Practical Reasons for Underwood

John b. Burris, in an address at
Woodlawn Tuesday night, gave prac-
tical reasons why Alabama should not
only retain Oscar w. Underwood in
public service, but should retain him
bv such an overwhelming majority that
there could be no question in regard to
the sincerity of the compliment.
He declared that Underwood was
Alahama's greatest asset because. as
the foremost man in Congress, he not
only reflected honor on his state and
mis- people, but in virtue of his in
fjuence. could accomplish for his state
and secure favors for his state.
Mr. Burris pointed out the fact that
out of a congressional appropriation of
SIS 900 900 for public buildings through
out the United States, Underwood had
obtained for Birmingham 'one-tenth of
the total amount. He declared, too,
that Alabama had an excellent chance
10 acquire the plant for the manufac-
tnre of armor which the government
will probably construct, and pointed
out that the influence of Underwood
il this regard would be all important.
Mr.. Burris, in each of his blows, hit
the nsil Oil the head. In the first place,
Alabama needs Underwood in order
that this states honor and this states
achievements may be maintained and
continued And there are secondary
considerations why Alabama should
elect Underwood-not by a mere ma
jority, but by an overwhelming express
sion of approval. He has served long
and faithfully and should be rewarded.
He deserves the reward. He has re-
turned the talents to Alabama which
Alabama gave him and they are multi
|Elied by many fold. In contrast is the

Good Roads Organization

THE Alabama Good Roads association,
in its Is years of existence, has accom-
plished much in advancing the welfare of
the state and its citizens said man
who has long been identified with the as
sociation
1T first aroused public interest in the
benefits to be derived from increased land
valuation. more traffic with less horse
power, and cheaper distribution for pro-
ducer and consumer. Public sentiment
soon took the form of legislation, to
which the association was instrumental
in pointing the way, and almost four
years ago the state legislature voted an
appropriation of $144e00 per year to con-
tinue in effect four years, and to be
utilized to the best advantage in develop
ing Alabama roads to high efficiency. A
necessary amendment to the constitution
was effected before the act became law.
This year will mark the distribution of
the last appropriation SO far provided by
the state, but it is believed that the next
legislature will renew the law with a
probable increase in appropriation.
The membership of the association is
large and influential, and is scattered
throughout the state. 1t comprises men
under way to increase the enrolment to
10000 is receiving generous and enthusi-
astic support"

Auditorium Needed

Birmingham is in urgent need of the
auditorium, for which a Sl0o 600 bond issue
has been voted" said a prominent citizen
Il understand that the issue is held
up awaiting the decision of the supreme
court upon legal technicality involved
and the sooner the city commission forces
the issue the better for the citys general
progress There should be no unnecessary
delay in the case. The people of Br-
mingham were in earnest when a large
majority was cast in favor of the audi
torium.
THE uses to which the proposed build
ing could be put are without number.
Many additional conventions could be se-
cured for the city. 1t might be at once
a civic forum and an amusement hall
The many meetings of the citizens that
would take place in the spacious building
would harmonic conflicting interests and
promote the cooperative spirit in BIr-
mngham.
Last. but not least. there are the
sidewalk politicians, who are wont to as
sembe on some OF the busiest corners,
much to the discontinue of those who
have urgent affairs of business to attend
to, might gather and thresh out the
weighty problems of the day without caus-
ing further broadening of sidewalks and
consequent narrowing of Streets"

What the Southern Planter May Do

We have so often urged upon the
southern planter a diversification OF
crops and the raising of pork and beef
that the subject has nearly become
threadbare, yet object lessons serve to
stamp the impression more deeply and
we cannot refrain from referring to
the accomplishments of a Georgia
farmer mentioned in the columns of
the Augusta Chronicle.
This man fattened during the fall
and early winter herd OF thirty
Hereford beeves and sold them recent
ly at $35 head, receiving something
over $1100 for the bunch. The price
was considerably more than that OF
scrub cattta and the cost of fattening
was less than would have to be ex-
pended to render scrub cattle market
able. Besides inferior breeds do not
weigh so much as the graded stock
when fattened.
The animals were not stall-fed but
had grazed upon velvet beans and
field peas, and the farmer who fat
tened them estimates that the in
creased value to his land from such
grazing by way of additional fertili-
ty will excel the amount spent for the
feed of the cattle.
We have excellent grazing lands in
Alabama, and moreover there is just
as great an opportunity in this state
for our planters to do what this farm
er in question did as there is in Geor-
gia.
An expert manager can raise from a
dozen to forty beeves upon a fair
sized farm without its costing him
one cent in the final outcome so that
all which he obtains in the price of h'e
cattle above what he originally paid
for them represents absolute profit.
When will our planters see this ?
When will they cease striving for the
maximum price for cotton and send
three -fourths of their incomes away
to purchase foodstuffs for the family ?
A diminution in the quantity of cot
ton must result in higher prices, ac-
cording to the law of trade, so that
the planter loses nothing by the reduc-
tion in the amount of the staple pro-
duced and gains to the extent of his
savings in other crops and income
from pork and beef raised. This is the
secret of the success of the western
farmer ands with our fertile soil and
genial climate, little judgment p'>on
the part of the southern planter would
discount the western man and bring
the south into its own.

Birmingham Apartment Houses

Apartment houses are increasing
steadily in this city" said a member of
the Chamber of Commerce
Apartments are numerous and lux
urious in different parts of the resi-
dence section, and several great build
1ngs for this purpose are in course of
construction. The largest of these is
the Ridgely. which will soon be COM
pleted. These buildings will supply, a
long felt need, and congestion of bust
ness and residence sections have made
them necessary. In some parts of the
city business blocks are fast encroch-
ing upon territory hiterto devoted to
dwelling houses.
THE apartment house is to the resi-
dence section what the skyscraper is TO
the business district. A great advant-
age of the apartment is the co-opera-
tive service and utility in which the
dwellers share. Many people wish all
the conveniences afforded by a $50. .00o
residence, but cannot afford the invest
ment. To these an apartment greatly
appeals. In many instances public
parks supply the chance for recrea-
tion, for which the yard and garden
were thought necessary"
