Railroads Are Badly In Need of Rolling
 Stock Equipment

Railroad officials in Birmingham say hat if all the equipment manufacturing plants in this country were to drop everything else they are now doing and
 Devote their full time to making passen- |ser and freight rolling stock, they would have all they could do to make what they fould sell for the next two or three years.
 These officials are rather difsident hbout being quoted while the roads are Ftill under federal control, but they say frankly that rolling stock is needed, and Fery soon must be produced There has been very little if any coach building done during the war period com pared to what could have been sold and used. and after March orders are indi- hated in big amounts.
 The situation is not so pronounced with motive power, for that was we'll supplied before the war started, lasts longer than he other sorts of equipment, and there Evas much locomotive building going on Turing the past several years, but there Ehe almost adequate supply ends.

SOLDIERS NEED NOT
 PAY ANY POLL TAX
he Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 note that the assistant city attorney of Birmingham advised the American Legion that under the poll tax amend ment recently passed all ex-soldiers who owed poll tax at the time they entered the service would have to pay such back poll tax.
 Now the amendment reads as follows "The payment of the poll tax mentioned in the constitution of Alabama shall not be required of any person who served m the military or naval service of the United States for d period of not less than four months between January 1, 1917. and November H. 1918. and who has been or who may be honorably. discharged from said service, and who was quail fled elector. except as to payment of poll taxes. at the time he entered said service, or who has since become such qualified elector. except as to payment of poll taxes. Any such perso,. is exempted from the payment of all poll taxes until Sep tember 30 1923
 think it is plain that under this amendment any and all soldiers who were honorably discharged from the service, and who were registered when they en- tered the service. or have since regis tered. are qualified voters. for, unless tarred byother disability such as convic- tion for crime or mental disability, such person would be "a qualified elector except as to payment of poll taxes ana would be exempt from the payment oi all Dell taxes. including any that ht might have owed when he entered thu service until September %. 1923. I cannot see that any other construction of thu amendment is possible.

commission will recognize this federation, whether a conciliation between the teachers for the purpose of obtaining in- creased remuneration will be effected or whether the commission will promise to devote any of the tax proceeds to in creasing salaries is problematicaL
 But not only are the urbi patr con fronted with the task of appeasing the educators. They must also settle two other controversies, that between DT. Bowling and the real estate men and that between pr Bowling and the dairy men. These latter two problems are less difficult of solution, but of paramount inn portance.
 pr. Bowling has dccketed 160 cases against realtors for alleged violations of that ordinance requiring separate toilet for each tenement house. The dirt ven- dors declare that while the doctors reg ulations are theoretically all right, they are too drastic, and impracticable, and would put many property owners out of business, at the same time neeesstating big increase in rentals.
 The realtors have asked for a connpro- mise law, requiring a toilet for every two houses. The doctor is firm against com promise and charges that powerful in- terests'' are opposing needed reforms when a compromise is even suggested. The commission, which will have to act as umpire, is as garrulous as an oyster. The 160 cases against realtors are slated to come up tomorrow.
 The dairymen are preparing to fight the milk ordinance to a finish if it is put into effect next month as planned. The lacteal fluid merchants declare that it is impossible for them to meet the bac- teria requirements of the ordinance and impracticable for them to deliver all rfik sold in bottles as specified by Dr. Dowl- ing. They say that the enforcement of the ordinance will mean bankruptcy for 90 per cent of them, and ask that the separate bottle provision be eliminated and the bacteria requirements be low cred The doctor as usual is firm. The commission as usual is the umpire.
