 CENTS FOR COPPER
Adjustment of Prices Looked for by Leading Producers and Electrolytic Is not Expected to Be Sold Under that Figure-No Stocks of Copper.

According to the leading producers of copper an adjustment of prices will probably take place within the next two weeks. The price that will be agreed upon has not been determined, but one of the important producers figures it will not be below Is cents a pound for clectrolytie, says the Boston News Bu- reau.
 That readiustment of the price schedule will start a buying movement is not questioned, as the new price will represent one agreed upon by consum. CTS and producers.
 A representative of a company that handles over 200,OOO,O0O pounds of cop per year says:
 "'The new price will probably he somewhere between IS and 20 cents a pound for electrolytic. Consumers are not anxious to see a demoralized mar kct. as it would serve to unsettle con ditions in general. There is great deal of eXaggeration in the stories that stocks of copper arc reaching a large figure It may be true that producers are adding to their stocks, but con sumption is going on uninterruptedly In other words, producers may be add ing to their stocks, but at the same time consumers are reducing their surplus materially.
 "It will be a question of a few weeks only when consumers will have to enter the market for the purpose of rcplenishing their supplies The Gen. cral Electric company since the first of the year has consumed at the rate of 7,0OO,000 pounds of copper a year, and the enormous increase in the business If the Westinghouse companies indi. cates heavy expansion in copper con sumption from this source.
 'You will notice that notwithstand- ing all this talk of business recession the copper and brass foundries are not closing. When a buying movement does start it will be heavy, and stocks now on hand will be quickly absorbed. '"

modern conditions they almost nvari- ably are) m interstate business. When the constitution was created none of the conditions of modern business existed. They are wholly new and we must ere ate new agencies to deal effectively with them. There is no objection in the minds of this people to any man s earning any amount of money if he does it honestly and fairly, if he gets it as the result of special skill and enter prise, as a reward of ample service actu- ally rendered. But there is growing determination that no man shall amass a great fortune by special privilege, by chieaHery and wrongdoing, so far as 1t IS in the power of legislation to prevent; and that the fortune when amassed shall not have a business use that is antisoeial Most large corpora tiOns do business that is not confined to any one state. Experience has shown that the effort to control these corpora tiOns by mere state action cannot pro duce wholesome results. In most eases such effort fails to correct the real abuses of which the corporation is or may be guilty; while in other eases the effort is apt to cause either hardship to the corporation itself or else hard ship to neighboring states which have not tried to grapple with the problem in the same manner; and of course we must be as scrupulous to safeguard the rights of the corporations as to exact from them in return full measure of justice to the people. l believe in q national incorporation law for corpor- ations engaged in interstate business. believe. furthermore, that the need for action is most pressing as regards those corporations which, because they are common carriers, exercise a quasi-public function; and which can be completely controlled in all respects by the federal government, by the exercise of the power conferred under the interstate commerce clause, and, if necessary, un. der the postroad clause, of the con stitution. During the last few years we have taken marked strides in ad, vance along the road of proper regula- tion of these railroad corporations; but We must not stop in the work. The national government should exercise over them similar supervision and control to that which it exercises over national banks. We can do this only by proceeding farther along the lines marked out by the recent national leg islation.

Must Experiment First

In dealing with any totally new set of conditions there must at the outset
 be hesitation and experiment. Such has been our experience in dealing with the enormous concentration of capital
 employed in interstate business. Not only the legislatures but the courts and the people need gradually to be edu- eated so that they may see what the real wrongs are and what the real rem edies. Almost every big business con eeTn is engaged in interstate commerce, and such a concern must not be allowed by dexterous shifting of position, as has been too often the caselin the past, to escape thereby all responsibility either to state or to nation. The Amer ican people became firmly convinced of the need of control over these great aggregations of capital, especially where they had a monopolistic tenden- cy. before they became quite clear as to the proper way of achieving the control. Through their representatives in con gress they tried two remedies, which were to large degree, at least as in terpreted by the courts, contradictory. On the one hand, under the antitrust law the effort was made to prohibit all combination, whether it was or was not hurtful or beneficial to the public. On the other hand, through the inter state commerce law a beginning was made in exercising such supervision and control over combinations as to prevent their doing anything harmful to the body polite. The first law, the

Legislation Not All

But while we can accomplish some thing by legislation, legislation can never be more than a part, and often no more than small part, in the gen eral scheme of moral progress; and crude or vindictive legislation may at any time bring such progress to halt. Certain socialistic leaders propose to redistribute the world s goods by refus- ing to thrift and energy and industry their proper superiority over folly and idleness and sullen envy. Such legisla tion would merely, in the words of the president of Columbia university, "wreck the world s efficiency for the purpose of redistributing the world 8 discontent." We should all of us work heart and soul for the real and perma- nent betterment, which will lift our democratic civilization to a higher level of safety and usefulness. Such better ment can only come by the slow, steady growth of the spirit which metes gen erous, but not sentimental, justice to each man on his merits as man, and which recognizes the fact that the high. est and deepest happiness for the in dividual lies not in selfshness but in service.

Car Capaciiy Basis

Shipments of coal are now made in the southeast on the basis of car capacity. Under the new basis freight charges will no longer be determined by the actual weight of coal shipped unless cars are loaded beyond stated car capacity. If the car contains less coal than the stated capacity of the car the freight charge will be based on the cars stated capacity. For example, if a fifty-ton coal car comes in carry ing but forty tons of coal, the freight charge will be based on fifty tons. If the coal in the car exceeds the cars stated capacity the freight charge will be based on actual weight. fifty-ton car may be loaded with fifty-dve tons of coal. This may be done with the knowledge and consent of the railroad company, 10 per cent being the margin of loads. When so loaded charges will be based on actual weight, but when car comes in partially loaded freight charges will be based on it's stated capacity.
 The new system will not work smoothly at first. Protests will be forthcoming, but in the long run it will be considered, it is thought, rule that will lessen car shortage troubles and render the transportation of the fuel supply less difficult. The proof of the nudding is in the eating, and test of the new rule will soon show what efficiency and value it offers.

Alabama Insurance Money

Lieutenant Governor Henry B. Gray proposes to require the life insurance companies that desire to do business in this state to loan in this state one half of the premiums collected here. New York has such law, and so has Massachusetts and perhaps many other states, and what is good for them would certainly be good for Alabama.
 The people of this state pay to the life insurance companies several mil lions a year. This is very large sum to take out of Alabama. There is no state that would not feel an an- nual drain of that size. Alabama cer- tainly does, and it is simply good busi- ness sense to require, as Lieutenant Governor Gray proposes to do, the com- panies to invest one-half of their net receipts from this state within the state.
 Why should they not do this? The money can be loaned here as safely as 1t could be in any other state-more safely than it could be used in ques- tfopable Wall-street operations. At present insurance investments net about per cent, and more than that could be had here through loans on !. business property and quite a little more through loans on residence prop erty The insurance companies would be benefited, Alabama would have more money for development purposes, and justice would be done in all re- spscfa

Mayor Wards Messane

The annual review of this citys af- fairs by Mayor George B. Ward is an exceedingly interesting paper, and 1t is especially interesting when he dis cusses in it the city's financial condi- tion. Receipts and disbursements were just about balanced In the year 1906 the calendar year-but there were then and there still are many needs that cannot be supplied because of the citys limited income.
 The income story of the city consti- tutes the most interesting part of an interesting message, for the Mayor shows that the basic trouble is not so much the constitutional limitation of taxation as it is the constitutional re- quirement that the city shall accept the values of property named for tax ation purposes by the county authori- ties. Tn other words, the county off cers are the assessors of the city so far as city taxation of real estate is concerned The valuations placed upon city property by the county off cials are set forth in Mayor Wards message with clearness and force. He selects block S6-the Peerless-Norton block-as his frightful example. He shows that 1t is well worth in the mar ket $2,000,000, and yet the county offl- cials say it is worth but $37O, ,600-the result being that the city collects from 1t but $3706, whereas it would yield in Nashville $22 300 a year!
 This kind of taxation juggling, which is going on in all parts of the state, blocks improvements, puts up licenses and cripples the entire city admins tration. The attention of the new state tax commission should be called to this matter in the hope that between the new commission and the great needs of this city the evil of unduly low valu- ations of property may be remedied.
 The message Is full of valuable recommendations relating to liquor licenses, schools for negroes, viaducts, underground wiring, storm sewers, po- lice reorganization, better bookkeeping and the like, but the key to the entire message is really found in the tren- chant paragraphs that deal with valua- tions of real estate and the financial problems of the city.

------------~7f ---------------~ AlRSHlP PREDICTIONS.

From the New York Globe.
 It Is evident enough to even the least aeronauttcal of us that some progress has been made in the last twelve months to- ward a practical solution of the problem of human flight. Santos Dumonts brief excursions through the air in his imita- ton blrd-possibly also the somewhat mysterious achievements along the same lines of the Wright brothers-have demon- strated the possibility of an aeroplane alrship.
 Man has at last made a machine heavier than air, in which he can fly for short distances, This is certainly a very notable advance. But, on the other hand 1t Is a long step from anything that has 1t present been constructed to a prac- ticable, commercial aerial vessel of even one passenger capacity. The aeroplane even more than the balloon, is still a show apparatus for the use of reckless experts at expositlons and country fairs. It is about as safe a recration as walking a tight rope over Niagara Falls or throw ing stones at can of itro-glycerine It seems therefore, as if Dr. Alexander VI dhdih DelA CdplCd announcement mat we are on the verge of transatlantic aerial liners, maintaining regular twenty-four hour service between New York and London, were somewhat prema- ture. In fact, the doctor seems to have developed rather a habit of making these predictions whenever approached by re- porters Something over a year ago he startled the automobile fraternity by tell ing them that the age of the flying ma chine is not in the future--it Is herel" and adding that the terrestrial motor car would soon be oldfashioned. He also then predicted twenty-four hour trans Atlantic service.
 Now he says, "I am confident that it will not be long before flying machines will be everywhere" and predicts a very remarkable development of airship con struction in the next few months Santos Dumont, after his first aeroplane flight announced that the one man airship would soon dsplace the bicycle as the poor mans vehicle. Gathmann, the Wright brothers, Captain Ferber of the French army, and many other enthusiasts have been quoted to the effect that present day apparatus for crawling along the surface of the earth at forty or fifty miles an hour and over .he waters thereof at half that speed would soon be rele- gated to museums for antiquities by the airship. Perhaps so, but there Is no in- formation yet available to the public justifying even the most reckless plunger in taking flyer in airship stock.

CAPTAIN PRICE RESIGNS,
M. M. Stewart Is Nominated for Cap
 tain of Troop D.

Captain Price of Troop D announced the fact last night that he had rendered his resignation. On account of the fact that First Lieutenant Metcalfe has recently resigned from the service of the state two vacancies were made.
 As there was a full attendance last night 1t was decided to nominate officers to fill the vacancies. Therefore Second Lieutenant M. NJ. Stewart was nominated captain. Quartermaster Parker was nom- mated first lieutenant and Second Ser geant George Hamilton was nominated second lieutenant.
 The nominees will be elected next Wed nesday night. After the election a smoker will be enjoyed
 Captain Price has been with the cavalry for a number of years, and has always been exceedingly popular with his men, In announcing his withdrawal from the company last night he made very clever speech and was accorded loud applause at its conclusion. New full dress uni forms were issued to the officers and men last night.
