know what small towns are like, for
1 have been in them in Georgia and
Florida.
In a single year I have learned of
more evil in a small town than l
know of in city in two years. One
reason that there is less evil in a
city like New York than little town
because here there are SO many
things to engross the mind. In the
country young people have too much
time to play around In the light OF
full moons and get into trouble. The
crowds OF cities are not conductive
to sentiment"

my COUNTY MAY
IMPOSE ROAD TAX
: ON AUTOMOBILES
Court Also Holds That Person
Cannot Be Forced to
Work Road or Made
to Pay Fee
BY FRED HI. GORMLEY
Montgomery Bureau, The AKe-HeraId.
221-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, October 24.-(Spe-
eial 1.-The automobile license law of
1918 which provided a means for the
retirement of state highway bonds by
1svytng assessments against motor
cars and trucks did not take from
the counties the right TO levy special
county licenses against automobile
trucks which are operated on the
public highways. according to de-
cision of the court of appeals Tues
day afternoon rendered in a case
from Conecuh county.
The court of appeals held that the
counties had the same rights and
MOWERS under the Goode law OF 1915
as they had prior to the enactment
of the new law and that the imposi-
ton OF special license againet mo-
tor trucks by the counties was not
in violation of that provision of the
constitution which prohibits double
taxation. Decisions of the supreme
court of Alabama were quoted to
sustain the decision of the court of
appeals. Judge william III. Sanford
wrote the opinion which was con-
Cured in by Presiding Judge Charles
r. Bricken and Judge Henry p. Mer-
rift.
In the lower court a decision was
rendered against the county. the cir
cult court holding that G. r. Sim
mons could not be forced to pay a
special county license levied by the
court of county commissioners for
the privilege of operating his motor
truck on the public highways.
In another interesting case from
Walker county the court op appeals
held that the county highway com
mi ssion. which was created in 1913,
could not force person to work the
public roads or pay a fee in lieu OF
road work. The appellate court ruled
that the provision of d law enacted
prior to 1919 was not carried forward
in the law of 1919 which was passed
for the government of the construc-
ton and maintenance of public loads
and bridges of walker county
8. b. Kirkpatrick, who was ar
rested ON a charge or failing to work
the public roads or to pay fee in
lieu of road work, obtained his lib
erty on writ of habeas corpus Is
sued by the Walker circuit court
The court of appeals affirmed the de-
cision of the lower court.
However, the walker highway

make rules and regulations not In
consistent with the state laws and IL
