building bank account until he Is
able to buy him a home. Instead OF
selling his checks at a large discount
he could deposit his morey in the bank
on which he could get interest and
check on his own account instead OF
selling his check at such a great loss.
This class of men will be found to be
much more reliable than a class who
don't save their money nor want
home. If a man is interested enough
to get a home he will also be suffi-
GENTLY interested to give satisfaction
as a laborer so that he can hold his
job and increase his wages and beau
tify his home. To Assist in saving
money it's we'll to consider the pro-
priety of making gardens, raising
chickens, and pigs, owing a COW when
1t is convenient, and doing simple dec
orations about the home and the front
yard 1t is also well for us to be
careful in our expenditures for our
clothing and foodstuffs. While we
sh ould get healthy quality of food
and plenty of it, we should not get it
in such quantities as to cause such a
waste, which is often the case. We also
should be economical In the selection
of our clothing, which should be In
keeping with our station in life. l
mean to say that man who has no In
come but his labor and spending that as
fast as he makes It. should not wear
clothing as expensive as a man would

be considered in the spirit that they
are offered, and that they may lead to

| defeat of Reau E. Folk for state treas
urer by Thomas Taylor, a west Tennes-
see republican. by means of practically
the entire regular democratic element of
| both houses and few republicans vot-
| ing for him. is still the chief matter of
local political interest. The freely under
stood trade involved was that DeLong
Rect the candidate representing the regu-
lar democrats and who stepped aside, was
to be given the office of state insurance
commissioner. which is now part of the
duties of the state treasurer
Many appear to think that II will be i'm
possible to carry out the terms of such
an arrangement. however, as the two Of
fees are now the same. and an election as
state treasurer is understood to include
the other also. 1t is being freely charged
by fusonists that the election of Taylor
was done largely TO embarrass the Hoop
er administration, and many republicans
declare that the new treasurer is not the
man for me place considering his prior
record.
A feature of the house session today
was a warm discussion over the passage
on third reading of the pension bill in
creasing the appropriateness old soldiers.
The debate was over proposed re-referring
of the bill TO the finance ways and means
committee which was finally done, follow
ing a general oratorical contest. 1t was
charged that the increase was an effort
on the part of friends of Comptroller d.
brell to pay political debt.
Nine bills of interest to the farmers
and sportsmen of the state were intro
duced in each house of the legislature,
seeking to prohibit the purchase, sale or
shipping of quail; to amend the game
laws by requiring resident shooters IL

upon a salary of $1,000 and turning the rev.
ennues of tine department into the state

and fishtraps; to protect game fish; to
prohibit the pollution of streams and es-
tablish fish ways; to extend the closed
season on deer to October l, 1915; to max e
a closed season on doves to September /,
1913; prohibiting the sale of robins.
Regulating the practice of lunacy pro-
ceedings SO as to prevent final judg-
ment until fair trial is had before a
court and jury was also the subject of
a senate bill, while Senator Bacon intro
duced a measure authorizing Shelby coun-
ty to issue $3.50, 90 school bonds.
In both houses measures were intro
duced to define the qualifications of the
county judge of this county.
From a senate bill $4,000 is asked to erect
a memorial to Commodore Matthew Fon-
taine Maury on Capitol hill.
A bill to change the divorce laws by not

UNDERWOOD PREVENTS THE
CONCENTRATION OF POWER

Washington, February 1.-Another radi-
cal step to prevent the concentration of
power in a few hands in the house of
representatives was taken tonight by the
newly designated democratic members of
the ways and means committee of the
next congress.
1t was determined that in the make up
of the committees of the new house the
craftsmanship of all committees that have
the power to prepare appropriation bills
and the chairmen of the judiciary, inter-
state and foreign commerce and District
of Columbias committees, shall not be
members of any other committees, over
which they preside.
This will add eleven to the number
of members who are to be expressly linn
tied to service on a single committee
The democratic caucus which chose the
ID members of the ways and means COM
mittee restricted them to service upon
that committee and gave them the pow
er to select the other committees of
the house. After long session tonight
these members of the new ways and
means committee determined to follow
the policy of making the chairman of
the more important committees and par
ticularly those that have control over the
appropriation bills ineligible for service
on the other committees.

Some time ago when A. II. Ford, presl-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce, start
cd his agitation for the development OF
agriculture in the Birmingham district
MANY people in Birmingham and here
about were rude enough to smile.
t. H. Aldrch went so far as to suggest
the invention of a pump gun to be used
In the planting of peas on the hillsides and

ing the crop.
Frank Nelson was heard,to suggest that
the flying machine might be used to good
advantage in agricultural development In

I made the trip under the special chap

Brown was for a number of years phys

Brown is the son of a successful sclen-

But all this land is productive. The

Iron Age Reports Activity

New York, February -(Special.)-The
Iron Age will say tomorrow:
The improvement in steel trade condi-
tions has become more marked in the past
week. In wire and tin plate 1t Is more
pronounced than the heavier products, but
throughout the trade there is definite
impulse toward greater activity
The Steel corporations statement gives
a good gauge of what has taken place
in showing new orders averaging 10000
tens a day in January, up to the 2lth
as against 1000 tons day in December
and November, when it was plain that
wear and tear were not being replaced
by new buying.
The news of the double-tra cking pro-
gramme of the Union Pacific strongly re-
inforced the more cheerful sentiment of
the week or the $75,000,000 outlay the
steel mills will get a substantial share.
Probably 80 000 tons of rails, or 81, 900
tons a year, will be needed, besides many
thousands of tons of steel for bridges
The National Railways of Mexico have
Just placed in this country 10000 tons of
rails, in addition to 5000 eacrly in Janu-
airy.
The Grand Trunk Pacific opened bids
this week on 1920 tons of S0-pound rails.
Canadian mills will be able to take only
a part of it, The Boston and Maine and
the New Haven orders, amounting to-
gether to 81 900 tons, are about closed. The
Rock Island has bought 10000 tons and
the Western of Maryland has taken 2o,vV0
tons. besides $500 tons already reported.
OF the Burlington order for 10000 tons
equal lots go the Illinois Steel, Colorado
and Lackawanna companies.
In the tin plate trade demand continues
strong, and in view of the added cost
of a5 cents a box for tin In the past year,
a 10-cent or a 15-cent advance in tin
plate would not be surprising.
The foundry iron market is still quite
out of step with finished lines.

The announcement was given out by
Chairman Underwood as "the settled pol
icy of this committee" While the COM
mittee has not the power. as had the
democratic caucus, to prohibit member
from serving on another committee,
Chairman Underwood made it clear that
the committee. in filling up the other
committees. will adhere to the rule laid
down tonight.
The rule will effect the chairmen OF
the following important committees: APP
propriations, agriculture, foreign affairs,
pensions and post offices and post roads,
in addition to the three specifically named
by the committee, judiciary, interstate
and foreign commerce and District of Co.
lumbia.
Chairman Underwood stated at the
conclusion of the meeting that the new
rules committee will not be selected until
after March T.
The fight over the rules committee of
the house has been postponed until
March L. 1t is believed by Mr.. Under
wood and his colleagues that 1t would be
better for the party If more time could
be devoted to going over the personnel
of the house carefully before reaching a
decision, and it was the belief that
better committee will be the result after
four weeks study of the situation.
