GONE 10 GRASS!


Birmingham iron has been run In the
ground at last. THIS has been predicted
by, The eastern Irenmakers for several
years. A Birmingham ironmaster rel
ceived an enquiry yesterday from GerA
many for $4,000 tons of pig iron high in
phosphorus. The per centage of phos-
phorus demanded is SO high that it is
doubtful if the order can be filed. The
Germans extract the phosphorus and use
it as fertilizer. Birmingham iron is
causing grass to grow in Germany! The
Germans are smarter than we are. Their
natural resources lie in their heads and
not in the ground. 1t has been said all
along that the high phosphorus in -Bir-

He arose and cordially welcomed his Wis

always remember him kindly for it. In

DOES IT DrscRmrNArE7

The question of calling q constitutional
convention is very much In doubt. A
large majority of people want a conven-
ton, but how and when to get 1t is the
stumbling-block. The prevailing senti-
ment seemssto be that we have waited too
g.-Montgomery Advertiser
If a large majority of the people want
a constitutional convention it would seem
that 1t would be an easy matter for the
legislature to reach a conclusion of when
and how to get 1t. Only half of the ses-
sion has expired, and with the commit
tees busy at work investigating leading
matters for general and special legisla-
tion 1t ought not be necessary to devote
a whole half session to the discussion of
these matters.
In the discussion of the constitutional
convention with Representative Troup. Of
Morgan, recently, he remarked that
the people of the state do not appreciate
the fact that there are cities and COM
munities in Alabama whose progress has
been materially retarded on account of
their inability to protect their interests
by local taxation in excess of that al
lowed by the constitution. In some in
stances citizens have been forced to come
to the rescue to protect the credit of cit
les where the taxation was not sufficient
to protect the interest on their bonds
Public schools have been forced to close
and various other Inconvenience sus-
tanned that could have been avoided, and
with satisfaction to the local tax payer,
had the law allowed them that privilege.
any recollection is" said Mr. Troup,
that Montgomery and Mobile are ex-
empts from the tax rate restriction ana
are allowed under the constitution to
levy an increase tax to protect their
schools and other matters of a local ma
ture When the constitution was framed
those were the acknowledged cities OF
the state and the building up of num-
Der of cities as large ard larger than
Mobile and Montgomery were at that
time, was not contemplated, hence no
provision was made"
If Mr.. Troup IS correct, this is a dis
elimination within itself that requires
adjusting, to say nothing of the many
other changes needed
While other cities in the state have no
objection to Montgomery and Mobile en-
joying this constitutional right, yet 1t
would be only fair that they join hand
and glove with the other cities which are
Justly entitled to it and would appreciate
such privilege.
There is plenty of time for the calling
of constitutional convention, and with
the able men who compose the legislature
the State Herald believes they will re-
spect the demands, as the Advertiser &C
knowledges, of "a large majority of the
people," on this question.
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1897-01-14

Speaking of the school bill an ex-mem-
Der of the legislature expresses DOUBT
as to it's constitutionality. The consti-
1ution gives the legislature power to levy
q state tax, county tax, and municipal
TAX, but not a school tax. The tax can
be levied and collected and then ap-
propriated to the schools. but cannot be
levied as a specific school tax. On the
other hand there is a clause in the con-
stitution that seems to grant the leg
islature the power to levy'a school tax.
This clause says the school appropria-
ton shall "be not less than 100000 per
annum, as the general assembly shall
provide by taxation or otherwise" The
phrase "by taxation" seems to grant the
power of levying a tax for school pur-
noses

A Washington special to the Globe
Democrat of Sunday says: According
10 an Ohio congressman, Mr.. Mckinley
intends to follow the plan of President
Arthur and throw the responsibility of
making local appointments upon the rep
resentatives and state appointments
upon the senators. When three or four
applications for a particular Office came
10 Washington with their recommended
lions Mr. Arthur would send them. to
their representative and require them to
decide which should have it. If the Of
fetal was to exercise jurisdiction over
more than one district candidates were
sent to the senators from the state, and if
they came from democratic district and
state where there were no republican
senators and representatives. Mr.. Arthur
would refer the matter to the chairmen
of the republican committees. He took
the ground that members of congress
were the representa- tives of the people,
and that their acquaintance, association
and experience In their several districts
qualified them to make selections fer Of
flee better than he. who was an entire
stranger to the wants and conditions Of
the people. If 1t was poor appointment
he could hold the representative respon-
sible to the people of the district and re-
quire him to name another man."

1t is interesting to note that the aggre-

year were considerably more than half
the amount involved by the business fail

years of largest business disaster the
losses were only $50, 900 900 in excess of
