.LUCASLOOKSF FREIGHT RAIE CUT
 OF 10 PER CENT
Does Not Believe It Will Be Effective Before May l. Southern Carriers in a
 Friendly Attitude

A. g. Lucas. chairman of the Btr- mingham District Iron and Steel Manufactursrs' association, who gave testimony befare the interstate com merce commission last week in re- gard to freight rates on metal prod ucts out of Birmingham. expects for a 10 per cent reduction in freight rates in the south as result of the case being made out before the com mission.
 MT. Lucas saidi T believe the in- terstate commerce commission will grant freight rate reduction in the southern territory of about 10 per cent, one of about 1B per cent in the northern territory. Net result would be to reduce the last raise of 25 per cent to one of about 12h per cent.
 "Reduction will be greater In the northern territory, l believe, because the last advance In that territory was higher than that made in the south.
 q do not believe the reduction, if made, will be effective before May l, or even June 15. It takes time to go
 
 been submitted to the commission on the various commodities. I regard May as earliest date to look for any new rates to go In effect and would not be surprised if 1t was as late as June 15.
 Prior to appearing before the in- terstate commerce commission our southern iron and steel manufactur- CTS held rate conference with the executives of the trunk lines repre- sented In this district. We discussed he rate situation in its bearings on southern iron and steel and found the executives in receptive mood with regard to suggestion that they see what they can do over and above the consideration of the general rate sit nation and with special bearing on the interests from whom they draw ton nage."
 MT. Lucas presented the case of the pipe interests before the commission. The case of the iron interests was presented by c. A. Bryan of the Re- public Iron and Steel company.

JITNEY DRIVERS
 FEAR ORDINANCE

Regulations for the operation of jitneys in Birmingham will be most drastic in the new ordinance being prepared, according to ru- mors of Jitney drivers. One of the provisions of the new ordinance will be heavy bonds for the jft- neys, it is stated. md operators are of the opinion that such an ordinance will put the Jitneys out of business in Birmingham.
 Commissioners w. B. Cloe, while admitting thnt plans were under way for the new ordinance, de- cIined to discuss the provisions of it, declaring that 1t would be sub- mItted to the city commission as soon ms it was completed. In the meantime jitney operators are very much concerned over this new ordinance which they feel will tend to put them out of busf- ness.

hecomme endations of the commit ftee. composea-of D. c. Ball, chairman of the board; R. c. Osborne, trans- portation chief for the Birmingham Ice and Cold Storage company, and c. H. Hamilton. chief mechanician at the county garage at Ketona, will be made to the board at It's meeting this morning.
 Probability that tho report will be adverse to acceptance of the states offer loomed large yesterday, not withstanding silence of D. C. Ball, chairman of the committee, and his refusal to divulge in advance the na- ture Of the recommendations to be made. The chairman of the commit tee. while admitting that the report of the committee is already prepared and will be made to the board this morning. declined to discuss its na- ture In advance on the grounds that 10 oo so would not be fair to other members of the board, whom, he said he has not informed of the nature Of it's contents.
 Fight Predicted
 IT the recommendation of the com mittee is adverse to acceptance of the trucks, 1t is expected to bring on light between the factions of the board over whether the commit tees recommendation shall he adopted or not. As in many instances Tn the past. the board is expected to dlvide on the factional lines grow ing out Of the last board of revenue election and which have manifested themselves on number of Qukstions since. Fight for the acceptance of the trucks by the county and to over ride the recommendations of the com mittee, if adverse. Is expected to be led by Jerry Gwin, who has already announced himself as being in favor Of taking the trucks. He is expect ed to be seconded by Lacey Edmund son, who Is believed to be favorable to Gwln's ideas about the matter. On the other side twill probably be D. c. Ball, chairman of the board s.nA head of the committee which exam med the trucks. It Is likely that he will be supported by W. B. Copeland. What the attitude of Thomas F. Huey, the fifth member of the board. who, in case of the above line-up. will be the deciding factor in the case could not be learned. The three members of the board other than Gwin and Ball declined yesterday to say what their vote on the matter would be on the ground that they had not been informed what the report of the committee would be and did not know the nature of it's contents and, therefore, were not In a position to say what their attitude would be un- til the result of the committees in vestfgation was made known and the basis on which its recommendation were made were available in detail.

Denegre Company Will Ap- pear Before Board Today With Exact Figures
 and Data

Following a two-day inspection of state-owned Pierce-Arrow trucks at Montgomery by W c. Moran, truck sales manager of the Denegre Motor company, this firm will stand ready to bid to the county board of revenue in meeting this morning on the price to put the trucks in shape, which were recently offered to Jefferson county by the state highway commission.
 Mir. Moran. who returned last night from Montgomery, says that Jeffer- son county may have its pick of 2S from the 100 Fierce-Arrow trucks now owned by the state.
 The cost for these trucks to the county is s29s.So per truck. according to a letter from W. A. McCalla, prin- cipal assistant highway engineer. to the board. Tires would be s90 per truck instead of s20oA formerly re- ported as asked for the tires.
 The Denegre company, state agents for the Pierce-Arrow company, will make a bid to fit these trucks for county use, exclusive of a dump body. for a set sum Of s70o per truck inclusive of the cost to the county of the trucks.
 The trucks in question arc two-ton Pierce-Arrow trucks of standard type, which would use standard parts.
 Charles Denegre of the Denegre company states that there would be about s2,ooo saved on each truck if the bid of his company was accepted, estimating over s50,000 saved by the county. The company will also make a bid for upkeep if their offer Is ac- cepted.
 It is stated that the trucks have been run from 1000 to 10000 miles and that the life of this type of truck Is 100,0 ,000 miles.
 It Is also said that the state will sell the county parts for one-half the Pierce Arrow list.

 An interesting phase of this bust ness is that the Louisville and Nash vile and Southern railways receive a greater revenue by hauling to port than they would by participation with continental railroads in joint a1l-rail movements. In the case of these movements they get the entire rail haul, and that amounts to more than their allowance for part of the all- rail haul. Shippers present this as an instance of equal satisfaction on the part of rails and ships.

Wherever the Renuh.

 Mr Hughes, it will be remembered w8s Senator Newberry's attorney be- fore he Supreme Court of the United States He received q large fee for his services. Common report places 1t as high as $100O0O. or half as much as Newberry admitted had been spent previously in his contest Perhaps if the exact figure were known 1t might help further to explain why Mr. Hughes was willing to use the great office If Secretary of State for partisan political purposes to defend an ex. client, who. while escaping legal pun ishment, has been morally convicted in the court of public opinion. Even the Senators who voted to retain Sena- for Newberry in his seat voted at the same time for resolution which sOlemnly declared that the expendi. ture of such excessive sums in behalf of candidate, either with or without his knowledge and consent being con. trary to sound public policy, harmful to the honor and dignity of the Senate, and dangerous to the perpetuity Of free government. such excessive expen- ditures are hereby condemned and dis approved '

Arkansas, which has been emphasized for several years as almost at the bottom in the list of states edueationally, spending only S30O per capita for education
