FORNEY BACKS UP
 HIS RESOLUTION
MEMBER FROM SIXTH WARD SAYS TAX PUBLIC UTILITIES 3 PER CENT ON THEIR GROSS RE- cEIPTS.
Forney, an alderman from the

John c. Forney, an alderman from the Sixth ward. sent yesterday, before he left for Marion county. letter to other mem the subject of charging public utilities per cent on their gross receipts.
 In his letter to his colleagues on the board, Alderman Forney says:
 'I regret the chances are against my returning to the meeting of the commit tee Wednesday night. I have to attend circuit court at Hamilton. Marion coun- ty, Alabama.
 q am in earnest about my resolution providing for a charge of 3 per cent on the gross receipts of the public corpora tions of Birmingham.
 Suppose, for instance. the market value of your property was s1s,oOOOoo. and you returned it for sl,25O,000, thereby paying taxes on s1,25oOo0 only. Don't you know that is a plain and open way of keeping from the city dues that should be rem dered money that is due the city?
 You can't make that corporation which is worth s1e.oooOoO return its property to the state and county at its full value.
 "A reformation of commercial con science must occur to make this. But it should occur, and the same duty is owed to the city of Birmingham as Is owed to the state and county. eThere is a higher debt due Birming- ham. The city gave the corporations the foundation upon which their wealth is builded in fact, the franchise from the city is the whole structure of our public utilities.
 We need these corporations. but we need money.
 ''We have the power; there is right owned by the people. We should exercise the right, and start toward the point where we can make every public utility corporation pay full toll into the city treasury. Through my resolution this can be done
 "rhe resolution Is within spracticability No fair man will deny it if he has under standing of his own.
 Pass the resolution; then you need no' picture it, but you can realize nre oe- partment equal. If not superior to any IT | the south. a larger and more efncien' | police department; sprinkled streets ano bridges, lights that will turn night lnte day. and above all, for the merchants and followers of other occupations, release from the privilege tax or license which IS such a. burden. You will see stiii more good things. This town will be close te inc ideal. and can face the financial | world without deficit

R, I. CRANE TALKS
 OF LABOR PROBLEM Chicago Capitalist Says Labor
 Here is Unsatisfactory CRANE AND COMPANY
1t Will Enlarge Its Facilities Here Next Year-OfficaIs of the Com pany Give Dinner at the
 Country Club.

R. T. Crane, president of the Crane Hardware company of Chicago, which re- gently absorbed the Miner and Kettig company of this city. arrived in Birmns ham yesterday, accompanied by Mrs Crane and his son, c. R. Crane
 Last night both father and son were entertained at the Country club at a dinner given by the local officers and agents of the Crane company
 MT. Crane spent the day in inspecting the company's plant here and in d'scuss- ing with local officers subjects of Interest to the company.
 This is my first visit to Birmingham" !" said MT. Crane last night and l am glad to be here. l came down to examine the situation here at close range and to ascertain whether or not conditions justify ham plant. The growth of our business encourages us to increase our facilities, but we shall not do so immediately. In about year. however, we shall enlarge our business as conditions require.
 "The only difficulty now is the labor problem-the quantity and especially the quality of labor here. In both respects, labor here is unsatisfactory. There is not enough labor. and the quality of what there is here Is not as good as it should be. Its efficiency needs to be increased. This applies alike to skilled and unskilled labor, so far as I can judge.
 "I have been so busy with office work here today that I haven't had a chance to see Birmingham as whole What l have seen has pleased me, and tomor- row I shall take trip through the dis trict. examining the great industrial plants. Birmingham has the name throughout the country of being the most hustling city of the south and one of the coming great cities of the union. I feel that every one who has a chance to see what you have here will be con vinced of the great possibilities of the Birmingham district and agreeably sur prised by the remarkable progress 1t has l thus far made"

and I don't know with what difficulties the department had to contend, but I did see the Moore & Handley ire and it appeared to me that there was something wrong some where. Just where the fault lies and what remedy should be applied am not prepared to say.
 "I am heartily in favor of any logical plan to solve the problem and will vote for any measure that l think will afford us the relief that we seem to need so badly"
 Alderman Klotz:
 .I will certainly vote for any ordi- nance to increase the fire department at once. I believe that a special session of the city council should be called for the purpose of discussing this matter and taking immediate precautions.
 'I know that two fire insurance com panies have withdrawn from Birmingham within the past few days, and l fear that others are going to follow the lead. Even if they do not withdraw, they will raise inc insurance rates and the merchants will suffer again.
 isI cannot see the economy of allowing the merchants to suffer losses amount ing to hundreds of thousands of dollars every year because the city will not snend a few thousands for the necessary enuipment with which to fight the fires. ''l want tO SAy ifbhh 1hN' eii"N Nfi> Age-Herald is right, first. last and all ways. when 1t demands better fire pro- lection. I do not propose to let this mat ter rest any longer; At the next meet ing of the council. whether it be called or a regular meeting. l am going to secure an immediate action and l will not allow the matter to gor to com mittee if I can help'i it. We have delayed too long.
 '.I know that majority of the mem bers of the council favor increasing the department and I know that they will take the matter up at the next meeting. We will have to find the money some- where. borrow it if necessary. Alderman John O'Neill:
 q will vote for any ordinance to in- crease the department at once. It should be done and there should be no delay. There are many people too poor in the city to carry insurance and they should be protected. The merchants and business people demand sufficient fire protection. it is no longer merely matter of gett- ing the fire insurance rates decreased as per the agreement with the Southeastern Tariff association, but it is matter of protecting the people They pay taxes and are entitled to sufficient fire protection"

Albany, N r., November 2o.-Anoher phase of the Patrick case came before the court of appeals today when the attor- neys of the man who stands condemned for the murder of William M. Rice asked certain technical ruling which will facili- tate their appeal to the supreme court of the United States.
