STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HFRALD Montgomery, Ala, June 16 ]

An appeal for the abolition of the convict lease system and a solution of the problem that will banish forever the humilitating thought that Alabama's prosperity is depend ent upon the hire of her convicts'' was made to members of the Ala bama legislature by the Alabama a Federation of Women's clubs Satur- day afternoon. An individual letter was addressed to each member of the legislature by Mrs. Val Taylor of Uniontown, president of the fed eration, and Mrs. Bibb Graves of Montgomery, chairman of the com mitee on legislation.
 At the same time Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Graves addressed letters to the 275 womens clubs in Alabama, in which they requested the clubs to obtain signatures to petitions to the legislature calling for the abolition of the lease system during the ses- sion which will begin July 10.
 Our recent state convention held in Auburn, April IS to 21 re-affirmed it's unalterable opposition to the lease system and instructed its com mittee on Legislation to use every means to abolish it." said the letter to the clubs. During this recess period our legislators are doubtless giving serious consideration to this quation. Now is the time for our most effective work. Let every clubwom- an in labama, if possible, certainly every club, urge the members from her county to put an end to this in- iquitous system
 Appeal To Lawmakers.
 The appeal to the lawmakers for the abolition of the lease system follows:
 The Alabama Federation of eight years striven earnestly and continuously for the abolition of the convict lease system. When your body at it's first session was con Sidering a further continuation of this system, we appeared before your committee in opposition, basing our plea on human grounds; failing in this, We submitted facts which we believe conclusively show that the state can receive more money from the convicts by obolishing the lease system than by continuing It Since then a tragedy has been en- acted a tragedy that has aroused the entire country to a condemna- ton of the lease system. Our state convention held in April reaffirm ed opposition to this system and in- structed it's committee on legisla ton to use every means to abolish it
 We feel sura thc matter has lain close to your hearts during this re- cess period and we trust that you will come to the summer session with . solution, practical ana numane-a solution that will banish forever the humiliating thought that Alabama < prosperity is dependent upon the hire Of her cOnVictOs

BRIEF FILED IN
CITY job FIGHT
Set Forth Why Mullen Should
be Allowed to Take City
Collectors Office

City Attorney David 7. Wilentz
yesterday filed a brief in the Horns
by-Mullen writ of certiorari action
setting forth laws ana
why Mullen should be allowed to
take office as city collector and WIN
Hornsby should be ousted, which ac-
ton on the part of the aldermen re.
suited in q writ of certiorari being
obtained by Leo Goldberger repre-
sentlnS Hornsoy. The brief contains
nine typewritten pages.
Mr.. Wilentz's brief concerns the
Interpretation Of the law of 1906,
and whether this law repeats the law
of 1904. Mr.. Wilentz contends that
Chapter 3 of the act of 1906 contains
a provision which repeats Chapter CO
of the 1904 act, under which APP
pointment was made.
II the contention is incorrest and
the law does not apply to cities. then
Hornsby cannot be removed. Mr..
Wilentz cites the case of Ludlam va.
Dallas. and declares that in that in
stance the court holds that the act
does include cities.
In discussing the case today, Mr..
.Wilents said:
THE case involves a principle.
Ut is not so much a question whether
Hornsby or Mullen gets the office in
question. Morally and politically,
the Democrats are entitled to the
office OF collector Of revenue, the
Republicans having held the office
for q full term CT three years.
Whether this is SO legally, depends,
OF course. on the ruling of the
courts.
THE Republicans are by this pro-
-ceeding endeavorinS to stretch the
term to four years. IL the conten-
ton OF Hornsby is correct, the terms
Of the offices of city collector, clerk,
physician. street commissioner, sur
veyor and attorney, will be subject
TO the will of scheming politicians
and may be stretched 10 four or
i've years, rather than a fixed period
Of three years"
Mr.. ,Goldberger, in his brief,
claimed that the act of 1905 does
sot apply to cities.
