BIRMINGHAM BILL
 PASSED BY SENATE
Measure Provides For Constitutional Amendment to Give City Right to Increase Taxation

Montgomery, February S.-(Special)--A Dill providing for a constitutional amend ment by means of which Birmingham might be given the right to increase it's own rate of taxation was put through the senate late this afternoon by Senator Judge. The opposition vote was only nega- tive.
 Senator Denson of Greene made an ef- fort to have the bill recommitted, but was frustrated when Senator Judge made the charge that the senator from Greene had not posted himself on any measure save prohibition measures and that it was nat ural that he should err in matters of real business.
 In the house Jefferson county oppos- ton to this bill will be strong. and the general impression is that it will go over until the second half of the session.

FARRELL OPTIMISTIC |OVER OUTLOOK OF BUSINESS SITUATION
President United States Steel Corporation Speaks In Pittsburg On Indus
 trial Conditions

Pittsburg, February S.-James A. Farrell, president of the United States Steel corporation. took an optimistic view of the business outlook in an ad- dress here tonight before the Engineers Society of Western Pennsylvania. Co., operation in business and confidence in the restoration of prosperity were of fered about a remedy for dull times.
 Mir Farrell quoted European and American authorities who estimate American excess of exports over i'm ports in 1915 at $1.Oo0. .O0o. and de- clared the years of greatest prosperity in the United States had been when trade balances were on this side.
 The elements of prosperity are at hand" said Mir. Farrell. The steel trade has been called the barometer of busi- ness; there is marked increase in or ders and operations; more men are ob- taining employment and the trade move ment Is progressing and encouraging, and we should do everything practica- ble to sustain and advance it"
 MT Farrell said that few weeks ago "it seemed as if the prospects of ma- terial improvement in business were doubtful. but apparently, the tide has turned and each day records a marked improvement in the general situation"
 Co-Operation Needed
 Tt seems to me-, he continued, that the time has come when cooperation should manifest itself among business men to bring about conditions which will result in larger employment or labor.
 "As business men, let us give our att tention to solving industrial unrest by creating work, and creating a normal circulation in the arteries of commerce.. Our problems are national, our oppor- tunities are national; let us hear moro of national common sense and see if we cannot get back to work. Public senti- ment and governmental inclination un- mistakenly favor a live and let live as-. titude towards business.
 There is strong sentiment," MT. Farrell said., flor co-ordinated effort in trade activities. Confidence in the business future of the country" he de- clared, lis growing and a trade balance is piling up that will place the busi- ness of the country on firm founda- tions.
 We are the only nation at the pres ent time in position to assume the role of the worlds banker" he said. Money is plentiful and low rates ob- tain. Cotton has recovered in price. from 6N cents in october to fully Sh cents per pound today. Shipments to date ex- ceed 100000 bales, or two-thirds of the corresponding total of year ago. U. s. Chief Granary
 "The United States is today the chief granary of Europe. The prices received should insure for our farming popula- tion an unprecedented measure of pros perity and 1t has come to be an Aemri- can axiom that when our farmers are prosperous the whole country pros- pers
