mission should approve the amount
of bonds and stock to be issued for
the purchase of connecting or inter
s~ecting lines, for the betterment OF
existing roads, and the construction

requirement to the effect that these
securities should not exceed the value
OF the property acquired. or the &C
tual cost OF the work o. construction.
This would effectually prevent future
ovcrcapitalization.
The fact is that the railroad,
whether in the hands of the govern
ment or 4 private corporation, is a
natural monopoly. The steady trend
CT consolidation is the outcome OF
economic forces which cannot be
or appreciably irnpeded by
legislation. Our present railroad
system, even though it is the best in
tile world is needlessly complicated
and expensive, involving the mainte-
nance o: many unnecessary corpora
tons. There should be unity of own
ership. recognized by the law, OF
such railroads as are now linked to-
gcthcr in Interstate commerce, re
gardless OF state boundaries. As
state legislation CanUCt accomplish
this, the railroad corporations should
be natiOnal-the creation of the gov
eminent whose jurisdiction is as
broad as interstate commerce itself.

some governmental device for getting

some governmental device for getting
the needed facts. | refer, of course,
to voluntary arbitration. At the time
the present mediation act was under
discussion, preliminary to its passage,
there was some talk of providing
compulsory arbitration. That talk
has been revived in the course of the
controversy now pending. But the
United States ought not to have
compulsory arbitration, if it means.
in its logical outcome, involuntary
servitude. There would be no point
in compelling the opponent to arbi-
trate, whether or no, unless you could
compel them later on to abide by
the award Of the arbitrators and, in
the case Of the men, make it oobliga-
tory for them to remain at work.
"On the other hand, il you admit
the principle that they can all give
up their jobs at nee and combine to
prevent others from taking their
places, that means hat there is al
ways the possibility of paralysis Of
the entire country. 1t means the pos
sibility OF civil war. A strike of the
dimensions of the one now threat
ened would be civil war. 1t is idle
to ignore the fact that such a strike
could not be won without force, and
that the strikers would use force.
And there would be nothing left for
the public but to use force, too, in
the shape Of the military and every
other agency at the disposal of the
government to offset violence and
keep the roads in operation. 1t seems
barbarouS and uncivilized. but civ
ilization has not yet devised any
other way. 1t will find a way event
ually and there is no need for dis
enlargement. Reason and persua-
sion go much further than they used
to in these Matters. When We have
learned how, they will go all the way
in every contingency.

for this country, ii it would adopt it,
a policy much better than federal
ownership, and that is federal incor-
poration of the railroads. Such in
corporation would unity and simplify
the railroad administration OF the
country as a whole. 1t would res
ognize the evolution Of the transport
tation industry under which the oper-
alton and management OF almost the
entire mileage has come under the
control OF a very few w~ell-knOwn
groups or systems. By such lnCOr-
poratiOn and control the taxes OF
railroads could be made fixed and
certain. That would also be true Of
dividends. SO that hereafter an in
crease OF business would tend mathc-
matiCally. either to a betterment OF
the road, to al increase in wages, or
to a diminutiOn in rates.
Il would require that all railroads

Bradstreet's Says Consump- tion Is Greater Than Pro-
 duction of Commodities
By Hop

New York. December s.-Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
 Consumption continues to overtax production, and in some respects even greater velocity than heretofore is evidenced, numerous lines having all and more than they can handle. Yet there are a few halting signs, such, for instance, as less feverishness in pig iron, possibly due to the fact that prices are up all around, diminished buy ing of some food products that have been sujected to boycotts, complaints of warm weather retarding retail trade in reasonable merchandise, with inti-' nations from the interior districts of the spring wheat northwest that per haps country dealers are temporarily oyer-stocked. But over and beyond such cross currents as have developed are evidences that holiday buying is of enormous preparations, that numer- ous industries are impeded by inability to get sufficient cars for receiving or sending out products, that jobbers as we'll as wholesale purveyors of staple merchandise are making record break ing sales, that wages as well as divi- dends keep going up, and that invest ment securities continue to be absorbed on 8 large scale.

DR. SAYRE'S DEATH

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In the death of Dr. Herbert A. Sayre, professor of mathematics at the Uni versity of Alabama, the state has suf- fered loss which is sure to be more and more deeply felt as the years go by. The work of the faithful and conscientious instructor in the class room is apt to be undervalued by the world at large. From the nature of things it does not obtrude itself upon the public view. pr. Sayre possessed to an unusual degree the unassuming modesty of the true scholar He claimed for himself far less of recog- hilton and of tribute than he merited.
 In his special department pr. Sayre's writings showed in the opinion of com potent critics marked originality and power His friends respectfully realized that his mathematical talent remained il. part an unharvested field, since in his later years uncertain health forbade him close and systematic ap- plication to research. Tn spite of ab- stacles Dr. Sayre was a most efficient teacher and kept in constant, sympa- thetic touch with many spheres of thought.
 For breadth of culture, for -keenness of intellect. pr. Sayre had few equals in this state and not many superiors in the nation. His sincerity, his cam dor his fairness and tolerance for other mens opinions were, and i'm deed continue to be, an inspiration to all who knew him well and were priv ileged to share his companionship. Pa tient and tactful instructor. just off, cjaI, loyal and helpful friend and colleague, pr. Sayre deserves to have his memory long and affectionately cherished by the state in which he lived and by the institution which he served MALCOLM c. BURKE. Tuscaloosa, December 6, 1916

MORE GREEN COTTON
, the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 I read in your paper last night that two farmers in Calhoun county had a new cotton; one was Green, the other Brown, and spoke of it's fine lint, etc, and would save the cost and trouble of coloring it. Now, I have a green cotton. found one stalk in a crop that was planted in seed sent from the department of agriculture, and I saved the seed. planted it. and saved the. seed. I have enough seed to make several hundred plants in 1917. This cotton is as green as green gets, and is the longest and finest lint I ever handled. Now, if there is anything to it, I will plant and give extra time to this patch and make every plant possible, so as to get seed to di- vide with others. Give this space. so can get in communication with my Cal houn county friends, and we may be or some help to the world in natural color cotton. J. J. B. McELRATH.
