For the Good of
the Community

ON MONDAY, August Is, several
bond issue propositions were sub
mltted to the voters of Birmingham. The
objects of these bond issues were con-
coded by all to be worthy and of vital i'm
portance to the community
The special election called for the pur-
pose had been advertised in. the news
papers and otherwise for weeks in adj
vance. Civic bodies, labor organizations
and clubs of various sorts indorsed all of
the proposed issues and all of them car
RED by substantial ma ,or:t;eS
Some of the joy over this practical dem
onstration of civic pride was killed, how
ever by the fact that only a small per cent
Of the voters took the trouble or interest
to go to the polls, although they were open
for eight or nine hours. According to the
returns made by the election officers only
about $500 votes were cast, which is not
much in excess of rs per cent of the total
qualified voters in the city.
At Five Points, for instance, 43 votes
were cast out of total of something like
200 qualified voters In this same pre-
cinct it is estimated there are approx
mately 900 white men Of voting age IF
this estimate is correct then tWo-thirds of
the men are not sufficiently interested in
their government-city county, state or
federal, to use a few minutes of their time
in going to the office of the registrar and
having their names enrolled Probably
half of these 400 who have failed to quail
ify are within the poll tax age yet they
have neglected to pay the 81. so year to-
wards the education Of the boys and girls
Of ocrn iob
registering.
Much has been said in the past about
the character of men who have been
elected to office. The people en- masse
have been condemned for electing incom-
petent men to office, and of the refusal of
high grade business men to seek office.
Who is to blame for this condition.
In the Five Points precinct more than
two thirds of the men are property own
ers and with few exceptions, if any, they
are business men. Vet only 43 Of them
voted in an election called for the specific
purpose of authorizing the city to incur4
bonded debts aggregating S4500,000.
The men who will have the spending of
centage of the voters of Birmingham, and
the money put into their hands has been
put there by an almost negligible percent
age of the voters.
The present city commissioners are
honest men, and honorable, and no doubt
they will spend the money judiciously and
wisely. But suppose they don't, whose
will be the fault?
Will the non-voters have any just com
plant? will the business men who stay
away from the polls have the right to COM
plant? Will the business men who stay
into office and squander the tax payers
money? Or will they be justified in com
planning if their taxes and license or priv
ilege taxes are high?
During the war slackers were univer-
sally condemned. Is not the man who re-
trains from voting for the men who are to
levy and collect their taxes and admin
lister their laws slackers? Has he the
best Interests Of his community, state or

FULL JUSTICE PROMISED

II am aware that railway employees
have a sense of insecurity as to the fu-
ture of the railroads and have many
misgivings as to whether their interests
will be properly safeguarded when the
present form of federal control has come
to an end. No doubt it is in part this
sense Of uncertainty that prompts them
to insist that their wage interests be
adjusted now rather than under condi-
ticns which they cannot certainly fore
see. But l do not think that their uneas-
mess is we'll grounded. l anticipate
that legislation dealing with the future
of the railroads will in explicit terms af-
ford adequate protection for the inter-
ests of the employees of the roads; but
quite apart from that, it is clear that no
legislation can make the railways other
than what they are, great public in
terest. and it is not likely that the Pres
ident of the United States. whether in
possession and control of the railroads
or not, will lack opportunity or per-
suasive force to influence the decision Of
questions arising between the managers
of the railroads and the railway en-
ployes The employees may rest assured
that, during my term of office. whether
am in actual possession of the rail-
roads or not, 1 shall not fail to exert
the full influence of the executive to see
that justice is done them.
Il believe, therefore. that they may
be justified in the confidence that hearty
cooperation with the government now in
its efforts to reduce the cost OF living
will by no means be prejudicial to their
own interests. but will, on the contrary,
prepare the way for more favorable and
satisfactory relations in the future.
I confidently count on their oo-opera-
ton in this time Of national test and
crisis."

The fourth round was comparatively

RowIands hooked to Griffiths' jaw and
Grifftths retallated with a terrific left

face when the round ended.
The sixth was even, with both boys
fighting hard. The seventh was earned
by Griffiths, who kept his left jab
working overtime, and which Rowlands
couldn't escape. In the eighth both
Rowlands and Griffiths cut loose all
they had, each swinging from the floor
trying for a knockout, but no damage
was lone and the round ended COM
paratively even. Referee Hack raised
Griffiths' hand, signifying the winner,
and the decision was literally APP
plauded.

The class Of baseball may not be

indication that the league will have u

Cities which formerly made no money
are able to keep their heads above the
financial waves this season, and in
stead Of keeping notes in the banks in
order to operate, they are able to pay
their way as they go along, with all
indications pointing toward a good bank
balance at the end of the season. After
