zON|NC MOVEMENT. COMES T0 \ HEAD.
Birmingham To Make Own Survey With Advice Of
 One Expert

News that the Maryland supreme court had upheld the Baltimore zon- ing ordinance prohibiting the in vasion of strictly residential sections by business enterprises and other classes of structures, reached the city hall Saturday and was followed by announcement by D. E. McLendon, city commission president, that the first definite steps toward enactins such an ordinance in Birmingham would be taken early in January.
 Tt is estimated,"' MT. McLendon said, that approximately $20,000 will be required to zone Birmingham and prepare a zoning map. It is my be- lief that our engineering department can do most of the surveying as well as anybody, and this would eliminate the financial obstacles.
 "The services of a zoning expert will be necessary for short while, but the cost will be so small that the commission can handle it easily. We are determined to make an inn mediate start on the going work. \ case arose last week. where negroes sought to invade white residential section, which emphasized the need for action. The public may rest as sured that definite steps will be taken withi nthe next few weeks"
 The zoning expert probably will
 
 Thes city will have to pay him his expenses and a salary at the rate of S5, 900 a year for the time he serves.
 MT. Whitten recently had charge of the work of zoning the city of Atlanta. A drastic ordinance now is in effect in the Georgia city. In ad- dition, MT Whitten has drawn zonipg acts for Cleveland, Indianapolis and a number of large cities.
 
 Stabilize Values.
 City Attorney W. J. Wynn, who is a strong supporter of a zoning law, shares the view of prominent real es- tate men that such measure not only will stabilize property values but will afford a maximum of pro- lection to small home owners who do not wish frame store or tower ing apartment house erected on ad- joining ots.
 The Baltimore court decision, ac- cording to City Attorney Wynn, in dicates the trend throughout the counry. High courts ina majority of states now have uphled the con- stitutionality of zoning acts and have held that municipalities have full au- thority to zone the territory within their limits.
 The Alabama legislature at it's last session passed an enabling act authorizing Birmingham commission l. CTS to zone the city. The work would nave been started long ago if funds had been available. The need for the measure has become so press ing that President McLendon now has decided to proceed anyway. The city engineering department, in his opinion, is entirely competent to do the work as satisfactorily as any specialists who might be brought here.

OTHER PEOPLES WARS

We must ali Europe or risk
q new war; said Senator Eorah
when he recently demanded a
werld conference upon economic
problems that undcrlic intcrna-
tional politics.
"But how will it affect us, if
We mind our own business. this
time, and stay out of it?" shout
scertain gentlemen of assumed
importance who have learned
snothing since 1914.
The most foolish persons in the
United States today are those
ssinug individuals who suppose
that it another war breaks ont in
Europe that we can stay out of
II. under any and all conditions.
1t another war should start in
Europe. the United States GER
tainly will try to Keep ont az It.
We tried hard enough to keep out
OF the last one. and We finally
went in only after our own situa-
ton was SO grave that we did not
dare stay out any longer. As a
matter OF tact we were in it from
the FIRST and didn't know it.
Are we, then. any less vitality
connected with Europe today
than we were Ill 1914? Does the
fact that Europe owes us some
ten billion dollars more than
then isolate us more now than at
that time?
Oddly enough the same gentle
men OF assumed Importance that
tell us that either peoples wars
are none of eur concern are the
same ones who sc0ff at covenants
Tor peace and tell us that we
must be ready for war at all
times because war is inelitable.

poRTo RICO AND SELF RULE

Walter Mackav Jones, member
of the Porto Rican Legislature,
accuses Governor L. Mont Reilly
Of the Justification Of news dis
patches.
The American people have
only one opinion about such in
cidents, and it has nothing what
soever to do with any private
feud that may or may not be be-
tween Mr.. Reilly and others in
Porto Rico. The citizens of the
United States wish, and are pre-
pared to insist, that their repre-
sentatives of high authority
everywhere be respected. II Gov
ernor Reilly did what he is accus-
ed Of, he should be removed
forthwith; and if the charge is
false Mr.. Jones should be prop
erly castigated by publicly set
ting forth the nature of the
charge.
From tbe day Mr.. Rely went
to Porto Rico his name has been
subject to avery sort OF criticism.
Of which rnly one-tenth needs to
be true to justify his recall.
President Harding has refused to
consider depriving Reilly Of his
post and as consequence Porto
Rico remains indefinitely stirred
up in acrimonious discussion OF
its American governor
The whole trouble lies in the
fact that the Porto Ricans should
not have an American governor
imposed on them at all. They
should choose whomsoevcr they
desire to be their executive. Gov
sernor Reilly may be 4 well-mean-
ing man, and wholly innocent OF
any wrong-doing, but it has been
proved beyond all doubt that he
has not fitted in with his post,
The perpetual discomfort which
broods around him all the time is
the proof of his unhtness for the
lob.
