REDUCTION PREMATURE

Eve have always felt that this reduc-
ton was premature, coming. as it lld
while Birmingham was in an acute busi-
ness depression. The community has not
entirely recovered from this depression.
so that in view of the premature reduc-
ton made last September. we feel that
the reduction proposed for January /,
1917 is as great as we can consistently
make.
This amounts to reduction of five
and one-haif (512) per cent to residential
consumers and a slightly smaller and
varying saving to larger consumers oper-
ating under this schedule.
I'm this connection, we desire to call
your attention to the rapidly increasing
cost of practically all commodities, With
the exception of those furnished by this
company.
"You will note that future reductions are
governed by the increase in our business
within the city limits of Birmingham; in
other words. future reductions occur au-
tomatically as the number of people
served increases. Assuming that the
cost of production remains the same and
forgetting that the cost Of copper. poles.

STATEMENT OF CASE

Accompanying President Pevear's re-
quest is the following formal statement:
Birmingham, November d. 1916.
1.-THE Alabama Public Service Commits
sion, Montgomery, Ala.
Gentlemen: We are today submitting
for your approval, a new schedule OF
retail and commercial lighting rates, and
in this connection desire to call your
attention to the following explanatory
facts.
"It has always been the policy of this
company, as the business has extended
and as operating conditions have i'm
proved, to share the benefit derived
therefrom with its patrons in the form
of voluntary reductions in rates. The
last reduction, however, which resulted
in the present schedule of rates now in
effect. was not voluntary; on the other
hand, was ordered by the city commits
SION on September IS. 1915, and became
effective about the 1st of October
ITO be exact. this action was taken by
the city government on the Saturday
preceding the Monday on which it, was
expected that final action would be taken
by the legislature on the benson bill
which placed the regulation of these rates

NOT DISCONNECTED BY DECISION.

Though disappointed somewhat owe the decision ot the state H.
preme court in the matter OF paving Carson and lntersectng streets,
the proponents OF paving are no discouraged. Rather, as the supreme
court has pointed Il the way by which their desires cal be attained,
they will work the determinedly for the accomplishment of those
desires.
While IN the view of the supreme our the paving of Carson street
is not al emergency, it is in NOR senses than N a necessity and means
much for the future OF Carcon City-mnch more than many people OF
the community appreciate.
There is no doubt but that a great majority OF the people OF ar
O desire paving Of the main street and that desire las never Tor mann
tested itself than since the supreme court rendered Its decision, and n O
doubt within a very few days the board OF city trustees will b e asked
pr petnioned 70 call a special election in such manner as provided by
the statutes and as suggested by the supreme court.
There are evidences now that Carson "a DE pulled o. the slough
i'm which it has been mired for the past ten years and again put IN tire
lists Of progressive towns and in which it properly belongs, for there is
no town or section IN Nevada which possesses as many natural recourres
as Carson and it requires only a little effort and concerted action Ito de-
say o cite the creamery matter. Its real agitation began only ten
days ago. Developments today indicate that within three months n
will be in running order. And the same effort put forth in concert Will
bring other enterprises. But as the prerequisite fer these things there

THE PRICE OF GASOLINE.

Few motorists have felt confident that the government could keep
down the price of gasoline. Another long chapter OF litigation might be
combine might decide that the consumer ought O be assessed another
advance to pay for the cost of the suit.
More hopeful is the report that automobile manufacturing interests
are moving to form a independent company to produce gasoline O
their W account.
The manufacturers Of motor cars could hardly let the price go much
higher without serious loss t. their business. The costs OF running a
automobile art already high With a 80 cent price of gasoline. many
intending purchasers would conclude that the walking will be very good
this summer. Also the railroads will get you to your destination quite
promptly. The manufacturers must protect the public that uses their
product or e their business drop.

fight fire and young men can be
brought to a town by adding new in
dustries.
Boards of trade and chambers Of
commerce view these situations in the
light that it is as important to keep
the young men in the town in which
they have been reared as it is to draw
new blood into the town. A town is
hardly holding its own when young
men are leaving it by the score. For
in most cases, when a young man
leaves home to go to work he is ir-
revocably gone.
The farmer is hard hit by this
exodus to the cities and the muni-
tion plants. He plants his crops with
no assurance that he will be able to
properly cultivate and harvest them.
And here the town merchant is dealt
a staggering blow, for the soil is the
source of all money values and when
the farmer is poor the business of the
town and the city becomes poor and.
i'm the course OF time. there is a re-
turn to the soil for a livelihood.

enough TO believe that when the Democrats say
the Tariff Boarl shall be non-partsan that they
will keep their word The bill which will pass will
provide for non partsanship but the commission
which will be appointed by President Wilson is no
more likely to be non-partsan than the Federal Trade

It win be remembered that on the Federal Trade
Commission there is not single Republican of def
mite hue. There alleged Republicans. whose
Affiliations have been Democratic for the past two or
three years
The Democrats are so certain Of passing the Tariff
Commission bill in the future that they are al
ready apportioning the Offices The first consdera-
uon Is that employees shall not come under the Civil
Service rules. The second consideration is that no
man is appointed who has any idea whatever that a
protective tariff is good thing. and he must be fur
'ne' quaihed by being capable of ignoring facts and
nsures which would ordinarily convince one OF the
necessity of protection He must he fact-nroor and

4 TOWNS YOUNG MEN.

From the Seaford Tribune.
Elsewhere in this paper is a reprint
from one of the Crisheld papers telling
that an employing agent came to that
town from Pennsylvania and induced
scores of young men to leave that town
and go to KnickerbOcker, Pa, to work
with lime and stone company.
For months country correspondence
and town columns of our weekly press
have been telling us that this young
man and the other young man has
gone to Baltimore. Wilmington, Phila-
delphia, or some other place to accept
employment with some company. Most
of the time they have gone to obtain
employment with some company sup
plying some war material and have
hoped for fortune to be made in a
few years.
The country merchant and the good
citizen of the country town view these
departures with misgiving and dissat-
isfaction These departures bode no
good for the town which is being left
behind.
II means a marked loss in popula-
ton when fifty young men leave a
town. Had they remained in the town
for a few years more it is probable
that there would have been fifty more
families in town And that is a great
loss.
But fire can be used successfully tc
