eNDEHNoODS WELCOME HOME
From the Rochester Democrat and chron-
icle.
The city of Birmingham gave Represen-
tative Oscar Underwood, it's most distin-
guished son, a tumultuous welcome home.
The welcome was made especially en-
phatic. NOS only because of Mr.. Under
woods part in the framing of the new
tariff law, but because he has been Bit
terly attacked by Representative Hobson.
a rival candidate for senatorial honors.
The citizens of Birmingham desired to
make it clear to the rest of the country
that these charges have not affected Mr..
Underwood in their estimation, and that
they consider him worthy In every respect
to wear senator's toga. The country
at large does not regard him as a man
of unsurpassed craftsmanship and the
tariff law associated with his name has
yet to Justify itself, but opinion outside
of Alabama is practically unanimous that
his presence in the Senate Is indefinitely
more to be desired than that of Mr..
Hobson. That gentleman made what he
probably thought was an adroit appeal
to the prejudices Of Alabama democrats.
but there Is reason to believe that he
made the mistake of undertaking their in
telligence

Another Discussion of Auditorium

In discussing the matter of a loca-
ton for the auditorium, there are some
very important questions being overd-
looked" said man of an observing
turn of mind.
1T is highly necessary that the build
ing be placed where there will be the
least disturbance from not only the
noises of the street traffic, particularly
street cars, but the placing of the au-
ditorium in proximity to railroads
would be a serious mistake. For that
reason Capitol park might not be the
ebst place because of the noises from
the railroads on Ninth avenue. There
are some noises from this source that
could be abated however

Alabama's Mud Tax

The propaganda or the Alabama
Good Roads association is to take the
people out of the mud" said President
John Craft of Mobile. "The mud tax of
Alabama Is the heaviest burden of tax
alton we are paying. If our bad road
tax bills were presented annually to
our taxpayers by the tax collectors our
people would be amazed and a revolu-
ton such as the people have never seen
would be the result They would re-
sist paying any longer the mud tax.
The Alabama people would arise as one
and throw off the yoke of mud tax, just
as our ancestors did when they resisted
the payment of the tea tax imposed by
the British which took place in Bos-
ton harbor In our early period.
'rhis invisible mud tax has grated
itself into our body polite and it has
Slapped the vitality of substance thar

schools and for the development of the
states resources
Take for illustration one agricul-
tural product of our state. The cot
ton crop of 1918 is estimated at 1885,
900 balts. Our farmers are taxed to
maui IHlS Olle az ilCullutdl from
the farms to tho railroad station,
steamboat landings or to the mer-
chants. The aveage haul of nine miles
over our roads would be an average OF
20 cents per ton per mile, makes the
cost to haul a bale of cotton Sc cents.
If the roads were made good the cost
to haul a bale of cotton S. cents. If
the roads were mace good the cost
would be 10 cents per ton per mile,
an average haul of nine miles, a bale
OF cotton could be hauled from the farm
to the railroad. steamboats, or to the
merchants for 2S cents. So the farmer
pays mud tax of SO cents on every
bale of cotton he raises and has 20
haul over the dirt roads such as we
have in Alabama. This is an absolute
loss.

farmer has to sell. the average amount
will be 100000 tons. The average haul,
nine miles. at 25 cents mile, would
make the cost to haul q ton of cotton
seed over our roads, S225 per ton.
If We had good roads the cost would
only be 10 cents per tone per mile. The
ton of cotton seed could be hauled by
the farmer to the railroad station,
steamboat landing or the cotton seed

solute loss between the good roads and
bad roads on each ton of cotton seed
being s1.25 a ton. The 100000 tons
shows an absolute loss of $945,oO0 on
