The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1922-12-07

"Voters of Alabama should feel
proud of the success attained by
NJ, E. Morris, Jefferson county reg
istrar, in securing the public demon
strations of voting machines, which
will be given at an early date by
representatives Of manufacturers of
these machines" said Fred Fite, at
torney and newly elected represen-
tative for Jefferson county. 1.-THE
success which has accompanied the
use Of these machines in other
states indicates that they will
soon be in general use. With the
installation of voting machines
complete returns Of an election
could be given to the press within
an hour after the close of the
voting day. There would also be a
great saving in expense of cleo
tions."

The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1922-12-07

From the Troy messenger.
In coming to the south to insist
on prohibition enforcement and to
confer with officials, Alabama is
one of the first states to be Wis
tied by Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes. He has just spoken in
birmingham. The people of Ala
bama stand for prohibition enforce
ment and for the prohibition laws.
The fault comes likely in too many
of Alabama's good people not be-
stirring themselves to back up these
laws, while the lawless element In
that regard has used every effort to
ply the nefarious traffic, either in
making, selling, or purchasing the
illicit booze. Alabama would never
entertain the remotest idea of re-
pealing her prohibition laws.

Legal Advice for County Officials

From the Gadsden journal.
The next legislature will be asked
to enact legislation requiring the
attorney general of the state to rem
der opinions to county officials on
matters involving the expenditure
of county funds. Situations arise
frequently in which county officials,
especially county commissioners,
do not know if they were within
the law in paying certain bills from
certain funds, or in making certain
appropriations. Often they have
gone ahead, acting in good faith
and disbursing county funds, only
to find some months or years later,
that a state examiner has ruled
against them and that they did
wrong. This. of course, forces the
county to charge back to the Of
ficial the amount illegally expend-
ed. Although not versed in law,
the county officials are presumed
to know the law involving the hand
ling of county funds. Since they
do not, and since it is almost i'm
possible for them to pass on all
these financial questions, it would
be well for the attorney generals
office to be placed at the service Of
the county officials. Then there
would be no excuse for mistakes.
