LaFollette's Altitude

Senator La Toilette has firmly refused to join the progressives and during the last campaign was a free lance. Informa- ton, however, comes 10 Washington from the senator's friends that he believes the republican party can be reorganized along progressive lines, and he expects to be one of the prime movers in attaining that ob- ject; probably with the idea that he may have better luck next time with the stren- uous colonel on the outside.
 Senator Cummings of Iowa, another of the progressive republicans who sought the republican nomination at Chicago last June has given pretty good indication that he has no idea of progressing to the ex- tent of joining the new movement, and that he proposes to stick to the republican ship Others like Borah of Idaho. Gronna of North Dakota, and Crawford of South Dakota are expected to remain with the old organization.
 The recruiting of the progressives among the republicans of the House is rather in definite as to numbers, but the coming conference at Chicago is expected to de- velop the position of some not now posi- lively identified
 It is expected that the conference at Chi cago win also outline a course for the pro- gressives in Congress and the Senate to pursue in the coming administrations There is loud talk of their demanding rec ognition as the minority party on comniit- tees and things, but there are hardly enough of them, without they succeed m bringing into their ranks many repub- lcans. to cut much figure. Roosevelt got more votes for his party than did Taft, but the older party succeeded in electing the most members of Congress. and it is upon this basis of representation that, no doubt. the question of minority assign ments will be decided.

.MUCH INTEREST IN
 BIRMINGHAM CASE
COnstitutionality of Present Per Cent Assessment
 Clause to Be Tested

Montgomery. November 2s.-(speeial.)-- Much interest is attached to the case which will be heard before the supreme court this week. involving the sonstitu- tionaltv of the present per cent assess ment clause. which has come up from the city court of Birmingham. The case is styled the state vs. the Birmingham Southern Railroad company, and was in- stituted for the purpose of testing the validity of the present per cent feature of the revenue bill. In the lower court. presided over by Judge c. C. Nesmith. r was held that the clause was constitu- tional.
 The state is attempting to prove this feature of the revenue bill unconstirn- tional. and if this is done, it will affect assessments in all parts of Alabama. Gov ernor O'Neal and some of his best legal advisers believe the present per cent as- sessment clause unconstitutional.
 The ease will probably be heard tomor- TOW, and if not will go over to next week. The state is represented by he att torney general and Jesse Stallings of Bir- mingham.

Ny C. E. STEWART

Washington. November 2s.--(Speeial)-- Without regard to political affiliations or alignments, men whose positions in public life enable them to feel the nations pulse. are of the unified opinion that so stable is the present prosperity, and so sure Is it's foundation that the cries of the few political pessimists who are tearing their hair over the advent of a demo- cratic administration will not be needed.
 American granaries are bulging with the fruits of a bumper harvest, and upon every hand may be heard the wheels of industry grinding the nation today is baslSing in the sunlight of unprecedented prosperity. and there is nothing in the way of it's continuing to do so.
 So long as the farmers continue to reap harvests such as they garnered this fall bankers and statesmen declare that no political disturbance is expected. The great business interests of the country have already determined the attitude of the incoming administration, and they take the word of the leaders of the demo- cratic party that nothing need be feared from the party in power by the legitimate business of the country.

Not Urged to Become Reckless

The people of the country are not being urged to convert themselves into spend thrifts or to become reckless because of good times, but they are assured that they will have opportunity to continue the prr- suit of their ordinary occupations without restoring to the parsimony advised by the alarmists who ever foresee the de- presslon of hard times occasioned by the closing down of factories and industries because of adverse legislation.

War Would Not Hurt Business

The merchants say that should there by any possibility be a disruption of Euro pean peace the opening of greater markets for American wares and produce would in- evltably result This nation so the mer- chants say, would be the storehouse to which those countries would turn to feed, elothe and equip the armies sent into the fields.
 Politicians cite as the strongest evidence of continuance of business equilibrium the fact that even during the heat of the campaign just closed the slump that us- ually accompanies a national election was not in evidence. The general public, they say, was convinced that the nation was prepared to withstand political changes and lacked fear of the results. Now, they add even in the face of the fact that the President-elect has announced his intention of calling an extra session of Congress to deal with the tariff-the bug bear which has been so effectively used to frighten business-there is no appre- hension felt and no disposition to restrict buying and the making of permanent inn provements, as there have been in the past. to see what the result of legislation may be.
 It is noteworthy that this feeling exists even among the leaders of the republican party. Members of President Taft's cab met do not take a gloomy view of the situation Secretary of Agriculture Will son, who for 16 years has been in con stant touch with the husbandmen of America, is among the optimists, assur- ing the nation that the agricultural pock- cts are full.
 Another member of the cabinet. whose position enables him to speak for that other great factor in American industrial life, is equally confident. Secretary of Commerce and Labor Nagel says that this country has now reached the point in its political history where it's political needs and industrial ideas may be worked out without disturbing the welfare of busi- ness
