En6land's Delayed Budget

The Lfoyd-George budget was sent
again to the house of lords without mod
ifcation in any particular. 1t was ac-
cepted by the lords because the electors
had so decreed and because the lords re
anxious to postpone another general cleo
ton. 1t thus speedily becomes law, and
taxes will be collected under It for a
period that has already nearly elapsed.
The next budget will not be introduced
until after the coming general elections.
These elections will probably be held
next fall, although rejection by the
house of lords of the veto resolutions
passed by the commons would bring on
the elections at once.
Mr.. Redmond reluctantly agreed to
support the land taxes imposed by the
budget when the government brought In
and passed the resolutions directed
against the veto power of the house OF
lords. Until The veto power 81 The l9Fd'

New Orleans q Sure Winner

Practically speaking there are but two
cities competing for the honor of hold
ing the Worlds Panama Exposition in
1915. or possibly in 1914. These two cities
are New Orleans and San Francisco. The
latter is picturesquely located, but when
its accessibility to the great majority
of the people is considered, it is no rival
of New Orleans. Within a 15OO-mile ra-
dius of the latter are $1,000, 900 people &C
cording to the census of 1900, while with
in a similar radius San Francisco has
but 100000 people to draw from. The
figures of the present census will serve
to increase New Orleans claim upon the
great Panama fair.
New Orleans, too, is far more accessible
ca, the West Indies and all European
nations. San Francisco stands isolated
between the sea on the one side and
mountain wall and plains on the other.
1t would be heavy tax on the average
man to ask him to go to San Francisco,
whereas 100000 people could go to New
Orleans and return home at a cost for
fare averaging SIS.
Every figure upholds New Orleans
claim, and not one supports the ambi-
ton of San Francisco. AS matter of
convenience and economy to the many
the fair should be held in New Orleans.
The plutocratic few could go to San
Francisco, but the democratic many could
not afford so long and wearisome trip.
The south will at any rate pull for
New Orleans.

Two Antitrust Decisions

In the opinions delivered in the United
States supreme court last Monday were
two supporting antitrust laws in Ten
nessee and Mississippi. In the former
state the Standard Oil was forbidden to
do business, because it attempted to
pribe merchants to cancel orders given
to an Evansville independent refinery
This bribery extended to four merchants
in GalIatin, Tennessee. Custer proceed
ings were begun against the Standard
Oil under Tennessee's antitrust law, ana
the state courts issued an ousting decree.
The United States supreme court fully
sustains the state courts, and the Stan
dard Oil must leave the state of Ten
nessee. It's commercial tactics in crush
ing competition stand dsapproved in that
state.
The Mississippi case is even more far
reaching The supreme court of Mssis-
sippi had ordered the DISARMAMENT of the
Retail Lumber Dealers association of
Mississippi and Louisiana, because 1t had
combined and agreed it would not deal
with a sawmil owner or wholesale dealer
who would sell to a consumer in their
states. This is a conspiracy in restraint
OF trade and it violates the antitrust act
of Mississippi. The United States su-
preme> court upheld the decision of the
supreme court of Mississippi, and the as
ISOLATION of the retail lumber dealers in
that state will have to be disbanded.
This decision extends far beyond lum-
Der, reaching even to drugs and groceries
and it will no doubt be followed by suits
to disband all combinations that aim to
suppress competition The freedom of
contract is a right the supreme court
sternly upholds, and that court intimates
that anything in restraint of trade would
be illegal at common law as we'll as
contrary to the Mississippi antitrust
statute.

> for 81 instead of 10 pounds as

now"
Mr.. Yoakum went on to explain that
nothing short of organization can
bring the field and the table in di-
rect touch and direct business. He
especially appealed to cotton farmers
to accept the warehouse system which
largely frees them from the exactions
of both middlemen and gamblers. Mr..
Yoakum is right when he says the
formers should eliminate the dema-
gogue politician, and he asked them to
cooperate with the railroads IN get
ting the best possible prices for farm
products. 1t is to the interest of rail-
roads, he said, to better marketing
facilities of the farmers, for the more
prosperous they become the more bus
mess they will have for the railroads.
I'm short he sa i'd, "let us work
together" And there is deal of plain,
practical business sense in Mr.. Yoak-
un's proposition.

Senator Ovens National Health Bill

Roth branches of Congress are full
of bills concerning our national health
laws. but Senator owens bill is con-
sidered broader and better than all
The rest. The Creager bill in the House
is identical with Senator owens bill.
The Owen--Creager measure is bet
ter because it aims to put the public
health in the keeping OF secretary
who shall be member of the cab
met. This would place in charge OF
this subject responsible and inf1u-
ential official and it would facilitate
The bringing together of all public
health work conducted by the gem
eral government outside of the army
and navy.
The Oven-Creager measure is bet
BY sanitariams and insurance men in
All parts of the country. All state
health officers and sanitary engineers
see more prospect of good work un-
der Senator owens plan than under
INV other laid before Congress. The
Mann bill is especially condemned be-
cause it proposes to leave health mat
tiers in the hands of the Secretary of
the Treasury whose hands are over
full in financing the country.
The true way to vitalize health
work, especially that part of it which
-elates to the prevention of bubonic
plague, typhoid fever. tuberculosis and
other infectious diseases, is to place 1t
under the supervision of cabinet
officer selected because of his knowl-
EDGE of the public health. Let us
zone Senator owen will press his bill
10 passage. No more important SUB
,ect is before Congress, and Senator
owen has grasped it in a masterfol
manner. The enactment of his bill
promises to improve in the course of
lime the national health until the ma
ticnal loss by illness is reduced to the
level of the most advanced and pro-
.ressive nations in that respect.

ORPHEUM SECURED
FOR THE 0RATORIO

The Birmingham Oratorio society's
grand concert for the benefit of the
Mulga relief fund Will be given at the
Orpheum on Sunday afternoon, May %.
Chairman F. E. Moore, of the commit
tee on arrangements, had secured the
Majestic, but he announced last night
that 1t had been decided to accept Jake
Wells tender OF the Orpheum. The
Wells management puts the house at the
disposal of the Oratorio society free and
expresses the hope that the concert will
be literally patronized. Mr.. Moore says
that the Roberts & Son company and the
Commercial company have agreed to do
the printing for the benefit perform
ance without charge.
Prof. Fred l.. Grambs will conduct a
full rehearsal of the oratorio chorus to-
night, instead of Friday night. 1t will
take place at Cable hall. The oratorio to
be sung is Costa's ELI" 1t is beautiful
work and will be heard in Birmingham
at the benefit concert for the first time.

Chairman Yoaknm on the Cost Of Living

Chairman Yoakum of the Frisco sys-
tenn created a sensation when, speak
ing before the farmers convention at
It Louis. he charged the increased
,ost of living upon the middlemen--
no dealers. VIII olesale and retail, and
,thers who come between the producer
and the consumer. Mr.. Yoakum dis
tfnctly mentioned the politicians as be-
.ne among the most pernicious of these
middlemen.
Mr. Yoakum urged the farmers to or
ranize themselves SO that the profits
q middlemen may be reduced. if not
illuminated. He did not deal in theories
he had facts in abundance at his
command. For example, he said:

From the London Times
Without noticing it we Europeans have
passed critical point in our relations
with the brown races of the world and
entered on new era full of uncertain
change. When the brown races were first
brought into contact with the whites their
numbers decreased rapidly owing to a
number of dimly OWNED causes; owing to
new diseases which throve disastrously in
virgin soil; owing to new economics and
new conditions Of life; but above all, ow-
ing to the infertilty which ensued on the
destruction of their joe de vivre by
sombre forms of Christianity and by the
enforcement of our northern gospel of
work
But now, as II by a conspiracy of tribal
gods all over the world, the brown popu-
lations have ceased to dwindle, their birth
rates are rising, certain patience has
supplied the place of the ancient zest and
they have resolved to make the best of 1t
and live. The old traditions are damaged
past repairing; the old pantheons are
broken. up; the brown folk are genuine
Christians, usually Methodists or Con-
gregationalists of a rather rigorous tpye;
the purity of their language is gone and
muddy mixture. half missionary, half
runaway sailor, has taken its place. But
still there is a remnant and a shadow, and
in this they have determined to place their
pride
Seven or eight generations ago the new
thing, the distinguished thing. was the
European thing-beads and tin tacks. a
pair of trousers or a tall hat; but since
the European cosmopolitan brand has
spread like a plague everywhere We are
the common, undistinguished thing: to be
H6ropean is to be vulgar; narrow ma
tionalism has become the mark of the
aristocrat. Halfbreeds used to boast of
their European blood; nowadays they take
to the bush. The South Seas are full of
men with European skins and features
who live ON bananas and talk nothing put

possible. Mr.. Redmond demanded the
best for his constituents that the situa-
ton offered.
The budget was. however. speedily
passed by the lords while action upon
the veto resolutions may be long de-
layed. The direct taves applied to land,
and especially to land held for pleasure,
and the new graduated income tax, will
be distasteful to the aristocracy, but the
nation had expressed its will, and the
lords proceeded to swallow the dose
without single dissenting voice, revo-
lutionary as it is in some respects. 1t
is victory for the common people.
