Committee Favor Measure Which Does Not Apply To
 Present Officials
STATE CAPITAL BUREAUl I
 THE AGE-HERALD !


Representative J. Lee Long's bill making 1t a misdemeanor for any public officer to draw two salaries and restricting all public officers to the salary provided for the main of flee he held, was given a favorable report by the house committee on claims and fees Wednesday after noon, but only after it had been amended so as to make 1t effective at the expiration of the terms of present officials.
 The amendment was adopted and the favorable report made came dur ing a fiery session of the committee. A. G. Patterson, president of the pub lie service commission, charged that Mir. Long introduced the bill only because of his opposition to those who now compose the public service commission. Mir. Patterson insisted that ex- -officio salaries were provided when the legislature put the state securities commission with the pub lie service commission and increased the duties of the commissioners. that the ex-officio salaries were fixed be- fore he was elected president of the commission and before II. r. Lee and Frank r. Morgan. associate commiS- sioners, were even candidates and that the members of the commission had no part in the fixing of the sal aries.
 Representative Long sought to amend his own bill by restricting its operation to state officials. but the committee laid the amendment on the table holding that if state officers are to be prohibited from drawing two salaries county officers should come within the same inhibition.

The house judiciary committee Wednesday considered the bill of Representative Burton of Chambers to place all probate judges, tax col lectors and tax assessors of the state on salary basis in place of the fee system. A subcommittee, composed of Representatives Embry, Walton, Luck Williams and Nichols was named to return a report to the com pittee on the bill. The measure pro- vldes that money saved by the substi- tuition of the salary system for the fee system shall be used for school purposes.
 Another bill considered by the judi clary committee provides for the es- tablishment of a state real estate commission, and for the regulation and licensing of real estate brokers and salesmen. The bill provides an additional tax on real estate men of $10 the first year and $5 thereafter, to be used in maintaining the state commission. It also provides for re- Voklng licenses of real estate men who are guilty of making substantial misrepresentations or false promises, who fail to remit collections or who act for more than one party in d transaction without disclosing the fact to the other, and for other con- duct considered improper.
 George w. 9ancey of Birmingham appeared on behalf of the bill, which he stated is sponsored by the real es- tate boards of the state. A subcom mittee with MT. Wall as chairman was named to consider the measure.
 taNorable reports were adopted on the bills by Judge Merrill to provide TOT the adoption of the new code and for it's publication and distribution.

WHITE OBJECTS TO LATEST VALUATION OF GAS COMP ANY
Contends That Special Master Refused To Consider All
 The Testimony
STATE CAPITAL BUREAUl
 THE AGE-HERALD Montgomery, Ala, July IS

Hugh White, special assistant at torney general today, filed with Judge Henry D. Clayton of the fed eral court exceptions to the report of s. H. Dent special master, which established the valuation of the prop erty of the Mobile Gas company at s1,969, 565. Arguments will be made on the exceptions of a date to be fixed by the court.
 The exceptions contained 20 type written pages and took up the re- port of the special master in de- tail. MT. White contended that the report of the special master should be set aside because he held the orig inal valuation of S1,969,565 fixed by the public service commission to be an irrevocable contract despite the fact that two federal judges, sitting with Judge Clayton, had held that the original valuation was not a con- tract.
 The further contention was made that the special master ignored tes- timony of the public service com mission regarding the original cost of the property and based his re- port on the reproduction cost of the plant.
 Another contention was that the special master, in determining the cost of operation, took the figures only for the year 1922 and permitted the inclusion In these figures of amounts used by the Mobile Gas com pany in political campaign, in con- tributions to charity and in other ways which should not be included in the cost of operations.
