 It is human nature that the own CTS of wooden mills and the textile workers should desire a measure of duty that would prevent the importa- ton of the goods they make and save them from competition with the papuper labor of Europe and they feel thoroughly and honestly cOnvinc- ed that the power of taxation by the government should be used in man ner to so protect them.

 The natural result of this is, as
 may be expected, that members of congress are elected either from dis tricts having large and vital interests in specific industries or from districts most directly interested in securing commodities as cheaply as possible. And we find those members of con greSs to whose lot it falls to look after and protect specific industries, with a strong and Well-fOunded be- lief that unless they join with others having similar interests to protect in 1 other parts of the country. they will 1 be oVerbOrne one by one by the unit

SCHOOLS CLOSED
 FOR ONE WEEK
Not Result of Alarm on Part of Au
 thorities

None of the schools of the city will closed for the week as a result of a meeting of the grammar school board and superintendent LOper with the health board and the city council yes terday afternoon for the consideration of the matter of spinal meningitis. The decision to close the schools was not the result of any action by the health board but was suggested by the gram mar schOl board, not so much as a precautiOn against a spread of the dis ease as for the purpose of placing all the pupils of the school on an equal footing. Many parents who have be- come alarmed by exaggerated stories of the disease have kept their children out of school and will do so until they get over their scare. When they return they would be a week or two be- hind their classes and it was therefore thought better to close the schools.
 After this action had been decided upon, Mayor Christy and Clerk Thom- as called upon Father Novatus and he said that he would order the parochial school closed
 But it was not the purpose of the health board to order any closing as it was not considered that the situation was alarming. No new cases have ap- peared for three days. But now that it 1 has been resolved to close the schools the trustees and the health board ad wise parents to keep their children at home. especially from mingling in | crowds.

 REVISE TARIFF
President John c. Cobb of National Tariff Commits sion Association Pleads for NOn-Partisan Revising Commission
(By JOHN CHANDLER COBB)

(By JOHN CHANDLER COBB)
 (Ihls article by the pres dent
 of the National Tariff Commis-
 sion association is presented as
 especially timely in view of the
 fact that it is proposed by the 1
 Chamber of Commerce of the
 United States of America to re-
 fer the question of the estab-
 lishment of a permanent tariff
 commission to a referendum vote
 Of the constituent bodies-
 Editor).
 In considering tariff revision it is important first to consider what the tariff is and why it exists These questions are comparatively easy to answer. The tariff is a tax levied on imports to provide funds to run the government, and it exists because the constitution in effect provides that the money to run the government shall be largely provided by duties on
 imports. l use the words in effect because although there is nothing mandatory in the constitution on this point the effect of the provisions giv- ing to the national government the exclusive right to levy duties, and restricting it's power to levy other forms of taxes, practically makes it necessary that a large proportion of the expense of the government shall be derived from import duties
 There is nothing in the constitu- tion indicating that the tariff should hn -n lcpl home production, and no indication that the idea was ever thought of when the constitution was framed. But the fact that it did of necessity protect and encourage home prOduc- tiOn of articles on which duties were levied became evident, and gradually the idea of it's use for this purpose developed into the theory of a pro- tectiVe tariff, with result that during the last generation or more it has l been fully appreciated that the power to levy import duties gave to the national government the power to | raise or lower the price of cOmmOdi- 1 ties to an extent that may on the one | hand affect the cost of living to the 1 community, and on the other encour- age and create industries and com munities. or ruin them.
 A revision of the tariff. therefore means the passage by congress of a I tax bill to produce money to run the ! government. with a full appreciation | of the fact that every item in that l bill is going to affect some industry l which is employing labor and SUD- 1 porting q portion -of our community
 and is also going to affect in some | degree the cost of living.
 | This condition of affairs necessarily l brings about a violence of discussion and intensity of feeling over the 1 tariff, which leads to grossly eXag- 1 gerated statements for campaign pur- 1 poses, and tends to inStil into tine | community SentimentallE excited l feeling on tariff questions, which 1 makes us forget that the tariff is a i hard practical business question. anC i that each item should be carefully

WELDING PROCESS
A BIG MONEY SAVER

When your engine breaks down you
more. Instead you call up the auto
genous welder the phone and he
puts his apparatus into an automobile
and brings it to your broken down en-
gine and fuses the broken joints then
and there so that the machine is strong
er in that spot than il ever was be-
fore
While 1t may be still wise to throw
the broken watch against the curb
stone and buy another the famous say
ing does not apply to broken machinery
made of iron or steel. The portable
welder is really wonderful thing The
welding machine which is operated un-
der a flame of 1000 degrees Farenheit
is readily portable to any shop and
when the welder reaches the broken
machine he turns his blast of fire upon
the break and with his vices to hold
it while the metal melts he YIELDS the
parts back again by n pure process of
fusing. Even the edges of the re-
fuse machine with a pencil point flame
which carries blast of more tran 5000
degrees Farenheit.
The welding business in Birmingham
has grown to large proportions since
the invention of this machine. Its use
has saved engines and presses that
We're supposed to be irretrievably
smashed and have saved the owners OF
the machines many thousands of dol
lars.

BOLTS AND NUTS

BIC INDUSTRIES
Birmingham Plants Give
Great Care and Atten-
tion to Their Manu-
facture

Millions of dollars worth of machinery
is put together annually with Birming-
ham-made bolts and nuts. The bolt fac
tories Of the city turn out their product
In every known size and form and sup
ply countrywide trade with bolts and
nuts from the size used in the simplest of
pots and other domestic hardware TO
those which hold together the greatest of
engines and boilers and gigantic hydraul-
ic presses.
Several hundred men are employed In
the shops which produce these iron
clamps and the delicate machinery used
in making the various size of threads for
the many different bolt ends and heads
constitutes an investment of several hun
dreds of thousands of dollars.
The bolts and nuts are made in incred-
IDLY short time from bars of iron which
are shipped into the shops in car load
lots. Tn filling a great order from some
of the larger machine shops or railroads
of the country the iron is first cut into the
required lengths for the bolts; then at
white heat the bolts are shaped, long
cylindrical, and straight, or curved to
be used.
Then other iron is cut into the form of
thousands of nuts and these are put upon
the machine. which cuts the thread in
every one of them the exact reverse of
the thread upon the bolt. Then the nuts
and bolts are put together, each batch
tagged with its size and number and the
consignment is shipped, sometimes within
two days of the receipt of the order.
When it is considered that some of the
orders call for bolts and nuts of astound-
ing size in quantities of thousands of
pounds the magnitude of the industry in
birmingham can be imagined

But beside that we have many con-
tracts to ship great concerns their entire

for new machinery of possibly their own
make, or for repairs. 1t is amazing what
tremendous amount of bolts and nuts
are used in large harvester factory, for
instance, and some of the factories find
that we, with our special machinery and
expert workmen, can turn out their sup
ply for them as cheaply as they could
make 1t themselves, and much more ex-
peditiousy. Then, of course, there is the
enormous trade to the hardware stores
of this and cities in the vicinity If the
size and number of our orders from this
source is any indication the people at
large, in the small shops, in the home and
on the farm. must be using more machin-
cry requiring bolts and nuts than ever be-
fore. Indeed. this general trade has al
most doubled in the year and keeps on
Oily increasing.
The industry itself is one of the most
substantial in the city, for it Is founded
upon the same general necessity that is
the rock-bottom basis of the trade in
foods and clothing. The invention of new
and greater pieces of machinery has had
the effect of creating a demand for larger
and differently formed bolts and nuts and
to meet that demand the local shops have
installed the most modern and rapid bolt
ma king devices known.
I don't think there is bolt or nut used
upon any machine in the world which we
cannot dep1cate Immediately said the
manufacturer. 1T is this fact which ac-
counts for our extensive trade not only
in Birmingham and vicinity, but all over
the south and southwest as well, and the
trade is expanding even beyond the
southern borders"
