MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 1.-Tennes-
sees novel plan by which it proposes
to float 100000 of deficit bonds by
having the banks throughout the State
take them on an allotment basis Is near
ing success. It Is expected that the
remaining 50, ,000, 900 still unpledged will
be taken care of within the next week,
so that the State will face the second
half Of the year with clean slate.
Campaigns second only in importance
to the repeal campaign now under way
have been conducted by State oficials
and groups Of friendly bankers for the
last month. Group meetings of bankers
have been held and pleas made to them
to take their share of the bonds and
thus save the credit Of the State.
The success of the deficit issue Is
necessary for two reasons, first because
1t will release 100000 to the schools
Of the State, and it will wipe out all OF
the States floating debt, permitting the
Governor to put into effect the new
economy budget Of the recent Legisla-
ture.
Endanger Credit Structure.
The plan to have the banks Of each
county absorb as many bonds as the
county had due in funds from the
State was hit upon after the banks in
Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga and
Knoxville did not sponsor a plan to
borrow the money from the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation. This failure
followed an appeal by the Governor
with the prediction that the States
credit was in the balance, and that the
entire credit structure would be en-
dangered.
About $4,000, 900 of the issue will 60
to the retirement Of obligations held by
contractors and business firms that have
the last two years. The Legislature,
after an exhaustive study, Topped of
around 40 per cent from the cost Of
government 1t was decided to wipe out
the debts up to July / by the deficit
bond issue, so that the treasury might
start on that date with a balanced
budget The assurance that the budget
would remain balanced was fortified by
a special provision Of the law giving
the Governor authority to make further
reductions if at any time it appears
that the outcome Is greater than the
income.
Take Up Repeal Issue.
With the deficit out of the way, the
people throughout the State will take
up again the approaching prohibition
campaign with the election July 20.
1t will be the first time the voters
have passed directly on prohibition
since 1887. An indirect vote was taken
IS years ago when former Senator Ed
ward w. Carmack, running as State
wide prohibitionist, was defeated for the
Democratic nomination for Governor by
Malcolm r. Patterson. Mr.. Carmack
lost the nomination, but his adherents

has appointed IS new county school
boards, who are to manage within their
county borders, all schools, school
buildings and properties, which hitherto
have been managed by approximately
300 magisterial and city Independent
district school boards. Gov. Kump
sponsored the new system, not only be-
cause of large economies that might be
effected by having fewer boards, but
because local revenues have been so re-
duced by new constitutional tax
limitation amendment, that it became
necessary for the State, by new in
direct taxation, to raise the necessary
funds. Since the State is to provide
the funds, the Governor thought the
State should have direct control over
the schools.
Another act of the extraordinary
session of the Legislature stood the
constitutional test in the Supreme
Court. which ruled a few days ago that
the State has power to issue SIS 900 900
in bonds to pay casual deficit. Is
suance of the bonds was authorized by
the Legislature a few weeks ago to
help pay off the States $4,000 900
deficit. Taxpayers took the case to
court in a friendly action to have its
constitutionality passed on. The Su-
preme Court held that the deficit was
casual; that it had been created with
out intent and that the act of the
Legislature was for the purpose oe
safeguarding the States credit.
Industries Pick Up.
There has been steady pickup Of
business in West Virginia's industries
since April /. At Charleston the
Owens-I Illinois Glass plant put 700
men to work manufacturing beer bot
ties. day and night shifts being en-
gagged. Two hundred houses that had
been vacant since the plant closed two
years ago are now occupied Several
OF the larger industrial plants of the
kanawha Valley. including the du
Pont ammonia plant at Belle and the
Carbide & Carbon Chemicals Ccrpo-
ration, at South Charleston, have, in
creased their forces. Around Wheeling
and at Weirton steel mills have been
putting on men and at Parkersburg,
Clarksburg and Follansbee the fac
tories are putting men to work. the
State labor commissioner has reported.
The West Virginia coal industry has
assumed hopeful attitude and is ex-
pecting better prices for their products
as soon as their central selling agencies
begin to function. Operation of these
agencies, two of which have been or
ganized, are somewhat at a standstill.
pending the adoption of a joint code
of ethics by two distinct coal fields,
in pursuance of President Roosevelts
requirements in conformity with the
national industrial recovery act.

captured the Legislature, and in 1909
1t enacted a State wide bill which, In
spite of subsequent amendment and
tighter restrictions, is still the basic
prohibition law of Tennessee.
Tennessee will vote for SO delegates,
Z from each congressional district
but they will be elected from the State
at large. This was q victory for the
repealists who defeated the anti-re-
pealists bill to elect delegates on the
basis Of legislative representation. The
result Of this will be that the large
repeal vote in Nashville, Chattanooga
and Memphis is expected to Offset the
probable rural dry vote so overwhelm-
ingly that the repealists will carry the
State by q handsome majority.
Two Political Leaders.
The repeal election has brought two
interesting political leaders to the front
again. former Gov. John I. Cox Of
Bristol and former Senator John X.
Shields of Clinchdale. both from the
first district. Mr.. Cox, now rs, is ac-
lively on the stump as repeal candi-
date. Senator Shields, at IS. is
also q repeal candidate, though he
debating in West Tennessee with
former Representative William D. Up
shaw Of Georgia, the national prohibi-
ton candidate for President last year.
An interesting angle Of the repeal
campaign Is that none Of the Senators
and Representatives from Tennessee
Is taking any active part. All Of
the Democrats except Representatives
Cooper and Browning from West Ten
nessee supported the repeal amend
ment in Congress, as well as the beer
bill. Senator McKellar has long sup
ported dry measures, both in Congress
and in the State. He has made no
statement of his position in the pres
ent campaign.
Memphis Is Wettest.
It is expected that Memphis will re-
turn the largest repeal majority, not
only because it Is the largest voting
unit in Tennessee. but also because 1t
is the wettest Representative Crump,
the Memphis political leader, Is an out
and out wet. and so are the city and
county organizations, both under the
political domination of Mr.. Crump.
The repeal majority in Memphis may
reach $4,000 or 10000.
Tennessee requires the payment of a
poll tax by all persons between 81 and
so as prerequisite to voting. This
must be the poll tax of the preceding
year However. the repeal act permits
the use of 1881 receipts in the July 20
election. This is another turn of the
cards in favor Of the repealists, since
the 1881 poll tax receipt was used in
the general election last November, and
there are tens Of thousands of them
still in possession of the voters. Other
wise, an off year such as this is in
Tennessee. would find small percent
age Of the poll taxes paid.

BIRMINGHAM. Ala. July Con
tinuation of the industrial pickup and
approach of the election July 18 on
prohibition repeal and State consti-
tutional amendments providing for an
income tax and a debt-refunding bond
issue hold the attention Of Alabamians
as July comes in.
It is estimated that 10000 unem-
ployed workers have been called back
to jobs for the early part Of July.
Most of these are in Birmingham,
where Tennessee Coal, Iron & Rail-
road Co., subsidiary of United States
Steel, is making preparations to blow
in two more blast furnaces and five
open hearth furnaces, as well as to
increase the output of its coal and ore
mines and to open the large rail mill
at Ensley the second week OF July for
a run Of at least three weeks
The Sloss-Sheff1eld Steel & Iron Co.
is blowing In IN additional furnace in
the Birmingham district. A number
of smaller plants are. also reopening
to join the march back to prosperity
that was begun in this State by the
textile industry and cement plants.
Repeal Vote Watched.
Alabama is conscious of the fact
that the eyes of the Nation will be
turned this way July 18, when the
State becomes the first. in the South
with the exception of Arkansas, which
votes the same day. to express its con-
victions on repeal of the eighteenth
amendment. Both repeal and anti
repeal forces have completed their
campaign organizations, which ramify
into every precinct Of the State, and
whatever the outcome is, 1t will at
least thoroughly reflect the States
opinion on prohibition.
The campaign on repeal Is being
more or less quietly COM

APPROVES APPEALS
IN CIVIL SERVICE
Commission President 0. KS Tri-
bunal to Hear Complaints
of Workers.

The way was paved for putting into
operation the first Court Of Appeals"
in the Government service when the
machinery for the new tribunal to hear
complaints Of Civil Service Commission
employees was approved today by the
president of the commission, Harry B.
Mitchell.
The commission organization. to be
known as the Cancellation Committee,
is expected to serve as model in other
Federal agencies which may adopt the
plan for these informal bodies to settle
internal problems.
The Treasury Department already Is
arranging to put this scheme into oper-
alton. and it is felt that other branches
will fall in line. for. while the step is
entirely optional. it has the backing Of
President Roosevelt.
The commission committee Is COM
posed of three employees and three su-
pervisory officers and Is headed by
John @. Cannon, an examiner. Any
employe with a grievance may present
it to the committee. Appeals from
the committee may be taken to the
commissions Board of Appeals and Re-
view, which heretofore has limited its
dealings entirely either to applicants
or eligibles for employment and princi-
pally in connection with ratings. The
commission itself will be the court of
last resort.
The plan was devised by President
Mitchell after a study OF the system
in vogue in England. where civil en-
ployeS are subject to a similar pro-
cedure. In its present stage it is more
or less Of a tryout and, if successful,
will be urged on Congress as a perma-
nent measure
Employees have long urged that some
sort of appellate tribunal be set up and
in recent years the commission like
wise has recommended this.
