MAY RESUME CASH
PAYMENT THIS WEEK
Secretary CorteIyou Has Word
From Banks That They
Are Ready.
NO FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT
BANKS ARE ALSO ANXIOUS FOR
EARLY CALL FROM CONTROL
LER FOR STATEMENT OF THEIR
CONDITIONS AT PRESENT.

Washington, December 4.-Sec"etary
Cortelyou said today that he expected
to see nearly all the banks in the cour-
try resume the unrestricted payment of
currency before the end of the week.
He had on his desk today kilograms
from banks in many parts of the cOun-
try announcing they were ready to re-
turn to normal basis. 1t is the I'M
Outstanding at the treasury that in
most of the cities cash payments will
be renewed without any formal an
nouncement of the fact being made.
Senator Beveridge called on the con-
troller of the currency today at the re-
quest of the Indianapolis Clearing
House association and urged the con-
troller to issue a call as soon as posi-
BILE for a statement from the banks Of
the country. Controller Ridgely as
sured him that the office is now con-
sidering the advisability of issuing a
call! The Clearing House association
wired the senator the resolutions
adopted. which-represent that nothing
| would do more to restore confidence
| than a showing of the condition of the
| banks
The text of the resolution is as fol-
| lows:
Resolved. That it is the unanimous
| opinion of the Indianapolis Clearing
House association that an early call for
statement by the controller of the
currency would greatly relieve the
present situation and do more than
any other one agency TO facilitate the
| resumption of cash payment aud the
restoration of normal conditions
Under the law the controller must is
sue call before the end of the year.

Tennessee and the Warrior

The Tradesman appreciates Ine
speedy opening of the Warrior, and 1t
goes on to say that the opening of that
river should be followed by the con-
struction of the Tennessee Warrior
canal. 1t says the coal and iron fields
of Chattanooga and Birmingham should
be linked together in order to combat
to better advantage Pittsburg. It goes
on to say:
"Pttsburg contributes to the CONNER
clal tonnage of the United States more
than any other center at the present
time, having a railroad tonnage of H.
100000 with a river tonnage of 100000
added. The cost of their canal to Lake
Erie is estimated at 500 100000, and yet
this is to be constructed entirely by pri-
vate enterprise. The Tennessee-Warrio
canal would pay for itself in saving on
freight for these two cities within hve
years time, placing the cost at 25,OoOOO'
which Is regarded as excessive by one
half the amount that would be required
1.-THE Tradesman believes that the com
bined influence of Chattanooga, Birming-
ham and Mobile can build the Tennessee
Warrior canal and that would mean
more to these three cities than almost
ANYTHING else imaginable. Pittsburg Is
going to have a nine-foot channel IN the
Ohio river from that city to the Missis-
sippi and then Birmingham and Chatta-
nooga may be forced to act to even hold
their legitimate trade. Why not act at
once?"
The far-reaching effects of the open
ing of the Warrior begin to be felt, but
even the home folks have not become
fully awake to its ultimate meaning.

Benefits of Dissatisfaction.

1.-THE negro is remarkable specimen of
mankind to me-" said a citizen recently,
"and 1 study him sometimes with con-
siderable interest.
political economists after their scien-
tific study, have concluded that man can
only be elevated to a higher plane in life
when his wants are elevated, and there
are numbers of people today who believe
that If the negro could be made dssatis-
fed with his present station in life the
race, as whole, would be considerably
elevated.
There is a great deal in this theory,
l believe, and it can be effected to GER
tain extent. Take, for instance. the house
in which the average negro lives. 1t is
usually little one, or two-room shack
in which the whole family merely exists.
With so many in the same room and liv-
ing under the conditions they do live.
disease is bound to spread among them.
This not alone affects the negro, but also
the white people for whom they cook or
wash.
IF the negro could be made dissatis-
fed with even the house in which he now
lives he would be certainly elevated.

and have noted the conditions under

Lauuinu in the Race

The state of New York which does
not hold n pound of coal makes almost
as much iron as Alabama does, and
coal and flux and ores lie here side by
side, all in some cases within the
sound of single furnace whistle. This
shows what capital can accomplish In
the face of nature.
While the production In the country
has gone from 16,497033 tons in 1904
to 25.307,191 tons in 1906-an increase
of over fifty per cent-the rate of In
crease in Alabama has been less than
fifteen per cent. The production of
this district in 1904 was 1,453,513 tons;
in 1905 it was 1,6O4062, and last year
it was 1,674,S4S tons.
We have Jagged in the race because
we could not in past years summon to
our aid the capital that Pennsylvania,

is true" says the Manufacturers Rec
ord, chat the Tennessee and the Re-
public companies are preparing to ex-
pend about s30,OOO,OOO at Birmingham
during the next few years in the re-
building of their furnaces and the en-
largement of all Of their facilities for
greatly increasing their output and of
turning 1t into the finished product.
But surely the time has come when
this very investment on so large a
scale should stimulate the organiza-
tion of other iron companies in the
south and should stimulate those al
ready there to go forward looking to
greater things. With unequaled natu-
raj advantages for iron and steel MAX
ing. we have not kept up with the rate
of growth in the country, and this Is
about the only important industry in
which the south has not led in the
rate of advancement"

Techoloqical School

The movement to establish tech
biological school in Birmingham as
sumed shape in the Commercial club a
few months ago when a committee of
representative men was appointed to
formulate plans. The committee has
held several meetings and has col
lected considerable data bearing on the
project, but up to this time nothing
definite has been reported.
1t is generally agreed that tech
biological school is greatly needed here.
OF all cities in the south, Birmingham
presents by far the most attractive
field for such an institution. Birming
ham is the hub of Industrial activity
and is the only city where students
could have object lessons on large
scale in mining, iron and steel making
and the varied industries that natur-
ally belong to a manufacturing center.
The demand for young men technically
educated is increasing steadily. but n
diploma is worth little unless the per-
son possessing it has received, along
with his ."book learning" some practi-
cal ideas gained from actual contact
with mine, mill and factory.
Money is needed to build, equip and
as Birmingham is no longer poor it
should not be difficult matter to raise
funds for so important an enterprise
as the one in question. Let those hav-
ing the matter in hand stir up enthusi-
asm and the money will come.

Two referendum LIQUOR Bills

Surely no county desires to be rent
a long time from center to circumfer-
ence by strife over the liquor problem.
A speedy settlement Of it is desired in
every county. and this is one reason
why the Lovelady bill is not itself sat
isfactory, for by itself it does not en-
able a county to determine fully the
yexed question.
But the Lovelady and the Moody
bills when harnessed together do af-
ford referendums that would definitely
and comprehensively determine the
will of the people in each county. I'm
der the Lovelady bill each county could
decide between wet" and dry" and
IL 1t went wet" 1t could, under the
Moody bill, choose between licensed
saloons and the dispensary system.
The two bills are not antagonistic, and
the friends of the one are the friends
OF the OIner.
Two simultaneous petitions under
the two bills would doubtless enable
the voters in county to decide on
one day the entire problem. These be
revolutionary and stirring times in
Alabama, and the present legislature
promises to be the most historic one
that ever sat in this state, not except
ing the general assembly of 1890,
which required Governor Moore to
summon a constitutional convention.
That meant secession from the union,
but deeply historic as that event was
the acts of the present Legislature will
endure the longer and will perhaps be
more productive of good to the state.

From the Mobile Register
If there is a steamboat running on the
Alabama river study of the Mobile and
Selma papers failed to reveal it. A gen.
tleman came to the Ledger office and
wanted to see schedule, or something
about the boats. The papers were pro-
duced, but there was not a schedule. not
a mention of the boat. There is a new
interest in river navigation, but the Ala
bama seems to have no boats, or not to
care, whether the public knows It. By
the way, this was the second call ever
made on the Ledger for this information
birmingham Ledger, February 81
The inspection must have been careless
ly made, for The Register prints a column

Nettie Quill and Mary s. Blees were head

Ledger is correct in but one particular;
the steamboat companies do very little adj

have no advertising at all. They should
maintain standing cards, with schedules
of prospective sailings; and this they do
not do. No fault can be found with the
newspaper, however, for 1t is doing III
full duty by the travelling public, givini
all the information available.

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT SLAUGHTER
OF HUMAN LIFE AT GRADE CROSSINGS

As a matter of fact lack of real man
agement of the railroads of the Birming-
ham district in particular and the state
as whole is largely the cause of the
antagonistio legislation IN Alabama
against the roads. Neither shipper nor
citizen objects to paying for good serv-
lee. Bad service has brought about the
existing antagonism. Instead of operating
the railroads the railroaders have in the
past attempted too much to operate po-
litical machines
Without bothering with the politicians,
If the railroad managers would operate
the roads satisfactorily they would find
little to fear from the politicians, and
much profit from the people, for the
people are willing to pay well for serv-
Ice well done.
In this connection. the grade crossings
in Birmingham should be abolished and
abolished Immediately. II the railroads
and the street railway system of Birming-
ham had spent on vladucts and sub
ways, or in any other way to abolish
grade crossings, the amount they have
spent in the past ten years in political
funds they would have saved money to
themselves and many precious human
lives.
Three years ago the street railway COM
pany and other railroads promised immed
lately viaduct from Twenty-sixth street
east along First avenue crossing many
tracks. It was promised within twelve
months. This viaduct would have saved
more in actual money than the damages
that will probably have to be paid for
Friday nights accident.
1t is an outrage that a man cannot ride
in street car along any of the lines
in the Birmingham district without going
across steam railroad tracks and endan-
gering his life upon every trip he makes.
The grade crossing should be abolished at
once and particularly the crossing on
First avenue. between Twenty-sixth and
Thirty-second streets; on Twentieth street
between Morris avenue and Avenue A; on
Eighteenth street between the same
streets; on First avenue at Twelfth or
Thirteenth streets; on Third avenue at
the same streets; on Nineteenth street
at Ninth avenue north, and at other

Cotton Tax Claims

When the supreme court of the
United States decided that the direct
tax on cotton was illegal it logically
followed that a big and rich country
would at once refund money it had no
right in law or morals to take, but 1t
has never done anything of that ma
ture. 1t has never refunded dollar of
the $6S,072 800 collected. Alabama
contributed $103SS,072 of the great
sum.
Congressman Heflin has introduced
bill to refund the money. He recog
nizes the difficulty of finding the
claimants. Many of the claims have
been sold and resold, oftentimes at ten
cents on the dollar The Hefin bill
provides that claimants shall be given
one years time in which to establish
before the court of claims the validity
of their claims. After that time the
remainder of the money shall be hand
ed over to the states to be used as a
good roads fund.
The bill meets with favor among
congressman, and the opinion Is freely
expressed that 1t will become law in
the sixtieth Congress. Lack of time
In the present Congress forbids its
speedy passage. The Hef1in bill has
been referred to committee of
the House judiciary committee. Judge
Clayton is chairman of the sub COM
mittee. The other members are Mr..
Littlefield of Maine and Mr.. Sterling
Of Illinois. The bill is to have hear
Ing in the present Congress, and 1t is
expected that the hearing will expe-
dite the passage of the bill In the next
Congress.
