SOME VERY KNOTTY
LEGAL PROBLEMS

The attorney generals office Is in
receipt OF several simple but seeming
ly puzzling questions from Denton G.,
Burdlck, who Is to be city attorney
for the newly incorporated town Of
Metolius, In Crook county,
First, Mr.. Brdck asks for one Of the
regulation charters which the state
furnishes to all towns that incorpor-
ate, explaining that II the city wishes
to have a special charter 1t will be
drafted later, Assistant Attorney
General Van Wrinkle informs Mr.. Bur
dick that the state furnishes no reg
ulation charters, but that the law
itself which makes incorporation pos
sible is a charter,
Mr.. Burdick also asks an eXplana-
tion Of the law which provides that to
decide what councilmen shall serve
the long term and who the short term
the decision shall be made by casting
lots. Talking to the reporters Mr. Van
Wrinkle said that the explanation is
very simple. It means that coin
may be tossed, straws drawn or that
the counclmen may see who can spit
the farthest, or may use any similar
method OF decision.
Another question put by Mr.. Bur
dick is whether the city officials may
take their oath before a notary. The
reply is that they may.

A Prohibition Measure

"An important prohibition measure is tl.at which would make it unlawful for railroads and express companies to de- liver liquor In prohibition states, and it may be that Congress will pass some day the anti-shipping bill which a nrem- Der of the House of Representatives has introduced" said a democrat who has always been an advocate of local op- ton.
 Prohibition leaders who have charge of legislative work say that an anti | shipping bill would have been passed in | the last Congress but for the opposi- ton of Uncle Joe Cannon. who was then ! speaker.
 While I am an prohibitionist I am in favor of the anti-shipping measure | Prohibition does not prohibit in many
 states, but I think it has operated fairly well in North Carolina, Mississippi and i Kansas. The majority in those states, and possibly the majority in one or two other states are sincere, consistent pro-
 hibitlonists If they want the state kept dry Congress should assist them in carry ling out their dry policy. As the prohi-
 bitionists say, a dry state can never be
 perfectly dry so long as the railroads
 deliver liquor to citizens of prohibition I commonwealths. If such q law were in
 effect Mississippi would be as dry as
 powder. The only way thinker in that state could indulge would be to take a l trip into Alabama or some other local option state, buy his liquor and carry it back home in his grip.
 There are now only seven prohibition states in the union-Georgia, where pro- hibiton is a farce; Maine, which re-
 mained in the prohibition column last fall by a majority of less than 30 voters
 Mississippi. North Carolina, North Da-
 kota. Kansas and Tennessee. In the last
 named state prohibition is even a greater
 farce than 1t is in Georgia. Tn the cities of Tennessee saloons have been conduct. ed openly ever since statutory prohibit

Regarding Hat in Elevator

"rhe question has long been mooted whether man should take off his hat as mark of courtesy to women riding in an elevator car,' said a southern bred man. According to custom all men take off their hats and keep them off while eating in first class restaurant, regard less of whether or no women are present. But we do not take off our hats in street cars, and we do not lift our hats when we meet a lady on the street unless that lady happens to be an acquaintance.
 T always thought 1t absurd for men to take off their hats in elevators; not only absurd but somewhat embarrassing to ladies who might be riding in the ele- vator, because it calls attention to them, and anything that makes them conspicu- ous is embarrassing. I was glad, there- fore, to see this notice posted in the ele- vator cars of the First National Bank building:
 There is no occasion for gentlemen to remove their hats in elevators. Cour- tesy does not require hats to be removed in corridors of public buildings, nor in street cars. Why should elevators be an exception?
 Space can be economiZed by keeping hats on, thus adding to the efficiency of the service and to the comfort of pas scngers.'"

Inc M,nufnc,urers, Record

The anniversary souvenir supplement- of the Manufacturers Record of Balti- more is elegant in appearance and con tains a most valuable and attractive presentation of the south's growth in 30 years. Indeed, nothing equal to 1t in statistical or Illuminating way has ever been seen.
 q remember the first number of tho Manufacturers Record. said well known member of Birmingham Vir- ginia colony. f"I was living in Rich mond when the Record made it's bow, and I remarked it's excellence. It sup piled a real need. l did not know Ed itor Edmonds then. but 1 soon came 10 appreciate him as one of the great fac tors in the south's upbuilding MT. Ed monds had enthusiasm, insight, busi- nes sense and industry. In all these 30 years his efforts in the souths behalf have been unfiagging The anniversary supplement is of permanent value and must be regarded as a choice contri- button to the south's industrial litera- ture"

Farm Committees Good Work

The report of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce's farm move ment committee is both interesting and convincing. While Jefferson county is the seat of the south's great est industrial activity, it is admirably adapted to truck farming and will in few years be known throughout the country as county of profitable mar ket gardens.
 Little attention had been given to the trucking industry hereabouts un- til about year and half ago when the Chamber of Commerce created farm movement committee. It was understood that this committee should spend about $7000 a year. By the committees report it is seen that only about $70O0 has been expended within the year and half that the move ment has been in evidence. Not less than TO home seeking families have come from the north and setted on small farms in the Birmingham dis trict as direct result of the work of the farm department. Several truck CTS have bought farms here as the in direct result of this work. This is certainly a splendid beginning, and if the farm movement is properly sup ported not less than 1000 truck farms will be in cultivation in Jefferson county within the next five years as compared with 150 or 200 that flour ish here now. Every one of the new corners had money enough to buy a little farm and experience enough to make it pay from the start; and year from now home seekers will probably be coming by train loads. 1 Baldwin county, across the bay from Mobile, is filling up with truck farm CTS. Largs sums of money have been expended to exploit that county; but here in the Birmingham district the soil is about as good as that of Bald win, and as for a market Birmingham lis the largest consuming community lin the south between New Orleans and Louisville. Birmingham as mar let, then, is an exceptionally strong advertisement for the farm move ment. With little patience, mod crate outlay of money, and continued activity on the part of the farm com
 mittee's secretary the movement will
 be attended by larger and more far
 reaching results than any other spe- cific work which the Chamber of Con- merce has undertaken.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Suggests Chicago Headquarters

'I met many democrats in Chicago who expressed themselves in favor of Underwood as the party's presidential candidate" said M. P. Messer "On the trains going and coming men were talking Underwood.
 "In Chicago I stopped at the La Sale shotel. one of the largest in the United States. l found it veritable political Mecca on the second floor of that hotel were many political head quarters Taft had headquarters there. The Cook county democracy had head quarters there, and various other po- litical interests centered in that hotei. It occurred to me that 1t would be a good thing for Underwood's friends to open headquarters in the La Sale. l did not meet a single democrat who said aught against Underwood. On the other hand I met many who seemed to think he would make an ideal Pres ident."

Anti-Parcels Post in Nashville

In the United States alone of the leading nations of the earth is the magnate bigger than the people. This fact is attested anew in the organized movement which is progressing to de- feat even limited parcels post. The following letter will explain the na- ture of the new movement:
 Nashville, February 16.
 Dear Sir-You are hereby invited to the anti-parcels post convention to be held here February 26-7-S. The ad- dress of welcome will be delivered by Hon. Hillary Howse, mayor of this city. We will be pleased in case of your ac- ceptance of this invitation to pay your transportation, which will be sent upon receipt of your favorable response. Hoping that you will find it convenient to attend the convention as requested and awaiting your early response, we remain yours truly,
 "ROBERT l.. BURCH. Chairman"
 "The four reasons" presented by John Wanamaker are using the coun- try merchant as a stalking horse, and his services are to be secured by means of free transportation.
 Congress accepts readily the duty of investigation this year, and it should ascertain and publish who it is that pays transportation to the com- ing Nashville convention" If the Nashville convention" is to be an ex- pression of country merchants in the south, why is it necessary to pay their fare to Nashville? If they are really alarmed or aggrieved they would pay their own fare.
 But the real vital point is this Who furnishes the sinews of war? Either "the four reasons" do, or else freak philanthropist is scattering gold in the rural districts. Let the. truth be be brought out. Congress has plain duty to perform in this matter. Pub. licity in relation to the proposed Nashville ''convention" is greatly needed. Let the facts be brought out

The Iron Market

Pig iron prices continue firm,' say Matthew Addy & Co. in their Cincinnati report. "In the south they are becoming stiffer each day and things are evidently moving in the right direction. Weather conditions are simply playingnnayoc with shipments. Railroads are falling down badly on deliveries, and we are flooded with telegrams and letters of complaint regarding this. This only goes to slow that foundries are running with very lit tic stock on hand and that when they place an order on a requisition they are
 in actual need and must have their iron This is true in all sections of the coun- try. There Is no better indication that melters are busy.
 Southern pipe makers are well supplied with large orders and are running full.
 More interest is being shown in the last half of this year. Buyers are be- ginning to appreciate the fact that the iron masters of the country are making little if any money at today's quotations in fact, in many instances are actually losing. They realize that if they can cover their future requirements at any thing like present prices they had bet ter take the matter under considera- ton. On the other hand producers of pig iron are not at all anxious to sell for delivery beyond the first six months. They have been up against 1t for so long that they want to share in the better prices which they believe will soon be in evil dence.
 ct< Ol~o rt,, Ina q rn la creasng, and a great many of the fur naces. both there and in the north, are regularly shipping out their daily make Undoubtedly there. is an improvement The large consumption of iren. the firm ness of prices and the demand for heavy shipments all show it.'
