WHAT MIR. sCHwAB WILL DO


 There are intimations that Mir. Schwah is to find that the enlarged plants which were necessary while his corporation was manufacturing certain commodities for the government need not be discarded but instead will be fully utilized in the manufacture of certain commodities for which there is great demand not only in the Unteds States but elsewhere.
 One of the greatest of the American corporations engaged in the manufacture of tools and machinery was occupied to the capacity of it's plants in manufactur- ing commodities in which the government stood in need after we entered into the war.
 Now, however, that peace has come and the government no longer has need of the war commodities that were manufactured by this corporation it has been discov- cred that the plants can be and will be operated to their full capacity in manu- featuring certain articles for which a great demand has already arisen So it is everywhere. The presumption Is that there is no industrial plant in the United States. however, much it may have been enlarged to meet the demands of the government, which will fail to re- ceive orders sufficient to keep the entire plants in full operation.
 It was forgotten during the war days that when the people were subscribing billions to the Liberty and Victory Loans and were also giving hundreds of millions to the Red cross and to other benefactions they were compelled to abstain from pur- chasing articles, for instance such as the

CUMMINGS FINDS WEST
 STRONG FOR LEAGUE

WaShlngton,s July -tSpeclal )- Homer S.. Cummings, chairman of the democratic national committee in re- porting to the publicity bureau of the committee in Washington, declares the far west, like the central west and east sections he had previously visited is very strong in it's support of the league of nations.
 As Mir Cummings regards the south s allegiance as definite and unmistakable, it is his verdict that the people of the United States are practically solid for the league. In commenting on the let ter of MT. Cummings the Washington bureau publishes the following:
 aetc PM MEob- New ydayresecrgownsa =
 The democratic chairman is fresh from visits to California Oregon, Wash ington, Idaho and Montana, and he as- serted that he found public thought there in regard to the league of nations the same as in other parts of the coun- try. The people want the peace treaty as laid before the Senate by President Wilson approved without unnecessary delay, and are entirely out of sympathy with those who would block early fav- orable action, he said.
 With few exceptions, MT. Cummings said. the great newspapers of the west, like those of middle states and the east, are strongly advoca ting the league of nations He referred particularly to such influential republican papers as the Los Angeles Times, the Portland Oregonian, and the Seattle Post-Intel- ligencer, all of which are daily urging the ratification of the treaty and the league covenant.
 Western republican senators who are following the leadership of Senators Lodge and Knox in opposing the league of nations have sadly misinterpreted the feeling of their constituents MT. Cum mings said. He referred especially to Sena tors Johnson of California. Poin- devxter of Washington and Borah of dexter, of Washington. and Borah of of these misguided statesmen, Mir. Cum mings declared. openly differ with them while no one who has been over the ground can doubt that the great mass of the people of their states disapprove their course.
 MT. Cummings will go to Wyoming and Nebraska and will wind up his present tour in Iowa. He plans to re- turn to the east shortly before August 1st He is accompanied on his trir through this section by J. Bruce Krem CT of Montana, vice chairman of the demo-

 BILL DRAWN UP
 The appropriation bill has been drawn and is only awaiting an agreement on the revenue bill, It is as certain as anything to be done in the future can be that the revenue bill will not go on the statute books in it's present form. It is almost equally as certain that the revenues recommended in the budget committees report will not be raised un- der the bill that is finally adopted. Some thing approaching the enormous sum of $10, ,479 715.59 may be raised, but if so number of adjustments and changes, of shifting of the burden from one source other subjects in the taxable list not mentioned in the present bill, will be written into the revenue law,
 From sources close to the governor it is learned that change in the coal and iron ore tonnage schedule may be agreed upon by the administration. The person from whom this information was ob tained denies any right or authority or permission to speak for Governor Kilby, but he is in position to know the views of Governor Kilby on this and other matters.
 This information is to the effect that a compromise will be offered the coal and iron operators whereby "a tax of probably two cents ton on coal and one or one and a half cents on iron ore will be substituted for the proposed f,x-a a1d t,ran rat ta fixed under the bill as it now is. Wheth- CT the coal and iron operators will &C., cept this offer is not known here, but in view of the almost $3e0o,000 of float ing debt, and the largely increased de- mands upon the state treasury for edu- cational welfare, administrative and oth- CT purposes, it is practically certain that some kind of tax will be levied upon the mineral interests in addition to the ad valorem and franchise taxes.
 The ways, means and appropriations committee will resume the hearings on the revenue bill just as soon as a ma jority of the committee arrive in the city. Chairman Dunnaway, before leav- ing for his home in Selma Friday, tried to secure promises from the members of the committee to come to Montgomery in time to hold a session Monday after noon. One or two of ther1 are here to-
 day and MT. Dunnaway hopes to be able to take the bill before the committee of the whole of the house before the end of the coming week.
 It is going to take hard work and long hours for the legislature to dispose i of the really important bills now pend- ing in the twenty-three remaining days. It is not believed the revenue bill can be passed under two or three weeks, possibly month, then comes the appro- priation bill. the state highway bill, the state health bill, the judiciary, and the convict measure. all of which will meet With more or less opposition.
 The judiciary bill is of peculiar inter

that it reduces the number of circuit judges from ten to eight In making this recommendation, it&is understood
 the recess judiciary@ y@eommittee had in mind the veto aof judiciary bills by for mer governors. It was not deemed ad-
 visable by the committee to increase the
 number of circuit judges and as there
 are two three districts in which the
 dockets are crowded with no hope of
 clearing them up without essening the
 work of the judges, the committee de-
 cided to take two away from Jefferson
 and allot them to other districts. So
 Jefferson must suffer in order that re-
 lief may be afforded certain other dis
 tricts.

 from that county came to Montgomery they saw the situation and abandoned
 that part of their programme. Mobile now has three circuit judges Calhoun wants to be made into circuit to her self, with one judge, and it is under stood two or three other counties made similar demands.
 The result was that with all these de- mands and the probability of veto if a bill~ increasing the number of districts the committee concluded that the easiest way out was to make a few transfers of counties from one district to another,

Washington, July 20.-(Special)- The league for the preservation of Am erican independence, fighting the pro- posed league of nations is making great capital of the success scored by Sen ator Reed in the "solidly democratic and Wilson loving south"
 Senator Reed is one of the most at tractive speakers in the Senate, and the best debater, it is regarded as true, in Congress. His ridicule and sarcasm his picturesque denunciations always draw great crowds to the galleries even though the great crowds might not admit his logic or agree with his conclusions.
 These facts. more or less well known, may have drawn the immense audiences which greeted the Missourian in Bir mingham and Enthusiastically con- tributed to the swelling of the crowds. He evidently appealed to those convinc- ed by Senator sherman that the pope of Rome will control the league, and those convinced by his own argument that the colored races will predominate. In addition, he appealed to the republicans. to those few democrats who do not love the President. and to many, it is re- garded as probable, who expected a night of excitement.
 The league for the preservation Of Am erican independence, nevertheless, evidently does not take into considera- ton any of the foregoing probabilities. It attributes to southern opposition to the league, the triumphs scored by Reed -triumphs In the form of immense au- diences which gave him repeated de- monstrations The anti ganization states that it is evident that the south is waking up, preparing to act on the merit of questions involved rather than blindly pursuing it's old policy of voting the democratic ticket" whatever that ticket might be-
 The attitude of the south will be re- flected in the vote of its senators, and when the senators vote, tke Sague for the preservation of American independ- ence, will suffer a rude awakening.

War Plants Are Used
 For Other Purposes
By HOLLAND

New York, July 20-(Special. )-When the government at Washington was mak- ing use of every available plant and fur nishing machinery with which to operate the plants and calling constantly upon the managers of the industries to increase their output. one of the largest of the American plants which produced muni-
 uons and various implements of war found it necessary greatly to enlarge it's capacity. They were making for the gov ernment various war commodities the az gregate of which was enormous Many times the question was asked: What has this great manufacturing industry to do with the new plants which it was found necessary to erect in order to meet the contracts of the government? Some thought that the new plants would be abandoned possibly torn down.
 In fact one of the questions which con- cerned men of industry while the war was in progress referred to the utiliza- | tion of the additional or enlarged plants which 1t was necessary to build in order
 to meet the requirements of the govern | ment Charles NJ Schwab at one time
 was reported to have said that it might l become necessary for the corporation
 which is identified by his name to aban--
 don the additional plants which it was
 compelled to build when this company | was almost exclusively occupied with war work.
 | The apprehension that the cost of these additional plants might be charged of ! to profit and loss has now passed away. I 1t is evident that American industry is to be so speeded up for the next four or five years that, instead of dscarding the plants, they must be again enlarged. The corporation referred to a few lines | above, which has been recognized as one of the largest of the intuition making plants operated for the government until
 the close of the war, has already found good use for it's enlarged plants. Today there was received information in New l York that this great corporation, whose plant covers some acres is about to under take the manufacture upon very large scale of pocket knives. The manager are wise men. They are in intimate touct with others who know what the Amerf can market is now demanding. One o1 the things for which there is loud cal both here and in South America is Amer. ican pocket knives. Therefore these great plants will in the course of few weeks be turning out pocket, knives in place o1
 munitions of war. And will be as fully occupied as they were in war days.
