 And again those progressives of whom the captain has forever spoken with heartfelt praise, supported the toll exemption clause. Victor Murdock, the progressive to whom the captain has often referred supported that bill.
 Therefore, he can no longer charge that MT. Underwood is other than a progressive. As matter of fact the captain himself has. said nothing through the public press. Were he to talk someone might ask him; Why weren't you there?"

Passenger for Director

w II. Hassinger of the board of
 directors of the First National bank
 and a member of the executive com
 mittee. has been centered upon by
 local bankers as the Birmingham
 director of the regional reserve bank to
 be located in Atlanta. This information
 was generally understood yesterday.
 MT. Hassinger has been requested to
 permit the Birmingham bankers to of
 fer his name and it is stated that he
 has agreed to consider the matter. No
 official of the banks of this city par-
 ticipating in the creation of the re-
 serve bank will be a candidate or would
 accept place on the board. There will
 be six directors elected from the banks.
 In addition there will be three diree-
 tors elected by the federal reserve
 board yet to be appointed.
 Next to the Whitney National bank in New Orleans the First National of
 Birmingham is the largest bank in dis trict No. It. is accepted as matter of course that one of the directors of the bank will come from Birmingham. The belief Is general that the officers of the bank forming the group which will be centered in Atlanta will ap- portion the members to the states in- volved. giving one director to each state, or two, as the case may be.
 When the announcement was made def1nately yesterday morning that the reserve bank had been lost to Birming- ham there was quickly suggested that a movement be started to get President Harding of the First National to ac- cept a place on the board. However, that was abandoned as MT, Harding's friends were advised that he would not take the place on account of his dutiea be- ling so exacting at the First National. iThereupon 1t is stated that MT.

THE TEST.

Where did our Bull-Moose friend
George w. Perkins acquire this highly
fantastic notion of American institu-
tions?-
We have succeeded with the expert
ment of government on this hemis-
phere on the centralized and co-opera-
tive plan, reducing destructive competi-
ton to minimum, and now that the
necessities and best interests of our
people require that we at least try to
do business on a somewhat similar plan,
our statesmen are putting every posi-
BILE obstacle they can in our way.
The only centralized and co-opera-
tive PLAN of government that we know
anything about in the United States
exists in the Socialist and Progressive
platforms. The only government that
the American people have had actual
experience with is neither centralized
nor cooperative. 1t is de-centralized
and individualistic.
1t starts with the town and local self
government. Out of this is developed
system of State government, with all
its powers defined. Those powers not
defined are reserved to the people Out
OF tie State government is devt Hoped a
Federal government of enumerated and
delegated powers. Those powers not
expressly delegated are reserved to the
States and to the people.
Instead of the centralized and &C.
operative government which exists ir
Mr.. Perkins's imagination, we have q
highly competitive government.
Mr.. Perkins's dream of government is
dream of Prussian bureaucracy. That
is what he means when he glorifies the
Capitalization and cooperation of Ger
many. A Prussian bureaucracy has
many excellent qualities, especially ir
the way of cash register efficiency, but
it can never be government of the
people, by the people and for the people
Should the Roosevelt Perkins theory

AN INCOME TAX MANUAL.

"a treatise on the Federal Income
Tax Under the Act of 1913," by Roger
Flo ster of the New York bar, lecturer
on Federal jurisprudence at the Law
School of Yale University, is published
by the Lawyers Cooperative Publish
ing Company, Rochester, N. Y. 1t is
the latest and with its l, 026- pages the
largest and most comprehensive book
upon the income tax that has been is
sued.
Besides the forms and regulations
prescribed by the Treasury Department
for returns by taxpayers, this book con-
tains the British statutes, upon which
are modelled the provisions for the ad-
ditional or super tax and for the pay
ment of the tax upon income at the
source. 1t is the only American work
containing the English, Irish and Scotch
decisions upon those subjects.
The work consists of eight parts
First, treatise upon the act. Next,
the income tax sections of the statute,
without comment. Then the statute
annotated with digest of the authori-
ties. This is followed by the applicable
sections of the Revised Statutes and all
the previous Federal statutes. Then
are inserted all the statutes in the diff
terent States of the Union which i'm
pose an income tax; the English acts of
1912, 1853, 1873, 1907 and 1910; selec-
ton of leading cases in the Federal and
State courts upon the subject; finally,
the Treasury regulations and forms
which were promulgated before the
book went to press last week.

FEED THE BIRDS.

No is the time of all others when the
thoughtful and compassionate, should
make some provision to supply the
birds with food. The snow is deep upon
the ground, and the food supply for
many of our winter birds is completely
cut off. For some of these a lump of
suet or of any unsalted fat, susper ded
in tree, will be sufficient For others,
the sweepings of the barn floor or a
forkful of cheap hay scattered about the
premises will mean the difference be-
tween life and death. Birds can endure
almost any degree of cold. Nature has
provided them with warm covering,
which they render more effective by
raising the feathers slightly on a cold
day or night, thus securing the added
protection of a covering of so-called
dead air, ;" one of the most efficient
on-conductors of heat in the world.
One may often see them of a cold day,
perched in some sheltered nook, and
looking like ball of feathers. With
such protection they can wait in measur-
able confidence for the cold spell to
pass, but they must have food. The
normal temperature of the bird is sew
eral degrees higher than than that of
man, but food is the fuel required to
maintain this high temperature, and

LINCOLN MEMORIAL BEGUN

Washington, Feb. II. While freez-
ing winds swept across the Potomac
from the Virginia hills, where stands
the Lee mansion at Arlington, a bare
headed southern officer of the civil war
today opened the simple exercises that
marked the breaking of the ground for
the construction of the great white
marble memorial which the nation is
about to erect to Abraham Lincoln.
This day, the 1O5th anniversary of Lin
coins birth, was chosen for the break
ing of the ground from which the
$4,000, 600 structure will rise as rapidly
as the contractors can push the work.
Joseph C. S. Blackburn, former sena-
tor from Kentucky, was the first to
sink spade into the ground and then
with uncovered head he spoke in high
praise of the memory of the President
against whom he fought half century
ago.
''This memorial will show that Lin
coin is now regarded as the greatest of
all Americans, said ex-senator Black
burn, land that he is so held by the
South as well as the North. Today we
let the country know this great work
has been begun and will be carried on
steadily until its completion"
In the Senate today it was a
southerner who made the motion to ad-
journ out of respect to the memory
of Lincoln. The motion was made
without Encouragement by Senator
Overman of North Carolina, following
the reading of Lincoln's Gettysburg adj
dress by Senator Bradley of Kentucky.
1t was SENATOR Kenyon of Iowa who
had suggested that the Senate might
well pause moment to observe the
birthday anniversary.
The House, too, paused in its deliber-
atoms to pay its respect to the memory
