EauAL rAxATroN.

Copying recent editorial from The Advertiser in opposition to the proposed cotton mill tax exemption measure. The Columbus Ledger adds:
 There is much logic and good reasoning in this. If 1t will pay men with capital to invest it in cotton mills in Alabama it need not be feared that the tax on the mill property will keep from taxation wiii not alone be hardly sufficient to induce the building Of cot ton mills in the State, the amount IS too small, and yet the aggregate is quite considerable. If Alabama VIII look around bit 1t is probable that other institutions will be found that are more worthy of exemption from taxa tion than the cotton mills.
 That 1t will pay to build cotton mills in Alabama is not susceptible of doubt. and relieving them of their just share of taxes will not bring them here If there is no other inducement Men with money to invest in manufacturing enterprises are not going to select location for the sole reason that they win not have to pay taxes on their in- vestment. Capitalists with business ca- pacity will not lose the opportunity to invest their money where 1t will pay merely because they know their prop erty will be exempt.
 The aggregate amount of revenue that would come to Alabama from a fair and just taxation of all the cotton mills and factories in the State will amount to quite considerable sum. The amount which any one mill would be required to pay would be small, to say nothing of the partiality and in- justice and favoritism of selecting one business for exemption and taxing all others.

million divorces That gives an an-- nual average of 5000, which is. not at all bad when you consider the Judicial diflculties often thrown in the way Of the two parties. And this crop has an advantage over all others of any importance n this country in that It's production is spread over the entire year. Thus, in spite of the large amount of money requred to handle 1t, money expended for lawyers. testimo- ny and allmony, at no particular sea son of the year do it's demands call at- tention to the need of an elastic cur that this fiourishing, National industry production limited and to this end are sure, after digesting the figures, to clamor for legislation, more or less re- strictive. Some extremists will proba- bly, insist, as they have heretofore in- s'kt%.i ;.ttt rrc.d don be pra'' icaiS prohibited. Others, less violent in their views. will promse to be content ed if the legislation of the various States on the subject is made more uniform and greater restrictions are thrown around the culture Of the grow ing crop. As between the two, propa- bly, the palm of reasonablenesS should De awarded to the latter view. Statis- tics prove that overpi oduction Is often under production. and this furnishes solid economic ground for the adoption of restrictive measures which will nat urally guard against the former contin- gency. But no argument so persuasive could possibly be brought in favor of an absolute prohibition of the great divorce industry.

aHoId-Up" of ConEressmen.

Meridlan DlSpaIch.
 MT. Adamson. member of Congress from Georgia for the past ten years, has thrown a new light on the late congressional salary raise. He says that, no matter what the salary of a Congressmen may be, the Washington people are determined to get all of it If only two thousand dollars a year, they will get that; it seventy-five hun dred year, they will get all of that and. in either event, the Congress words. the Washington people who control the things that Congressmen must have, such as board, lodging, houses, rooms. etc, simply Hay for" the Congressman and practice a regu- lar '.hold-up" game on them. If they should get only $2,OO0 "a year, they would live, says he, just as well as they will live on the $7,500 which they are to get.
 He cites a recent experience of his own when he agreed to rent two rooms on K Street for $30 a month-rooms which in his own home town in Geor- gia he could rent for $5 month, or in Atlanta for $10. He instructed his secretary to move into them. but, be- fore the secretary could carry out the instructions, the lady from whom the rooms had been rented learned that MT. Atkinson was member of the House of Representatives, and knowing already that the salaries of the repre- sentatives had been increased, she raised the rent to $1O0 a month. MT. Adamson declined to stand the raise and didn't move In.
 He is interested and busying him self trying to organize the Congress- men into an anti-holdup association, or a society for the prevention of cruelty to Congressman. which, he says, will, when in good working or der, have the effect of bringing the congressional supply people to reason able terms.
 This appears to be a special trust that needs to be busted that is preying directly upon the peoples trust bust CTS and, in the end, upon the people themselves. If the Georgia Congress mans representation of the situation is correct, as 1t doubtless is, then the raise of the congressional salaries seems to be but a "hand-out' to the Washington people.

Monn MrynnIr.

To the ordinary observer 1t looks very much as if the canal business is up in the air again--as it usually has been.. for that matter. The resignations of Wallace, Shonts and Stevens In such quick succession means something more than a dislike for the work-ttself, or a desire for better paying position. The completion of the canal will be among thes greatest, if not really the greatest, engineering fsats the world has ever known. and an engineer who could carry it on to a successful ter- imitation would win a name and repu- tation that few have attained.
 Under such. obvious conditions does 1t not appear plain that an engineer with proper ambition, and reasonable pride in his calling would be anxious to retain the position and thus win for himself a foremost place and among the great constructors of the earth? It appears plain that such would be the case and that an engineer who felt himself competent to do the work would not retire from the opportunity to immortalize himself, as three of them have recently done. unless 1t was because they were handicapped by out side influences. That is just what Is the matter, in our judgment Roose- welt Is and has been morbidly anxious that he shall get all the credit for the work, and we are of the opinion that his continual putting in where he is not a competent judge Is one great cause of the continual squabbles that have been going on, as well as for the poor progress of the work.
 It has been but few weeks since 1t was plainly intimated that the adminis- tration was tired of the job and would turn 1t over to private contractsors. Now, after considerable time and much money has been spent getting and ex- amining contracts, that scheme is sud- denly thrown over and the President has once again assumed the role of boss and Is about to place the job in the hands of the Army engineers. thus as- suring to himself the position of head of the enterprise. Knowing as much of him and his character as we do, what is mere natural than that he should work it so as. to keep the whole bus mess up in the air until his present term expires. with the expectation that he will receive from his successor the position of chief engineer and mana ger? That would be strictly in accord ance with his style and record. Looking at it from that standpoine, we candidly assert that we have no hope or expect ation of any material progress during the next two years.

FRIDAY, MARCH I, 1907.

A female crank, Mrs. Haydon. from Chicago, of course, has about closed deal for 4,0o0 acres of land on the Cuff coast of Texas, where she proposes to establish an lAdamless Eden. as she eesignates it. She will divide the land into small tracts and settle women col onists on them, and men are to be barred. We are curious to know what sort of fence they will build around 1t to keep men out. Also. we shall watch with some curiosity to learn how long before the women will begin to get out or the men to get in. We give the plan about one year to exist as con- tempIated.

Damage Suit Law.

BlrmlnGham Ledger
 The employers liability bill. which Is a scheme to aid and encourage dam age suits, Is again to come before the Legislature. This is the worst bill that has been presented, and The Ledger regrets that a Jefferson County Repre- sentative was persuaded to introduce 1t.
 All the laws needed to protect per sons and to force compensation for injuries to person of property are now on our statute books. In this county two judges give almost their whole time to trying damage suits. Why then pass a law to encourage damage suits, and to make them easier to win?
 This employers liability act will not be passed. It Is prepared on the pre- sumption that this Legislature will pass anything that will annoy a cor poration. This will be found to be an error It is one thing to control cor porations and quite another to encoHr- age suits to annoy them.
 We, the people of Alabama, trust that this bill will not be given serious con sideration by the Legislature.

 What Miss Malone says about the places and methods of manufacturing the hats doesn't add to the satisfaction of the wearers and admirers of them The uncomfortable and unsanitary sweatshops in which the work is done is one of the penalties which have to be endured by the poor. and the prices the hat-makers receive for their work is better than some of their working sisters get for much more disagreeabls work. That is one of povertys rewards. and we suppose 1t will never be other wise as long as some are rich and others poor. The oregonian concludes:
 It Is possible that the germ theory as applied to this sepcial form ce spl Ing millinery may be baseless, but the wage rate as quoted has every appearance Of accuracy. And it must be admitted that If clothing made in sweatshops carries or may carry disease germs to purchas- CTS, there Is no reason why millinery goods produced under similar conditions may not be infectious. The only point at issue here is this: Is high class mil- linery made for the wholesale trade in sweatshops where the vilest unsanttary conditions prevail? If so, Miss Mahon's assertion that danger turks in the picture hat that issues from such shops ,is well grounded. It only re- mains for reputable and humane mer- chants to acquaint themselves with the conditions and locations of these squRl- Id shops if they have not al- ready done so, to the end that the prices charged for those marvellous creations of the milliner's art may not unwitting- ly include the foundation of a doctors Or an uudertaKer'E bill
 Our contemporary. 1t will be noticed, does not propose a remedy. except as 1t proposes that the merchants look into the matter, by which we suppose 1t means that they should refuse to deal in female head-gear manufactured un- der such conditions. If that is the only hope 1t Is a very dim one. Women will wear fine hats, when they can pro- cure them, and the merchant must strive to please them or go out bus mess. By the way, wonder, if any of the mep's head-gear is loaded?- before the heads get into the hats. we mean.

 While of course this is ex- cellent work and which must always be paid for, we will charge you no more than most any you may buy that are at all above the ordin- ary.

Those who read the newspapers and remember what they read will call to mind that the President, when his son was hurt in a game of football about a year ago, "volleyed and thundefed' against rough sports. At Harvard the other day he did some equally strenuous volIeying and laundering against what he termed the ''mollycod- dles'' turned out by universities which prohibit such rough sports. However, shiftiness is one of the Presidents long suits.
