WEATHERLY DOES
 NOT LIKE EPEVEAR'S
 VEIL OF HUMOR"
Says This Is Habit of Cor porations When Charged With Law Vio-
 latiOns

Commissioner James Weatherly reiter-
 ated his charges against the Birmingham
 Railway Light and Power company in an interview yesterday concerning the statement of J. S. Pevear, president of
 that corporation. The commissioner Of public utilities stated that it appeared to be the disposition of corporations
 when placed on the defensive to hide behind a veil of humor.
 Tt seems to be the disposition of cor pcra ton magnates," said Commissioner Weatherly, when charged with practices
 in violation of the law in behalf of their
 corpora tions to hide behind veil of hu- nor.
 President J. S. Pevear of the Birming ham Railway Light and Power company wastes a great deal of language and newspaper space some features of the stress. He slurs over the only serious part of the law by hiding behind the ad- | vice of counsel, and ignores that part of my interview, which, by the way, con- tained my name and official address, which was directed to show the unrea- scnableness of the companys rates for | light and power.
 MT. Pevear did not explain how or lwhy he can charge 80 mills for current I for which he pays mills.
 MT. Pevear did not explain his high rates to the smaller consumers of power. MT. Pevear did not refer to the fact that his company in New Orleans, in stead of putting in the substitute rate | of cents for light and low rates for power as recommended by the committee
 whose report he had advertised, put in 1 ma terially higher rates. He did not al- lude to the fact that the city of Bir- l mngham is already engaged in the mu- n.cipal lighting business and has proved Its right to enlargement of it's operations Nc, but he does notify the public author lties that he will continue to violate the law, which prohibits him and his corpo- ration from spending money to defeat a public measure which is to be voted on by the people-a public measure which does not deprive him or his company of any constitutional rights-a public meas Gre founded on the broad public policy that the great corporation of the country shall no longer, by the use of their wealth, dominate and control elections. All intelligent and honest minded peo- Die must recognize the value of such law.
 MT. Pevear notifies us. the citizens of Birmingham that his company will ie. nore this law. In other words, the pub lie be damned"

BETTER BUSINESS
TRAINING NEEDED

Ewing Pratt in his first annual report
as chief of the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce. There may be
an exception or two, but the claim is
made that most colleges and universe
ties are doing too little to train men
for this highly important work.
Exception is taken to the men with
only theoretical training who are often
put in charge of commerce classes in
schools and colleges. ut is to be re-
GREETED that the actual work of in
struction is not intrusted to men who
have some practical or personal
knowledge of the subject. A mere
secondhand acquaintance, mere
book knowledge of foreign trade is in
adequate. do not mean by this state
ment to advocate the employment Of
merely practical exporters as instruct
ors. But ! do advocate the employ
ment of men who have gathered their
facts and information by personal in
vestigation, and have thus acquired
first-hand knowledge and have prac-
tical contact with the things which
they propose to teach
This criticism of prevailing meth
dds of training men to carry on ou'
foreign trade follows discussion Of
the part the United States has come
to play in international trade. As a
result of the war the American busl-
ness community is rapidly being
forced into the worlds trade arena.
The United States has been compelled
to become the worlds producing and
commercial center. and, for time at
least, the worlds financial center. II
we are to make the most of the oppor-
tunity thrust upon us, we must solve
a number OF important problems. One
of them is this matter of properly
equipping young men for service in the
export field
Another Is the proper financing Of
foreign trade. In this direction we
are making much better progress than
In training exporters. For one thing
the war has forced an improvement
over previous methods. Most import
ant improvements, however, have been
made as result OF the federal re-
serve act OF 1918, which permits ma
tional banks to accept bills drawn
against actual shipments in foreign
commerce, and also provides for the
establishment Of branch banks in for
eign countries.
The report also urges the adoption
of a definite and continuing foreign
commercial policy. Such policy is
not so much dependent upon the
officers of the government as It is de-
pendent upon the American public
upon public opinion-and the Amerl-
can public is Just awaking to a reali-
zation of the situation, "The Business
community likewise is just awaking
to realization Of the Importance Of
such policy to the extension OF bust
ness. Questioning as to the value and
utility Of foreign trade is giving way
10 enlightened study and exploitation.
Those who only a short time ago were
apt to declare that domestic markets
were large enough are chafng under
restraints of temporary handicaps in
developing foreign markets. Alto

The people of Imperial Valley are at last awakening from their Rip Van Wrinkle siesta. But it has taken a long time to make them open their eyes. It was just one year ago that their great danger was pointed out in these columns. Since that time it has been pointed out to them time and time again that their canals were sitting up so rapidly that their crop losses would amount to millions of dollars for the lack of water Instead of taking the good, friendly advice given them through these columns they heaped ridicule on me through their various valley papers and en- larged their farm area And what's the result?
 They are now in a most deplorable condition. They have something like 100000 acres of fine land planted to all the varous crops that are known to thrive in that splendid section, but they have water enough at the present time to irrigate scant one-tenth of the cultivated area. And they con- tinue to get less and less water with each succeeding day, andthis awful situation will continue to become worse until their new diversion dam is made sufficiently strong to check the entire flow of the mighty Cobra

The criminal misrepresentation of Yuma weather by press reports emin- ating from Los Angeles has long been exasperating to those who know :he truth. The following dispatch this afternoon is fair sample. Read it:
 CHICAGO, July PA period of intense heat unequalled IT fifteen years covers the western plains states and is expected to continue till the end of July. Chicago starte1 Tcday's temperature with S4, the hottest lace in the country except Yuma. Lowest during the night, S4. Hottest night in history Not a leaf stirring III Cana dian Northwest, whence relief must come.
 Why this misrepresentation? Eighty-four in Chicago is equal or much worse than the top notch for Yuma ever could be, 1191a, which stands as the reco~i. for Yuma is cool compared to the present Chicago heat, ard a dozen towns of the Im- perial Valley, below sea level, west of Yuma are hotter by far, but Harrison Gray Otis and William Randolph Hearst never mention the fact. The Yuma temperature at 100 and hu- midity of 15, which is a fair average dow cn16 pressive and it is outrageously unfair to class Yuma with Chicago at so or Central Missouri at 10S, as was the case two weeks ago.
