A GOOD TIME TO
SELL AUTOS.

II looks as though there is to be
considerable activity in the au-
omoolle market this spring.
pealers are stocked to full ca
pacily with new models. They
s'e mighty elated, too, over the
s,,alllylng prospects of selling
al their cars before many
Ieeks nave passed. Such a
situation is bound to result in a
aise number of used cars be-
lug onered for sale and neces-
a;y aailly at low prices. The far
,'en'ed owner will do well to
ny ny 10 sell his now. An ad in
HS,.,e,ryDody's Nv, Column costs very
,",. u'e and, for Somerset County
iU,aS ,va' at least, is the best med
anything.

rate controversies brought before 1t By utili-
ties or communities. On the contrary, It has
been shown on many recent occasions that
the present commission properly interprets
its function as the defender of the public
right. Accordingly, the commission does not
hesitate to initiate proceedings to correct rate
or other injustices imposed by utilities upon
the communities they serve. This attitude
Is fmpartiaily assumed with respect to gas
and electric companies, street railways, rail-
roads, power companies and other concerns
included in the keneral meaning of utilities.
The commission has not hesitated to 90 into
court in defenk Of the public right, and has
consistently shown a determination to make
no compromise when it has law and justice
on its side.
In view of this steady championship Of the
public welfare and the unwaverine policy Of
protecting the people of Alabama from ex-
cessive rates, the people owe it to their own
welfare to insure continuation of this policy
by supporting Mr.. pattersons aspirations to
succeed himself as president Of this imp0r-
tant public body. A change would be a
doubtful experiment, containing all the pos
sibilities Of sacrifice Of the present policy
OF public protection. As between man con-
corning whose attitude and capacity there
is no doubt apd man whose attitude and
capacity are vet to be tested, it appears that
the people of this state, in their own interest
have only one logical course to follow.

THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE

The Alabama Public Service Commission,
as at present constituted and under the able
leadership of President Patterson, has made
an admirable record in defense OF the public
welfare in its administration of the public
utilities of this state. The utilities have suf-
fered in respect to no legitimate ambition or
purpose, while the people of Alabama have
been saved hundreds Of thousands of dollars
that might otherwise have been unjustly I'm.
posed in the way of public service rates In
excess Of the percentages contemplated by
the law.
1t is particularly gratifying to the people
Of this state that, with the election Of Asso-
cjats Commissioners Morgan and Lee with
their views more in>aecoEd VITA thu bnlight.
eaed attitude of President Patterson, the c6In-
mission no longer regards itself gE mere
court whose functions are limited toiheArias

THE HIGHWAY DECISION

Dissolution OF the temporary injunction
against the highway commission with respect
to the proposed detours in Greene and Perry
counties does not in any way diminish the
force Of the reasons why such detours are
unwise and represent an unjust and uncalled
for expenditure Of highway funds. Nor Is
the dissolution properly to be construed AZ
a victory for the members of the commission
who sponsorede such detOurs. Their course
is wrong. The fact that the court finds that
course not Illegal does not in any degree in
validate the public reasons why the commis-
sion 10 violating its moral obligation to apply
the road revenues on fedsral-aid highways.
The people are 6ratified that the court
found the highway law valid, for its in
validity would seriously have interfered with
the highway desires Of the people Of Ala
bama. 1t is true that the attitude of Com
missioner Rogers is not governed by the most
approved highway standards, and that Com
missioner Suite has likewise interpreted his
public responsibility with respect to these
detours in a manner that does not represent
the greatest good to the commonwealth But
it is hoped that a way will still be found
either to induce or to compel these men to
alter their policy respecting such detours as
are not endorsed by acceptable engineering
authority. The Greene county detour in par
advice calls for an extravagant outlay of the
peoples money, and will forever be q tax
upon those who are forced to travel these un-
necessary extra miles to arrive at their des-
tination. ..
There is one point, however, on which the
people would like to have the opinion OF a
higher court, and that is the extent to which
commission is inundated by the understand
ing in accordance with which the people vote
them money or authority. In regard to high,
ways the people, before they voted on the
amendment, were given to understand IN every
possible manner that the state money would
be spent under the supervision and only with
the approval of the federal highway depart
ment. II that understanding is an obligation
on the commission, then the Greene county
detour is illegal, for it Is off the federal-aid
system and is therefore not under the super
vision Of the federal highway department

FOR THE PEOPLE TO DECIDE

The influence Of education is so intimate
and essential part of our civilized progress
that we are no more conscious Of its work
ings than we are of the pulsing of the blood
through our arteries. And education is as in
dispensable to our progress as the blood is
to our bodies. The heart of our educational
system is the public schools; at whose i'm
pulse our whole social structure is animated
and inspired. Stop the public schools and
education ceases at once. Diminish the nour-
ishment Of the public schools and the edu
cation of our youth suffers correspondingly.
Permit our educational functions 10 be con

fined within q scope too small and too mar
row, and the whole effort is labored and i'm
peded. The whole social system suffers when
it's educational impulses are obstructed and
their growth hindered, because Of cramped
accommodations.
The test of q peoples enlightenment is the
measure Of their support Of the education Of
the boys and girls. II that support is lag
gard, reluctant and inadequate, the test has
failed. If that support is prompt, willing
and generous, then the test has been tri-
