Chamber Comments
 Barge Line Seruice of

 Whereas, Henry T. DeBardeleben has retired from the public serv- ice as transportation manager of the Warrior river division of the Mississippi- Warrior barge line 10 de- vote his time to private business, and
 Whereas, his broad vision and un- Tagging energy have contributed in a great measure to the realization of the Warrior river project and it's pioneer development, and
 Whereas, his wise guidance, con- structive and efficient management of the Warrior river division. as transportation manager, has result ed in placing the service on basis where it is now proving of incal- culable benefit to the various in- dustries and the shipping public of this district.
 Therefore, be 1t resolved, that the board of directors of the Birming- ham Chamber of Commerce, in rec ognition of MT. DeBardeleben's un- selfish devotion to the public in- terest, extend to him on behalf of this organization. it's grateful ap- preciation of his splendid service and expresses it's profound egret at his retirement.

me I was under arrest, and without giving me chance to explain, searched me and subjected rae by his ruffianly treatment to much humiliation. When I protested ne volunteered the information that the woman's word would be taken in any court betore mine. told him I was ready to face the woman any where, but did not propose to be blackmafled and that I was ready to go anywhere with him.
 At this the woman and her ai- legged husband disappeared in the crowd and left the station. I asked the officer what he intended to do and he then looked around as If looking for the woman and said If she had gone he reckoned he would have to turn me loose, and with tha. he walked off.
 Quite a number of gentlemen who were in the station and saw the discourteous and ruffianly conduc. of the officer came to me and ex- pressed their indignation of the pro- ceeding, among them deputy sher- if, who gaye his name and certain information concerning the couple, that I shall use at the proper time. Several gentlemen also gave me their names as witnesses to the out rage.

H. U. Sims. candidate for state senator from Jefferson county, main tains there is no outstanding issue in the present campaign except for the voters to decide which candidate is most likely to make the best sen ator for all classes of citizens.
 MT. Sims thinks the people should have the right to change the form of their city government when ma jority thinks best Discussing ths senatorial campaign yesterday MT. Sims said:
 Considerable effort is being made by some of the candidates for sta te senator from Jefferson count to ere ate issues by announcing in flaming advertisements their advocacy of this or that more or less popular idea for legislation which they try to ap- propriate as their own, when as matter of fact everybody knows there is no important question in the campaign for the voters to decide but the question which of the four candidates is most likely to make the best senator for all classes of oar citizens.
 'All of us' advocate more syste- matic taxation methods, the aboii- ton of all exemptions which can be honestly cancelled, as great an ex- tension of the school system as the public revenue can afford, the grant ing to the people the right to de- eide what their local government shall be, and good civil service law which will prevent public employees from being busted without good cause. I say these are clearly not Issues, but merely constructive laws which every good senator would de- sire and no good man could oppose.

Sims Favors Giving Voters Chance to Pass on Form of City Government and Outlines Some Things Any
 Good Senator. Would Advocate

Interest seems to have shifted several times during this campaign from one desired reform to another, and now toward the close 1t seems to be centered chiefly on our form of municipal government. and whether we should change 1t. ~
 of course, the public is likely to visit upon the form of government the mistakes of the administrators in charge of it. But critics say that mu- nicipal government is the one field in which Americans have never been very successful. So 1t Is not surpris- ing that many of our people are be- gfnnfns to be dissatisfied with our conn ssion form of government as pot representative enough, and are urging the adoption of some other.
 'eThe form of city government
 under which we are to live bears
 about the same relation to us ms
 our state consultation. So
 think the people should have the
 right to change 1t whenever a
 majority think best, provided of
 course the change js so made ns
 not to disrupt orderly adminis-
 tration. Therefore, if ann
 elected to the senate I shall sd-
 vocnte letting our people vote
 upon whether our form of city
 government shall he changed,
 and shall try to provide system
 of statutes establishing whatever form of city government the peo-
 pie in referendum shall show to he their choice.
