WHAT BANKERS THIN
OF The LABOR BANKS

With the advent Of the labor bank
spread speculation as to what labor
turning capitalist would mean
BY bold calculations the most I'm
aginative pictured coup detat In
finance wrought by the mobilization
of labor's savings and strategic In.
vestments in the key industries.
Prophecies of disaster came from the
quarters of the other extremists.
Taking the middle ground was the
great group Of conservative bankers
who saw the bank as a link-rather
than a wedge-between capital and
labor. 1t was their opinion that the
experience gained in the manage.
ment of the labor banks would bring
a real understanding of the business
of handling money and investments
and develop a knowledge Of the prob
lens of capital. By making capital
lists out of the workers, directing the
investment of their funds into safe
securities instead of wildcat stocks
and by promoting thrift, they saw
good flowing from the enterprise. With
the mystery taken out of banking
the bubble of fabulous earnings
pricked, and the right of an individ
ual to his accumulated savings firm
ly established, it was patent that the
radicals would be disarmed of their
thunder against the much-assailed

There must be something seriously wrong with an institution in constant need of grand jury investigation That there is something basically wrong with Alabama's convict lease situation is evi- dent without investigation, and the more necessary such investigation becomes, the more evident this wrong becomes. In- vestigate Flat Top by all means. But let no one think Investigation will avail, except in more complete knowledge of the unsavory details of system that is incurably rotten. There is only one rem edy for the situation. Governor Brandon knows what that remedy is, but for req sons best known, to himself he refuses to apply it. So the grand jury may pro- ceed to it's investigation as is its duty; but the people know that anything short of abolishing the system is as effective as wading in bog in the hope of drying #

YOU CAN'T RUN OVER OUR COPS
 (Colliers)

Any motorist who strikes a traffic police man should be arrested" says Mayor Hylan of New York. The average man, or at least the average pedestrian. may think that any motorist who strikes a child should be ar rested, or any motorist. for that matter, who strikes pushcart pedd!er, q stenographer a banker, or anybody else.
 The truth is that we have entered into a new age of chivalry. In the Middle Ages only the man on horseback had rights. He was the baron, or, at any rate. one of the baron knights or men-at-arms, and he could do about anything he liked ito the peasantry who walked Today the man in the car-any car-is the baron and the pedestrian is the peasant. If you don't believe it, keep track and see how many drivers are even seriously rebuked for killing pedestrians. Yet in the Middle Ages there was one institution the man on horseback dared not touch--the church. The result was the saving of many treasures that would otherwise have been de stroyed, and also the imposition of a salutary check on the man on horseback. If our traffic policemen become sanctuaries, pro tected by a sacred tabu. it may put some check on the pride of the motorist, even if it isn't much help to the pedestrian.

REPORT ON SCHOOL BONDS

The tentative recommendation of the special finance committee to inquire into and make specific recommendation con corning he proper amount of bonds that should be asked for schools, places the sum at three million dollars, plus what ever sum is added for library facilities, probably quarters of a million more Thus it is perceived that the library needs may be accommodated without interfering with the original school program. The three million deemed sufficient for schools is of course based on the assumption that the application of the total funds set forth in the school survey as needed would extend over a period of several years, and that the request for additional sums needed for schools should be de- ferred until the time when they are to bO used.

THE DFNBY RESIGNATION

Mr. Denby, in resignlng from the caol- net as secretary of the navy, has done the eminently proper thing. It was proper, not only because it was the ap- parent desire of the congress, and be- cause it would relieve the president of embarrassment, but particularly because the evidence brought out in connection with his handling of the naval oil leases has revealed a lamentable and an aston ishing deficiency of capacity to handle the affairs of that high office. Whether Mir. Denby had any guilty connection with the illegal and corrupt features of the lease deal will perhaps be brought out later. That is matter for the special investigators to handle. But that he was not fit to continue in office is the general opinion, entirely aside from any consid- eration of personal or official integrity.

A Real Wilson Memox;aI
he Editor of The Age-Herald

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Admiration for Ex-President Wilson, and desire to honor his memory with worthy memorials, seems to have stirred our whole country. Here in Birming- ham contributions have already been made, yet no definite object has been mentioned.
 What better memorial could Birming- ham erect to the Man of Vision," the educator and scholar, than a public li- brary, for which there is such a crying need at this time-honoring Woodrow Wilson and giving an incentive to our youth to seek learning, and the greatest opportunity to cultivate the intellect? A few years ago the issuing of bonds for library was voted upon and lost. l began inquiring how other cities, many of them not so large, or so prosperous, had secured libraries. l was impressed by the great number that had been established by bequests and gifts wholly and in part.
 Now, is there not some citizen who will do as much for Birmingham? Perhaps someone will donate site, and then let us go forward with our popular subscrip- tions, and erect noble memorial to a great chic ftain, and safe place where our children may enter to pursue knowl- edge. (MlSS) M. ADELE SHAW.

THEY HURT ONLY THEMSELVES


 There is no necessity to get excited over the failure of the German ambassador and his staff at Washington to see the propriety of putting their flag athalf-mast as promptly as did the representatives of every other na- tion except Austria. Indeed, what one should feel in considering this unpleasant incident is something like regret like pity th0t there should have been such a display of sheer stupidity by men belonging to ra0A in so many ways highly intelligent.
 To make had matter worse. the refusal to half-mast the German and Austrian flags was explained, belatedly, but as soon as it was realized that an explanation was in order, by the empty technicality that Mir. Wilson was private citizen and therefore not to be noticed by foreign governments That was only an excuse of the sort that anybody, can find for any act by looking hard enough. and it was made the more absurd by the later statements that, as the departments in Washington were to close while the funeral was in progress. therefore Mir. Wilson was not a private citizen and the two flags would be lowered for a while.
 In other words, these Teutons lacked the courage of hate as of conviction. and. having harmed themselves much as they could by display of gross discourtesy. proceeded to harm themselves still more by an inadequate mitigation of their original conduct.

An Ugly Situation (GadSden JourDal)

Several years ago Gadsden. along with a number of other Southern cities. made stren- uous efforts to secure the location of one of the great veterans hospitals. which were to be built throughout the country. One of these was to be erected for the district comprising several Southern states. of which Alabama was one and Gads,len citizens endeavored to secure the institution. A site on Lookout Mountain was offered. The offer was sent to Washington. and there it seemed to be shunted from one board to another Fin ally it was announced that plans had been changed entirely and no hospital would be erected for the present, The Journal does not know the reason for this apparent change off plans. But it would like to refer it's readers to the expose. now heinz made by Will Irwin in series of articles in The Birmingham Age Herald of the manner in which Colonel Charles R. Forhes conducted the Tinted States veterans bureau.
