IN BEHALF OF THE PEOPLE

That section of the state law which spe-
officially. gives the right Of protest petit
ton for rehearng only to the utility,
during the thirty-day period between the
date of tentative fixing of its valuation by
the Public Service Commission and the day
the permanent valuation goes into effect,
could not have better favored the utilities
as against the public if it had been written
by them. Indeed, so cloudy is the statute
on this point that some doubt has been raised
whether even the commission itself has the
right to grant a stay or a rehearing on a
valuation already tentatively approved and
adopted. The Alabama Power Company
actually challenged the right of the commits
sion to grant stay or rehearing in it's re-
cent case except on the application of the
Alabama Power Company itself!
Such a preposterous situation could NOT
fail to attract legislative attention. Accord
ingly a measure is now pending which SEEKS
to amend this section of the law in such a
manner that the commission itself or any
recognized representative of the public in
terest will have the right to call for a
rehearing. No longer will the law stand as
the protector of the private advantage as
against the public welfare. If the law is
amended it would not in the future be pos.
sible for utility, through hasty and last
minute measures to bring about a valuation
plainly excessive and contrary to the best
interests Of the people.

THE CONVICT LEASE SYSTEM

The convict lease system should be con-
sidered in its moral aspects, and not pri-
marily as a matter of dollars and cents. It
is humanitarian, rather than a financial,
question. It concerns the welfare of I'M
fortunate men who are wards of the state
and, regardless of what their offenses may
have been, are entitled to be treated as hui
man beings The question involves the self
respect of the citizens of Alabama. No
other state leases its convicts. Is Alabama
willing to confess that it alone is unable to
finance its affairs without revenue from this
barbaric practice? Selling convicts into
bondage is a relic of barbarsm which no COM
monwealth can afford to tolerate, if if wishes
to be considered enlightened. The old idea
that punishment for crime should brutalize
and degrade has long since been discredited
and proved unsound. Modern penology
holds that prisoners should be given chance
to redeem themselves and instead of being
turned out of prison worse than they were
before, to become willing to abide by the
law and seek an honest livelihood. There
is middle ground between pampering con-
vict and making him confirmed enemy to
society by brutality and Indifference. 1t
is this middle ground that should be sought,
and the lease system has no place in it.
1t would be contrary to Alabama's spirit
of progress to continue a practice that has
been condemned by public sentiment every
where, including that of this state, and it is
a poor argument to that population
of two and one-half millions is in any way
dependent on the 5000 men and women in .
the penitentiary. Even as an economic prob
lem, there is no convincing reason for con-
tinuing the lease system, since there are
other ways that have already been tried
and found successful for utilizing the labor
of conviets. The real question at issue is
whether or not convicts shall be worked I'M
der conditions that will assure them the pro-
lection of the state or turned over to per-
sons who will exploit them for private gain.
When convicts are under lease to pri-
vate concerns, the state has little or no
supervision over them. They become to all
intents and purposes the property, the hui
whom they are leased. By periodic insper-
tions the state may nominally look after
their welfare, but it has been found that
this does not prevent abuse and ill treat
ment. Most of the time convicts are at the
mercy of private guards, who may or may
not be humane, and are not directly respon-
sible to the state. Conditions are good in
some convict camps, but in former years
there were deplorable cases of mistreatment
Convicts were beaten, compelled to work
when they were sick, given inferior food
and forced to live in unsanitary surround
ings. It is the purpose of those who lease
them to make their services as profitable
as possible. Obviously not much attention
will be paid to their comfort and health.
The argument that the convict lease sys-
tenn puts. money into the state treasury
cannot be allowed to weigh against the hu-
name and moral objections to it.

The Peoples Forum
Outgrowing Its Clothes

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
1t seems to me, in view of the
facts, first, that the city of Bir-
mingham being big, strapping boy
who has outgrown his financial
clothes, some provision must be
made for his future growth, and
the further fact that there has
sprung up lately, it seems, consid-
cradle agitation regarding a new
county courthouse and city hall,
right now is a good time to start
a campaign of education for the
consolidation of the city of Biz
mingham and that portion of the
county of Jefferson within it's bor-
ders, under one government. 1t
also seems to me that to build two
separate and distinct new buildings
to take care of our already cum
bersome and expensive, not to say
obsolete, twin governments, would
be a further step away from the
solution of our present difficulties.
1t has been stated on no less an
authority than our present city
comptroller, who is familiar with ouI
county and city financial affairs
that this consolidation would effect
a reduction of at least one million
dollars a year in the expense of
government. If there are any rea-
sons why we should continue this
expenditure for practically no value
received, l, for one, and | think a
great many others, would like to
know what they are.

Cost of Lock Twelve

There has been considerable dis
cussion about what lock twelve
cost, by various and sundry in
terests.
| have discussed this matter will
a great many people of all walk:
of life, including expert civil en-
gineers, and | am of the opinion
that the total cost of lock number
twelve, including all transmission

it, cost less than $3,769,730.

donation of oil by several of the large oil
companies and the assistance promised by
the railroads in digging bitches for drain
age along their lines. The general problem
of drainage here is less difficult than in
most places. So, compared with mosquito
control projects elsewhere, the cost to Bir-
mingham in this matter will be relatively
small. The imperative need for this work
was sufficiently illustrated by the dengue
fever epidemic here last fall, from which
neighboring communities which had been
adequately protected against the mosquito
were entirely free. The campaign deserves
the utmost public cooperation.
