IN MEMoRIAM.

In sad, but loving memory OF my
dear mother, ANN COLBERT. who
departed this life IL years ago, 1906.
No one knows how much We miss you;
No one knows the tears we shed;
Though in heaven we hope TO meet you,
Where no farewell words are said.
Sixteen sad and dreary years,
Since we we're forced to part,
But the memory OF you, dear mother,
Still is fresh within or hearts.
Every day brings back sweetmemorles;
Every memory brings a tear;
Deep within our hearts we cherish
Thooghis Of the one we loved so dear.
Always remembered by her loving
daughter,
(Mrs. } JENNIE SHEIRBuRN.

MAKE GOVERNOR RESPONSIBLE

Neither the house nor the senate should hesitate or delay over the final decision on the measure amending the highway commission act. It is of foremost importance that the present unwieldy and inefficient commission be replaced by smaller body of cap able men. Both senate and house agree that the proper number is three. Very well; let both bodies decide upon three and then place upon the gov ernor of Alabama the responsibility of finding three competent men to ad- minister this highly important office.
 The plan providing for the legisla- ture to choose three of nine nominated by the governor is for the governor to escape his proper responsibility and for the selection to be delayed and con- fused by political issues. Let that amendment be at once rejected, and let the governor be instructed to ap- point men of respectable business rec ord, regardless of political promises CT affiliations.
 When the governor took the oath of office he made thereby pledge to the people of Alabama which outweighs any possible private pledge he may have made to individuals. It is the governors solemn obligation to fill the offices of public trust with men of capacity, experience and integrity. There is no surer way for a man to build political appeal than to found it upon the public confidence and re- spect. There are not nine men to be picked upon around the capitol fit for the responsible office of highway com mission. Capable men do not loaf around waiting for political jobs. Let the governor search Alabama for three men of the requisite qualifications. who will be able to respond to his call, and If he finds them he will be doing well and serving the state as it should be served.
 First, however, the legislature must enact the measure providing for the small commission appointed by the governor. Everywhere there is con demnation of the manner in which the highways are handled. If the legisla- ture fails to perform this act, it will have continued in jeopardy all the highway hopes of this state which have rested upon proper administration of the highway funds devoted, to roads properly built and adequately main tained. Will the legislature, in this crisis, hesitate over political quibble? !?

THE MIGRATION A BLuNpER

According to surveys made by well fare workers in Chicago the negro problem in that city arising from the thousands of Southern negroes who have come in has become serious. It is reported through these surveys that the tide of negro migration which started during the World War, and re- gently reached it's height, carried more than twenty-five thousand ne groes to Chicago alone since the first of this year, and negroes are arriving in that city at the rate of three thor sand a month. Other cities in that section have received large numbers, and there seems to be no sign of de. crease in the movement. Investigation shows that most of these negroes by their own admission were actuated ir their move by two considerations-be lief that they would be paid higher wages and hope for better social con ditions.
 Most of them have been disap- pointed because jobs are less numer-

LET THE CITY COLLECT

Trips to Montgomery by members of the city commission in efforts to obtain special legislative action, and published communications in attempts to shift blame upon the county board of revenue for failure during three years to pay the city its share of the fifteen per cent. road tax, now amounting to $216,0o0, present an ab- surd situation. It is not surprising that the legislature should manifest no interest in the matter. This money is morally and legally due the city by the county. The city's contention is fully supported by law, including n ruling by the supreme court. What more could the commission ask or ex- pect? The obligation to collect the money lies directly with the commis- sion, and the blame for failure is placed where 1t belongs accordingly. There is no escape. If the commission has failed to collect the amount due, it is because the commission has not taken the plain steps necessary to ob- tain the money. With full warrant of law, the commission can find no refuge in excuses or apologies, of both of which the people are already weary Let the commission collect this money or bear the full blame for failure to do so

CERTAIN RESULTS
 OF TAX-DODGING
(Anniston Star)

The tax-dodgers have had their way. For equality of taxation InJ.o has been substituted taxation by volutary contribution" and that means that the big fellow with his auditors and experts-the land baron, the coal king, the captain of finance, etc.,-will contribute" far less proportionately than the little fellow, whose farm mort gage and commercial paper it Is now proposed to tax to make up for the deficit created by wealthy dodgers who have secured politi- cal office and influence to work their willy will. And what does all this mean? It means that just as the sun was recently eclipsed by the moon, so will Alabama be eclipsed by the more progressive states of the Union for the next four years. It means that the son of the farmer who voted for Plain BilI' and his legislature will have to continue to sit on a plain bench in plain school room and be taught merely the rudi- ments of an education by a plain schoolmarm, who is plainly un- derpaid; while the boys and girls of the more progressive states will forge ahead in knowledge and riches and eventually come here to appropriate the God given resources of Alabama which we should develop for ourselves. Yea, 1t means more than that It means that we must stop sending corpo- ration officers and suborned poli- ticians who have selfish interest to serve to sit in our legislative bodies; and that hereafter when we elect a governor to handle our business affairs we must elect business men of the Kilby and Conner type, big men with big brains, broad visions and unbend- ing backbone, men of moral cour- age and undisputed integrity. Unless that Is done the outside world will continue to make to us this toast: Alabama, here we rest-in ignorance, in poverty and in distress"
