RAILROAD FARES
The Thatcher Bill to Provide the Rail-.
road With an Opportunity to In
crease Passenger Fares in Ohio
Test Vote in The House.

Second only to the wet and dry
measures which have occupied atten-
ton of the legislature, has been in
terest in the favorable action by the
Utilities Committee on the amended
Thatcher bill, which gives railroads
a chance to secure an increase of reve-
nue. from passenger service, by prov
ing to the Public Utilities Commits
sion what they have proved to the
legislature, to-wit, that on all but a
few lines in Ohio, passenger service
is carried at an actual loss.
On the test vote the house divided
72 to 33, indicating favorable action
on the bill. An analysis of the vote
shows that the chief opposition comes
from the single tax enthusiasts of
Cuyhoga county. Some of the Hamil-
ton county delegation which voted
against the measures on the test vote
are known to be for it on its merits.
cultural men throughout the state
continue to express themselves in very
definite terms that the most immedi-
ate return of prosperity is to be ex-
pected by giving the railroads a
square deal. 1t is expected that the
Thatcher bill will come up for pass
age early in the week of May 3rd.
The first vote which has given any
indication of those who are in favor
of fair play to the railroads resulted
as follows:
Favorable: Attic, Andrews Baker,
Barnes. Beetham, Beitler, Besaw,

1t, Told in Two Chapters Might
Have Been Honeymoon Trip For
The Inspector But Not Pleasant
For the Postmaster of Guam.

We have often heard the saying
that. Truth is stranger than fiction"
but most people have the impression
that it is not. always SO interesting:
Here is story that is true and also
interesting; the first chapter appear
ed as news item in the Tribune last
February and we reproduced. it as it
first appeared in the Tribune with Ger
tain corrections made by a person
who is a reader of the Tribune and
happened to be acquainted with the
conditions as the original writer of
the article in the States was not.
:. The second chapter is supplied en-
tirely by the above mentioned "reader"
who is conversant with all the facts
in the case and who resides at the
"Other End" where the story reaches
its climax and at least one of the
characters begins upon an existence
that can scarcely come under the
head of "happily ever. afterwards"

 No cities in the United States except New York and Chicago, exact a higher business license than Birmingham, and neither New York, Chicago, or any other city that know of, puts on so many and so heavy burdens in the aggregate, as the people of Birmingham have to sub- init to.
 The issuing of bonds does not pay our city's indebtedness, nor serve to decrease the tax rates for with all the bond issues in the past, there has never been one dollar of the city's debts paid. and though we have doubled our citys tax rate We are still adding thousand dollars day to the towns Indebtedness.
 Then what must we do to be saved?
 I say. first let The Age-Herald con- tinue to open its columns to those who can, and are anxious to present the facts of mismanagement and inefficency of our present board of commissioners, two of whom, have in the past, occupied the mayors chair.

Working Up-The Railroad Man
By CARL H. MILAN Director Public Library

Railway economies is the subject cov- cred in this article. The library has books on all phases of the transportation business. but they cannot all be discussed at one time.
 A book that sound welcome note in these troublous times is "The Truth About the Railroads' by Howard Elliott. The author introduces his subject by sug- gesting that it is time to give the rail- roads 8 breathing spell. to eliminate some of the useless and pnnecessary restric- tive law under which they are compelled to work. and to permit them to solve the very serious problem of giving the pub lie what 1t wants in railroad service by encouraging friendly relations and friend ly discussion with the public. The book deals with rate making, the farmer and the government. the effect of public opin- ion, etc.
 A book whose title indicates another point of view is Railway lfisrule." by B. D. Kenna. An interesting feature of this book is an appendix shq Ting mileage, capital stock, net income. ghest ouota-

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Dr. Dozier on Bond Issue 10 the Editor of The Age-Herald:


 What shall we do to be saved?
 This is the exclamatory question ever rising from the hearts and lips of those who are distressed and in despair and my answer is, give publicity to the causes Of the trouble. But, before proceeding with what have to say, desire earnest 1y to exprss my sincere thanks to you, MT. Editor, of The Age-Herald, for your liberality to the oppressed people of Bir- niingham in giving space in your columns Of Fridays issue, to the well timed, well written, enlightening communication of Dr. Charles P. Copeland, concerning the proposed bond issue
 Enough of such calculating facts, will beyond doubt, enlighten us as to the prop CT course to pursue and to answer for ourselves the question. What must we dc to be saved?"
 The facts set forth in Dr. Copeland's article are enough to make us pause and carefully reflect, before voting for the two proposed bond issues.
 l have been a resident of Birmingham more than quarter of century, and do not recall a single instance of a term of mayor or of city administration, in all that time, when there has not been a demand for the issuance of bonds, there Of vhe city, issued bonds in 1901, 1902, 19O3 1889, 1890, 1903, 1908. 1909 1910, 1911-all these by the old city of Birmingham; and in addition, the suburban towns now a part 0 fthe city, issued bonds in 1901, 1902, 1903 1905, 1906 1907, 1908, l909-all of which is now the debt of Birmingham, and in the aggregate amounts nearly $6,OO100O the annual interest on which is a staggering load on the taxpayers, and is every year growing in volume while additional ex- penses of business licenses, levied assess ments, personal taxes, has put up the price of house rent and of everything elso that augments the cost of living, and still the cry is "help me- Casslus, or 1 sink i. e., give us more bonds, even though they increase our burdens, dis parage home ownership, decrease real estate values, and depreciate the attrac- tiveness of all of our splendid and other wise inviting natural resources, and wnIcn

CARING FOR TURKEY FLoCKS
Fowls Should Not Be Encouraged to

have no lice, and that their roosts are
free from mites. They should be
sheltered in an open shed, but better
roost in the trees than in the chicken

AVOID DISEASE IN POULTRY
Practical Methods for Prevention and
Treatment Given by Agricultural
Department Expert.

DR.. George Byron Morse, United
States department of agriculture, has
given practical methods for the pre-
vention and treatment of disease in
poultry that can be conveniently fol-
lowed on most farms. We summarize
them here:
1. Clean out by giving EPSON salts.
2. Clean up by spreading powdered
air-slacked lime.
3. Clean the water supply by add.
ing permanganate of potash.
4. Clean the food by preventing
contamination or heating.
S. Clean the eggs by dipping in
grain alcohol.
6. Clean incubators and brooders
by scrubbing with hot water and soap.
7. Clean the breeding by using
young females.

LOOKING TO CIVIC BEAUTY
Builders Have Come to Recognize
Value Of Good Appearance Of
Buildings and Streets.

Gradually all phases of commercial
industry are coming under the influ-
ence of the city-beautiful movement,
comments the San Francisco Call. Fac
tories erected today secure sufficient
ground area to have some landscape
gardening roundabout the building or
buildings. Even railroads, those sup
posed ''soulless corporations" are
now quite generally embellishing sta
ton grounds and rights Of way. The
schoolhouses, both rural and city, are
being much improved in surrounds,
being much helped by the school gar
dens, and the whole land is becoming,
each year, more deeply engrossed in
making more beautiful America, and
California is well up in the list. Let
US not grow faint-hearted in the work.
