STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l !
 THE AGE-HERALD }
Montgomery, Ala, Jan. ss


 Sheriffs will supervise the feeding of prisoners in the county jails anf will receive stipulated fees if the legislature passes the bill introduced in the house Tuesday by Represen- tative Powell of Walker county. Representative Powell offered the bill at the request of others. Ills colleague Representative Tanning, was asked to introduce 1t last week but declined when he found that 1t provided that the sheriffs would handle the feeding without supervi- sion.
 Governor Kilby just before he sur. rendered his office to Governor Brandon.sent a special message to the legislature in which he urged that the proposal for a return to the old system would mean, fat purses for the sheriffs and empty stomachs for the prisoners.
 At present sheriffs are allowed to spend certain amounts but they are required to account to the state and show that all moneys collected from the state have been actually ex- pended in the purcase of food. A special fee Is allowed the sheriffs under the present lawffor the prep aration of the food.
 Sabbath Supporters Detcrmfneu
 Advocates of the bill prohibiting all forms of amusements on Sunday where an admission fee Is charge9 are determined to pass the bill, at the short session of the legislature if possible. The bill was reported favorably by the senate temperance committee Tuesday and appears on the calendar for passage Thursday. The committee reported an amend ment which provides that the penal ties shall not apply to persons at- tending the amusements but only to those putting them on, but the ef- feet of the bill is unchanged. Rev. Frank W. Brandon, brother of Gov ernor Brandon. is one of the leaders of the movement for the passage or. the bill and those favoring 1t contend that it Is an administration measure. Governor Brandon in his first mes- sage to the legislature requested that the commercialization of the Sabbath be prohibited. Those advocating the bill are holding daily meetings and marshal1ing their forces for the su- preme effort.
 Mobile and Montgomery are more involved in the legislation than any other cities as Mobile permits Sun day baseball and picture shows while Montgomery permits picture shows.

SENATE MAY BE ASKED TO PROBE CLOTH COST.
 RESULT OF DISCUSSION

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Con- gressional Investigation Of increases in cost of suit and overcoat cloth being posted by manufacturers was suggested in the Senate today dur ing a clash between Senators Smoot. republican of Utah, and Walsh. dem .ocrat of Massachusetts. regarding the effect of tl,a tariff On clothing costs Senator Walsh asserted and senator Shoot denied that the increased tar if on wool was responsible for rls- ing clothing prices.
 Imputing responsibility to the re- publicans, Senator Walsh asked Sem ator Shoot to arrange for an inves- tigation of the cloth price increases, which, according to the formers in- formation, range from 50 to SlO per garment or overcoat cloth. Denying that the new tariff rates had caused the increases, Senator Shoot said that the general world increase in wool prices was largely responsible and added that figuring eight pounds of wool to an overcoat, if the gar- ment was all wool, the total cost, in cluding tariff. would not be nearly as great as the manufacturers in- creases.
 Eitner the tdrlll IS tHe cause oA increased cloth prices or the manu- lecturers are profiteering," said Sem ator Walsh.
 Senator Walsh argued that the i'm creased tariff rates were a factor in the increase of the world wool price. Senator Smoot said the increase in world wool prices. should not make difference of more than $2 or S3 on the cost of suit of clothes.
 With the duty at S1 cents a pound on secured wool under the new law. Senator Smoot said that estimating four pounds of wool tC a suit, the total cost of wool content, including tariff, would be s1.24. The wool tar if was imposed. Senator Smcot add ed, to catch the high brows who are not satisfied withsAmerican cloth but must have something from England or France"

SEE NO OPPORTUNITY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.--American efforts to be helpful to Europe in the reparations crisis can be pre- dicted only on a reasonable antici- patton of success, 1t was reiterated today by an authorized spokesman for the Washington government. Whatever the future may hold, there is no present ground for anticipating that any move the United States could make as benevolent bystander would bear fruit. Words, it was said, protest Or any other form, would be worse than useless.
 The Washington government fully recognizes the tenseness of feeling beth in France and Germany that occupa tion of the Ruhr has pro duced. It was again declared that the American desire is for adjust ment of the separations problem on a sound economic basis. But it sis clearly indicated in the reports oi American officials abroad that the opportunity for American interven- tion to smooth out the tangle has not presented itself and that any ill-considered action by the United States at this time might easily arouse enmities that would do harm instead of good and defer indefi- nitely any chance for American help fitness.

BILL ID CONTINUE TICK ERADICATION WORK |S FAVORED.
Measure Passes House Ap- propriating S20,000 For Prevention of Animal
 Diseases
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD
Montg0mery. Ala.. Jan, 23

Montgomery, Ala, Jan Z3
 Representative Goode'S bill making an appropriation of s2O,OO0 for tick eradication work and s7,500 for the eradication of tuberculosis, hos cholera and other animal diseases in connection with federal appropria- tions was passed during the session of the house only after an interest ing debate.
 Many members of the house in- sisted that they were opposed to a continuation of the tick eradication work and Representative St. John of Cullman said he wanted to return to his work and home when the legis- lature adjourned but he could not do so if he-did not vote against every bill providing for continuation of tick eradication.
 Although some of the members made a bitter fight against the tick eradication bill it was passed by vote of 60 to 21. The hog cholera bill received 70 while only eight were cast against it.
 Stewards Objection.
 During the debate on the tick erad- ication bill Representative N. B. stewart of Bibb said he didn't like the methods used in fighting ticks. When you call doctor to handle a case of sickness in your family he doesn't prescribe medicine for the en- tire family" said MT. Stewart. But when we provide it for campaign against cattle ticks they prescribe for all."
 TAX COMMISSION FAVORED
 MT. Longs bill providing for the creation of a state tax commission composed of five members, chair man and four associates. which will be appointed February 15, was re- ported favorably by the house com mittee on commerce and common carriers with substitute which changes the wording of the bill but does not change the meaning.
 The substitute provides for salaries of s4.OO0 a year for each member of the commission, the salaries being the same as are now paid the present commission of three.
 URGE TAYLoR'S SELECTION.
 Taking into consideration the fact that the south and Muscle Shoals would have a friend at court if for mer Governor Alfred M Taylor of Tennessee should be appointed secre- tary of the interior as the successor of Albert D. Fall, the house of rep resentatives today adopted the reso- luton of Representative Glenn of Lauderdale urging President Harding to honor the south by appointing Governor Taylor.
 The resolution was adopted after it had been given a favorable report by the committee on rules. A similar resolution offered in the senate by Senator Duncan Of the First district was defeated, the contention being that a democratic legislature should not attempt to tell q republican pres- ident that certain republican should be given a certain position in his cabinet.
 Alabama is interested in Governor Taylor because he is a friend of Muscle Shoals and Henry Ford's bid for Muscle Shoals and the author of the resolution believes Governor Taylor could obtain the ear of the cabinet and enlist powerful influ- ences in favor of the acceptance of Fords offer. The resolution was sent to the senate for action.
