Montgomery. January l6,-(SpecialJ Alabama sheriffs who are still beius pad fees for their services will get large increases if the senate concurs in the recommendations of the house, the lat ter having voted. 55 to 45. to give these additional fees. Jefferson and Monteso cry counties are excluded from the oper- ation of the bill, because these counties are paying their officers salary. Mo- bile, which still pays fees, will be re- quired to pay the additional money if the bill is enacted by the two houses.
 Not since the legislature convened last Tuesday at noon has there been such op- position to a bill as that which developed when the sheriffs fee bill came up for it's third reading Thursday morning. Benners of Jefferson county asked for an amendment to the bill which would exclude his county from getting the ben eft of it. He explained that the lief ferson county sheriff was being paid salary and that the county did not de- sire to go back to the fee system. Then there followed an amendment which re- quired about three hours to dispose of. Cobbs of Mobile, the second to suggest a change, asked that clerical error be corrected. This was done.
 Greene of Dallas, one of the speakers for the amended bill said the sheriffs ot the state must be paid more money. He said that the coming of a more strin- gent prohibition law which now is be- fore the two houses will result in the appearance of stills in the hills of north Alabama and the deserts of south Ala bama.' Efficient men, he said must handle the situation.
 Faulk of Geneva county met defeat when this bill was being amended Ha desired to make certain changes in the bill, but his colleagues would not agree. The bill was sent to the senate with out engrossment.
 House Bill No. 3. which permits cer tain increased allowances to sheriffs for the feeding of prisoners. was sent back to the rules committee after the house had been informed the senate had adopted the bill of Senator Carmichael. which is similar to the house bill. The senate bill will give more money for feeding Of prisoners The allowances are ar ranged in a sliding scale.

 Director General Hines will not ap- pear until near the close of the hear ing to sum up the case for the proposal to extend government control until 1924
 MT.

Such an interrelation exists between all arteries of commerce. he said, that they should be subject to the same con- troL
 Senator Pomerene of Ohio said he could see no reason why any carrier should be excluded from the proposed Thom declared continuance of the present railroad control act in peace time would be unconstitutional, because 1t would give the President power, by order to nullify any law made by Con- gress to regulate commerce. The ques- ton of the validity of the present con trol act was raised by Senator Cummins of Iowa because disobedience of presidential order overriding legisla- tion is made crime.

 The three-year enlistment was pro- posed to reduce the annual turn around" of men to keep the ranks full General March said. It means re- cruitment of 160.000 men a year, which he believed could be accomplished
 Don't you think it would be wise to include as permanent provision of law" asked Representative McKen- zie, "the statement that in time of war we would raise our armies by con scription?' y
 That's where the administration steps in," the general said
 You recall that MT. Lloyd George (the British premier) has said he was not in favor of conscription anywhere at any time in future. We don't know what the peace conference is going to bring us.'
 General March said the national guard was a present out of existence" and addedSthat until the men who real ly compose the old guard and are now in France have come home, not even the governors or adjutant generals of the states can forecast it's future. The general said it would be manifestly unfair to organize new force which excluded the men overseas. and that no appropriation for the guard had been proposed.
 MT.

It seems probable no Russians will be seated as representa- ives or their nation, but they may be con suited for information from time to time, as the conference decides what it shall do to check bolshevism. The American viewpoint that food is the best ammuni- tion against bolshevism seems also to be that of the British at least. and q number of plans now are being worked out to get food into Germany at points where it is held necessary to supply it.. and certainly to the war ravaged new states of southeastern Europe
 In all these discussions the American officials are losing sight of their plans for getting the American army back home as quickly as possible.
