ually painful demise of the session was the Senate Daugherty committee whose plans to resume sessions in midsummer went awry because Chairman Brook. hart failed to obtain opportunity to call up an authorizing resolution draft ed for that purpose.
 An hour before the final fall of the gavel on the presiding officers desks in Senate and House, President Cool idge went to his room in the capitol to affix his signature to last-minute 1egis- lation. He signed number of bills and receipted there the Senate and House committees appointed to notify him of the adjournment.
 After it had disposed of deficiency bill, and its reclamation bill rider, the House stwiddled it's thumbs during the last half shour, but in the Senate par tisani strife contributed its dramatic note until the very end. nix, Talks Two Hours f%
 Senator Walsh tried early in the day to secure action on the oil report, but Senator Spencer, republican, Missouri, objected to a vote until he had oppor- tunity. to state at length his objections to it. Despite democratic charges of a fihbuster, he talked for more than two hours and when he had finished Sena- tor Norbeck, republican, South Dakota, obtained the floor to make fight for farm relief.
 No sooner had the South Dakota senator moved to attach a wheat ex- port bounty provision to a pending House bill, however, than Senator Shoot, republican, Utah, launched into speech of more than, an hour on the financial record of the administration. That aroused a debate which continued until the deficiency bill with the recla- nation provisions as amended in the House .ca4Ae up under privileged status.

 Plead Silence
 Several others, including some of his best friends on the democratic side, pleaded with him in vain to withdraw his objection and take his seat. The tension in the chamber increased as the hands of the venerable Senate clerks slowly -appi0aehed the deadline and dis order became so pronounced that Demo cratic Leader Robinson suggested the sergeant-at-arms 'be instructed to re- store, and maintain order"
 With only minute left, Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri. then moved that the emergency resolution passed five minutes before by the House be adopted but Senators Rorah and King immediately demanded to be heard. While they were shouting for recogni. tion, President Cummins announced the Senate had adjourned.
 The house, however, failed to go through with. it's program to adjourn at o'clock. Five minutes before that hour was reached, Representative Longworthe the republican leader, pro-

 MONTGOMERY. Ala, June IA. G. Patterson, president of the Alabama public service commission is not only a believer in public school education, but also believes in providing the money with which to pay for it. This com bination of beliefs is not found, strange to say, in all men in public life.
 All are unanimous in their eulogy of the wonders and glories of education, but some refuse to go beyond that point, apparently believing that an adequate educational system can he. established and maintained by good will and unani- nous consent without any exertion to foot the bills. Considerable interest was attracted by the address recently , delivered by Mir. Patterson at the com mencement exercises of the EScambia County High school at Atmore. where he stated that it is Alabama's impera- tive duty to provide ample educational facilities even if it is necessary to raise taxes.
 It would probably have sounded more natural from the lips of a public official if he had indorsed a program of more schools and less taxes. It is considered unlikely, however, that the people of the state will again entertain the idea that they can reduce income and at the same time increase expendi- lures.
 In connection with taxes and the problem of education, the following fig lres from Dr. John W. Abercrombie, superintendent of education, are inter esting
 "Of the AS states, Alabama ranks lowest in per capita income, lowest in per capita expenditures, lowest in ratio of expenditures to income and lowest in ratio of taxes to income" Dr. Aber- crombie stated. In 1920 the per cap ita expenditures of the various states for education ranged from S4.36 to S24.4G. Alabama's figure was $4.55, only two states ranking lower.
