State Engineer KclIer's Observations


 That great improvement has been made in the Birming ha m- Montgomery highway during the past three years is the opin- ion of W. s. Keller. state highway en- gineer, who came to Birmingham yes- terday with the Jackson highway path finders. Three years ago the roads were prac- tically impossible in places between Bir- mingham and Montgomery, but today there are only a few places where the least difficulty will be encountered" said MT. Keller
 With the exception of a short stretch
 in Autauga county-and this road soon will be constructed-the highway between Birmingham and Montgomery Is com plete. The road from Calera into Bir- mingham is one of the best in the state and the tourist will not fail to recognize the advantages of that highway Chill ton county also has built a splendid high way. and Fillmore county has finished a road through that county. Of course the Montgomery county road was buf1t years ago.
 Birmingham made q fine representa- tion in sending nearly 100 cars to meet the pathfnders, and I am sure the Jack sor highway scouts were much impressed. If other counties in Alabama had as fine roads to offer as Jefferson, Mont gomery, Chiffon, Shelby and Dallas, I believe the commissioners would not have any difficulty in locating the highway south of Nashville"

From the Providence Journal.
 "HE public was reminded the other
 day by a lecturer on the history of
 ! newspapers in America that this year is the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of journalism. Something unusual might be expected to happen in the celebration of an occasion so signifi- cant, and perhaps there will be no dsap- pontment this reminder of notable an- niversary was given, the students of the Pulitzer School of Journalism at Colum- bia university were being told by pr. Tal- colt Williams, the director, that he be- lieved the time to be near at hand when journalism would be put under state regu- lation and no reporter would be permitted to follow his trade without taking out a license That is, in order to qualify as a member of a newspaper staff all would-be reporters will be required to pass state examination.
 With what glee this prediction must have been received in many quarters where the hap-hazard reporters of the present day are regarded with consider able disfavor! How it would have pleased pr.

 It might be unfair to suspect pr. Will Hams of cherishing an enthusiastic hope that the practice of journalism will soon be restricted to the graduates of recog- nized schools of journalism" but that might be the practical effect of such a system of state examinations as he suE- gests With a competent" examining board the test might be most successfully passed by those aspirants who had re ceived several years of training in the theory of newspaper work, while veteran reporters in droves might ignominiously funk.
 As matter of fact, the qualifications for this sort of work are not to be deter mined by any arbitrary and purely aca- demic system In observing the three hundredth anniversary of jourpalism, 1t is of some significance to note that this venerable institution has achieved it's ex- traordinary progress chiefly through its freedom from outside control and from the hindrance of religious, academic or state interference Journalism has Its own rules. elastic as they may be, and

George 4. Carlson

We are not In harmony with those
papers that have been criticising Gov
ernOr-elect Carlson for spending his
time in Governor Ammons' office and
for assOciating with Governor Am
mons. During the last week number
OF papers have printed criticisms a
gainst the gcyernor-elcct for these
things. To our minds it shows good
judgment on the part of Mr. Carlson
The Job of being governor of Colorado
is no small task. There are hundreds
of things that must be mastered in a
very short time if the administration
is to be successful. The only way to
master these problems is to know them
Governor-elect Carlson is supposed to
read an inaugural address the minute
he becomes governor, outlining his pol
iqc for the coming two years and when
he leaves the house platform following
his Inauguration he goes to the COVER
nor's Office with the knowledge that
house and senate are already in ses-
sion and within forty days or sixty at
the outside all of the laws which are
supposed to carry out his policies must
be enacted The system is folly from
beginning to end. The governor should
be inaugurated at least one year in ad-
vance of the Legislative session of his
administration. 1t takes that long to
become acquainted with the duties of
the office. Governor-elect Carlson in
"hobnobbing" (as some of his critics
call it) with Governor Ammons is only
himself as far as posi-
BILE with the duties which he must per-
form as soon as he becomes governor.
It's no sign that he intends to be
come Democrat. neither is it any
sign that he intends to follow any of
the Ammons policies; rather is it an
indication that he is desirous of ac-
quainting himself with the situation so

that he can properly treat it later on

Mind Your Business
BESS II. Law
By Hiram Wallace

believe that the farmers in all
parts of the country pay too much at
tention to other peoples business and
no enough to their own. The farmer
must understand that his farm is a
manufacturing plant and that he is a
business man the same as any other
individual who is engaged in turning
out a finished or partly finished pro-
duct. Farming therefore is business
1t needs attention and lot of it if the
plant is to be efficient ana the product
Is to be marketed for what it Is worth
But the farmer is not minding his own
business. He lets another man make
the prices-fix the rates lie is to re-
ceive for the output of his plant The
! fellows in the cities, the stock-yards
. storage men, the commission men. the
butter, milk, cheese and egg men, these
are the persons who fix the prices the
| farmer is to receive and the prices
the retailers are to pay. And you may
be sure that between these two prices
there is comfortable profit for the
man in the middle although all that he
does is to stand there between the
two extremes of the transaction. But
that is his business and he is attend
ing to it. So he gets off at Prosper
ity Station.
Suppose all the farmers in each dis
trict were organized Suppose that
they followed the plan of the Florida
or the California Fruit Growers.
Things *naid be different. But il Is
hard to make The average farmer un-
derstanh this. He viii listen TO the
arguments Of reformers and take a
day off to vote for this or that freak
law to prohibit something that does
not affect him at all and that, there
fore is not his business. But he will
spend no time to come into town to
attend meeting that bears directly
on his misunderstanding. He will vote
for Constitutional Amendment to
prohibit the use of cigarettes, for in
stance. when the chances are that nei-
ther he nor any member of his fam
lily uses cigarettes. SO he is not mind
ing his own business. His business is
to raise the best grain, vegetables,
fruit. poultry or stock that he can: to
see that he is provided with a cheap
and sure means OF getting these pro-
duets to market and TO get the best
possible price at the market place
He cannot do these things by acting
independently. He and his neichbors
must get together, act together and
stick together. 1t may be admitted
that some farmers are awakening to
the fact that they are business men
and are conducting their plants as if
they were business institutions. Blu,
the great majority of these producers
are Just beginning to realize that it is
only by acting in concert that the
greatest good can be accomplished. Mr..
Farmer, you who read this. are YOU
mindinC your business?
