PRUNING POLICY
 ID START SOON
Department Appropriations Will Be Set by the County
 Board of Revenue

Fixing of definite appropriations under which each department of the county will be required to operate during the coming wear In order to keep within their living expenses, which was scheduled to be made by the board of revenue yesterday, will be done early this week.
 Consideration of the matter was postponed owing to the engagement of the board in matters pertaining to the sale of $394,000 worth of county road improvement bonds.
 Following fixing of the appropria- tions for the various departments the board will issue a comprehensive statement, it is said, which will set forth in detail the present financial condition of the county, the causes operating to bring it about and the course to- be pursued by the board during the coming year in an effort to keep the operating expenses of the county as whole within it's income. Adoption of the appropriation system is expected to result in considerable pruning in expenses of the various ot- fees by the board, especially those whose expenses have exceeded thelr income during the past year, and may take the course or salary cuts and some dismissals.
 The pruning policy of the board was started recently when seven free la bor road camps were abolished and ths purchasing department was done away with and will probably be fol- lowed by cuts in other departments of inc county,

 Prisoners
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Axe-Heraid,
 800 Davidson Building.

Washington, December 17.-Spe- cial)-To the plea of the socialists that blanket pardon be issued III favor of the 200 and more "politi- cal" prisoners. President Harding has turned a deaf ear. On the con trary, he has asked the Attorney General to take up each case sep arately, and on eacn make a sep aiate recommendation
 The effort of the socialists is di- rected chiefly in behalf of Eugene pcbs, whom they have repeatedly tried to elect President of the United States. He was declared by 8 jury to have been guilty of att tempting to obstruet the govern ment in it's effort to defeat Ger many on the battlefield.
 The effort in behalf of Debs has been consistently sustained. Former Attorney General Palmer recom- mended that Debs be pardoned. The recommendation was returned to Palmer with denied" written across the face of it, and the initials, w. "" inscribed as proof of the power behind the denial.
 When Harding was elected, so- cialists renewed their efforts. They thought that they had won their erty permitted Debs to come to Washington unaccompanied But five months have elapsed. And they now ask for a blanket pardon.
 The President has let 1t be known that he will take his time before passing on the Debs case, and other cases

 During the past week 1l5 persons were given employment. according to the weekly report of H. E. Oliver, director of the federal-municipal em- pioyment bureau. There were 64 ap- plications filed during that period and orders for 142 workmen were received.
 Mir. Oliver is most anxious to have all employers keep in touch with the employment bureau, particularly If they are in need of workmen. The bureau can furnish anything from skilled workmen to dish washers, he stated, and he wants all employers to cooperate with him in obtaining workmen.
 We have several thousand names on our list and can fill orders for all most any kind of labor he said. "while we placed 1f5 people last week, much of this employment is only temporary, just for the holidays, and a great portion of it is domestic help',

ARGUMENTS ON THf SMALL CASE ENDEL
Court Fails to Uphold 0Hh Charge Against Illinois
 Governor
By Associated Press

Waukegan, Ills. December r. - With announcement by the court that he had already decided ons charge-that of operating conf. dence game-would not be upheld arguments on the motion to quash Indictments against Governor Len Small and Vernon Curtis, Grant Park, Ills. banker, closed today.
 Judge Claire C. Edwards. from the bench, announced he was in perfect accord with the contention of the defense that the confidence game charge was faulty, the state having failed to allege commission of felony through omission of the word "feliously'
 With this charge eliminated, there remained IS counts against MT. Curtis and 24 against Governor Small. charging them with embez- element of state funds and conspir- acy. Judge Edwards probably will hand down his decision on the mo- tlon to quash these counts next week.
 In the indictments remaining to be passed on, 12 are counts of con~ spiracy against each defendant, IF of embezzlement against the gov ernor and six of embezzlement against MT. Curtis. Six counts charge Mir. Small personally with embedding s5O0.000 while state treasurer; and six counts charge the governor and Mir. Curtis with Lieu tenant Governor Fred E. Sterling, with embedding S70O.0OO.
 The conspiracy indictment names all three in an alleged conspiracy involving s2.000,00O of state funds.
 Counsel for both sides will sub init their final briefs to Judge Ed- wards Monday, and he anticipates having his decision ready by Friday or Saturday.
 In the closing argument, C. C. Ieforgee, chief counsel for the gov ernor reiterated the defense's charge that the grand jury which returned the indictments was H. legally selected: that it violated the law in returning a special report purporting to set forth the evidence on which it had acted, and that the indictments themselves were in in many respects faulty.

 .ITSAD VALOREM TAX.

Checks totaling S9,676.9S, covering its ad vaiorem taxes on it's property in Jefferson county for 1920 were sent 10 James F. Hawkins, tax collector yesterday by the Bessemer Coal, Iron and Land company.

 The Bessemer company is said to be the second corporation to make settlement of it's 1920 taxes, the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany having settled several weeks ago. Several other corporations are still involved in conferences with the tax commission relative to the amount of taxes due by them for that year.

ACT ID PROTECT STATE OFFICIALS
 IS DECLARED VOID
Law Was Intended to Safe guard Officials Paying Out Funds Under Acts Later
 Held Unconstitutional
By TIRED H. GoRMLEY Montgomery Bureau The Age -Hernid, 221-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, December 17.-(Spe- cial. .)-Declaring that the act might more appropriately be entitled An act to suspend the constitution of Alabama" the attorney generals de- partmeDt late Saturday made pub lie an opinion holding the act to protect state and county. officials and other persons against suits to recover money paid out under stat utes subsequently, held to be uncon- stitutionai and void" itself to be un constitutional, void and unenforce- able.
 The act was passed by the legis- lature at the extra session which end ed October 29. The law was intended to relieve from financial responsi- bility stats and county officials who had already paid out state and coun " funds under laws which the su preme court had held to be invalid. The attorney generals department ruled that this act was in direct and notorious conflict with Section 100 of the constitution, which provides that No obligation or liability of any person, association or corpora ton held or owned by this state or by any county or other municipality thereof, shall ever be remitted, re- leased or postponed or in any way diminished by the legislature. nor shall such liability or obligation be extinguished except by the payment thereof"
 In the opinion, the attorney gen erals department says the provision of the constitution lis so plain and emphasize in it's terms that he who runs may read" and continued, "The writer can conceive of no law which could conflict more directly with the letter and spirit of Section 100 of our constitution. This section oper- ates directly upon the legislature. and was intended expressly to pro- hibt the very thing which the leg stature now attempts to do.
 "As the act in question admits of no construction not in conflict with Section 100 of the constitution, it is void. 4 void thing is nothing. 1t has no legal effect whatever and TO rights whatever can be obtained ul- der 1t or grow out of it in law. It is the same thing as if the void thing had never existed"
 The opinion of the attorney gem eral was rendered to Judge c. E. Mccall, chief examiner of public ac- counts.

Great Singer BelieUes in Hard Work, Fun;
 Gets Into City While Weather Is SurLy.

soul. but it was at the St. Louis ex- i position"
 Mir Mccormack says that there never is time that he is compelled | to force himself to work-he likes | it too well-and l. am free to say that l believe there is never time i that his Irish grain of humor fails to function. One of the cleverest things I've heard lately was story of him related by Mir. McSweeney. It was not long ago, when a cer- tain college honored him with a de- gree of doctor of literature, and en- tertained him at a college banquet. Said MT. McSweeney:
 This college Is one which has sent ! forth many clergymen as well as l members of legal and medical pro- fessions. The different orators arose and glorified their classes in loyal l and eloquent style. The lawyers.had their defenders and eulogists. and wise and witty speakers praised the clergy, doctors, sculptors, architects and men of other learned callings. When it came MT. McCormacll's turn to speak, he gladly acknowledged all these things concerning such profes- sional men, but made the hit of the evening when he declared that these mems usefulness ended with their lives, but that singer had a pre- destined place. He enlarged upon this point and brought it to a sweeping climax as follows;
 His Job Continues l. In the next world said MT. Me LCormack, we will have no need Tor II pains, so there will be no need for the doctors. So. also, will 1t be with the lawyers, as there will be no trou- bles or contentious there. The arch itects. sculptors and painters will see in heaven only the finest works in their line, and so 1t will be through out the gamut of all occupations and callings.
 But for the singer-the singer. ah. how different it will be! He must sing. He will be in demand. He will continue to sing, as 1t is his occupation alone of all worldly call ings that will continue to exist in heaven. And he will sing forever and forever!
 1 am inclined 10 believe that all great singers came from heaven anyway, and were just lent to the earth for a little while. And so 1 do desire that if l ever. get up there. which l hope srdently to, to find MT. Mccormack there ready to sing Mother Machree" when the daily program is put on. Which may sound sacreligious bit but isn't.
 Sings Several Programs
 Mccormack Is blessed with the ability to sing seven or eight pro- grams in one season-which illus trates how marvellous is his capac- itv for applying himself to his art, and he says very emphatically that of all things in the world he loves and is interested in, it is music in all it's phases
 MT. Mccormack comes to Br- minghma as the last stop on a southern tour. From here, after his performance this afternoon, he will go to New York city, He came here from Memphis
