| there in the iron business Oscar Un-
derwood began the practice of law in
his adopted home and was successful
from the beginning. In 1894 he was
elected to congress-, winning a ter
rife fight on the issue Of the tariff.
Birmingham then was sharing in the
general industrial depression Of the
country, its boom had long ago col
lapsed, and its business was stagnated.
Being an iron and steel center it was
urged that it was suicidal to remain at
tached to the Democratic party merely
because Alabama was a southern state,
and that Birmingham ought to send to
congress a prOtectiOnist and a Repub-
lican.
Gets On Cleveland Platform.
Mr.. Underwood took the Democratic
nomination on a tariff for revenue only
plank, he placed himself squareIy on
the Cleveland tariff platform, and
fought the campaign to a successful
issue. Since that time he has had
practically no opposition and has been
reelected every two years.
Mr.. Underwood has made it clear by
repeated public statements that he is
opposed TO the principle of protection
and that he believes in a revenue tar
if. He models his tariff views on the
opening paragraphs Oh the Famous
Walker report Of 1876:
That no more money should be COL
lected than is necessary for the wants
Of the government economically ad-
ministered
THAT no duty be imposed upon any
article above the lowest rate which
will yield the largest amount Of rev.
enue
That below such rate discrimina-
ton may be made, descending in the
scale OF duties; or. for imperative rea-
sons, the article may be placed in the
list of those free from all duty.
That the maximum revenue duty
should be imposed on all Iuxuries"
Not only does he adhere to these
principles, but it is his expressed be-
lief that the south generally agrees
with him. Mr.. Underwood recently
said:
Il believe my district offers a good
illustration Of the situation in the
south regarding the tariff When I
began the practice of law in Rirming-
ham, In 1884 the population was 5000,
the city had five pig iron furnaces. but
no street cars, paving or electric
lights. In 1894. when 1 ran for con-
gress against Truman H. Aldrich. the
Republican candidate, he argued hat
birmingham needed protection and a
representative who would vote for it.
L followed the position Of Grover CIeve-
land on the tariff and I won, but the
fight was a savage one Today Biz
mingham has. according to the last
census, 1920 citizens, an increase OF
2544 percent in the last decade It is
the most rapidly growing city in the
class Of 100000 and also Of the cities
of greater population. Today Birminr-
hams annual payroIls amount to $50
