ALABAMA Schools
HELD Up As Model
At. AUBURN MEET

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 12.-Nont-
gomery county, Alabama, schools
were extolled and made a naticna.
model for other states with rural
school problems, by Zebu!on Judd,
dean of the school of education at
Alabama Polytechnic institute, at
Auburn, Ala, speaking today before
the Nebraska State Teachers asGc.
citation.
Montgomery county's transforma-
ton had been achieved in the last
five years, DR.. Judd said, and fol
lowed enactment by the Alabama
legislature in 1915 of naw school
laws.
Among the most significant of
these laws were the county-urit
scboo administration act, the pro-
posed amendment to the constitu-
ton, which has just been ratified by
the people, and the provision fer a
professional basis for the certifica-
ton of teachers, he said.
Forty-seven schools, housed most
ly in dilapidated buildings, aban-
doned churches and stores, in five
years have been succeeded oy fiji
teen modern one-story type build
lngS constructed with the most in
telligent and scrupulous regard for
every school need equipped with
| auditoriums, libraries, stages, pianos,
thirty-two motor busses to trans
port pupils, a complete system of
instruction and with ninety-six
teachers properly trained and com
petent. Buildings, motor trucks
and equipment represent an outlay
of $3.50, O00," he said.
The old system of local school
administration was succeeded by
the county unit system with n
county board, whose members serve
without pay, the speaker said.
Under the teachers certification act
the state board of education has
ruled that three-fourths of all
teachers in public four-year high
schools must be graduates of stand
ard colleges and under the runsti-
| tutional amendment of 1915 the fl
nancial burden of a three-miIl state
tax, three-mill county tax and a
| three-min municipal, school, or dis.
trict tax has been equalized.

Bituninous Coal
Price Agreement
Believed Reached

WASHINGTON, Oct. I2.-Ar
agreement which is expected to re
suit in fixing the maximum price
of anthracite mined by ''independ
emit" operators at 1925 per ton al
the mines has been reached between
the Pennsylvania authorities and
Fuel Distributor Spens, represent.
ing the federal government.
The agreement, announced here to,
cay by w. d. p. Ainey, chairman OF
the Pennsylvania fuel commission,
Is regarded by officials as assuring
immediate reductions in the hard
coal prices now charged by indie
pendent operators controlling twenty
per cent Of the output, thus remov-
ing rate discrepancy that has been
the cause of complaint in all con
Stunning territories.
Chairman Ainey with Mr.. Spens
ana with Eugene G. FELTON,, repre-
senting the fair-practices committee
in the anthracite industry, reported
the agreement at conferences held
last night and today.
The largest part of the production
of anthracite, an amount estimated
by officials at 20 per cent or more of
the total, comes from a group of
large mines which are now charg
ing from So to 1885 per ton, while
some of the Independent operators
lave been charging up above $12
per ton. The arrangement by which
the price will be held down to 1925.
is described an indirect one, but it
is said to be probable that mine own
erS who refuse to abide hv the lie
cis.on will have their operations re-
stricted by use of the governments
power to regulate transportation.

GEORGIA INC0IVI!: TAX
RETURNS III 1927
LEAD SOUTHEAST

Evidencing significantly the gen.
orally improved financial condition
in Georgia as compared with other
states in this territory, figures made
public Thursday by Josiah T. Rose,
collector of internal revenue for this
district, shows that Georgia in 1921
reported a larger number of individ-
ual income tax returns and a larger
gross total on such returns than any
other state in the southeast.
~ This showing is made despite the
unusual fact that six counties in the
state reported less than two in
dividual tax returns. They were
Baker county and Milton county,
with two; Heard county and Towns
county with one; Union county did
not report a single income large
enough to justify tax return.
The total number of personal re-
turns reported in the state of Geor-
gia, were 1895, representing 1.01
per cent of the total number of re-
turns filed in the United States.
These returns covered incomes
amounting to a total of $22S,619,716,
which amount represented SO per
cent of the total net personal in
comes in the United States.
Alabama came next with 52,9S4 re-
turns, representing .73 per cent Of
the total for the county and total
net personal incomes amounting to
$155,604,933, or Sc per cent of the
total for the United States.
North Carolina and Florida were
about neck and neck for third place.
QA0
or .65 per cent of the country's to-
tai against 22,210 returns for the
latter, of .5S per cent of the grand
total. Total gross incomes in North
Carolina amounted to $163,799, 1897, Of
SO per cent of the country's total,
while Florida amounted to $141 ,105,-
124, or SO per cent Of the country'S
total.
South Carolina reported 1904 in
dividual returns, of AS per cent of
the total of the United States, rep
1esenting incomes of $109,246, $50 or
.46 per cent of the country's total.
Mississippi is the East of the six
states listed with 28,022 individual
returns, or .39 per cent of the to-
tai, and the net income amounting
to $S3,954,352, or SO per cent of the
country's total.
An analysis of the figures for
Georgia show that Fulton county
leads the state with 27,S20 individual
returns, and that Atlanta shows the
largest number Of individual of such
returns of any other city in the
state with 26,630.
The four other leading counties
and county seats areas follows:
Chatham county, 1854; Savannah,
1907; Bibb county, 1854; Macon, A..
767; Richmond, 4,232; Augusta,
APIS.
Mr.. Rose expressed himself as
highly pleased with the report for
1921. He stated that it showed a
marked Improvement over the re-
port for previous years and that
every indication pointed an even
more encouraging report for 1922.

ker men had better watch-some
slick political ducks are playing
around you"
Mr.. Wright said the George sup
porters were spreading the propa-
ganda that "Seab Wright's all right
but he hasn't a chance to Win-we
must get behind George if we want
to beat Iardwick." He said he had
the utmost contempt for this method
Of campaigning.
A scathing denunciation Of profess
sional lobbying was delivered by the
candidate. He said no internal lob
byist will whisper in my ear and get
awaya with it,
Mr.. Wright asked il the political
"fixers" knew how Judge George
voted in the race for governor. He
said he had been told by persons who
would be believed that the judge
voted for Governor Hardwick.
ooh, what goat that gang made
Of Gloomy Gus Howard" he laughed.
Mr.. Wright said "the Howell, Dor
sey and Holloman crowd make a
real menagerie-the best circus ]
ever saw"
Judge Georges statement publish
ed Wednesday, advocating the re-
organization or abolition of the rail-
way labor board, was sharply at
tackled by Mr.. Wright as "a vote.
catching scheme"
Judge George promises 70 be fair
to the railways to the employees and
to the men," he declared. "He's
getting to be an omnibus candidate,
reaching out in all directions"
MY. =" T-ichf sold ha ~
"speak out in meeting throughout
the campaign" He expressed the
belief that he would have more in
formation on "the political gang
sters" from day to day.
II promise to give it all to you,
folks" he said.
Mr.. Wright predicted that il Gov
ernor Hardwick and Judge George
staged a run-off primary. lizard
wick would win, because the fellow
doesn't dodge much" He added,
however, that such run-off would
never happen, for I'll win on the
first ballot"
Concluding, Mr.. Wright declared
his position on the League Of Ma
tons and the present immigration
laws.
Foreign Policy.
My deliberate Judgement" he
said, lis that, with few exceptions,
the people Of Europe are not capa-
BILE of enlightenment. I am against
policing the nations Of Europe with
American soldiers or American dol
lars. am unwilling to see any more
OF our boys come staggering home
from Europe, blind, manned, helpless.
Let the people across the sea
beat their swords into plow stocks
then maybe they'll get somewhere.
"Our immigration laws are cow
| ardly and dastardly, and until every
man in America has a job, I am OBJ
posed to letting single foreigner
| land on our shores. The people OF
Europe ought to stay home and go
to work.
Mr.. Wright said he had no apology
to make for the lead he took, years
ago, in the fight to drive liquor out
of Georgia. He asserted he would
fight vigorously any attempt to
weaken the present prohibition laws.
Mr.. Wright speaks in Atlanta
