The drivers of ambulances and fire appa-
 ratus are experiencing the same disregard
 of their rights, it appears. Fire Chief Amos Warphh insists that he can't drive over 80
 miles an hour to his dentist any more with out having some pedestrian interfere with him.

"It's sumpin awful said "Slats' Schwart- zenwogg, driver of Pink taxi today. Only last night I had another experience that's got me nerves all upset. I was coming down street at a moderate speed-abopt 40 miles an hour, I guess. There was sumpin the matter with the carburetor and she wouldn't do no better. I was on a very important trip. Six drunks had hired me to take them to a new pool room. All of sudden mother and two little girls walked right out in front of me. I found out later they was going to church. They must have been mak- ing six miles an hour at the time. They didn't give me any signal or nuthin. didn't have any lights on. We'll, before l knew it they had walked right into my front bumper ! It gave me an awful shock. There's no fun driving taxi any more. These pedes- trians are getting too reckless. don't see why the police don't act"

Cat, Slowganny, driver of five-ton mo- tor truck, makes a similar protest.
 Hardly a day goes by that some sap doesn't two-step right into my truck" he said indignantly. "They don't give a driver a chance no more. This morning I' was blowing alon gat about 60 miles an hour-I was in hurry as wanted to get to a music store early and buy my wife new phono- graph record-when an old man walked off the curb and plopped right under the wheels. It was lucky he was old and frail, as no dam- age was done to my car but suppose he had heen A OO-nounder in the prime of life?"

The Failure Is Republican.-For several years now the Republicans have been in charge at Washington in all departments ct the government but have refused to listen to any and all offers for the Shoals property Yet some Southern farmers will continue to forget their best interests and hang to party that has no interest in their welfare. Why should the Republicans turn down any reasonable offer when the property IS 2 liability so long as the government retains control ?-DeKalb County Herald.

Ford Would Have Exposed Proflteering.-- The public knows nothing, and public service commissions little more, about the cost of producing hydro-electric power, and it Is comparatively easy for the Alabama Power Company and similar companies to compile statistics to establish cost of production at prices to suit themselves and secure rates upon such a basis, but competition from man like Henry Ford, who does not desire to ex- tort exhorbitant prices from the public, would soon expose the profiteering of these corng panies and force prices to level which would not bo pleasing to them at oil. Reelection in the price of fertilizers is not the only bugabco for the trusts in Muscle Shoals, the power people, aluminium trusts and others. all see ghosts stalking around the mighty strgeture of Wilson Dam.

Should Keep Saving Wood.-When the Ford bid was first offered, a public speaker said on the streets of Tuscumbia: Keep sefs ting the old hen; blow your ground and grow crops. Many people did not heed this adr vice. thinking the speaker was prejudiced- How much better off, we would have been had this sound, logical advice been adhcred to- no one knows.-Colbert County Reporter.

OPINIONS AS TO HENRY FORD.

If Is Up To Congress- Henry Ford has withdrawn his offer for Muscle Shoals. It is now up to congress to dispose of this val uable property in way that will be of bene- fit to all of the people without further poiiti- cal squabbling.-Slocomb Observer.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-10-29

win Find Small FavOr.--The idea of com mission to dispose of Muscle Shoals is politl- cal propaganda in the interests of the prcsi-. dent. 1t will find small favor in congress and especially with those who have fought for nron1pt action. Tho fight so fnr has been out in tbe open and there will be little encourage. ment for the proposal of secret methods ae this late date. The friends of the Ford orreS who are in such a tremendous majority in the House. win find their own solution of the matter if Mir Ford actually retires from the contest. They will have little disposition to turn the problem over to those who have constantly favored the big interests opposed to the popular will-Muscle Shoals Sunday News.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-10-29

Keep It Out Of Politics.-The question of government operation is being strongly ad- yocated But do we want government opera tion? Do we want this immense project to become the plaything of politicians? We be- lieye not. We believe the vast majority of the people would prefer having it placed urar der private control with proper restrictions and kept forever out of politics.-Moulton Advertiser.

Blames It On Underwood.-As this journal expressed it, and exactly expected, when The interests placed Oscar Underwood ia front to lead (and sidetrack) the Ford bid 1t was their best stroke to paralyze and disgust Ford To the best of his woefully overFated ability Oscar has been one of the interests's besi weapons.-Coosa River News.

q. s. MARSHAL DEPLORES
USE OF DOPE IN PHOENIX

United States Marshal George E.
Mauk, in a late address, declared that
crime would be lessened in Phoenix
by so per cent if the locality could
be cleared of drug addicts. He charg-
ed that narcotics are being peddled
even in the jails and schools of the
state. Students are said to have been
urged to use drugs to stimulate their
mental activities.
In party of IL prisoners lately
dispatched to the Leavenworth peni-
tentiary were seven drug addicts, one
of whom was found in possession of
a considerable quantity Of dope" A
recent seizure in Phoenix was of 200
ounces. Even prominent citizens were
declared to be narcotic users, but the
use of drug, Mr.. Mauk said, invar-
iably served to break down the ner-
vous system and moral sense of the
addict.
Nearness to the border and the ease
with which opiates may be smuggled
make the local situation a difficult
one for the law enforcement officers.
