ROAD AMENDMENT IS ATTACKED IN
 FRIENDLY ACTION
Petition Seeks to Enjoin State From Issuing $25, 100000 Road Bonds-Supreme
 Court Will Decide

! Montgomery, December 22-(Special.)-
 Serious doubt among many attorneys
 that there was full compliance with the constitution in the enactment of the law submitting the 100000 road bond issue
 caused the filing of a friendly test case l in the circuit court of Montgomery
 county late Wednesday. A decision
 against the state will mean the invalida-
 ton of the law and the consequent null | lfication of the right of the state high way commission to issue and sell the bonds
 ] The attorney generals department i found several errors in the act, and it's i opinion was borne out by another opinion given by a firm of bond attorneys of Boston which was employed to pass upon the legality of the bonds Both opinions suggested that test case be carried to
 the supreme court in order that pres pective buyers of the bonds may be as- sured of their validity.
 TERMS ARE VAGUE
 The case was filed in the name of A. M. Johnson, Jr., an automobile owner Of Montgomery who asked for a permanent injunction preventing tine state highway
 commission from issuing or selling any of the bonds, the contention being that the bond issue amendment never became valid part of the Alabama organic law
 In support of the petition, the bill al legged that the law said there should be
 an advertisement of the election seven weeks when the constitution says the advertisement shall continue for eight weeks; that Governor Kilby has gwen the power to fix the date of the election when the constitution says the date shall be fixed by the legislature; that the act submitting the amendment was amended by the governor after it had been read on three different days in the two houses when the constitution says all measures submitting amendments shall be of full force and effect without the approval of the governor.
 It was also alleged that the constitu- tional amendment which was ratified Dy the voters is vague and indefinite and IS susceptible of so many constructions one cannot determine what was intended by
 the law-makers.
 OTHER ALLEGATIONS
 In asking for the injunction, the peti- tioner alleged that the legislature at the extra session submitted an amendment to the amendment proposing change in the interest rate and that unless ie- cison is rendered in this case at once this election will be. held. He also al leged that as the constitutional amend- ment was never submitted properly, the use of any state funds including the automobile licenses in the payment of interest on the good roads bond issue, will be a diversion of public funds to uses not permitted by legally enacted laws.
 This bill is of far-reaehing importance, as it involves all road work now being planned by the state highway commits

sion. If the amendment has not been legally submitted and has not become a part of the state constitution, Alabama will return to the system used prior to the session of the legislature in 1919 and no funds will be available with which 90 match the federal appropriation dollar for-dollar as was contemplated when the amendment was adopted.
 Governor Kilby, all members of the state highway commission and the at torney generals department are anxious to obtain decision as soon as possible Until decision is rendered by the su- preme court, no bonds will be offered to the investing public Attorney General Smith stated that the defects were dis covered several weeks ago, and that all persons connected with the states legal department were agreed that there muss be a construction by the states highest

Another one cent increase in
the price of print paper compels
US to follow the example Of the
other newspapers of the state
and raise our rates. After this
date the subscription price OF the
Caledonian-R Record will be $500
the year by mail; three months
by mail, Sl.50 and one month by
mail, 30 cents.
The Brattlebolo Rcformer has
Just increased its rate to $500
per year and 8 cents per single
copy. The Caledonian- Record is
the very last OF the newspapers
of the State to Increase to $500
Il year. Both the BURLINGTON pap
ers are now charging three cents
pei copy.
The circulation Of the Gale
donian-RecoId has increased rap
idly during the past few months
and has now heached 2700 daily.
In July 1919 when the present
management took charge the net
paid circulation was 1900. There
has been over 1000 gain in daily
circulation in II months.
We are paying 3 Sd cents a
pound for neWsprint in 1919. 1t
IS now 6l2 cents 4 pound. As we
use 1900 pounds a month this is
an increase of close TO 5000 a
month.
We had hoped Oh Sept. 1 to
have an eight page paper daily.
The scarcity of newsprint and
the increasing costs makes il
prohibitive to establish an eight
page paper except when the
volume Of advertising warrants
it. We hope TO be able to have
an eight page paper at least
three days a week during the
coming months.
