and general wreck. Start
ing out upon the idea of strict economy
the people generally approved. There
must, however, be consistency in this
policy. Telling the Legislature that
1t must get along without extra help,
Gov. Stanley appoints extra help him

eral at $3.50 90 per month, and another
at $500 90 per month. As the Attorney
General is we'll equipped to attend his
office and the State has provided

of the State. The Governor under

Of all the county officers, and the most

who is still in Mr.. Goodpaster's office.
Gov. Stanley has gotten the wrong
idea in his head. He seems to think
that he was elected Governor in order
to discredit everything he can find
about the former Democratic Admins

DOCTORS URGING
FOX HEALTH PLAN
Prompt Action on Request
Is to Be Taken by the
Board of Revenue

Prompt action will be taken by the
board of revenue upon the request of
the Jefferson County Medical society for
the adoption of the Fox health plan for
the county.
A committee of the Jefferson County
Medical society appeared before the
board of revenue yesterday morning to
urge it's adoption.
DR.. t. d. Parke, chairman of the COM
mttee. made the principal plea for early
and favorable action. He pointed out
the important features of the proposed
system and the necessity for it's adoption
He stated that a government sanitary
expert would be stationed here for a Pc
riod of at least one year. provided the
county would pay his salary for that
length of time.
Other members of the committee who
urged favorable consideration of the plan
were: DR.. B. l.. Wyman, DR.. H. S. Ward,
DIR. d. r. Talley and DR.. E. M. Mason.
The Fox plan provides for the ap-
pointment by the Jefferson County Med
ical society of county health officer
who shall be an expert sanitary engi-
neer, and two assistants. The health
officer shall be the ranking official in
the county on all matters pertaining to
health and sanitation. The plan also
provides that the county shall take over
and operate the meteorological depart
ment now conducted by the city.
Each member of the board of revenue
promised earnest consideration of the
project and a decision not later than
Thursday of this week.

WANTS TO REDUCE
SINKING FUND TAX

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
The balance sheet showing the finan-
cial condition of the city presented in
your issue of today as coming from
the president of the city commission
ought to be encouraging to every citizen
and taxpayer of Birmingham. and Pres
ident Ward as head of the financing de-
partment of the city. is to be congratu-
lated upon the good showing.
The published reports, 1915, of the city
commission, show that the bond issue
prior to the adoption of the state con-
stitution, for which the sinking fund is
provided, amounted to 81. 104, 600 The inter
est on all of these bonds to the matur-
ity thereof will amount to s610,650, making
the total sum to be provided for s27l4,65o.
According to Commissioner Wards state
ment, the city has now on hand, in the
sinking fund, fully preserved from mis-
This leaves only $2,179,4 40 necessary to be
collected to meet the bonds with inter-
est.
Assuming that the collections from adj
valorem tax is now 100000 per annum,
one-half of which, to-wit: $4,000 Is for
the sinking fund; and providing for no
increase assessment, nor for interest to
accrue on bank balances on this fund.
it Is plain that this extra assessment OF
mills for sinking fund will produce S.
OO0, 900 in the next 16 years, to which add
the cash balance now on hand of $780,
1885, by the expiration of the authorized
time for making this levy
The question is what is to be done with
accumulated fund? 1t cannot be used
Says the COURT for any other purpose
than to pay debts contracted prior to
the adoption of the constitution; and
said debts in no wise approximate this
amount
Now here is an excellent opportunity
for the city commission to do a vast serv-
ice to the taxpayers. to lift an unneces-
sary burden and to still protect the
credit of the city; and that is by reduc-
ing the levy of mills to mills for the
sinking fund account. This will prove a
boon to the new school tax proposition,
and would be proof convincing that the
present city commission is really repre-
sentative of the people who pay the taxes
and who are interested in the welfare OF
the city. Respectfully.

TURKEY IS
ONLY A LITTLE HIGHER
Celery Cranberes Selling at Exactly Same Price Last
Year-Turkeys Are From to Cents a Pound
More Expensive

they have ever been, and the price will
be very little higher than it was last
year. according to Bell-Rogers Produce
company representatives. Dressed tur-
keys will sell on the avenue this year
at about % and % cents which is about
a cent or maybe cents higher than the
price las1 year. Celery, likewise a neces-
sary Thanksgiving commodity, is selling
at $3.50, no advance in price over last
year, and cranb erries are selling at 10
cents, the same price at which they sold
last year.
AS to butter and eggs, well, if it's to
be a real Thanksgiving, perhaps it's just
as well not to say anything about the
price of butter and eggs. They are both
very plentiful, however and can be
bought in large quantities on Morris ave-
rue, provided, of course, you care that
much for butter and eggs.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1916-11-22

The Thanksgiving turkey will gobb.e
just as cheerily around the Birmingham
Thanksgiving board this year as in years
gone by, the high cost of living not
withstanding. For, from local dealers the
message is being sent broadcast that the
Alabama turkey still lives and flourishes,
and that the gloom which it's added high
cost will cast over the Thanksgiving table
will mount up" to only a cent or two
per pound.
Notwithstanding the fact. that rumor
has been abroad that turkey would be
a scarce commodity in local markets long
about Thanksgiving day, poultry and
produce dealers on Morris avenue discred-
it the statement.
Turkeys will be just as plentiful as

Speaker, However, Does Not
Expect to Be Reelected
to Place Without
a Fight
RAILROAD PROBLEM
is BIGGEST ISSUE
BEFORE CONGRESS
Says Democratic Party Is
Pledged to Enact Legis-
latiOn Which Will
Prevent Strikes

Champ Clark, speaker of the House OF
Representatives, is firm in his belief that
Woodrow Wilson will have a democratic
House.
Despite the prevailing reports that the
republicans are in the majority, he avoWs
that the democrats will organize the
House. The matter of adopting legisla-
ton that will prevent railroad strikes is,
in his mind, the paramount problem that
will confront Congress.
The Mssourian, who missed being the
nominee of the democratic party by a
scant margin, seemed to be bored when
questioned as to how he regarded the
outcome of the past presidential race,
and declared that it was mighty close"
Evidently the democratic sage had been
bombarded with queries of this nature
before during his lyceum travels.
THE democratic party will organize
the House." said Speaker Clark. 1T
will be close. The democratic major
ity may be limited to single vote,
when the election returns are COM
plete.'
While he did not express himself as
being positive of having the support of
the members of the House. who are not
aligned with either party, Speaker Clark
made it plain that he expected aid from
this source. However, the leader of the
democratic forces in the ''more numer-
Gus" House of Congress-as he prefers
the House of Representatives to be
termed-does not expect to retain his
poSition without fight.
