outline the new plan in detail at con- ference here tomorrow and Friday, with the republican state chairman.
 Everyone recognized the necessity of meeting legitimate campaign expenses" said Mir Hays. There is just one way for this money to be provided and that is by means of small contributions from the great membership of the party. This plan will be followed completely. A gem eral committee of ways and means, act ing with MT. Upham, the treasurer, will carry this work into each state and into the cities and towns with a definite or ganization for the raising of money. The purpose will be to get small contributions from a great many members of the party. It is the plan to have these sus- taining contributions run from year to year and in amounts from S1 up No contribution of more than 5000 will be received from any one"
 Chairman Hays added that the financ- ing of the republican campaign would be "an open book and that it would accord with the best spirit of the campaign publicity laws of the nation and the states"

BESSEMER NEWS

Bessemer, May H.-(Special)-The or dinance for paving Nineteenth street from the east side of Fifth avenue to the west side of Twelfth avenue and from First avenue to the Alabama Great Southern railroad was repealed by the city council at their regular meeting Tuesday evening.
 The repeating of the ordinance grew out of Mayor B. C. Jones veto of the resolution passed at an adjourned meet ing of the council Friday evening, May 9, which specified that asphaltic concrete paving with concrete base be used in the work on the proposed paving. The mayors veto was sustained by narrow margin of one vote, six aldermen vot- ing against it. The reason as stated in the objection offered by the mayor was that he did not consider that asphaltic concrete was the type of paving to be used, especially from Fifth to Eighth avenues.
 Mayor Jones also recommended that the old macadam base be used which would mean a great saving to the prop
 
 backed in his statement by the city and consulting engineers. The character oi asphalt proposed to be used in the con- tract was not of as good quality as others on the market was another req son offered by the mayor. In his state ment the mayor strongly recommended bithulitic type of paving on a macadan base as being specially adapted for the proposed paving.
 The auction was argued pro and cor for nearly two hours, following the read ing of the mayors veto, contractors that were present entering into the discus sion. The ordinance was passed 1T March and was thought to be the first oi several paving ordinances to be passed during the spring and summer, whicf makes the repeating of more than ordi- nary significance.
 It was voted to take up improvement bonds to the amount of $3000 which pay ment is due in 1922, making a saving o1 S105 for the city.
 The ordinance requiring taXicab drivers to change the present route to Reeders was reported on unfavorably, as the pro

PRINTING PLANT TRAVESTY.


 l went through the printing plant which is a travesty on what an up-to. date plant should be, and so far as could learn, without any value whatso- ever in the way of being of any practical use in instructing the boys in the prln- ter's art. The machinery in the wood working plant is out of date The shoe- making department is turning out snoes without adequate modern machines, as is also the case in the tailoring room. It's shame to install a lot of second hand machinery and then have inexper- fenced boys as instructors and camou- flage by calling it an industrial school. This is not to criticise those who do the best they could with insufficient means.
 The whole air on the inside of the various buildings is depressing, when It should be bright. It is wrong to herd a lot of boys in such dark rooms. Children require light and air and cheery sur roundings. It is impossible to make boys care to be tidy if the ceilings are cracked, the paper peeling off, the walls dirty, and the closets leaky.
 The only bright spot l found on the inside of any of the buildings was the band room, but it is not housed as 1t should be. We see the boys in their spick and span uniforms as they parade through our streets and we get the idea
 
 the school, but if you could have seen the shabbiness of their clothing as l did it would have made you want to go be- fore the governor and plead for them.
 But if the inside was drab the outside was alive with color. If man has slacked in his part, the good God has made the valley, the hills, the trees, and the spring things of eternal beauty. I have never seen a more perfect tree than is one or the many which lifts it's arms out over the grass beneath. It was worth trip out there to see it.
 The farm is most attractive. The barn with it's silo gave out the air of a mod ern dairy, and the herd feeding on the meadow looked mighty good. It was restful to the eyes to look upon the lovely scene which nature had spread around the buildings. The yard was as clean as any in Birmingham. There wasn't a speck of paper in sight.
 The big spring at the foot of the hill is capable of giving out thousands of gallons of cool, clear water for bathing pool. and it's just robbing the boys of a great pleasure not to provide them with a place to swim when it could be done ] so easily and at such a small outlay. I hope that the Chamber of Commerce, l the Civic association, the Rotarians, the | Kiwanians, the Civilians, the Community and other social clubs together with the 1 religious and fraternal orders will ap- | point visiting committees to go and see l for themselves and then from their num- l Der select representative men to get in behind the governor and aid him in his 1 wish to see to it that the school is am
 ply cared for by the state of Alabama

TWO WHOLLY UNIFIED.

Of the four buildings, two are great wooden structures wholly out of date and unfitted for the service for which they were built. Two of them are mod erately good to look upon from the out side but badly constructed on the in- side and in poor repair But the press ing and immediate need for change comes from the fact that they are veri- table firetraps, and a constant menace to the lives of the boys.
 Superintendent Weakley was in the city, but I was shown over all the build- irgs by H. F. Thompson, his assistant. There was no attepmt to hide anything, but every door was unlocked and noth- ing spared to let me see things as they are I came away feeling that so far as possible those responsible are keeping the premises and the buildings in as cleanly a manner as possible.
 But having said this, I must go further and state that the buildings are most un- attractive. The dormintores are over crowded, the bathing facilities made quate the indoor play rooms entirely too small the dining room, which is in the basement, a place of gloom, and the classrooms in the school not what they should be. The hospital needs much to modernize it.
 I got there just before dinner was served and went into the kitchen and saw the food being prepared. l tasted the corn bread and it was better cooked than most that you get in Birmingham

Governor Kilby is going about seeing things with his own eyes. He is abso- lutely on the right track when he says that Alabama's sons are not being cared for as they should be at the Boys Indus trial school at East Lake.
 This is not to be taken as a reflection on the years of noble work put behind the institution by self-sacrificing women and willing men. It is but an indictment of the niggardliness of the state in fail ing to rise to it's opportunity and meet the necessities of the situation./
 Upon reading the special from Annis- ton in which Governor Kilby scored the conditions he found at East Lake upon his visit, l made up my mind to go out unannounced and get first hand view of the institution ana then write. my findings out without color or prejudice.
 Now, l understand that the manage ment is not to blame for the conditions, and I am sure that the trustees have wrought the best possible with the means at their hand. but this will not mend matters or relieve the state of the onus of the shame unless something is done to put the school on a proper footing.
 I think the location is ideal, but the buildings and equipment are wholly in- adequate to meet the ordinary require ments of decency and prudence needed for the care and instruction of the lads who when sent to the institution have a right to expect that the state will give them every chance to fit themselves for lives of usefulness
