maintenance of highways, in case the highway amendment is adopted January 30. This show ing does away with any possible argument that might be made against the amendment.
 Receipts from the motor vehicle tax for the year ending September 30 were $1 ,147 ,265, of which the state received for road purposes $917,s12. During the preceding fiscal year the total receipts were $1,OO1 ,245, and the state received for roads $s32,98O.
 The two years show the increase in revenue from the motor vehicle tax. This revenue will be greater and greater each year. Each stretch of good road means more vehicles and more mo- tor vehicles mean greater revenue for building and maintaining highways.
 The Age-Herald reiterates it's conviction that the size of the majority for the amendment is all that is involved and believes it will be greater than two years ago, when it was a sweeping victory for the amendment, as we'll as clear cut vindcation of the intelligence of the people of Alabama.

SOUTH SHOULD HAVE MAN ON
 COMMERCE COMMISSION

The claim cannot be disputed with justice that the south should have representation on the in- terstate commerce commission. It is of suffi- cient importance territorially, commercially, agriculturally and industrially to demand that intelligent consideration of the com mission which cannot be accorded it unless some one on that board is acquainted with the needs and wishes of the southern people with respect to their traffic and transportation in- terests.
 Senator Trammell of Florida has introduced a bill providing for representation on the com mission of each of 10 sections of the country. Whether this bill is adopted or other provision is made for district representation, it is mani festly unfair for the south to have no direct voice on the commission, no friend there in road problems.
 It is not question of whether members from other states are fairmnded and intend to be just to the south as well as the sections from which they hail. Necessarily they cannot act promptly and justly when they know little of the outstanding conditions and wants of the south.
 One out of the 10 members of the commis- sion is a modest request from the south when it's relative importance in the nation is con- sidered.

coMMENDs WORK OF DR. RABE

q want to commend the splendid work done by Dr. Edith Rabe of the United States public health service, who has been in Birmingham since last May in the interest of this work" said Mrs. W. D. Nesbitt. "She has been untiring in her efforts in behalf of health work and the con- trol of social diseases, and it was largely through her efforts that the people were given the facts regarding the detention hospital and the free clinic.
 Vigorous protests have been made against the closing of the isolation hospital, and the pub lie has come to realize the necessity of continu- ing the work of this institution. The Axis club, at it's meeting yesterday, unanimously indorsed the work done by Dr. Rabe and instructed the secretary to write her letter informing her of this action"

REPORTED THAT FORD'S OFFER
 WILL BE ACCEPTED

The Dance of Death
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
 Our cables from Moscow would furnish Hans Holbein with subject for another picture in his Dance of Death procession. They first de- scribe scene in a Moscow cafe, on the eve of the new year. It is one of splendor and lavish ness-jewels, silks and satins, champagne at 10,000,000 rubles bottle, rich food Emaciated communism peers in at the Bourgeois window, and grinning death waits at the door, just in the next column, pointing to the frozen bodies stacked high, awaiting burial" victims of fam inc, exposure and typhus. The American re- lief workers speak of five millions as low es- innate of the number who will probably perish this winter in the famine area alone. And ty- phus is following the fleeing multitudes into the cities, even to Moscow.
 This "macabre" picture is not frightened by the new year eve lavish glow in the Empire cafe Outside, according to the Associated Press, re- port, Russia, entering upon the new year, faces "eight months of unspeakable horror" and the terrible dread that next summers crop may only slightly relieve the gnawing famine" And if one turns from the famine reports to the ar tice on Manufacturing in Russia," in the cru- rent Atlantic, by MT. Keely, an American engi- neer, in the hope that, after all, this darkness is but premonitory of dawn, one must conclude that it is not yet midnight.
 MT. Keely Cornell graduate in engineering, was for two years in Russia, and before his imprisonment (for no other reason, it would seem, than for speaking frankly and honestly about what he saw) had exceptional opportuni- ties to become acquainted with basic conditions in industry. The predatory statement of his article is that in his two years acquaintance with Russia (from the fall of 1919 to the fall of 1921) 'there has not been the slightest im- provement" On the other hand, he finds that destruction has gone steadily on." And he reaches the conclusion that "all of Russia is in danger of death by starvation mot, it is to be inferred, because of the "hand of God" for he does not speak of the famine which came upon the Volga shortly before his leaving Russia, but because the hand of man has lost it's initiative, it's incentive to continuous, productive labor, its own kill, or it's industrious obedience to the

A MINISTER'S IDEA OF TRUE CHRISTIANITY

At time when there is so much foolish agi- tation against amusements that are harmless in themselves, and so many abortive attempts are being made to legislate morality into people and place puritanical restriction on their personal habits, it is gratifying to know that here and there are broad-minded preachers who do not believe that the sum total of religion is "Thou shalt not"
 In his recent debate with Dr. W. c. Henry on Sunday amusements, Dr. Middleton S. Barn. well delivered sermon in single paragraph that should be read and taken to heart by every misguided zealot in the country. Dr. Barnwell said:
 I think if the churches were less interested in
 laws and more interested in life; think if they
 time to the unders landing of souls
 that they seeking to save; think if they left
 their Mosaic codes and went down the streets with
 sympathy for the heart that beats tired; l
 think that if less time to the vain
 tempt to shape all men by one pattern and time to the saving of human beings. we would in
 deed be following the footsteps of Savior and
 practcing the true doctrine of Christianity
 Those honorable city commissioners who pro- pose that there shall be no municipal dance hall at East Lake, and in particular Commissioner Dickson, who is reported to favor movement that will make it impossible for anybody in Bir- mingham to dance except those who have wealth and social position should read Dr. Barnwel's words with prayerfu consideration.

skill of others. There has been no appre- ciable production, he says, in four years of farm tools, seed grain, clothing, horses, harness and stock. The precautionary supply of these things and of transport, factory equipment as well as of precious things, is disappearing, and now Starvation and nakedness are inevitable"
 Yet the humane spirit of the peoples of the earth will not permit these sufferers from their own fantastic system and from famine to await the "inevitable hour," There will be food in such measure as we can supply it, and medi- cine and clothing and care of the children until the eight dread months are over.

UNRELIABLE

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 The railroad official invited the stern citizen to communicate his troubles.
 'T want you to give orders," demanded the visitor, "that the engineer of the express which passes through Elm Grove at Ii :55 be re- strained from blowing his whistle Sunday morn- ings.
 "Impossiblev' exploded the official. "What prompts you to make such a ridiculous quest?'
 "Well, you see," explained the citizen in an undertone, four pastor breaches until he hears the whistle blow and that confounded express was 20 minutes late last Sunday"

LACK OF HOSPITAL FACILITIES CLAIMS ANOTHER VICTIM

A few hours after being refused admittance to the Hillman hospital, young man who was weak from hunger and illness died in front of the Terminal station. Although it is said he had no discharge papers, he claimed to be war veteran. American Legion officials who inter- ested themselves in his behalf could not get him into the only charity hospital have because that institution is already crowded
 ;. Surely Birmingham and Jefferson county will not continue to let such unfortunates die in the streets to save few paltry dollars in maintain ing a charity hospital which will never have to turn people away from its doors, with the hand of death upon them, because there is nowhere to put them, not a bed or even cot. Such cases as this, of young who probably served his country as he claimed to have done, and an older man, who was refused admittance after falling in the street, are deplorable and Reflection on the city.
 The county board of revenue, probably as result of agitation in the newspapers yesterday increased the appropriation for the Hillman hos pital $1,000 month. That will still leave the appropriation for this year $24,000 under the appropriation of last year, although it is admit ted that the hospital facilities are woefully in adequate for the work it is called upon to do.

DIDN'T GO TOGETHER

A Birmingham man went into a restaurant recently and ordered decidedly plebeian dish -to-wit, calf's liver and onions. As he was eat- ing with good appetite and clear conscience, it occurred to him that he would like to hear his favorite piece of music, so he called his waiter and sent request to the pianist, who was industriousy pounding out jazz in one cor ner of the establishment, to play Schubert's serenade.
 The musician had barely started to play the selection asked for when the guest noticed that his waiter and Several other walters seemed to be vastly amused about something. Reckoning his waiter, he asked, What's the joke?" The waiter looked embarrassed, and hesitated, but finally said, with grin and in broken Eng fish, "The gentleman eats calf's liver and en- joys Schubert"

LETTERS TO EDITOR
THE ROAD BOND AMENDMENT
e Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 As regular reader of your paper, I take the liberty of asking you to allow space to give briefly true analysis of the good roads pro- gram just now confronting the people of Ala bama No sane person would oppose the con- struction of system of good roads, such as suggested in this proposed $25,000,000 bond amendment provided it can be shown that the proposition is sound and that the roads could really be constructed as proposed.
 The writer is an advocate of good roads and realizes that they cost money, but question the wisdom of this $25 ,000 900 bond amend ment, and we do not how anyone could be so stupid to fall into the error of supporting this proposition that on it's face shows such un- mistakable signs of being predominated by pol itics and special interest. And proposition, too, that it's proponents dare not put fairly and squarely before the voters
 We propose to show that the proposition is unsound, and that the people of Alabama are be- ing msled. We do not mean this as criticism of the newspaper supporting this measure, for perhaps they, too, have been misled> For we feel and know that no reputable newspaper of Alabama would knowingly support any move ment scheme that would not bear, and in fact, court the fullest light and publicity For this reason we invite the closest study and con- sideration of the following phases of this ques- tion:
 1. We claim the proposition is unsound from the fact that it is spasmodic only. For, after the expenditure of $25, 100000, say in 10 years, we would have to abandon road construction and road maintenance altogether for period of 40 years, until these bonds are retired, or else | of the fact the act itself pledges all of our automo- bile lecense Gas we'll as the faith and credit and all resources of the state), for the redemption of these bonds. Hence, we would have no funds available to continue road work.
 2. The proposition is unsound from the, fact that this $25 ,00O, ,O00 would not construct one twentieth part of such system of roads as is proposed in this scheme, and as the people are led to believe they were to get.
 As an extra inducement the people are told by the proponents of this measure that the fed eral government matches our appropriation dol lar for dollar When they know or should know that under the new federal aid act it is specifi- cally set out that federal aid shall not be used on over per cent of our entire road mileage system and that three-sevenths of this shall be used on interstate (toursts) roads, and the re- maining four-sevenths of this original per cent must be used on inter-county (courthouss to courthouse) roads. Leaving not dollar to be expended on ntra-county, or the so-called farmers roads. Then, pray tell me, where is the inducement to the farmer to vote this debt upon his posterty for generations yet unborn?
 Another inconsistency is shown in the fact, as will be recalled that the scheme is to sell this entire bond issue in 10 to IF years, and that

Hill, who has charge of the station here. "These courses given the men free by the govern ment, and are open to all members of the ma rins, including reserve and retired members.

WHEN A MINOR ISSUE
 BECOMES IMPORTANT

In his remarks to the city commission yes terday President McLendon, speaking on the subject of dancing at East Lake, is quoted by an Age-Herald reporter as saying:
 don't how take up time to make
 fight for such thing when need an audi
 torium. market and many things. It looks
 foolish to create feeling among the people referendum election at this time
 l had hoped that this matter would come to
 this point.
 There is nothing more important than setting ourselves right in the eyes of the world. It is due our self-respect to find whether the peo- pie of Birmingham actually approve course which draws class distinctions and puts this city on record permitting the well-to-do young people to enjoy harmless dancing while depriv- ing less fortunate young people of such diver sion at Pershing pier.
 What is the use of building an auditorium or a market or anything else until it is settled once for all and definitely that this city will in it's amusements or its daily life?
 If three of our city commissioners think they are going to stop the young people of Birming- ham from dancing, the sooner the people of this city convince them to the contrary the bet ter for all concerned
 It is unfortunate that so drastic method as a referendum election is necessary to con- vince these commissioners, but if it is neces- sary that they be convinced in this manner, |. should be done quickly. If they think the,r personal opinions on matters of this kind are

FAvoRs SUNDAY RECREATION

"In his talk Monday before the members of the Axis club Dr. w. G. Henry, pastor of the Eleventh Avenue Methodist church, stated that the American Federation of Labor went on rec ord as desiring the Sabbath as day of rest and worship" said William L. Harrison, com- missioner of parks and playgrounds. "The fed eration did go on record as being opposed to working on Sunday, but favored that day as one for rest worship and recreation. That is truly the only day they have for amusements and rest and do not believe they meant that they would oppose any recreation on Sundays
