CALL ON GOVERNOR i ID SAVE HIGHWAYS
 AND SOLDIER VOTE.
Arnold and BaiIes Address Civic Association and Or ganization Adopts ReSo- Iutions Advocating
 Extra Session

Following short addresses by J. c. Arnold, member of the state leg islature, and George L. Bailes, commander of Birmingham Post No. 1, American Legion, resolutions were adopted by the two forums of the Civic Association at their joint luncheons yesterday calling upon the governor of Alabama to assem- ble the legislature for the purpose of resubmitting the road bond is- sue and the soldiers poll tax ex- emption to the people of the state, and to take steps toward postpon- ing the various municipal elections in the state so the ex-service men can vote in them.
 Mir. Arnold pointed out that the state of Alabama will lose $6,000, ,000 to be used on the roads, s3,0o0,oo of which would come from the state and like sum from the federal gov ernment, If the governor did not call the legislature into session in time for the road amendment to be ratified before July 1, 1922.
 Tt Is the concensus of opinion among the soldiers to whom I have talked" Mir. Bailes said In his ad- dress. that the governor of the state should take steps to place the ballot back into our hands since it has been taken away through no fault of our own.
 We were surprised that he did not call the legislature into session last week. He had assured us that he was going to call it, and the ex- service men of Alabama were dis appointed at his failure to do so.'
 Concerning the various suggestions which have been made as to the pos abilities of allowing the soldiers to vote in the Birmingham election, Mir. Pailes said it was felt by the Amer ican Legion that their only appeal was to the governor, and now that he had turned them down they sim ply had to abide their time.
