BENEFIT OF LOCAL TAX

"The state of Alabama is just now I'M
dergoing an awakening In educational
matters that augurs we'll for the future
said Prof. w. II. Bowen of Ensley yes
terday.
"sfnee resIgning the experimenting Of
the Ensley public schools a few months
ago on account of Ill health, have been
representing a school supply house and
in this work have been brought in close
touch with the schools of the state and
have had an opportunity to study condi-
tions.
1.-THE attendance In all the schools ana
colleges both in the cities and in the
country districts, is larger than ever be-
fore and there is a strong and growing
tendency to improve the buildings and
school furnishings. More interest Is also
being taken in securing efficient teachers.
"There Is a general cry all over the
state for more room and especially is this
true in the public schools in the cities
and towns Larger and finer school build
ings are being provided everywhere.
1.-The local school tax provided for by
the last legislature and which has been
authorized by vote of the people In
most of the counties of the state, has
done a great deal to stimulate interest
In educational work and I hope to see
the stimulus grow until the state is shaken
from end to end by educational enthu-
siasm. I am sure that 1t is coming.

MERGING OF TENN.
And REPUBLIC COS.
INCREASE IN CAPT.
TAI STocK-PRICE TO BE PAID
FOR REPUBLIC COMMON STOCK.
MONEY FOR DEVELOPMENT.

The Wall Street Journal says:
While no statement of an official char
acter as to the purposes of the additional
$40. 100000 common stock of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company has been given
out. It is understood that the interests of
the two companies are counting on using
50, 900, 900 or 100000 of the new issue for
the purchase of majority of the common
stock of the Republic Iron and Steel
company.
1t would require more than $12,OO0,O0O to
acquire all the common stock of the Re-
public, but 1t is figured that some Of
the holders will be disinelned to surren-
der their stock. Through control of the
stock the Tennessee Coal and Iron COM
pany will become the dominating influence
in the affairs of the Republic company.
The Tennessee Coal and Iron stock
will probably be issued on a basis of par.
In other words 500 100000 will be realized
through its sale. After the common stock
of the Republic has been acquired there
will remain balance of say $4,000. 900,
which will give the Tennessee company
a. BE WI hiils CaliAoi anu IhiNS O. I'm
Portable sum for extensions.
The corporation has spent only small
percentage of the 100000 provided for
last spring through an additional issue
of stock which brought the common up
from $2S, 600, 600 to sSO00O,0O0 The extension
work will require more money than ORR
ginally proposed and hence the necessity
of raising additional cash.
From the best information obtainaple
the common stock of the Republic will
be taken over by the Tennessee company
on basis between $40 and $50 The ex-
act figure will be decided upon at confer
ences to be held in the near future The
underwriting of the new Tennessee conf
pany stock has already been arranged,
and there will be no opposition to the in
crease when the stockholders are called
upon to ratify the plan.
The Tennessee Coal and Iron company
has not yet developed as pronounced an
earning power as the Republic, but Its
assets from a standpoint of ore and coal
supplies are far larger than in the case
of the Republic.
The net earnings of the Republic Steel
borhood of 100000 year. and the earn
ings of the Tennessee are considerably
less However, the Tennessee company
is credited with an ore supply under
ground of between 5oO,oOO,ooO to 1,OOO.0 Oo,0 eco
tons.
The Tennessee Coal and Iron company
is making extensions which will give 1t
a steel rail capacity close to 100000 tons a
year besides increasing the output of its
various other products. Indications are
that after these extensions are completed
1t will have larger earning power than
the Republic Iron and Steel company
There yet remains to be paid In back
dividends on the preferred stock of tho
Republic Steel company per cent. These
arrears will in all probability be satisfied
before control passes to the Tennessee.
The following table compares some of
the leading items of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron company and the Republic Iron
and Steel company at the close OF their
fiscal years:

New Law Probable.

1.-THE next legislature will devote some
time and thought to the further improve
ment of the school system of the state
and a bill providing for some sort of
local taxation for school equipment may
be considered
II see no reason why each school district
cannot be allowed to assess a small tax
for good school building just as the
counties can provide a tax for the build
ing of court houses. Such a provision
may require change of the constitution,
but in my opinion such thing would
be of inestimable value to the state. Good
school buildings are an inspiration and
an incentive to the improvement of the
system all along the lines
