IN THE BIRMINGHAM
REAL ESTATE MARKET

During the past week the local real
estate market has been in splendid con-
dition." said one of the local real estate
agents yesterday afternoon.
There was not a single day In the
week that the market was not active
This activity is, however, confined almost
entirely to trading in residence property
but this line of property is drawing very
good prices in all parts of the city. Ac-
tivity in the business portion Is still
lacking on account of the shortage of the
supply.
1.-The largest thing In the way of trading
In residence property of the week was the
purchase of sixty acres of land by the
birmingham Realty company from the
I.akeview Land company. The property
as | understand, is located in the near
vicinity of the Country club Although
most of the property is in an unimproved
condition, | have no doubt that the Bir-
mingham Realty company will improve
all of il before Ii is put on the market
as was Norwood.

GETTING RID OF GUESTS.
Originality illustrated in Story Told
by Gen. Wistar.

The late Gen. Isaac J. Wistar of Phil
adelphia-it was after his family that the
Wistaria wine was named-had a multi
tude of anecdotes that he could draw on
when he desired to score point or to
illuminate an idea. says the Washington
Post General Wistar was for number
of years the president of the Pennsyl-
vania Academy of Natural Sciences. At
one of the academy's meetings rather
old and original method of reaching the
north pole was suggested. OF this meth
cd the president said, smiling:
Doubtless in that way the pole might
be reached, but what an original way Of
getting there it would be- 1t reminds
me of the way two San Francisco friends
of mine once took to get rid OF some
guests.
These guests came to spend the even
ing, and didn't know when to depart. MY
friends were patient with them, very pa
tient. but when H. IL. and finally O'Clock
struck the husband realized that some
thing must be done He was an Original
chap. and, in his original way, ne looked
at his wife and said mildly:
my dear, hadn't we better get up 10
bed? Our friends may want TO De go

COL, benson FAVORS
RATE LEGISLATION
Thinks There viii Be No Cause for
Conflict Between State and Fed
era Governments.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
1t is manifest those who are opposing
law of Congress to confer power upon
the Interstate commerce commission to
fix the rates and fares to be charged by
the formidable railroad companies engaged
in the transportation of Interstate COM
MERGE are basing their opposition upon
a most specious and weak basis. Driven
from their contention that Congress had
not the constitutional power to enact
such law they now resort to tactics OF
alarming the masses by declaring such a
law will arouse sectional rivalries, or that
any imperil the interrelations OF federal
and state authority.
There can be no conflict between fed
eral and state authority as to rates
charged for transporting inter-statelcom-
merce. The constitution of the United
States and laws enacted in pursuance
thereof are the supreme law OF the land
The constitution comforting plenary
power on Congress to fix such rates on
such commerce the states never had any
mower or authority to fix such rates ana
fares.
Goods shipped over a railroad from At
lanta or from San Francisco to Birming-
ham continues to be Interstate commerce
free from the authority of the state to
adjust or fix the rate until 1t ceases to
be Interstate commerce by delivery at
Birmingham. If after such delivery the
I consignee desires to ship the goods TO
| Gadsden 1t Is then internal state COM
merce and the Legislature of the state
may fix the rates for transporting such
goods from Birmingham to Gadsden, and
Congress has no power to interfere in
any manner with such regulations.
| 1t is a legal impossibility to imperil the
! interreations between federal and state
authority in this matter, because the con-
stitutional inhibitions that limit the au-
thority of each government to its own
sphere is too well defined to arouse any
such peril
How can such law of Congress awaken
and arouse section rivalries, when the
demand for such law comes from every
state in the union? If Wall street, the
great railroad corporations, and the mag
mates. ]. ]. Hill, Pierpont Morgan. Gould

and Hartman, constitute a section of
the United States. Then there will, and
do now, exist sectional rivalries.
This rivalry embraces the purpose Of
this small segment of avaricious oppres-
sors to continue their mastering over the
resources and industries of the country
in laying oppressive and outrageous
charges upon the people enriching them
selves by lawlessness and defiance of the
public welfare, against President Roose-
welt and his supporters in their effort to
regulate such charges and protect the
people of this country against their ne
farious practices and purposes.
Some have become quite sensitive as to
the disturbance of the harmony between
federal and state authority, and 1t is
best, from their standpoint, to allow the
freebooters to continue their pilage and
oppression of the people than to awaken
their rivalry or cause them, in order to
perpetuate their lawless career. to over
ride the law and thereby disturb the
ancient harmony between the federal and
state governments
Wait, wait, oh patient and oppressed
people, don't do anything to protect your
Selves although you have the constitu-
tonal power, because you will offend
those self-constituted masters and they
will turn against you and arouse Sec
tonal rvalries and disturb the harmony
of the country. This Is the appeal
1t is true this is government of law,
and through legal and constitutional
measures the people with the President
in the lead are trying to secure protec-
ton against the railroads engaged In
transporting Interstate commerce from
continuance of their laying arbitrary.
unjust and discriminating rates and
charges for their services.
Are these great institutions and the
financial autocrats that control them for
their own gain observing the law and
/, regarding the fundamental principles OF
the organic law of the land In their mad
rush for money and power?
Do any of the assailants of the consti-
tutional power OF Congress to enact such
a law. or who assert the unwisdom of
such law discuss or assail the conduct
of these great common carrier in their
imperious and arbitrary conduct In laying
such lawless tribute upon the people?
Do they offer the people any remedy
against such? None: but advise them to
lie STILL say nothing, and continue to be
exploited by these ravenous wolves. and
| IL anybody says for you to do different
| from what we advise, that man Is dema-
gogue is stirring up strife is misleading
YOU is your enemy and don't you trust
| him.
Roosevelt, In their opinion is playing
| the demagogue, and all his followers. and
the masses should distrust them as public
enemies. and their covert insinuations

charge.
| In the opinion of those who oppose this
action of Congress such enactment
will ruin the industrial and commercial
| life of the country and they go so far
as to assert patriotic citizens will see to
1t that they are not swept from their
mornings by ill-advsed agitation on the
part of persons who have neither The
intelligence nor the capacity to solve
| rightly a great constitutional problem in
volving as 1t does not only the industrial
and commercial prosperity of the country,
but also some of the fundamental prin-
| ciples of free, orderly constitutional gov
eminent"
| Here is a direct charge that any, who
oppose the opinions of those champions
| of the railroads and have constituted
themselves as the fountain and reservoir
of all knowledge, are traitors fools, and
| incapable to solve the fundamental prin-
ciples of free constitutional government.
| Such assumacy, such gaseous bloat Is
! disgusting, especially when not one of
! them can point out any violation of fun
damental constitutional principles or
| truthfully assert any such action on the
| part of Congress will in the least impigne
upon or disturb any constitutional state
authority.

critics of the people. My antagonists it
asserts are but traitors, fools and dema-
| gogues."
/ No doubt these vain gentry believe they
/ ARE the people and all wisdom shall die
with them" But the people have under
| standing as well as they. and they are not
| inferior to, but far superior, to this vain
| gentry in common sense and practical
| judgment.
| The illustrations of some of those gentle
| men as to the unwisdom of such an act
| Of Congress are not wanting in clear
manifestation of an imperious necessity
l for them to look further into this question
before they commence to lay down tfeir
dctrinaire theories to control the people.
| The people want to be guided by COM
mon sense and not by the fanciful and in
| tangible theories of the doctrinaire.
There are two kinds of demagogues In
the land. The demagogue who represents
| or allies himself with special privileges and
presents his intangible and fantastic state
ments, not facts, as reasons why the en-
ioyers of special privileges should not be
disturbed in their lawless career; and
another kind of demagogue who resorts
| to the same tactics as the first but for
an opposite purpose.
| The first of this kind seems to be
| Furnishing just at the present. and are
| employing all their gifts to maintain the
assumed special privileges Of the rail-
roads against the peonle.

Local building circles during the past
