CABANISS SAYS
Sep ARATE VOTES
SHOULD Be HELD
County May Ditch Court
House Referendum,
Is Belief

Although declaring that he knew of
no law to prevent the holding of the
referendum on the new courthouse site
on the same day that the democratic
primary Is held, q. II. Cabiness, legal
adviser to the county treasurer, point
ed out in a letter to the board of
revenue Thursday afternoon that ''it is
exceedingly doubtful if both elections
could be held, or should be held, by the
same election officers"
Mr.. Cabiness' opinion practically
comedies with that of Ernest
Matthews, county attorney, who in
formed the board of revenue that en-
tirely different election machinery
must be provided to make the two cleo
lions legal. The board of revenue is
expected to act on the matter at Fri
days meeting.
Refers To Acts
Mr.. Cabiness referred to several acts
passed by the state legislature, in re-
gard to elections and primaries, and
pointed out that the qualifications for
voters and returning officers were diff
ferent in the two cases. His letter to
the board was as follows: To the
Board Of Revenue Of Jefferson county,
Birmingham, Ala.
Gentlemen:
In response to your request for my
opinion az to whether IL would be legal
to hold an election with respect to the
issuance Of bonds for public improve
ments on the same day as the pri-
mary election for the selection of candi-
dates for certain state and county Of
fees, have to say:
I find nothing in the law either
authorizing or prohibiting the holding
of such elections on the same day, and
should say, therefore. that it would not
be illegal to do 30. It is exceedingly
doubtful, however, if both elections
could be held, or should be held, and
conducted by the same election officers.

FIVE NIGHT SCHOOLS
WILL CLOSE FRIDAY

Closing exercises will be held for five
Birmingham night schools Friday night,
Beginning at :45 o'clock. These ex-
ercises will mark the completion of the
six months term.
DIR. r. B. Glenn, superintendent of
schools, will take part in the exercises
ut Phillips High school and the In
dustrial School for Negroes. DR.. c. A.
Brown, associate superintendent, will

.tendent Frazier Banks will participate
in those at the Ensley High school. The
fifth night school to conduct closing
exercises will be the Council School
for Negroes at Ensley.
One of the features of the exercises
viii be the refunding of the special reg
istration fee of 81, paid at the begin
ming of the term to those pupils who
have attended 80 per cent of their
classes. DR.. Banks pointed out Thurs
day that approximately so negroes at
tending the night schools have learned
to read and write entirely as a result of
their attendance upon these classes.

holding primary elections, as found on
page 21S of the General Acts Of 1915,
is different in some respects from that
relating to elections to determine
whether or not county bonds may be
issued for public improvements, as
found in sections 1853 to 17S, inclusive,
in the code.
Shows Differences
To mention only two Of these differ
ences, the election officers are chosen
for the conduct Of primary elections, SO
as to give representation to different
political parties, while those chosen for
the conduct of elections relating to the
issuance of county bonds. are to be
chosen so as to give representation to
those favoring, and also to those op-
posing the issuance of such bonds. The
returns, moreover, are required to be
made to two different canvassing
boards. 1t is my opinion, therefore,
that the two elections should not be
held or conducted by the same cleo
ton officers, although / can see no
good reason why they should not be
held in the same room or building.
Whether it be wiser to postpone un-
til later day, the election to determine
whether or not the bonds should be
issued, in view of the fact that the ex-
pense will be the same, and in view of
the further fact that frcer and more
accurate expression of the public will
might be obtained if the election were
disassociated. from partisan contest,
is a matter for your determination.
Very truly yours,

COPELAND FLAYS
EPUSSYFOOTERS'
Characterizes Activities
Of Board Aspirants AS
Disgusting

In the warmest statement Of the
campaign to date, W. B. Copeland,
who seeks to succeed himself ON the
board Of revenue, assailed a majority
at his opponents as "pussyfooters and
ddesteppers" and invited them to "step
ont In the open and take a stand for
something"
.It is disgusting" said Copeland,
ito see So much lodging by most OF
the outsiders who want to get on the
inside. In public appearances they
have evaded the real issues and played
politics"
Charges Cause Stir
Copeland's charges caused a stir In
political circles and a number of can
didates made it known they would
answer him in their next public
Announcing his own position, Cope
land said
Unless popular vote on the court
house question can be taken in the
May primary, am against calling a
special referendum. The present board
OF revenue knows what the people want
and see no use to pass the buck.
favor going ahead and building a new
courthouse in Capitol park
IL also favor making Hillman hos
pital an emergency institution, and
the erection of a new hospital on the
elmshouse property near the city. ]
am In favor of the city of Birming-
ham taking over the Hillman hospital
and operating it.
Some candidates say they want the
present courthouse site retained in the
interest of economy; yet, in the next
breath they advocate county school
bonds and extensive improvements at
Hillman hospital. They forget that the
county can only issue $2,200,0O0 adj
ditional bonds; and that the schools
want 81 10000 and the hospital at
least half million. What would be
left to build new courrhouse?"
Condemns Almshouse
Copeland would have the new hos
pital combined with the almshouse
He said the present almshouse is q
bad firetrap.
The appearance Of George r, Traf-
ford, executive secretary of the city
police department, before the League
at Women Voters earlier in the week
when all board of revenue candidates
were heard, aroused the indignation
of Mr.. Copeland.
Traffcrd was butting in" he said,
and was out Of order. l understand
he wants to be clerk Of the next board
and he is spending much of his time
attacking the present board members.
It is plain that he has an ak to grind"
Mr.. Trafford, when told of Cope
lands statement, said he would make
. reply later. He said he addressed
the women voters by special invita-
ion," and that he probably would at
tend other political rallies from time
to time.

Plans were under way Thursday for
the staging in the next few days of
another "free-for-all' meeting of the
