 SEVEN-CENT FARE

Owing to the high cost ofLeverything in general. jitneys are jitneys no longer. It now costs seven cents to board one of these convenient cars and ride home or to work.
 Trying not to profiteer, and at the same time protecting themselves against the recent advance of gasoline, the jit- ney drivers of the Southsde organized and met yesterday to decide fair charge. As they thought that ten cents was toe much, and that they would have to pocket loss with five cents as a fare the drivers compromised on seven cents as a justifiable increase.
 "We know that the people of Birming. ham will stand by us,' said one or the drivers yesterday. They will under. stand that we are trying to do the right thing. Gasoline. tires oil, and thou sand and one things have gone up. and jitney drivers have to live the same as anyone else

SHERIFF NEEDS
 MORE DEPUTIES
Proper Enforcement of Dog Law Makes Them
 Necessary

Additional deputies to properly en- force the state dog law in Jefferson county will be asked for by Sheriff J. C. Hartsfield from the board of reve- nue.
 This follows the Nceipt of letter from Gov Thomas E. Kilby, which states that the law is being flagrantly violated, and calls for a strict enforce ment of it's provisions.
 In many sections of the state, the governor said. no efforts are apparent ly been made to enforce the law.
 Sheriff Hartsfield stated that in or der to properly enforce the dog law and discharge his other duties, addi- tional deputies would be necessary. He stated that he would take the matter up with the board of revenue in an ef- fort to secure the necessary appro- priation to pay the additional men.
 q am constantly in receipt of re- ports from many parts of the state to the effect that this act is being flag rantly violated and in some instances it seems little if any effort is being made to bring about it's rigid enforce ment,' says the governor in his letter He enclosed copy of the dog law and called special attention to several of the provisions of the act He em- phasized that it is made mandatory on the sheriffs throughout the state to enforce the provisions of the act He called special attention to the section of the act which provides that deputy sheriffs and constables must shoot on sight dogs allowed to run at large without tag and muzzle.
 Under the terms of the act the sher- if is required to ascertain and report all delinquents. To do this, Sheriff Hartsfield pointed out, additional men will be necessary.

Resolutions indorsing the 2-nfill tax election for the better compensation of school teachers were unanimously adopted by Birmingham Council, No. a, Junior Order of American Mechanics at the regular meeting held last night.
 The resolutions follow:
 Whereas, from it's inception, sixty seven years. ago one of the chief objects fof soieitude and care of the Junior or der United American Mechanics has been ,''to maintain the American public school system, to prevent sectarian interference otherwise, and to uphold the reading of the Holy Bible in the schools thereof" and
 Whereas, through the instrumentalities of changed conditions in our economic af- fairs brought about by the upheaval oi war the compensation provided the teach CTS in the public schools of Birmingham has been shown to be inadequate to pro- wide decent and desirable living condi- ltions; and
 Whereas, because of this fact our school system is threatened with the loss of very many of it's most competent teachers, who naturally are turning to oc- lcupations where the compensation is more attractive; and
 Whereas, an election has been provided for Saturday, May 8, at which our citi- zens have the opportunity of voting a l2-mill tax, the proceeds of which are to be applied to compensation for teachers in our public schools, and thus in meas ute restore confidence that our citizens will maintain our public schools. the bull wark of liberty in a people s, form of gov ernment:' therefore, be it
 Resolved, by Birmingham Council, No i21, Junior Order United American Me chanics, that we call upon all our mem bers to work for and support with their votes the 2-mill tax to be submitted in the election of Saturday, May s. and tc do all in their power to obtain such af- firmative action on the part of our citi- zens generally;
 Resolved, further, we give it as ouI solemn belief that the influences opposed to our public school system. which mani fested itself in the burning of three mag nificent buildings dedicated to public edu- cation in this district some months ago would rejoice to see our public school sys- tenn undermined through continuance of the present conditions of a dishstegrating teaching corps, and we therefore call upon all patriotic Americans to avail then- selves of the opportunity to maintain our public schools as against their insiduous enemies;
 Resolved, further, that these resolu- tions be furnished The Age-Herald with thanks for past favors, and request the same be published"
