Today is municipal election day in Greater Birmingham.
 As there are no contests. there would be little interest but for the fact that the people of Greater Birmingham to- day vote also as to whether or not the city shall sell its electric lighting and water plants located at North Birming- ham.
 The City Council expressed its willing ness that the sale occur, but left the question to the discretion of the voters of the city. Aldermen Barnes Morgan and Graham Perdue have waged an &C., tive campaign against the sale, and it is believed by conservative onlookers that they will be rewarded with a victory today.
 Alderman Walter Moore stated yester- day that if the plants are not sold they will have to be shut down. "We can't get water supply, he said, "and that which we have now is contaminated. Per- sonally. I care nothing about the mat

surgency has a foothold, you will find
that they have mostly been outspoker
for free lumber or for very low Tar
If on lumber. You will likewise find
that they adhere to a theory of rail-
road rate regulation that takes no
account of the legitimate influence OF
water competition on railroad rates
in cities that have both rail and
boat transportation. They hold that
cities on deep water are not entitled
to any lower railroad rates than inter-
Tor cities. In a limited way this
theory was written into the new rail-
road law. Insurgency leans strong
ly to the Democratic theory of the
Tariff and It has Endorsed more than
one of the measure advocated by
William Jennings Bryan.
II is clear to most persons that the
prosperity Of Western Washington de-
ponds mere upon the lumber industry
than upon any other. When We look
down from the residence heights on
the harbor and see ships tied up at
the wharfs loading lumber, we know
that the mills are busy and tn loggeers
are at work in the woods. We know
that money is coming in and is cir
clating among the merchants. On the
other hand, when ships do not come
in to load lumber, We know that all
branches of business feel it.
The central states. where the de-
mand for the removal of the Tariff
from lumber is greatest, have little
timber left, and they are not greatly
concerned over what becomes of our
industries, providing they can buy
lumber more cheaply. They don't
care where the lumber comes from.
And yet we find the Insurgent MEN,
bers of Congress from those states
standing up for a Tariff on products
in which their states are particular
ly interested. II is reasonable to
expect that they will continue to stan
up for Protection OF products of their
states.
