 The civic minute-man, the civic builder, and civic worker who is note ever ready to aid in time of distress humanity that is less for tunate than he and his, is not true citizen, or patriot. The civic minute-man performs his civic du- ties intelligently, efficiently, and courageously When he decides upon his rights, he makes up his mind to lay aside his private af- fairs and his immediate personal interests where the we'll being of the community or state demand it. He will give thought, energy. time any money to protect the rights and construct the fabric of democratic society. Tn other words his civic family interests are of just as much concern to him as his private fam fly interests.
 Consequently. Birmingham must feel her pulse and see if her heart is beating for the girls who need Birmingham help now--right now, that they might be given that right that is theirs, regard less of the reason, why's or where flores of their present environs--- for they must be woven into the fabric of that democratic society that is the backbone of any com munity. They are our cares until we make them seaworthy. It would never do to turn their frail crafts adrift now

of the city, the Fl Paso Tax Payers
association has been organized, and its
influence in economy and good gov
ernment has already been broadly
Is Busi=sss Proposition.
The existence OF the association
implies no dishonest motives on the
part OF city or county officers, but
recognizes that any government
should be run on a business basis and
the interests Of the people handled as
economically as the private venture
Of q careful business man would be.
To this end the best business men Of
the city have Joined hands to see that
the city's business has the advantage
Of things they have learned In bust
ness. and to institute IN the local
system OF accounts any better method
discovered which may save time and
money
There IS q tendency in many cities
10 continue the methods OF the officer
who preceded merely because It is
the accustomed way ana not because
So Is the best way. Many times It is
impossible for an officer TO secure
change which he knows viii be to
the advantage OF the people who have
honored him with office He is IN
able TO make the change because the
people themselves 90 not understand
the proposed change and are not
therefore in favor OF it. The purpose
of the Tax Payers association Of tn
city Is TO champion such new meth
DDS as viii be for the best interests
Of citizens and to make plain to the
public how such changes Will be
beneficial.
one OF the troubles IN city gov
eminent In past years, which has been
common in all cities, Is that the Off
GERS and the voters meet only at
election times. Taxpayers have been
accustomed TO know how well can
didale can shake hands and the eZ-
tent or his ability as a mixer among
the people, and have known too lit
tie about his work In office. There
Is a tendency in campaign times 20
speak on subjects that are popular
but which are not always down to
brass tacis- Throughout the country
organizations like the local Tax Pay
ers' association are bringing the
voters and the officials into more
frequent and closer contact, the com
mon grounds being the question Of
better methods.

The association IS Incorporated and

he wants to. and often q mascot Is
