will be in full force and effect when the amendment s adopted and if these pro- visions were sufficient in 1886 and 1896. then why not now: and if not now, why the constitution and code are defective and both should be amended? l am un- able to discern any defect; yet, MT. Nes- bit Mir. Walker Percy and the other im- mortal 20 of the Commercial club of Bir- mingham maintain in effect that there is a defect. and in the same breath they say the constitution of 1901 is such perfect production of human genius that it needs no amendments.
 I have given my authorities; let MT. Nesbit MT. Percy and the members Of the Commercial club of Birmingham, who op- pose the amendment, give theirs. Con- suit the authorities I have cited, and if I am correct vote for the amendment; if I have misquoted them, vote against it. This is a fair proposition, and know that the people of Alabama love fair play.
 The proposed new county amendment is not partisan measure. It was voted for in the legislature by the admlnistra- tion and anti-administration senators and representatives. It is indorsed and sup ported by our highest officials and most Influential men, regardless of their differ- ences of opinions on other subjects, among the most prominent of which are. Governor Conner, Senators Bankhead and Johnston. Chief Justice Tyson, Congress- man Underwood of Birmingham, Gen. Rufus N Rhodes, Hon. Samuel D. Weak ley, Hon. J. Syd Bowie, Hon. Sam Will John. all of Birmingham; Maj. w. w Screws of Montgomery, and too many others to admit of mention. merely named these principally to show that III Birmingham the most patriotic and public spirited gentlemen are heartily in favor of the proposed amendment
 We submit that the proposed amend ment is fair, and we respectfully ask the people of the state to give it their un- qualified support GEO. PEGRAM, Chairman New County State Campaign
 Committee. Southern Division.
 Faunsdale Ala. October 21, 1908.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-10-25

To the Editor of the Age-Herald.
 T here will be submitted 10 the qualified voters of the State of Alabama, for their adoption or reJection, on the Srd day of November, 1908. the day of the general election. a proposed amendment to the Constitution of Alabama, commonly known as the New County Amend ment."
 This amendment does not create new counties. it does not make the creation of new counties obligatory upon any sec ton of the state. It merely prescribes the manner in which they may be es- tablished. The proposed amendment does not change the present Constitutional re- QGirements as to area, taxable values or population; the present Constitution and the proposed amendment are identical in these respects. In order to form new county under the present provision or under the proposed amendment. there must be in the territory embraced in the new county not less than 800 square miles of area, taxable values of not less than S1, ,0O0,000, and population sufficient to en- title it to at least one representative in the legislature of the state, which, under the present ratio of distribution. is ap- proxmatetly 1S,OOO people; and each coun- ty from which territory is taken to form a new county must be left with not less than 600 square miles of %rea, taxable values of not less than s1,00O,0OO and pop ulation sufficient to entitle it to at least one representative in the legislature, which, as stated above. is about 1S.0OO. The proposed amendment merely changes the machinery by which new counties may be established
 Much has been said by those who op- pose the amendment about the present provisions being perfect and no change is needed If this be true, why is it that no new counties have been formed under the existing provisions? It Is not because

to approximately 24000 people for the formation of a new county, and then Covington county could not be disturbed l merely mention Covington county as an instance; many counties of the state are similarly situated
 When Alabama was admitted to the union she had only about seven coun- ties Would any one have the temerity to maintain that seven counties would be sufficient today? That seven court houses and the officials of seven counties would be able to expeditiously transact the court business of the state? Suppose that the people of Birmingham had to go to Tuscaloosa to court, don't you know that they would set up such a clamor for a change in the constitution that would enable them to form county for themselves as was never heard in the state before? Yet. the people of Birming ham can get to Tuscaloosa much easier than the people of north Marengo, south Hale and southwest Perry counties can get to their respective county seats. Should they have more conveniences merely because they are wealthier and little more numerous than We?
 There has not been a single proposition advanced against the proposed new county amendment that is not chock full of self ishness to the core. The people of Bir mingham who oppose the amendment say that Jefferson county would lose too much revenue if Bessemer were allowed to form a new county, and like argu- ment is used by other counties that would lose some of their territory by the form ation of new counties. Their position is untenable. Birmingham boasts that she has, believe 1t Is, about one-fifth or one sixth of the entire revenue of the state; her enterprising citizens are daily adver- Using the immense wealth of Birmingham, but in opposing this proposed amendment on the above stated grounds they say to the balance of the world that Bir mingham is unable to support herself, and that if she loses Bessemer and about one-third of the county that the balance of Jefferson county will be unable to pay its expenses. This is certainly news to

Tidal Waves Inside Earth.

From the New Herald
 That the attraction of the sun and moon not only causes tides in the ocean but has corresponding Influence on the solid earth itself has now been definitely physicist. A quarter of century ago Prof. G. H. Darwin concluded there must be tides in the solid earth as well as in the fluid seas, but he was unable to detect them, and his only conclusion was that the earths mass was very rigid-at confirms this conclusion, but with his improved instruments and methods he has been able to detect and measure the amount by which the moon pulls the solid earth out of shape twice day. Dr. Hecker's meegurements, which lasted continuously more than two years, were to ascertain the lunar infiunce on the earth's gravity by observing the oscilia- tions of a delicate pendulum. It was by comparing his results with the figures as calculated for rigid earth that he was able to detect the tidal deformation caused by the pull of both moon and sun. Dr. Heckers pendulum was a compli cated series of bars jointed together, and they were installed in a specially designed brick-lined room 75 feet below the sur face of the ground, where the tempera- ture remained practically constant at about IF degrees centigrade or 54 degrees Fahrenheit continuous record of their position was kept by means of photogra- phy. Working here daily from December, 1902, to May, 1905. Hecker carried on the laborious series of observations that have now established the existence of lunar and solar tidal waves in the solid but flexible mass of the globe.

Colonel James Burns Comes
From Antipodes to Interest
American Capital

Colonel James Burns. a steamship
man of Sydney, Australia, is in San
Francisco to promote a project calling
for the operation of a line of vessels
between the ports of Vancouver San
Francisco and Sydney. He hopes to
be able to interest capital in the United
States, Canada and Australia and to
obtain the cooperation of the three
governments. Colonel Burns will place
his plans before the J. D. Spreckels
& Bros. Co. in this city and will then
proceed to Canada, where he will in
terview Premier Laurier.
The Canadian parliament has already
given serious consideration to the pro-
posal that it give financial assistance
to a line between Vancouver and Syd-
ney. Laurier is said to favor the idea.
but met with opposition which blocked
legislation in the last session of parlia-
ment.
Colonel Burns believes that a regu-
lar service will augment trade to an
extent that will make the investment
of great benefit to the countries in
volved. He regards the financial diff
culties of the past as due to the indie
pendent efforts of the steamshipmen
of the three countries and holds the
remove
these obstacles. At the ST. Francis
hotel Colonel Burns discussed his pro-
posal at length yesterday. He said in
part:
1T seems most 1amentable that the
two greatest ports in the Pacifc-Syd-
ney and San Francisco-should not be
connected by any mail steamship line.
Any purely American line would in
volve a far greater initial outlay, as
well as a far heavier cost for wages.
repairs, and other incidentals. so that
unless an exceptionally heavy subsidy
were paid, line of swift American
mail steamers on the Pacific must, in
my opinion, be losing business for
the owners.
IT certainly think that if the Ameri-
can government would agree to join in
some way with New Zealand and Au-
STRATA that an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS or
an Anglo-American company might be
formed. Say one-half the capital were
American and the other Australian or
English, then half the tonnage en-
the American and English flags, and
such a line should commend itself
both to the governments and the people
of America, Australia and New Zealand.
IF this were done. and permission
were given to make start by pur-
chasing vessels, or building outside,
then with a moderate subsidy from
the jewellers on both sides of the Pa
cifc there would be chance of devel-
oping a considerable trade.
There are some British owners, who,
1 believe, would be ready to join in
such a combination If the same could
be arranged. Considering the serious
decline in American shipping, some
means of checking this tendency should
commend itself to American Legislators.
"A monthly line is run at present
from Vancouver to Australia and New
Zealand, and endeavors are being made
to increase the speed to 20 or 81 knots
an hour Any shipowner knows that
this is not feasible business propo-
sition for such an extreme distance.
The correct idea would be to run an
