NEW BANKING IDEAS
MANY new PROJECTS SUB
MITTED TO CORTELYOl.
Grouped Under Four Heads, Central
Bank of Issue, centralize Existing
National Banks, Issue More Money
Against Other Than u. S. Bonds,
Also on General Assets Secured.

Details of many new projects for i'm
proving the currency are being sub
mitted to the president and Secretary
Corteiyou, and are receiving such at
tention as the other exigencies of the
financial situation permit. Secretary
Cortelyou is good listener, and usual
ly digests quickly essential parts Of the
various plans which are submitted to
him.
Measures relating to the currency,
which are being discussed among
bankers and incoming members of con-
gress, may be roughly grouped under
four heads, central bank OF issue, a
central organization of the existing ma
tiOnal banks, the issue Of additional
circulation against various classes of
bonds other than United States bonds,
and the issue of circulation upon gen
eral assets with the security Of guar
anty fund.
| The project OF central bank based
| upon general outlines of the Bank OF
France or the Imperial Bank of Ger
many has apparently been attracting
| more attention Of late than any pre-
yious time in recent years. Senator
Hansbrough Of North Dakota, who is a
member Of the finance committee, has
announced that he will introduce bill
for such an institution.
MIR. Wexler, vice president OF the
| Whitney Central National bank Of New
Orleans, is openly in favor Of cen
trail bank, and says that the New Or
leans press, taught by the strain of
the cotton situation, is generally with
| him.
Those who favor central bank
point to the recent crisis as the best
evidence OF the aid which it could have
afforded had 1t been in operation
Their view is that the national banks
would have been able to rediscount
1 their paper at such an institution and
obtain its note to an amount necessary
| to relieve the strain. It. is considered
somewhat significant. in some quarters

the currency, has just declared for a

has a plan which he is advocating
when he Is invited to deliver a public
address ON the subject.
It is so long since a central bank
existed, Or was even seriously dis
cussed in the United States, that there
is much difference of opinion as tc
the details of the organization. Those
who advocate it generally insist, how.
ever, that the secretary OF the treas.
ury and the comptroller of the cur.
rency should be ex-officio members OF
the board of directors and that the
president should appoint OF approve
the selection of the head of the bank.

of the community seem to be prosper
Gus and spending more freely than ever
before. Three features with bearing
upon the future are labor, prices and
money. Scarcity of the first, thereby
favoring further insistent demands,
and the higher tendency of the second,
may push matters to point where
production and consumption alike
might be checked. The strain in money
"a worldwide condition, perhaps, but
one felt. here most, because prosperity
has been so pronounced-seems to
have so far only brought small meas
ure of conservatism. In the absence
of now unforeseen happenings, very
large, if not record, years business
seems within reach, modified as it may
be by the effects of the forces above
named and the crop developments of

The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1907-01-01
Southern Prosperity.

By using the lists of assessed values
and by assuming that they represent
but 40 per cent of true values the Man
ufacturers' Record reaches the conclu-
sion that the property of the south is
today worth SIS, 400, 100000, as against
6,160, 600 900 in 1860. 1t puts the in
crease in real waltz in the south in
1906 at $2,S56,956 ,158, or at the rate of
$3.50, 900 day, including Sundays ana
holidays
These figures cannot be successfully
disputed. The south Is emphatically
prosperous, and that prosperity begins
to be felt in material appreciation of
southern lands. Farms that once went
a-begging at IS an acre are now worth
many times that price.
True, we lack labor. We need more
white farmers, more white laborers,
both skilled and unsllilled. This is our
peculiar drawback, for car shortages
are as prevalent in one section as in
another. They exist in all states. They
are like the poor, ever with us. Money
rates, too, may be high, but We can
laugh at both if we can find way to
meet and solve the labor problem, for
when we do that out untitled lands will
come into use, and our prosperity will
go on unchecked.
The south will become the richest
section of this country if it can be
filled with white men--white men from
the older states-whte men from Eu
rope-white men from anywhere and
everywhere Only one-third of the
south is cultivated, and We need there
fore immigration on a great scale. We
really need a million of immigrants a
year, but if we can get one-tenth OF
that number the wealth of the south
will go on increasing until it becomes
the most desirable and prosperous part
of the entire country.

Railroad Mileage.

If labor shortage and scarcity of rails
had not extended throughout the year
just ended its aggregate of track would
have exceeded COST miles, although
that is a total that has not been
equaled in any calendar year since
1888. Fully twothirds of the new
mileage was laid west of the Missis-
sippi river Texas easily leads all the
states with 701 miles, followed in order
by Louisiana, South Dakota, Nevada,
Arkansas, North Dakota, California,
Wisconsin and Wyoming. No other
state crossed the 200-mile line.
Alabama added last year but S0.14
miles of track to her transportation
facilities, and these miles of track were
laid on sixteen railroads. 1t will thus
be seen that none did much new track
extension work. But there is hope left.
In the present year the line from
Brunswick will lay in this state 100
miles of track, and the Illinois Central
will put down at least fifty miles. We
may therefore hope to make a much
better showing in 1907 than we made
in 1906 If during the year the st. An
drew's Bay railroad is extended to-
wards, if not to, opelika, our railroad
building record will be fine one. The
Louisville and Nashville is planning to
lay about thirty miles of new spur
tracks in this state this year, and the
Southern and the Seaboard will lay
many tracks to mines also.
1t is safe to estimate Alabama's
trackage of this year at $50 miles, as
against so miles last year.

Record OF a Year.

At at any rate it can be truthfully
said of the old year that it brought
at home, and no bloody wars
anywhere. 1t was year of political
unrest in many countries, particularly
in Russia, and the general trend was
against absolutism and towards -popu-
lar possibly towards so
cialism. The Car is still prisoner in
his palace, and the condition of Russia
is essentially revolutionary. 1t is
doubtful indeed If any change towards
the old condition of affairs has taken
place. All parties are preparing 10
elect a new duma, and upon the cleo
ton much depends. But in any event
no one expects to see autocracy re-
instated in Russia. 1t is plainly rev.
olution that will become progressive
and sweeping as time goes on.
Cuba passed into the hands of Uncle
Sam in September, and Governor Ma
goon took charge of the. island in Octo-
Der. and there no doubt he will stay
indefinitely, for the conservatives in
that island say they will creatae rev.
olution rathar than permit the liberals
