WHY? H WHY?


Why does Candidate Hughes favor ship subsidies, which the Grange
and al other farm organizations have consistently opposed for years?
Why does he oppose the farmers demand for government owned and
government operated ships, when they have made it clear that govern
ment ownership and operation are necessary to protect them from the
shipping combine and to stop gambling in farm products II the grain *
changes?
Why does he denouncc the Democratic rural credits law without
telling clearly what he proposes to put in its place?
Why does he drag the tariff back into politics? Does he not know
the Grange and all other farm organizations have urged that the tariff
be taken out OF politics by the creation OF a non-partisan tariff commits
sion? Does he % know that in response to this demand President Viii
% and the Democratic congress have created a tariff commission to help
determine what changes shall be made in the tariff by scientifically ascer-
tanned facts?
Why does he not tell us why he would abolish this tariff commission?
Does he not know that this act of President Wilson and the Democratic
congress is commended by the leading representatives OF farmers, lie
chanics. manufacturers and business mem?
Why does he condemn the warehouse act and say he would tear it
from the statute books il elected? Does he not know that this is a boon
the farmer has been working to get for years?
Why does he condemn the grain grades act? Does he not know that
such a law is absolutely necessary to protect the farmer from false grad
ing?
Why does he threaten to tear from the statute books, if elected, the
good roads bill, the Smith ever agricultural extension bill, the seamen'S
bill the child labor bill and other bills that farmers believe are plainly in
the interest of the common people?

The explosion occurred shortly after 3

Birmingham felt what they regarded as
an appreciable quake of the. earth Mr..
Horton of the weather bureau. when in

PUBLIC SERVICE
COMMISSION HAS
VERY LIGHT DOCKET
Meeting Postponed Account
of ElectiOn-Many State
Employees and Off
Gals Off to Vote

| Montgomery, November 4-(Special.)
On account of the election Tuesday, the
November meeting of the Alabama pub
lie service commission has been post
poned from Monday until Thursday, No
vember 9. The docket is very light Only
! five cases are set down, and they are
mostly of local interest
| Among the cases is the petition asking
that the Western Railway of Alabama
and the Chattahoochee Valley railway
/ be required to build and maintain
freight and passenger depot at Lanett
which is now served by the depot at
West Point, Ga Another case is the
petition of the Atlantic Coast Line for
readjustment of freight rates on com
oddities between Montgomery and points
on the Elba and Abbeville branches of
the Coast Line. For a number of years
Montgomery has enjoyed cheaper rate
into the Elba and Abbeville territory than
Troy, but since Troy has developed into
somewhat of a jobbing center, she has
been clamoring to be placed on the same
level with Montgomery. The Coast Line
proposes to raise the rates from Mont
gomery, putting them on the same basis
with Troy, but if this is done it woiid
doubtless elicit a howl from Montgom-
ery's wholesalers.
Other cases set down for the meeting
are: Aaron & MacNeal VS.. Alabama
Central Railroad company, petition for
side track IA miles north of Jasper; Dal-
las Lumber company of Selma VS.. LOUIS
vile and Nashville Railroad company,
petition for rate on lumber from points
on the Myrtle branc hof the Louisville
and Nashville to Selma; and the appli-
cation of the Jasper Water, Light and
Power company to sell it's entire property
to the Alabama Power company.
AT this session the commission also con-
templates determining whether the At
ITALIA depot case shall be reopened, and
whether the application of the Motive
and Ohio railroad for a general increase
of freight rates shall be reopened.

The many friends of Sam Guarino, for
1ner editor of the II Libero Pensiero, an
Italian paper, published in this city, will
regret to learn of his death, which oc-
cured last week in New Orleans, where
he had resided for the past three years.
Mr.. Guarino had been in failing health
for sometime and on last Sunday suf-
fered stroke of paralysis, death result
ing a few days later. He is survived
by his widow, formerly Miss Inez Ma
fonte of Birmingham his mother and
three brothers, all residing in New Or
leans.
The deceased came to Birmingham in
1907 and engaged in business here and in
Ensley. He later published the II Libero
Pensiero in this city, and sold out about
three years ago, when his health began
to fail.
Mr.. Guarino was a man OF fine attain
ments and ranked as a leader, not only
among his countrymen, but in every
movement with which he was connected.
He was one of the factors in having Co
lumbus day designated a legal holt
day in the state of Alabama, and was
prominent in social and political affairs.
His many friends here held him in
high esteem.
He was born March 6, 1875, in Bsac-
quino, Italy. and with his parents came
to New York when 10 years of age.
After finishing his education he moved
to New Orleans, where he was in bust
ness until moving to Birmingham in 1907.
Funeral services We're held from his
late residence, 1861 Gravier street, and the
interment followed in st. Vincent de
Paul cemetery.

certain classes of customers. 1t is known
as the "step' rate, and has long since
been discarded in other cities.
1T affects the consumer fiat rate for
all current consumed changes abruptly
as soon as his consumption exceeds cer-
tain fixed amounts
For example, under the present sched-
Tile. consumer using 800 kilowatt hours
would pay 81 cents par Silovast hour
and have ret bill of s26.32.
IF he should use 10 kilowatt hours
more he would then pay for 400 Silowatt
hours at 6 3-10c per kilowatt hour. and
by wasting 10 kilowatt hours, he could
reduce his monthly bill by sl.12.
"Under the schedule submitted, each
consumer pays the same rate for the first
100 kilowatt hours used. The schedule has
been figured carefully to insure against
increases in the rates of any consumer,
but in changing from the old step rate,
to the new for m of rates, 1t is impossible
to give a uniform reduction TO all con-
sumers served under this srhedule
1--WE have, therefore. worked out the
schedule submitted having in mind ben
citing the greatest number of consumers
possible. with the result that the maxi
mum reduction in the rates effective jan
/, uary /, 1917, occurs in the first 20 kilo-
watt hours consumed. Future reductions
apply to the first 100 kilowatt hours con-
| sumed.
I'm this connection, ! might state that
| the average consumption under this
schedule ranges from 25 to 80 kilowati
hours per month. Respectfully submitted

The tax amendment to be voted on
Tuesday is practically won if all persons
in favor of the amendment will go to
the polls and vote their convictions, &C
cording to Commissioner J. R. Hornady,
chairman of the jefferson county tax
amendment committee.
A strenuous campaign has been waged
throughout Jefferson county during the
past month by a special committee of 1000
with Mr.. Hornady as chairman. Speeches
have been made in all the rural districts
and in the downtown sections The
campaign will come to a close with the
mass meeting at the Bijou this afternoon.
While members of the committee are
practically sure the amendment will
carry, they urge all persons in favor OF 1t
to go to the polls and vote in order that
Jefferson may give an overwhelming ma
jority for the amendment
Jefferson county will give a substantial
majority for the educational amendment,
and 1 am positive that it will be APP
proved by the voters of the state said
Mr. Hornady. However, no friend OF
this movement in behalf of the child
hood of Alabama should permit himself
to become lax through over confidence.
We have the fight won, but we must
get the voters to the polls and have
the ballots deposited if success is to
crown our efforts.
1.-THE campaign now drawing to close
has been of great benefit to Alabama. We
have been aroused to our educational
needs as never before. Patriotic men and
women have worked increasingly, and the
result will be manifested next Tuesday in
"a great victory for education.
81 have but one suggestion to offer at
this time and this is for the voter to
remember when he goes to the polls
that he has in his keeping the destiny of
q whole generation of Alabama boys and
girls. 1t is a grave responsibility and q
great opportunity"

1916 we had in service within this area

when the number of meters installed

named in the schedule submitted, the
corresponding reductions in rates auto
matically take place. We are prohibited
from naming specific dates or even APP
proximate dates by our inability TO ac-
curately predict the growth OF Brming-

present city government proposes to erect
and operate municipal plant In compe-

project if carried out, would naturally
retard our growth and postpone future
reductions. If not carried out. the rate
