COUNTIES HIT BY
 COURTS DECISION
Persons Convicted of Minor Fel0nies Can't Be Worked
 on Roads Is Ruling

Montgomery, June 1S.-(Special)- )-- Counties which work their convicts sentenced to two years and less on their public roads have received serl- ous blow by the decision of the court of appeals Tuesday in the case of Cliff which the court held that the inde- terminate sentence law makes no pro- vision for the imposition of indeter- minate terms at hard labor and that all persons convicted of minor felonies must be sentenced to indeterminate terms in the penitentiary.
 The counties will lose many men by the decision if it is sustained and the ney generals department has filed an application for rehearing. HarweH G Davis, assistant attorney general has filed q brief in support of his con tention that q person convicted or felony and sentenced to no more than two years can be placed at hard labor for the county.
 The code of 1907 provides that a ptTSOH COHNlcltu OI ei lCACfty anu ''~H fenced to more than two years must go to the penitentiary; that one convicted and sentenced to from one year and one day to two years may go either to the penitentary or to hard labor for the county, the discretion being with the court, and that one convicted and sentenced to less than one year and one day shall serve at hard labor for the county The indeterminate sen tence law makes no reference toi hard labor and the court of appeals ruled that as all persons convicted of fel- onies should be given indcterminate sentences. as required by the new act, the sentence must be in the peniten- tiary. The real effect Of the decision lis to give the state the services of all persons convicted of felonies regard less of the length of the sentence.
 Counties will be unable profitably to work convict labor on public high ways unless they can obtain some felony cases. Not enough persons are convicted of misdemeanors and given hard labor sentences to meet the over head expense of maintaining road working system A great majority of persons convicted of misdemeanors pay their fines and costs Those con- victed of felonies and given hard la bor sentences cannot pay. Therefore. minor felonies must be mixed with misdemeanor cases if the public road system is to be maintained with con |vict labor.
 Etowah county, from which the Fox case came. is one of the counties vitally affected by the decision. Fox was sentenced to hard labor for steal ing an automobile. The court of ap- peals affirmed the Judgment of. the lower court as to the conviction. but returned the case with instructions to send Fox to the penitentiary instead of to the county road camp.

For the Good of
 the Community

A IL Alabama is interested in the port 4 of Mobile. In fact, this interest ex- tends to all South Atlantic and Gulf ports, this state Birmingham especially, doing a lot of shipping via Savannah, Pensacola and New Orleans as we'll as by Mobile.
 In vague kind of way Alabamians are pulling for the port at Mobile but few have probably acquainted themselves. with the talking points in favor of this export outlet.
 In the matter of geography alone there is world of argument in favor of diver sion of congested traffic from the three great eastern ports, New York, Philadel- phia and Baltimore, to more natural and economical gateway
 These three eastern ports are all in a nest covered by radius of two hundred miles. They are alike remote from the producing west and middle west.
 Here are some of the comparative dis tances:
 Denver to New York, 1926 miles.
 Denver to Mobile, 1,424 miles.
 Why haul Rocky Mountain stuff des- tined for export useless additional 300 miles over route that is severely handi- capped by winter weather conditions when there is non-congested port that is much closer and to which the haul is less disturbed by weather conditions?
 Kansas City to New Y York 1907 miles.
 Kansas City to Mobile, 863 miles.
 Another saving of 500 miles of trans portation by diverting Kansas products and those of the neighboring section to the non-congested port of Mobile.
 St. Louis to New York, 1,059 miles,
 St. Louis to Mobile, 637 miles.
 Another opportunity to save 400 miles of expensive railroad transportation winding up with tie-up at New York or Philadelphia
 Chicago to New York, 908 miles.
 Chicago to Mobile, CPS miles.
 Another invitation to choose direct down-hill route of better transportation conditions and shorter distance.
 Indianapolis to New York, SIP miles.
 Indianapolis to Mobile, 781 miles,
 Mobile is almost on the same degree of longitude with Chicago, Cincinnati and a lot of cities in the Ohio valley. They are much more contiguous to us than most Alabamians have given thought to, while New York is much more distant from them than we have bethought ourselves of Alabama and these western points are on western time, New York, Balti- more and Philadelphia on eastern. That suggests the distances.
 But, to secure the business, these south ern ports must have facilities. New Or leans got into the game early through state aid An expenditure of $23, 100000 on her terminals seems a stupendous thing, but business resulting has been stu pendous and the investment has been an asset, not liability, to New Orleans and Louisiana.
 A world of export formerly done through eastern ports is now done at New Orleans, Birmingham exporters have had their customers to order diversion of export movement to New Orleans
