Measure Drawn By w. C. Davis Of Jasper Fixes Defi-

 From 49 Counties Coming
STATE CAPITAL BUREAT l
 THE AGE-HERALD ! Montgomery. Ala, July Is

Abolition of the convict lease sys- tenn on a specified date during the administration of Governor Brandon will be proposed by bill which will be introduced in the legislature be- fore the end of the week, probably Thursday. The first draft of the bill was made Wednesday by W. c. Davis of Jasper and was submitted to oth- CTS for suggestions. No date has been agreed upon though 1t will De fixed during the present administra- tion.
 It is probable that the bill will be offered in both houses. This bill brings before the legislature two bills on the same subject; the other being introduced in the senate w ednesday by Senator Brewer of Jefferson, which provides for spe- cial election three months after fi- nal adjournment of the legislature and the submission of the issue to the voters during the election. Will Fight On.
 The introduction of the measure shows that the citizens committee. which is making the fight for the tenn, will ignore the resolution adopted by the two houses which expressed the sense" of the legis- lature that there should be no leg islation regarding the convict lease system during the present session.
 When the bills are considered by the senate and house committees any person will have the right to appear in support of or in opposition to them and to present petitions of those who favor a change in tho system or those who believe the pres ent system should be continued. Petitions Signed.
 Judge Fort has announced that petitions have been obtained from f9 counties urging the abolition of the system and that others will be ready soon.
 The action of the senate Tuesday in adopting the Long resolution was the subject of some discussion in legislative halls Wednesday. Those who opposed it contended that 1t could have no effect on those who favored anti-lease legislation. while those who supported it contended that its adoption brought an end to the fight.

 Market For Farm Products DECLARES TARIFF BILL INCREASED LIVING COST Member Of Wilson Cabinet Also Suggests Greater Credit Facilities For AgricuIturists. Would Open Foreign Trade
By THOMAS l.. STOKES (By Leased Wire to The Age-HeraId) Copyright, 1923, by United News

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Cheaper and more efficient transportation to widen markets for agricultural prod ucts Is the remedy offered by Will liam G. McAdoo, former Secretary of the Treasury and prominently men, toned as possible democratic presi- dential candidate, to relieve the pres- ent agricultural distress, reflected again Tuesday by a further drop in wheat.
 Other points in the relief program outlined by Mir. McAdoo Tuesday in an exclusive interview with the United News include:
 l. Further credits for the farmer.
 2. Full tunities for co-oper- ative marketing.
 3. Wider foreign markets.
 4. Removal of present discrimina- private interests.
 Republican Measures Fail.
 "The present condition of tho farmer Is reflected in the failure of all republican measures" McAdoo said. "The Fordney -McCumber tar if Is cutting down the price of his products while at the same time in creasing the price of all other things he needs. It gives the manufactur- CTS big subsidy at the expense of the people.
 "The over stimulated production of manufactured goods has created an over-demdnd for labor. The farmer has been brought, therefore, in com petition with the manufacturer for the necessary labor. He has been forced to pay higher wages and has found it difficult to get labor.
 "The present farm credit legisla- ton is a failure, but after all, the thing the farmer needs more than cucdit is wider markets and higher pEices-wider mark cts, particularly at home, but also abroad.
 o o o Depends Upon Transportation.
 "The home market depends upon transportation. Higher freight rates make it impossible to reach home markets in an extensive way. Again, when by the grace of God the farmer is able to get any home markets, he finds he can't get cars In sufficient number and at the required time. As a result he loses his perishable crops
 "The farmer must have plenty of cars at the time he needs them. He requires therefore, efficiency in rail- road management to get the neces- sary cars and to bring lower freight rates"
 McAdoo stated he will later de- velop in more detail the remedies suggested,

SAYS FIRE EVERY DAY
 NEEDED IN NASHVILLE
Semi-Desert Heat Of Today Diff
 ferent From Times Of Tore

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 1S.- While Nashville sweltered under a semi desert heat today, a letter came to the office of Roscoe Nunn, gov ernment meteorologist, to tell of fires burning and ice abounding in the year 1916, information which the central weather bureau at Washing ton has been seeking.
 The letter, from Miss Josie K Crockett of Nashville. giving her grandmother's impressions of the year, follows:
 "Tbe year 1S16 was marked by frost every month, and oftentimes ice. The fields and orchards were mostly bare; the gardens almost q waste; young chickens and turkeys were hard to raise on account of the cold; fires were made in homes near ly every day of the year; winter clothing was used even in the sum- mer."
 Today's highest temperature was ir the shade of 90 and even summer clothes were being sold at cut prices.
