Prohibition Drives Three Constitutional Amendments in Alabama
Governor Comer’s message to Alabama’s lawmakers flags slim prospects for three constitutional amendments, with only the prohibition measure seen as having a fair chance. He notes strong push to enforce prohibition and to repeal laws aiding locker clubs, while the commission form of city government faces likely defeat. The tax equalization law is praised as boosting assessments despite the panic, and railroad rate reforms are highlighted as beneficial to shippers and consumers.

Georgia's 1919 school appropriation limited at 2.6 million
The appropriation committee voted to raise the 1910 and 1911 school funds to 2.5 and 2.0 million, respectively, endangering revenue projections. Joe Hill Hall led opposition arguing the increase is reckless as no funds exist. The panel approved increasing 1911 to 2.6 million while leaving 1910 unchanged amid a stormy, compromise session.
