THE QUESTION OF SHIPS

It appears that the ship operators, in their recommendations to the Shipping Board, have overlooked the statute requirements to which the board must conform in dispos- ing of the fleet. The board is by law in- structed to dispose of the fleet in such a manner as to insure the permanence of it's service to this nation. With this obligation certain of the operators suggestions are not in harmony. For example, the operators suggest that ''the Shipping Board should offer its remaining vessels for sale to Ameri can citizens without any restrictions and without any discrimination between buyers" Naturally, the board, in pursuance of It's policy and its interpretation of its obliga- ton to the American people, would make such restrictions as will require the main- tenance of steamship lines to important ports, and as will advance the commercial interests of this country. There must be such discrimination among buyers will make preferential sales to those capable of giving reliable guarantees for the operation of such vessels as are turned over to them.
 The great purpose underlying the whole administration of the merchant fleet is to keep the American merchant flag on the high seas to haul the major portion of Amer ican goods in American ships. Continued government operation and government finan- cial responsibility are not desired. The pro- vision of the subsidy as called for during the last congress would have solved the diff ficulty and would have let the government out quickly and without the financial out lay required by the present situation. That having failed the Shipping Board is obliged now to consider the plan next in order of feasibility.
 Those legislators in Washington who plume themselves upon having saved the country from payment of subsidy should not escape having called to their attention certain pertinent facts. In the first place, as has so often been repeated, the subsidy would have involved no greater sums than are now spent annually for the administra- tion of the fleet on the present unsatisfac- tory basis. So there is no saving there. In the second place, whereas the subsidy would have placed the shipping board in strong strategical position to sell the ships at their market value, the failure of the subsidy greatly weakens this position and may per- haps result in a distinct financial sacrifice on the part of the government, as the ships are disposed of. Under the present system of allocation losses in operation fall upon the public treasury. It should not be over- looked, also, by lawmakers that already there is agitation for the sale of the ships at sacrifice greater than would have been ex- pected under the subsidy, and that if the board finds itself in position where it must sell the ships, the price will drop like 2 plummet in face of such necessity. What ever other claim the legislators may make in behalf of their opposition to the ship sub- sidy, they cannot defend the proposition that they have saved the country any money, for quite the contrary is the case.

Knowledge Is Power

The legislature performed dis tinct service to the commonwealth in commissioning a group of it's members to make inspection. trips to other states to stucy agricultural conditions and methods with view to utilizing such information in measures of benefit to the farmers. Alabama's interests are predomi- nantly agricultural and in many re- spects prevalent ideas and methods are archaic and unprofitable. Knowledge is power provided it is guided by intelligence and indus try and brought into productive re- lation with soil and climate and the rich heritages of nature.

Laws in Obscure English
tselma Time.-Jo,,rnan

Too few laws these days are framed in plain English. The point IS brought out by the Houston Post that many of the laws upon both state and federal statute books are written in such manner ;nat the lay man cannot pretend to understand them, and they furnish the basis for prolonged legal controversies, Much of the time of the courts is taken up with trying to find out and to interpret the meaning of laws. Often a legislator finds a court in- terpreting his law in a very differ ent manner from what he intended.

Will Prove a HeIp

 In the spring is the time to bring the back yard out of it's state of uselessness into condition of use- fulness. This can be done in many ways, but the best way is to make the back yard produce food. A lit- tie garden plot in the back yard not only may help to reduce the house. hold expenses, but it may be an aid in family health by giving fresh, wholesome vegetables at a time when they are needed in the diet of all people.

 The charges as to the failure of law enforcement being~ds stated and no serious effort having been made to controvert them, the conclusion is irresistible that the city authori- ties are bound by their solemn oath of office to perform their duty in the premises. No excuses they ot- fer will satisfy the reasonable de- mand that complaints made by the citizens be given attention.

VICTORY CLAIMED BY
VETS IN ALBERTA

Calgary. Alta.=(A P)-With more
than 80 per cent of the country polls
reported in at 9:15 o'clock tonight and
early returns from the cities showing
a "wet" tendency, it appeared to cleo
tion officials here that prohibition
would be be defeated in Alberta.
Tabulation of returns from 834
polls out of 1884 showed $4,000
majority for government control and
sale of liquors Sixty polls in Cal
gary showed the moderation clause
leading by approximately 300. The
moderation clause also led in Edmon-
ton. Lethbridge and Medicine Hat on
early returns.
The ballot on which the voters ex-
pressed their views on liquor legisla-
tion contained four alternative propo-
sitions. The vote for each PROPOSE
tion compiled from reports in the
country districts, follow:
A-Continuance of existing prohi-
bition legislation, 26,444
B-Sale of beer in licensed hotels
and restaurants, 2024.
C-Sale Of beer through govern
ment vendors for consumption on
private premises only, 1905
D-Sale of liquors through govern
ment vendors on the permit system;
beer to be consumed on licensed pre-
misses, 40,803.
Early reports indicated that clause
D would defeat clause A by approx
mately 10000 majority, which would
change the present system of selling
liquor Clauses B and G have not
proved popular in either country or
city districts, according to reports
tabulated.
