Amendment Elections
That Must Be Carried
| 1.-TWO great measures will come
u before the people this winter
for action, and both of them should
win by large majorities. The first is
the right to increase the tax rate in
iforty-two cities. Birmingham only
asks for five mills increase. That
will give US ample funds to keep
clean city, public health facilities, an
adequate police force and other things
that go to make up modern and
presentable city.
City Commissioner John R. Horn
ady is making a vigorous campaign
for the tax rate amendment, and as
he says, it must not fail; and it will
not fail if our forward-looking citi-
zens will bestir themselves during the
next few weeks.
The other amendment is for the
ratification of twenty-five million
dollar road bonds issue, the funds to
be derived, not from the tax payer,
but from the automobile license. Such
large sum, with twenty-five million
dollars of federal money added, will
put Alabama in the very first class
of good roads states. That the roads
bonds will be ratified, it will go with
out saying.

Bob makes no pretense to oratory and
is bit hesitant about talking in pub
lie; but when he gets on the subject
OF better and prettier homes. when
the problem of housing stirs his imag-
ination and grips his heart. he speaks a s
one inspired and never fails to hold
the attention of his hearers. He sees
that attractive and comfortable homes
are among the best cures for discomfort
and restlessness and that it is wisdom
on the part of the great industrial cor
portations to give their employees a
chance at such living conditions as
will make them satisfied.
But he sees deeper and realizes that
private investors must not leave the
matter solely in the hands of EMPLOY
ing corporations, but must also get into
the game; for he believes that the
money tied up by the former should be
loosed for plants, for none of the big
industries willingly enter into the
erection of houses, and only do it be-
cause of the lack of individual enter
prise. He had a wonderful chance in
his government work to get al the real
source of much information which he is
! ready to use for the upbuilding Of this
district.
Bob Jemison is but type of some of
our splendid home boys who have made
good in our midst and who are worthy
our support and who are willing to
lead in the identifying and improving
of Birmingham in every possible way SC
that it will be the best residence and
business city in the entire south.
