JET IC|AL OF GITY ACCUSED BY BELL
WoodIaWn Bankers Charges Against Comptroller Taylor
 Are Being Investigated

Municipal circles were much upset Thursday by the statement of President A. W. Bell of the Wood lawn Savings bank that City Comp troller H. M. Taylor had approached him with the proposition that a pay ment of one-half of one per cent in terest be given him for depositing funds in his bank.
 Commissioner ". L. Harrison stated that pr. Bell had reported the matter on sep. ate occasions to the several members of the commission and that the latter at MT. Harrison's S request, had repeated the matter be- fore the commi~Sion sitting in execu- tive session
 President D. E. McLendon of the city commission, head of the city's financial department, has stated the matter was misunderstanding, that Mr. Taylor had requested the bank to pay the city .033S per cent on municipal deposits, as enjoyed by similar deposits of county funds in some institutions.
 MT. Taylor was called before the commission and it is understood has made statement regarding the matter that has satisfied the board the case in question was a misunder- standing. It was pointed out that one-half of one per cent on 10000. the amount deposited in the Wood lawn institution, would only amount to $150 annually and at that, the deposit remained in the Woodlawn bank for only eight months.
 Mir. Taylor declined to comment on the matter Thursday, saying only that he had made his report about 1t to the commission.
 He did say it was the policy of the city to distribute it's deposit funds among practically all the banks and that the $30,00O in question was a block of school bonds money, simi- lar to many others, which had been checked against until the account was closed. Later funds from a block of auditorium bonds had been deposited in the Woodlawn bank, as had been the case with other banks about the city.
 MT. Taylor announced Thursday that a reduction of one per cent had been obtained against loans to the city for current expenses. Birming- ham has borrowed $SO0.000 for cur rent expenses during the past fiscal year, but through depositing funds from bond issues with the three larger banks of the city, the interest rate on the current expense loans had, been lowered.
 The city has begun an investiga- tion of the report made by Dr. Bell

SAYS BIRM|NGHAM
 SCHOOLS ARE BEST
pr. Glenn Quotes From Speech Noted Educa-
 tionaE Authority
ENSLEY BUREAU l THE AGE-HERALD I

Dr. c. B. Glenn, superintendent of education, electrified members of the Kiwanis- club of Ensley Thursday with a speech relating the impress sions created at San Francisco by the reputation of the Birmingham school system. pr. Glenn said that one of the worlds greatest educational authorities was delivering a speech at dinner in San Francisco and the first words uttered were to the effect that the Birmingham school system was the best in America,
 The statements of pr. Glenn were made during a speech in which he endeavored to indicate to Kiwanians and their guests the reputation that was being builded in this city by the educational work. He said it would be supposed by some that he was guilty of egotism in thus referring to the work which he directed in a measure, but that he wished to sug- gest the distinction between any in- dividual and the organization as a whole. He did say, however, that if it were necessary for him to appear egotistical in order to let Kiwanis know what famous educators thought of the educational work here he was perfectly willing to be the goat in d transaction of that sort.
 The noted educator in his speech called attention to the fact that 125 school teachers from this city at tended the convention in California and later studied the famous uni versity in that state.
 Ills statements regarding the work in Birmingham was profoundly in- teresting to the business men and others forming the Kiwanis club and he was given rapt attention. He said in addition that the work in this city was going forward progressively and that as time went on even the repu- tation now Secured would, he thought, be substantially increased. Dr. Glenn was given tremendous ap- plause at the conclusion of his talk.
 A committee from the Birmingham Kiwanis club presented to the Ems ley club the proposal of erecting a Boys club in Birmingham. T. Jeff Bailey, district secretary, led in that discussion and was followed by w. Jack Adams, Joseph Loveman, of Lovemarf Joseph and Loeb, and pr. J. M. Broadly, pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church. The matter of help from Ensleyl to the amount of s10,OO0 lsas referred to the public affairs committee of which George R. Byrum is chairman It is believed that the Boys club will find a hearty response from the citizens of Ensley.

Talks to Bankers
CONTINUED from first page)

tOOnJlHucQ 1LOin u1cs Po6NI
could be little hope of the farmer
getting money to finance his activity
for a low rate. High interest rates
are driving the farmers from the
farms because of the nonproftablllty
of grain raising. Mr.. Clague promised
the bankers that he would do all i'll
his power as member of congress to
have the interest rate lowered, which
is paid by the government on certlfl-
Gates of Indebtedness.
"The tendency toward branch bank
ing was criticised by Mr.. Clague and
he asserted the federal comptroller
of currency was against that depar-
ture in banking, but that it seemed
he lacked the stamina to put his foot
down. There will be several bills
introduced in congress during the
next session relative to national
banks establishing branches, in
states, where the state banks are pro-
hibited from so doing" promised Mr..
Clague.
"The heavy burden of farm mort
cages, which are weighing upon the
people of this country was placed at
eight billion dollars by the speaker.
Of this huge sum the farmers of Min
nesota carry 100000. In the
state of Iowa the load is one billion.
Congressman Clague stated that
those, who thought normal times
were here or would come in year or
so, were mistaken He said it would
take from eight to ten years of the
hardest kind of work to liquidate this
indebtedness. For this reason he ia
vored assisting the farmer in lessen
ing the heavy burden.
During the course of his remarks
Congressman Clague took occasion to
state that the federal government fol-
lowing the war entered upon policy
of retrenchment and economy. "This
course is not due to the republicans
any more than to the democrats.
Members of both parties are doing all
in their power to reduce the indebted
ness of this country, which at the
close of the war was about 26 billion
dollars. He outlined that foreign
countries owed US some IL billion dol
lars, four and a half billion of which
sum England had already arranged
to refund, extending over period of
some SO years. He stated that al
though the indebtedness of the coun-
try was large that there was no coun-
