To Cut County Expenss (Gadsden Times-Newsl

The Opelika Daily News hit the keynote about reducing expenses when it remarked that the county tax collectors and assessors office could be consolidated. It is . well known fact that one man can easily handle these offices in most coun- ties and in other counties he could have an assistant. If the state rep resentatives would get down to a program of doing away with some of the old-time and out of date methods of handling public busi- ness they would receive more fa- vorable comment and be in better standing in their own communities. We would suggest as . means of cutting expenses that every county be put on salary, all fees collected be turned into the county treasury, that county purchasing agents be appointed in every county ana placed under bond for the faithful conduct of their office. There are plenty of ways to cut expenses. but when you suggest a way to a poli. tician he can not see the wisdom of cutting expenses if you have to cut out Office-holders or cut salariea.

 One of the best indications of the growth of the anniversary in other lines than in mere number is the growth of better comradeship among the students. Democracy is com ing to b0 the style more and more. When a freshman comes here he is not ignored as he is in many places: he is given chance and taken for his merit and is not discriminated against just because he is a fresh- man.

Turning to Underwood (Florencn Tir,aaN

The news from Washington that democratic leaders from the north and west, as we'll as the south, are turning to Alabama's senior sena- tor as the most likely candidate in 1924. is extremely gratifying to the people of this state and to thought ful democrats everywhere. There is probably no other man: in the party who stands as high with the people in so many different sec tlons of the country as Oscar w. Underwood. He E by long odds the man for the nomination, and with the disappointing record of the republican administration, would be almost certain to lead his party to victory. M

Quest

And have you seen my little girl
 A-passing by today? A butterfly with golden wings
 Has lured her far away. Oh, you would know her by her eyes,
 Twin pools of twilight sweet; And you would know her by her smile And by her little feet. And if you find her, bid her rest,
 And give her of your bread, And mother her upon your breast
 And stroke her weafy head. And should thorn have bruised her hand, I beg you, wash the stain; And oh! pray lead her to my hearth
 And to my arms again. For would shelter her from harm
 And close her tender eyes, And lay my heart anear her heart
 And dream of Paradise. Ray. Birmingham leads the nation in increase in bank clearings.
 We must all be getting wealthier, for otherwise there could be no increased clearings.

Former Champion Is the Popular Bet ting Choice in Match With Clever
 French Billiardist at Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. S.-Jake Schaefer, former worlds 1s.2 balkline billiard champion, because of his greater ex- perience was made favorite by billiard enthusiasts over Roger Cont, cham pion of France, in their 1,50o point match which opens here tonight.
 While Schaefer was the pop . choice, it was admitted that he N-l be forced to do his best to defeat the Frenchman and win the right to meet William F. Hoppe of New York, pres ent champion. Both are said to be in tiptop shape for the match, which will be refereed by J. Herbert Lewis.
 Schaefer, whose phenomenal play in the Chicago tournament in 1921 un- seated Hoppe as champion, did not display the same form in the New York tournament last fall when Hoppe regained the honors. In the New York event Schaefer and Cont per formed about on a par, each winning three games and losing two.
 Cont, who made his first tourna- ment appearance here in 1921, did not come through among the first three, but created a sensation by defeating Schaefer, 400 to 203, reverse which eventually threw Schaefer into a tie with Hoppe. necessitating payoff.

WAR CLAIMS ASKED
BY COMM SSIQN
Germany Liable For American
Claims Resulting From War
Damages

WASHINGTON, November g.
-Four decisions determining German
liability for American claims result
Ing from the war, including those
growing out of the Lusitania's tor
pedoing, were announced late Mop'
day by the mixed commission.
While unfolding, broadly, the
Lusitania claims numbering 27S
and agqregating approximately
500. 100000 tie commission dis
missed $3.50 claims iotaling $345,-
100000 for the recovery of insur
ance premiums paid by Americans
for protection against war hazards
General principles governing the
ass ssnent of the American claims
were laid down by the commission.
Three of the decisions, inelnG:Tg
thai on the Lusltalia claims, were
unanimous, but in the other inter-
preting treaty obligations, Edwin
B. Parker, umpire, concWred with
}handleg F. Anderson, the American
commissioner, over the dissent Of
the German commissioner, Dr.. VIII
liam Kiesselbach.
An important feature of the Lusi-
tania decision was the refusal of the
commission to assess exemplary or
punitive damages. 1t held that such
damages were penal in their ma
ture, not compensation, and there
fore, unauthorized by the treaty Of
Berlin.
