THAT immaculate "commoner, Will

and his wife cannot live on the salary
of $12, 900 per year, hence he has gone
on lecturing tour of six weeks, leav-

without head. Think of it, Bryan the
exemplar, unable to exist on his salary!

MUCH of the so-called silk nowadays
is made of wood. Germany produces
more than one million pounds of this
cellulose silk, worth 81, 800, 900. A ton
of wood worth $40 yields cellulose
worth $50, and this cellulose yields silk
worth $3.50.

WATCH the salaries go up under the
new law that permits the different de-
partments of state and commissions to
name the number of employees and fix
the salaries of the same. The tax COM
mission, normal regents and state board
of control already think $4,000 is about
the minimum for their subordinates.
Pretty soft this job holding! But what
an opening for graft!

that the railroad commission has ex-
ceeded its authority in fixing the rate,
and that the rate is confscatory. Attor-
ney General Brickel and Judge Samuel
D. Weakley argued against the railroad $
petition and cited the fact that a great
majority of the railroads of Alabama are
operating under the 2h cent rate and
have been for five years and none of
them have gone into bankruptcy The
Louisville and Nashville, it was stated,
serves the most populous sections of the
state and certainly can operate with as
cheap a rate as the shorter roads in the
remote sections.
Judge Grubb, in announcing his deci-
sion, said it would be a foolish thing
to put 2la cent rate in effect for two
or three weeks, and then perhaps have
it set aside by the three federal judges.
He held that the loss to the rairoad d
through this reduction would be irrepar-
able, and while it would probably not
bankrupt the road, would be a very sub
staDtial loss, which never could be re-
covered.
