 FOR USE AS AN ARM0RY

Washington, March 11.-(Special.) ) In the form of an amendment to an appropriation. bill, Senator Under wood put through the Senate this afternoon authority for the Secretary of the Treasury to lease the old post office building in Birmin gham to the adjutant general of Alabama for use as an armory for the National Guard.
 The bill carrying the authority had already passed the House. The Un- derNood amendment will not be as- sailed in conference, it is believed, and it will therefore be effective in the very near future

JOHNSTON APPEARS INTERSTATE
 COMMERCE BOARD
Urges Commission to Deal Generously With Railroads in Fixing Rate of Return
 on Property

Washington, March l1.-tSpeeial) Forney Johnston of Birmingham, counsel for the National Association of owners of Railroad securities, urged the interstate commerce com mission today to deal generously with railroads In fixing a. definite rate of return on the value of prop erty to take the place of the ratio of per cent, which expired March 1.
 MT. Johnston declared the obliga tion of the commission to prescribe a definite rate of return was distinct from the subsequent obligation of the commi ssion to adjust rates from time to time in effort to produce the de- clared rate of return. In determining the base rate he urged the commits sion not to be influenced by the fact that for the time being the return to the carriers on the actual value of their investment is materially below 6 per cent. He stated that whatever ratio might be fixed by the commis sion as result of the present in- quiry would be likely to endure for several years, as it is beyond the physical capacity of the commission to have repeated prolonged hearings involving changes in the rate of re- turn.
 Existing Conditions
 "If accordingly" saM MT. Johnston, the commi ssion were to feel that in establis shing the rate of return its discretion should be influenced by existing adverse conditions, that re- suit would not be accomplished, which is clearly contemplated by the statute: that Is, the ascertainment and making public of rate of return which the railroads are entitled to receive in order to survive on wholesome basis.
 'In like manner. the commission should not regard its obligation to establish this rate of return as If it were sitting as court to determine the lowest rate of return which would avoid the charge of confisca- ton. To look upon the transporta- ton act as merely restating the old constitutional limitations against confiseatioD would be to lose sight of the underlying purpose of the only affirmative remedial legislation which has been adopted by Congress since the era of regulation began"

nr MIGNnN HAIL.

The League of Women Voters ls delighted that so many people are in- terested and anxious to get clear understanding of the two bids for Muscle Shoals--those of Henry Ford and the Alabama Power company.
 There must be two sides to every question, and certainly both sides should be carefully weighed in a matter which concerns the interest of our entire state and indeed the na- ton,
 This s what Mrs. Richard John ston. president of the league, has to say about the coming debate on Muscle Shoals Tuesday afternoon, when Representative w, B. oliver will present Henry Fords bid for the shoals, and will be answered by Hon. Logan Martin, former attorney neral of the state.
 Mrs. Johnston sets forth
 The tentative program has given way to our official plan for the de- bate, which changes somewhat the length of time we allowed the~speak- CTS at first
 official Program
 So here goes;
 Congressman Oliver will open the Ferd side of the occasion with an ad- dress of 30 minutes. MT. Martin, for the Alabama Power company, will follow right away with an address or 30 minutes. Then MT. Oliver will be given 15 minutes in rebuttai, to be answered in another 15 minutes by Mir. Martin. After this, 10 minutes will be allowed for the league mem bers to fire questions at both mem bers on points they still are in doubt about.
 While the league, primarily, is put ting on the spirited affair for the benefit of the women of this city, equally as many men are expected to attend as women. And, laughed Mrs. Johnston:
 Back Home Carriage
 Every woman present is expected to go home and tell her husband the fine points of the arguments"
 Mrs. Johnston iB particularly anx- ious to stress the fact that the af- fair Is to be dignified interpreta- ton of both sides of the Muscle Shoals question. and that the debate Is not being put on with any desire to be flemboyant.
 Its purpose is educative," she OK plained, "Rnd is part of our pro- gram of education for ourselves and everybody in general.
 Tt has been a rule of the League of Women Voters to carefully con- sider and study questions of public moment. We have taken the lead before in educational matters, and in- vited the public to be our guest, In tLis case we not only invite, but urge the public and women especial

 AnurecIate Service

 r. to come to our meeting and learn the important points in both bids.
 Appreciate Service
 We deeply appreciate that two or our busiest and brsiniest statesmen have consented to give us their time tor this meetins Both MT. Oliver and Mir Martin deserve thou5httul hearing and careful consideration oi as many people as can be gathered together with impartial minds, sense of justice to both, and the de sire that, in the final act of our con gtess, the best will be done which will be for the greatest good to the greatest number of persons
 Mrs Johnston said that while an effort has been made to get more spacious auditorium than the Hill man hotel affords, this has not been possible, and the meeting therefore, will be held there. However, the Hillmsn auditorium will seat several hundred persons. and, it is hoped will be adequate. Standing room also will be possible.
 Speaking of the debate in general, and it's meaning from q citineaship standpoint, Mrs, Johnston said those very thoughtful things. They show whether or not women are taking their responsibilities seriously. She related;
 Serious Aspect
 We women have realized that we are new in the affairs of citizenship, and while 1t used to be said that women would be governed by the heart instead of the head, 1 think the public is coming to realize we are studious and thoughtful about conditions which confront us as true citizens.
 Tho League of Women Voters is non-partisan body, and as such we feel that we should not take sides in any controversy until we are thor oughly familiar with both aspects or the case. In the matter of the Mus cle Shoals bid, we have reserved any decision until We may thoroughly un- derstand both bids.
 Congress Considering
 we feel that naturally both have merits or Congress would not have delayed action in regard to the mat ter. I feel that both bids must be lacking in some details, or some dis position of Muscles Shoals would not have been delayed so long. A defini- ton from representatives of both sides next Tuesday afternoon we feel is aivinE both a just hearing, and that we will be better informed on subject so large that it Is attracting the attention of the whole nation, ana of too great import to the state of Alabama for us to form nasty judg ment."
