THE LEADING ISSUE

Stopping over in Chicago en route to Washington, Senator Underwood is quoted as expressing the opinion that the Republicans will do nothing but drift between now and the election next year, and added that the fact that the Republican party flunked com pletely on European affairs will be an issue in the coming campaign. Sena- tor Underwood reiterated his view that there was nothing to prevent America from adopting a common sense diplomatic policy in dealing with Europe, even though membership in the league were objectionable to Re publicans; but instead of doing this, he declared, the Republicans "have mud dled around on the method of ap- proach to the problems and fallen down completely on the main objec~ tive, which was to protect and con- serve the interests of the United States in Europe"
 At this time come vigorous com plaints from the farmers of the West of their losses from the slump in the price of wheat, while under the Ford ney-McCumber tariff they are forced to pay high prices for their necessities. It is plain to Senator Underwood, as it is to thousands of thinking persons of affairs, that this and other serious economic troubles in this country are the result of the closing of European markets to the surplus products of America, a situation that is due to Americas tariff wall and failure to do anything constructive with regard to economic conditions in Europe
 There is every reason to believe that as this situation becomes worse, one issue, as Senator Underwood says, in the coming campaign is going to be the placing of blame for this situation. There is only one way in which this can be done, and that is through the weapon which the citizens who are dissatisfied with conditions have the power to wield in the form of prac- tical protest-the ballot box. "Vigo- rous diplomacy" as a means of pro. tection to American economic int ,t ests could have been employed by the Republicans. They neglected this op- portunity, and the American people are already threatening to make it the leading issue of this campaign.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-09-26

exponent of that sentiment, there is a perceptible tendency towards return of power by the machine-ridden sys- tenn. There are signs of resumption os conditions created and fostered under such political bosses as Quay and Pen rose, and already there is more or less speculation as to who will be the ma chine leader
 In the event that such a situation materializes, there will be many self respecting citizens of Pennsylvania, as well as thousands of thoughtful peo- pie in other parts of the country who attach value to decent government as productive force for clean and con structive business, who will feel sorry for the Keystone State. For many years it was one of the most sadly machine-burdened states in the Union. Graft and corruption were practiced with shocking boldness, and political scandal was so common that it at- tracted little attention and was ac- cepted as matter of course.
 There was widely admitted reason for this-the long established and complete entrenchment and domina- tion of one political party. Need fo.' respectable minority of such strength as to provide a restraining influence against incompetence. waste and cor r'uption was generally recognized as the only hope of ridding the state of it's professional-politics despoilers. There was step towards throwing off the yoke when Pinchot was elected governor; but .the spells system in Pennsylvania never entirely lost it's grip, and now it seems to be aspiring to resume business at the old stand.

DANGER OF FIREARMS

On the approach of the hunting season a word of caution to parents against permitting children, unar- tended by older persons, to carry fire arms is in order. Every fall in Ala bama witnesses the death or injury of many children through careless hand ling of guns in the fields and forests. Some of the victims have not reached their teens, while many are not old enough to handle guns with reasonable safety. Most of the accidents are the direct results of parents thought. lessness. With a little more fore thought they will spare themselves severe blows. Most accidents from this cause could and should be avoided. A little precaution by the parents will go a. long way in this matter.

NO BOND ISSUE NEEDED.

While preparing the municipal DuG- ket for the coming year it were wei that the city commission abandon talk iof a possible bond issue to take care of deficit for the fiscal year in the event that the commission should fall to collect the $216,0OO due the city bJ the county as the formers portion of the road tax. This debt is long past due. It is a fair and just obligation of the county to the city, and has been so held under the supreme court rul- ing. What more could the city com mission ask by way of support in its claim? Other commissions have col lected similar debts, and there is no reason why this commission should fall down on the obligation resting upon it to do likewise.
 There has been some talk of enter ing suit against the county to re- cover these funds. If the city com mission cannot induce the county board of revenue to adjust the mat ter by friendly means, the courts are available to settle the issue. Legd action may be necessary to reach q satisfactory settlement. If so, why the continued delay? The commission is supported by the law to commence with and there seems no reason why such action, if necessary, should not be taken.
 It is we'll enough to talk of bond issues for purchase of needful per manent public improvements such as park sites, school buildings and the like, when there is something to show for the expenditures. Such matters are for the people to decide after full information, plans and purposes are laid before them. But the people are not expected to assent to proposi- tions to incur interest-bearing debts to care for deficits caused by failure
 executive authorities to perform their duties, which include making ends meet under a budget system pro-
 ided by law. The people are sick
 nd tired of assuming extraordinary
 ligations arising from business in
 ficiency on the part of their gov ernmental representatives Let the commission proceed in whatever way may be necessary to collect this and other debts to the city, arrange bud get with sufficient leeway to take care of unforeseen or ordinary emer- gencies, live within the available re- sources and stop talking about possible bond issues to take care of ex post facto expenditures.

NOT ECONOMY

Complaint of lack of sufficient fire fighting force, as brought out by the recent serious fire on Morris avenue, is source of concern to every prop erty-owner and insurance policy holder in the city. It is set forth by the !. commissioner of public safety that t was necessary for number of fire men, after making the run, to return to man and bring the tower truck to the scene, as there were not enough men to bring it on the first response to the alarm
 If the fire equipment is not suffi- ciently manned for the most effective service, the public loss will be im- measurably larger than the cost for sufficient men. The prevention of one large fire or successful! efforts against it's spread would save enough to pay for many additional men and much additional equipment. The at titude of some people that they escape loss when they are fully insured is erroneous. Every fire is paid for by property owners carrying insurance through rates charged according 10 risks. Those risks are heavier when a fire-fighting system is faulty or in adequately organized. The more fires as rule the larger the rate, which is distributed among all who carry in- surance, These things might well be considered in connection with the eff ficiency of the fire department and it's costs of maintenance.

Defends Convict Pol,ex


 To the Editor of The Age-Fierald:
 Noting with uniform regularity the disposition of The Age Her aid and no less the Birmingham News, to criticize Governor Brar- don in his attitude relative to the control and management of tie convicts, I want to state tha. the average layman feels that these two papers are playing politics Of the purest ray serene so far as their criticism relates to the con victs that work in the coal mines.
 Most people that I come in con- tact with feel that there Is an uu- due amount of sentimental slop that Is going to waste over the unfortunate, high toned, gentle manly burglars, thieves, robbers and murderers who are expected to serve sentence for their hellish crimes for which the state and counties have necessarily been put to an enormous expense to convict them for the protection of society. property and civilization. and because they are not allowed to bring about a state of mutiny in which they destroy property and civilization, and because they are not allowed to bring about d state of mutiny. In which they destroy property, organize them selves In union. go on a strike and raise the devil generally. fou and some others have started out on a campaign giving trouble to those whose business Is to con trol such degenerates, spreading your tears mixed with sentimental slop because they have been hu- namely thrashed for disobedienca. and an attempt to destroy prop erty.
 Such a course is regarded un- worthy of two great papers, such as The Age-Herald and the News. That Brandon has made many mistakes, and the fact that he is certain to make many more. will furnish you with all the material that you should want for criticism that IS Just and deserving. which IS your privilege and duty to use ireely In your columns. But this convict propaganda Is striking be- low the belt and no man who wants to see fair play appre- | ciates 1t.
 Personally, am not a Brandon man, never was, did not vote for him. and would not if he was a candidate again, but he and the last legislatures position on the convict system, under the present conditions, l think eminently jus- titled. GEO. D wITT
 Decatur, Ala, Sept. ,24. 1923.
 The Age-Herald regrets that MT. Witt believes the press to be animated by even pure" poli- tics in respect to the convict lease system. This newspaper is content to await the outcome of the present court inquiry, and is confident that. if this inquiry Is
