LOCAL SHR|NERS
 FEATURE PARADE
Zamora Temple Creates Big Impression at Des Moines.
 Mrs. Davis Better

Birmingham Shriners from Zamora temple created very favorable im- pression at the meeting of the im- perial council which closed in Des Moines, la, Wednesday night, ac- cordingi to messages received here yesterday.
 The charters especially distin- euished themselves in competitive concert, and were requested to ap- pear before Governor Kendall in his executive office. He expressed him self as being particularly glad to welcome the boys from the home town of Oscar W. Underwood.
 The Zamora band also attracted much favorable comment when it ap- peared in concert on the streets of Des Moines. At a spectacular cleo trical parade, the Zamora degree team typified the Birmingham dis trict by appearing in miners caps and lamps. carrying coal picks.
 The final day of the meeting was featured with 8 competitive patrol drill. Low Salter, so the report goes. established a champion record for a fat mans endurance dancing. It says that he waited for the music to start and did not quit until the breakfast bell rung.
 As had been anticipated, Ernest A. Cutts of Alec temple, Savannah, was elected imperial potentate. MT. Cutts was entertained here last week with the other members of the Alec del gation from Savannah. He is very popular with the members of the local temple.
 The Birmingham delegation was entertained yesterday in Chicago by Medina temple. A great reception is expected in that Tom Houston of Me- dina temple was elected imperial outer guard at the Des Moines meet ing. The Birmingham delegation left Chicago Thursday at midnight and will arrive in Birmingham at S:4o o'clock Saturday morning. Mrs. Luther Davis of Tuscaloosa, who was hurt in an automobile accident in Des Moines. is coming with them. and is said to be recovering rapidly from hAr in iurieS.

The commission has been profoundly disappointed as each difficulty has been overcome to find it succeeded by others, regarded as yet more bur- densome by the receiver We think the time has come for the utility to make a somewhat more convincing showing of its disposition to have recourse to rate increases as a last rather than as first resort
 NThe commission has occupied
 a constructive attitude to this
 property that does not warrant
 the existing precipitate action
 and is unanimous in its conclu-
 sion that if the pending applica-
 tions are successful and eight
 cent fare and transfer chnrges
 are put into effect on the present
 record, without better evidence of the stringent economies dem-
 manded by the times, without n more patient and cooperative eff fort to study the results of the jitney ordinance soon to become effective, and with more definite programme of economies in traffic routings, the commits sion win be forced not only to intervene i'm the pending applica-
 tiOns, contest them on the merits, both before tho puDnc service commission, and, If necessary, on
 appeal. hut also to challenge both in that proceeding nnd in the courts of Jefferson county the power oi the legislature to au- thorixe the receiver to Ignore the terms on which the consent of the city was obtained for the op- eration of the utility over the public streets.
 "The city commission has. out of z desire to be helpful toward re-or ganization refrained from any ac ton that might result in the amend ment of important franchises. l has made known to the public serv | fee commission its disposition t work out sound and permanent basis for reorganization and stil hopes that action will not be force' which may result in the indefinit prolongation of the receivership an, | even more serious consequences t the property"

FAREWELL PARTY
 FOR CREDIT MEN.
Walter Hooper Guest of Honor at EdgeWood-Resolu-
 tionS Adopted

The Associated Retail Credit Men of Birmingham gave a farewell party to Walter E. Hooper, credit manager of Loveman, Joseph & Loeb last night at Edgewood Park. MT. Hooper leaves Sunday for Chicago, where he has ac- cepted a position with Mandel Broth CTS.
 Representatives were present from all the large downtown stores. They met in front of the Birmingham Trust & savings Bank, at 6:15 p. m.. and went out to the park in a body. A big open-air dinner, watermelon cut ting, and swimming were features of the evening.
 At the conclusion of the affair the following resolutions were adopted;
 Whereas, The Associated Credit
 Men of Birmingham, Ala. and
 each member present, in annual
 meeting assembled, this 18th day
 of June, 1921, being informed of
 the intended departure from our
 midst. of a man who has assidu-
 ously and untiringly worked for
 the upbuilding of our local as-
 sociation and for the betterment
 of credit conditions in this city
 and state; and
 Whereas, We realize that no
 organization Is stronger than the
 individuals composing 1t; and Whereas, Tn his leaving this
 city and state, we, as an organi-
 zation, and members individually assembled. feel that we are losing a strong and useful link in our
 chain of credit co corporations, as well as a good and faithful friend: that the faithful service
 rendered by him to this associa- tion has been instrumental in up-
 building our association, increas- ing it's membership, creating
 feeling of good fellowship and
 good will among It's members; and
 Whereas, Since he has served this association as It's president
 with credit to himself and the as-
 sociation, and in every other ca- pacity in which he has been called upon to serve, he has done so with faith, purpose and suc- cess; now, therefore. be 1t Resolved, That the Associated Retail Credit Men of Birming-

jitney became more active in It's competition. In our opinion this change in condition was not of suf- ficient gravity or of sufficient dura- ton to justify the receiver in hur- rying to the court with a petition for higher fares or in securing on the same day authority to proceed without convincing evidence of ef- forts toward extraordinary econo- mics and without any noticeable analysis of the current or passing ne- cessities thought sufficient to justi- fy that action.
 Now let us keep the fact clearly in mind that the great transporta- ton systems of this country have recognized that there IS @ point be- yond which higher rates become un- productive, and that they are prac- ticing economies probably without a parallel in their experience. Repre- sentatives of the substantial owner ship of these great properties have formulated a programme for still more intensive economies and for in tensive studies of the science of transportation, which they recognize as essential if private ownership is to survive. Wage reductions are be- ing horizontally extended from president to section hand as rapidly as agreements can be effected in fairness to the men; and the reduc- tions are to a material extent being cheerfully acquiesced in

 We do not believe that MT. Ross and MT. Pevear differ on the desira- bility of this action, except possibly in the respect that MT. Ross consid- CTS 1t absolutely indispensable.
