MED BRACE TALKS ABOUT THE FINANCIAL
 OUTLOOK AND OF RAILROAD FEATHERS

John ". Gates. who has just returned from Europe. announces that the pronts of himself and associates from the Louisville and Nashville deal amounted to nearly eighteen million dollars. Milton H. Smith, president of the Louisville and Nashville. is here. He will remain with the Louisville and Nashville in full charge just as heretofore. As a matter of fact, the Atlantic Coast Line only owns a majority of the stock. Consequently the road must be operated independently and will remain in the hands Of all the present officers. In the meantime there has been some controversy between the Southern and Louisville and Nashville people over the new lines the Louisville and Nashville Is building about Birming- ham, the Southern people claiming that the Louisville and Nashville Is invading their territory. This would seem to mean that the Southern does not absolutely control the Louisville and Nashville.
 By the way, the Tennessee company Is soon to build two or three new furnaces near Birmingham, appropriat1ng the funds received from the sale of the Sher- field furnaces for this purpose.

MT. LondOn's Charter Changes.

The best of the suggested changes in the city charter, offered by Candi- date London, if comparison be not odorous, is the one which aims to take the board of education out of politics. At present the school board which is supposed to care for the education of 6O00 children is liable to be football of city hall politics-mere prizes tossed about by ward politicians.
 MT. London proposes to make the members of the school board elective, the people to do the electing instead of handful of political manipulators. This is in accord with the primary movement, and with the trend of po- litical affairs throughout the country. The people are the safest repository of power this country possesses, as all experience shows, and nearly every city selects it's school board by popu- lar choice. MT. Londons plan should be accepted without opposition, and it is certain none will arise from the parents of children in the public schools.
 MT London also desires to have all fines collected in the police court paid directly to the school board as so much additional school revenue. He also proposes to take away from the mayor the power to remit fines unless the president of the board of education joins in the. act. These provisions would make the school system of Bir- mingham the best in the state, lifting it up to that of Mobile, which now receives the liquor license money, 7

Cenienarians Aho,!

The Moulton Advertiser has showed aside the text book issue and honest elections and all that, and now de- mands old-age pensions on this line:
 We want and shall insist on an old age pension law being passed by the next legislatures law that will bestow upon every man and woman, irrespective of color or previous condition, liberal pen sion in Alabama who has reached the age of one hundred years. We make this suggestion from a humanitarian standpoint. and we believe every philan- thropic soul in our grand old common wealth will respond to any movement that has such a holy purpose in view. There are not many men or women in Alabama who have reached such ripe should be well provided for during the re- mainder of their days. In this good work MT. Lynne will have an able assistant in the person of Hon. w. T. Lowe.
 When Messrs. Lynne and Lowe raise the centenary flag and call upon all humanitarians to rally around it who. indeed, will fail to respondl True. the succeeding legislature may amend the bill by adding monoarians, and the next one octonarians, and so on until all are pensioned, and then of course all would be served alike and there would be no one to complain except a few old misers who had grab bed more than their share of good things anyway. This is more social istic even than David Bennett Hilrs hard coal plank, but what is socialism between friends and neighbors in a remarkably homogeneous state. We wish the Advertiser well. Let it keep its flag flying over its new-laid issue.
 As presented at present it would not cover more than dozen persons in the state, not counting the ebony in. dividuals who have no proof as to when they were born. If all are to be pensioned who stand ready to swear they are one hundred years old, the state would be banHupted, but

HUNTSVILLE AND BIRMINGHAM.

From the Huntsville Tribune.
 The Tribune does not intend to hold up on the subject of the railroad through the mineral field, via Oneonta direct to Birmingham. Huntsville must be saved. The existing conditions appeal for action, we can not afford to finger, but must be up and doing. There is an old truism swhere there is will there is a way" There is a way if Huntsville will move in the matter. This road would enhance values in our city two million dollars. It would offer opportunities for new in- dustries. We would become the iron manufacturing center of the Tennessee valley. Cheap transportation, cheap ore, cheap fuel would be at our command. Do not go off and say let some one else lead let some one else produce the re- suit. but take hold of the enterprise and push so that Huntsville might be saved. Cheap steam coal is what we most need. This would be furnished by this sec tion for nominal rates. the finest coal on earth for steam purposes. What saw ing, what a blessing for Huntsville 1t would prove. One iron furnace would send the old city on the road of pro- gress and prosperity at a whizzing gait which would catch the eye of the world. Let us revive the old spirit of progress. Sound the bugle, blow the horn, bring out the advance guard. The chamber of commerce will convene Monday night. Let every citizen of our city attend this meeting and do his duty.

0raanIzed Labor,s Carnival.

There are 10000 union workers in Alabama, and 25,O00 of these are in this district. The latter number in cludes 14.o0O miners. The Birming- ham Trades Council alone embraces forty-four local organizations, and fully 5000 union men.
 It is this army of workers that is preparing to hold trades carnival on Second avenue, beginning on the day the State fair is closed. These men are not organizing public entertain. ment simply as a diversion or for healths sake, but they desire to swell the fund that is to be expended in the building of a Labor Temple that shall be fit and adequate home in this district for union workers. It is pro posd to build such home or rally ing point at an expense of about $40,- 900, and surely the organized labor  of this district is entitled to home of fine proportions. For these men are the foundation upon which our pros perity rests, and they should have here a proper house. It is hoped the coming carnival will add not a little to the building fund.
 The carnival will not be a street fair in the ordinary meaning of the phrase, for 1t will not include single thing that will bring a blush to any womans cheek, or that any child should not see. Especial care has been taken in this respect, and yet it will be full of spectacular and even thrilling scenes. It will in other words be interesting, although whole some. W
 This district of all others should encourage and assist it's wage earners in an effort to build here a Labor Temple. They need such building, and Birmingham needs the presence of the toilers in shop and mine. They have, in fact, created this district, and the district should turn out in tho carnival week and give them big boost in their effort to put up here trade building-the second in the United States to rise from the foun- datioa. Many other cities have pur- chased buildings, but the building here will be wholly new and wholly good.

Tax Values in the State.

Jefferson county Is now trying to pay one-sixth of state taxation, in- stead of one-seyenth. Just how far Jefferson can carry its tax-paying spe- cialty, is not known, but there seems to be no opposition in other counties to free action on it's part in this re- spect. No county seems to be jealous of Jeffersons tax-paying capacity Madison and Mobile show increases in tax values approaching million dol lars each, and Cullman presents an increase of over $600000, but Gull. mans gain is in good part Blount's loss of territory. The total increase in the state is nearly eleven million dollars, Jefferson contributing nearly third of it.
 The losses are, however, more to the purpose. Blount's loss has already been explained, but in year of high prosperity why should thirteen other counties show losses? Why should barbour show loss of s212,354, and Lowndes loss of s115,337? It is not probable that either Barbour or Lowndes is worth one cent less this year than it was last year. The chances are that neither county could be purchased by land syndicate as cheaply this year as it could have been purchased last year, assuming

Coal .cars.

This is prosperous year with coal operators, in spite of the fact that they are seriously handicapped by car short age," said an official of a large corpor- ation. If the railroads could only keep us supplied with cars we would get out a great deal more coal than we do, and consequently make more money.
 Two years ago the transportation com panies begaa to place orders for addi- tional equipment, but prosperity came with such rush that 1t was impossible for them to get locomotives and cars fast enough to keep up with the rapid in- crease in traffic. The Southern and the other big companies have more engines and more cars than had year ago, but they need many more right now"

Light Needed.

Strange as 1t may seem, 1t is fact that the city gives us no light at our most crowded street intersection. Twentieth and First avenue" said an old merchant doing business on First avenue, near Twentieth. aThe only light at the point mentioned is supplied by the corner stores and the fruit stands. There should be a brilliant light at Twentieth and First from nightfell until daylight. Birming- ham is metropolitan in most respects, and 1t is all the more remarked that the city fathers have neglected in the matter of illumination the street intersection of all others most frequented.

Health of Birminuham.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat says that Birmingham is one of the ten leading typhoid cities in the country. the other nine being Pitts burg, Minneapolis, Alleghany City, Kansas City. Louisville, Washington, Columbus, O., Houston and Atlanta Let us see what truth lies behind the charge.
 In Birmingham last year 3S deaths were caused by typhoid fever out of 41,000 population. The exact percent age was 927, or less than one per 1000 population. The other cities that exceeded this rate were in order, Pittsburg, YoungstoWn,O Alleghany Pa, Johnstown, Pa. Birmingham and. New Haven come out next, nearly tied for fifth place.
 Not a city in the list of 137 cities. each containing 30,000 or more people. escaped the ravages of the disease, although in some the percentage per 1000 population was reduced to near ly one-tenth of one per cent, but Rockford, Ill, and Savannah, Ga, were the only ones that reached a lesser percentage than one-tenth of one per cent.
 Birmingham's high percentage in this respect should not be shirked or obscured in any manner. We had last year percentage of nine-tenths of one per cent, when we should have had not exceeding three-tenths of one per cent. The other six-tenths should be explained in order that they may not be repeated. It is no doubt part Iy due to cases brought here for treat explained by Dr. Mason in a card published elsewhere.
 Birmingham has no place in the list of ten towns afflicted with malarial levers, or scarlet fever, or diptheria, or tuberculosis, or cancer, but the name of this city heads the list of those afflicted with pneumonia, our percentage per 1000 population being 4.39, and the nearest approach to this percentage being that of Troy, N. Y,
 Birmingham is free enough from all destructive diseases, typhoid fever and pneumonia alone excepted; and if our doctors would explain why our percentages in these two respects are SO high we might be able to find some remedies that would cut such per centages down to reasonable figures.

 was told today by one on terms of business intimacy with J. Pierpont Mol gan that the king of finance had lately become very sensitive to newspaper criti. eism, and especially because of the car toons in which he has recently figured. In talking about the matter he said the newspapers had practically characterized him a criminal He added that he had more than twice as much money as he could ever make use of. and that he only desired to aid in the general npbuilding of the country.
 As a matter of fact, I was told today that J. P. Morgan is personally worth exceeding $200000,0OO His natural income is about s10.000,000 annually, an amount so great that he cannot possibly spend it. He is apparently the controlling power of this country. The highest government officials come to consult him on all kinds of matters, yet he has his troubles, and many of them He is a slave to work and apparently an unhappy man.
