NEW SALARY BILL
is BEING FRAMED.
Hemingway Bill Before Legislature
Would Put Salaries On
Definite Basis.

A bill providing a new basis of sal
aries for sheriffs, tax collectors. cir
cult clerks, chancery clerks, assess
ors, county superintndents of edu-
cation, and other county officers, was
introduced in the House this past
week by Mr., Hemingway of Kinds.
This is one Of the most important
measures that will be offered at this
session. The new statute placing all
county officers on salary basis, eff
fective ON January LIST, has caused
widespread discomfort among county
officers, and at a recent meeting of
officers-elect in Jackson an organiza-
ton was formed to put the matter
before the lawmaking body.
A meeting of the legislative COM
mittee of this organization was held
here yesterday, and after conference
with Mr.. Hemingway bill was franz
ed that will probably be satisfactory
to the county officers.
Briefly stated, the measure divides
the counties into five classes, based
on assessed valuation. The maximum
assessments in counties exceeding
100000, and the minimum is coun-
ties with assessment less than ST.
100000.
In counties Of the maximum class,
for instance, the sheriff and tax col
lector gets $4,000 per year, and in the
minimum class, $500 per year. Max
imum salaries for chancery clerks are
$4,000 per annum, and the minimum
$1,000. Other officials have practical
ly the same range, minimums for cir
cult clerks being $3.50, supcrint nd
ents of education $4,000 and members
of the boards of supervisors is $2,400
Salaries of the assessors are graded
according to the assessed valuation
of their respective counties.
The bill is Of considerable length,
containing 32 sections, and will prob
ably be given hearing next week
before the committee on fees and sal
aries. ase M a.
The Hemingway bill fixes the sala-
ry of the Governor at $4,000 per
year, with $500 per annum for the
Lieutenant Governor and Speaker of
the House. The Governor is also al
lowed $1,000 per year for stem
ographer.
The salaries of the six Supreme
Court Judgs are fixed at 81, 500 each,
as at present, but a commission is
created, composed Of members of the
tribunal, to determine what opinion;
of the court shall be officially re-
ported, and allowing the members
$4,000 per year for this work, Thi
method of increasing salaries for the
members of the judiciary was adopt
ed in Missouri and stood the test of
the constitutional prohibition against
increasing or diminishing the compen-
sation of these officials during their
term of office. The pay of the re-
porter of the Supreme Court if fixed
at $4,000 per year, and the court is
allowed two stenographers at $500
per year, and the reporter a steno-

SEARCH WARRANT MAY BE NEEDED
 TO SEIZE BOOZE

Brooklyn, March 29-A conference of Federal officials will be held in this borough tomorrow to decide whether search warrants shall be re- quired before confiscation of liquor possessed in violation of the Volsted Law. At the conference will be Fed eral Judges E. L. Garvin and Thomas I. Chatfeld, United States District Attorney Leroy W. Ross. and United States Marshal James M. Power.
 Judge Manton recently held a search warrant was necessary. United States Commissioner Michael F. Mo Goldrick held that, if liquor is found, a search warrant is not necessary, for a delay might make it possible to hide the liquor.
 Commissioner James H. McCabe had the question before him Saturday when Frank Murphy was arraigned. He had been arrested by the police on a charge of intoxication. Five half pint f1asks of whiskey were found on him, it was said. Commissioner McCabe said at first that the Hquof had been illegally confscated, since no warrant had been obtained.
 Recently the commissioner dismiss ed several cases of a different nature because no warrants had been ob- tained- However, he held Murphy for the grand jury after Assistant United States District Attorney John T. Enc had declared that the finding of the liquor on the man justified the procedure
 There is a report that search war rants may hereafter be issued only by the judges

ARE TO BETTER
 EXPRESS SERVICE

New efforts to improve the stand out the country are contemplated by the American Railway Express Com pany, which will continue the hand ling of the business as a single unit, for the time being, at least
 A statement to this effect was made today by Agent Driver in charge of the local express offices, in urging shippers to be patient and to lend their cooperation in bettering the express service.
 ftNow that the American Railway Express Companyess operating under it's own management" said Agent Driver, i've are gradually returning to normal conditions and are intro ducing a great many changes in methods which we expect will, within 2 reasonable time, show results very satisfactory to shippers.
 We have already accomplished much since the time of the merger in 1918, and the service is generally con- sidered good. But we do not say it cannot be improved and that is our aim Yet we cannot promise imne ne- diate improvement, owing to the un- settled conditions that have to be faced durin>> this period of readjust- ment With the improvement of the railroad service and with more fla cihties in cars and terminals, we be- lieve that we can show great progress in this direction.
 'It is out of the question to con sider what some peoTHe call the 'un- scrannbling' of the American Railway Express without greatly unsettIing the whole express business and doing more harm than good to the shipping public. The present company is an organization that took over the bus mess of the seven formerly separate companies and consolidated their working forces into a unified operat- ing agency of 100000 men
 We have consolidated the routing of freight so that it is now on a na- tiona1 basis, giving shippers the most direct railroad routes available for the handling of their business. The cen tralized management has made pos sibIe the introduction of standardized and improved methods of express op- eration throughout the country. We believe that shippers appreciate the advantages of standardization of the express business
 '~The situation with the express business is different from that of the | railroads, in that the Government has simply guaranteed the present com pany against an operating deficit for the next six months, instead of guar anteeing the profits for period of three years, as has been done with the case of railroads. But no service can survive if it is operated at a deficit, and so we feel it is necessary for us to have an increase in express rates, in order to make the express service a paying business, and to I bring it up to its old standards of efficiency.''

CAR COMPANIES EXPERIMENTING
 WITH AUTO BUS

New bus lines are being established in many sections of the country. Street car companies are trying out the motor bus as a substitute for trolley extensions that are unprof1ta- ble and are establishing lines into new suburban territory that needs service but previously could only be reached by trolley extensions that would call for heavy investments for franchises and equipment Many in- uuiries are being received by the bu- reau from cities that are too small to have a street car system, but must have means of transportation.
 The 60-passenger, double-deck bus, with upper deck encased in glass is the latest type to appear in Chicago, indicating great progress in the de- velopment of an industry that is still in it's infancy. Auto manufacturers have been quick to realize the grow ing need of buses and are rapidly making standard types.

BIRMINGHAM IS
 A SINGING CITY

As a pioneer in community singing, Birmingham, Ala, has not only ac- quired a reputation all over the Southland, being the only town in the United States that has held it's sings consecutiyely since their organization in the summer of 1917, but has deveI- oped that community spirit which makes for a better town
 Prior to the establishment of it's sings there was much need for community work in Birmingham and it was Prof. Robert Lawrence who first enlisted the interest of the people in bringing about a Community Sing.
 The first sing was looked forward d to with much anxiety by those who had the plans at heart. Long before the committee and officials reached the scene, the entire park was pulsat- ing with humanity.
 Since then these sings have been conducted every Sunday afternoon from to o'clock throughout the summer.
 When winter came, the indoor series was held in the Bijou theatre, where, each Sunday, thousands of music loving people were turned away for lack of even standing room.
 The crowds that attended these sings were so large that when spring arrived and the outdoor sings were resumed, the accommodations in the park also proved inadequate. So ir the spring of 1918 an amphitheatre with a, seating capacity of over 6,O0( was erected in the park.
 During last summer sings were held in all the parks, department stores business colleges, telephone ex changes, cotton mills and various civic clubs, more than 1000 sing! have been held. which means that fl the aggregate more than 25,000 peo' pie were reached. What better gift tt the people!

Several feathers are included in this sale of shoes, dull black kid, patent coltskin, feldmouse brown kid and olive brown suede, a very pleas material and faultless workmanship, made in the same factory which produces the regular shoes selling to-day at $500 and $20.OO.
 This seems a wonderful bargain and it is. The reason is that there are too many of these shoes in stock, and also the demand now is for Oxfords and ''Two Eyelet Dixies'' approved by fashionable girls. However, if you want pair of high boots for next fall pair of dress boots to wear this summer this is opportunity not to miss. Many women are unable to wear a low shoe or pump be- cause their ankles need support. That prices for these very same shoes will be higher next fall goes without saying.
