 will get what it is entitled to, and what Ii demands. No sort of organization however, can succeed in the insurance or banking business without confidence of the public; for confidence commands cash, but cash does not always command confi- dence. This company is certainly worthy of confidence, so that my strongest desire and recommendation is to engender a "get-together spirit on the part of all company and the value of our investment, together with the reputation of the man agement is based upon this
 Concerning our organization, I want to say that in my judgment, it is a most valuable asset of the company. and not only worthy of confidence but of co-oper- ation and support I have thoroughly competent and harmonious corps of men, loyal to me and to the company, and inn pressed with the fact that the success Of the company is their success. and that anything short of it means both harm and hurt to them.
 This organization embraces the liability department, bonding department, accident and health department, agency depart ment claim department. medical depart ment inspection department, bookkeep- ing and auditing department all of which departments have necessitated a vari(y of forms including the compiling of lia- -blity manual complete, automobile man ual, rates for steam boilers. fly wheels, etc, also reprinting accident and health manuals. bond manuals and plate glass manuals. In this connection would state that the greatest care has been exercised in the preparation and framing of the most up-to-date policy contracts. A bet ter idea can be formed by seeing our stock of supplies. The cost of our print ing bill aggregates s5,593.s2. In the liabi- ity department alone, we have 19 different forms of policy contracts. nine in burgla- ", six covering accident and health and disa bility, besides plate glass, steam boil CTS also bonding. which embraces va rious forms, fidelity bonds, contract bonds, public officials bonds and court bonds. It is impractical to even mention all of the various forms used by the com rany.

committee, composed of some of the busi- est men in Birmingham, for they have taxed their valuable time heavily, abso- lutely without cost to the company, when its affairs necessitated such attention, and but for their support and advice, we could not have overcome the difficulties and obstacles that we have; so that l not only want to express my great apprecia- tion of 1t, but urge upon each one to con- tinue in which case, l feel confident that with our present organization, the future will not tax them to the same extent that has been true of the past.
 I want to impress upon you, that be- sides our strong organization, and the fact that the executive and finance com mittecs are back of 1t, and in the closest touch with it. that our board of directors are men of the best reputation and. char acter; men who are successful and who enjoy the highest esteem of their fellow men, and who have money and their rep utations at stake, and that our entire make up, being in harmony, is unques- tionably establishing the company firmly in the confidence of the public, so that now If tine stockholders each and all will get together for the highest success Of the company, we will still more deserve and acquire the confidence of the public, and will make good to an extent that will be pleasing and profitable, and prove a most potent factor in adding to the great prosperity of the south. Now IS a most opportune time, in my Judgment to rally to and build up southern insurance companies, as also the building up of big banks. mercantile establishments and manufacturing enterprises, etc, etc.
 Certainly it is just as important for the south to try and retain as much Of It's money as possible, as it is to try to make as much as possible, and one way in which it can be done is for the people of the south to patronize home com paihes, such as the Interstate Casualty company.

tariff and when the next Congress con- vened there would be ready a systematic and thoroughly considered plan for re. vision.
 TarIn Revision
 There are two ways of revising the tariff" he continued. ''one by a general bill, the other by particular bills for par ticular schedules. or even particular bills for particular items. The consensus of opinion among democrats seems to be that the latter Is the preferable method and that we should proceed to revise it by separate bills, taking the most obnoxious schedules first"
 There Is to be no drastic or il-advised tinkering with the tariff laws, MT. Clark assured his hearers, and he referred sharply to criticism that any such plan was in contemplation.
 "No sane man desires to injure any le- gitimate business interest," he said, and all talk to the effect that anybody de- sires to injure legitimate business is the wicked, revengefuI and reckless utter been thrown out by reason of their own sins of omission and commission, are des- perately anxious to get in again. ITO those who understand somewhat of the tariff question, 1t is perfectly clear that it requires a vast amount Of Work 10 prepare Tor wise ana sySteHdllc ana reasonable revision of the tariff and that the same amount of preparation and in- formatio Is necessary whether the re- vision is to be accomplished by one gen. eral bill or through separate bills for sep arate schedules; for at last a general bill would be practically the sum total of the separate bills"
 Economy in the conduct of the public business was another ante-campaign promise that the party would carry out MT. Clark averred.
 '"rhe curtailment of appropriations he acknowledged, twill prove perhaps as diff ficult as the reduction of the tariff, but that both will be accomplished there can be little doubt, for this year democrats are animated by the determination to work harmoniously together and by the hope of approaching victory-a victory which will restore democratic supremacy in every department of the government
 Mr. Clark concluded by repeating his warning that harmony and fulfilled pledges were necessary for continued democratic success. He said that so far as the democratic party is concerned more depends on the action of the Sixty-second Congress than on any that has met since the Forty-fourth.
