Hello. this Is Milady Brown; did some one ask me to call Main s51?" Hello. this is Myrtle: did you want to speak to me% Such calls as these kept officials at the city jail busy all day yesterday. The warden, worried to the ragged edge of nervous prosperity, stationed a man in an easy chair with the phone in his lap to answer calls, and he was kept busy all day. Last night, he said, 1.356893 people had called. but the number, on inves- tigation, shrunk somewhat, and probably totals about 200.

INCOME GOVERNS
 COURT EXPENSES
Jefferson Circuit to Rearrange Salaries to Come Within
 Returns

Salaries of employees in the office of tho clerk of the circuit court, in both the criminal and civil divisions. will probably be readjusted by the board of revenue
 kesolutions calling on William T. Waldrop clerk, to submit at once a recommendation for the readjustment of salaries to such an extent that will bring the operating expenses within the income of the office using the receipts of the year 1s0 as a basis, was passed by the board of revenue yesterday.
 This action was taken as result of the recent action of the circuit judges post poning putting into effect a reduction of four clerks in this office until July l. instead of yesterday, when it was scheduled to go into effect.
 According to the report of the state examiners this office is costing in sal aries for operation an amount in ex- cess of the income of the office, ana it Is stated that the treasurer has mo- tified the boart he will refuse to pay warrants for the operation of the or- fee in excess of the income. Members of the board of revenue state in view of this fact the responsibility of reducing, the expenses of the clerks office has been placed on the board by the judges in extending the time for the reduction of the force. There is only one way in which this can be done, they say, and that is by readjustment of salaries to decrease the expense of the office to such an extent that the treasurer will feel justified in paying the salary war rants of the employees.
 The clerk is also called upon in the resolution to furnish, if possible, statement showing the estimated income for 1921 based on past experiences.
 In a recent decision of the supreme court of Alabama it was ruled that the operation of all departments of the cir cult court should be kept within their income. The board of revenue is en- deavoring to comply with this ruling.

Eleven Columns of Amendments.

THE extreme fault of the revenue bill,
as The Herald sees it is the fact that it is not
bill for law, but series of amendments
Of 10000 words in the total. To make the law,
one law these two will have to be read, studied and
construed together. Instead of simplifying this
will greatly complicate the law whole and make
its construction more the work OF philadelphia
lawyer and impossible to the average business man.
Why the committee chose this method rather
than rewriting and making complete act, is be-
yond any but Congressional ken. II should not be
made more necessary than before to hire lawyer
to find what the tax is, even by a man of moderate
income. 1t should not be made necessary to read
the two laws together when they could be easily
combined in one. Reference to sections, subdivi-

be avoided by merely rewriting the law as whole,
