Poetry Markets

Frederick E. Pierce in the Yale Review.
 About 90 years ago an eminent publisher told John Clare that the popular demand for verse ran in waves, and history since his day has not belied his assertion From 1900 to 1920 in England, poetry sold better than prose; from 1925 to 1S40, it was drug on the market; after 1S40, another wave of enthusiasm rolled up, bearing Tennyson and several popular minors ad astra ct ad aurum. The first decade Of the twentieth century was everywhere one of general indifference towards poetry. With a few brave exceptions, college faculties believed that we lived in an Alexandrian age that it was better to encourage accurate texts of the dead than cratic enthusasms of the living. Lead ing magazines wanted limited number of pretty rhymed trifles for 'fillers'; and the rapt visions of young America round ed out an incomplete page like the dust of Alexander stopping a bung-hole. Books of verse by our most prominent men Of letters were published at their own ex- pense; and the bread thus cast upon the waters did not always come back even after many days. Connoisseurs and blue stockings dismissed their contemporaries with one contemptuous phrase, to talk Of Browning, Keats and the Elizabethans. The man in the street seemed hardly aware that there was thing called poetry: and the rich undergraduate saw in it only another item for his seni-an-

AMERICANS AFTER
 MEXICAN TRADE
Business Organizations Have Already
 Taken Steps To Obtain Their Fair Share
By Associated Press

Mexico City. June 4.-American busi- ness organizations are taking steps to obtain a share of Mexican import and export trade. Competition for this busi- ness is keen because with the signing of the armistice British, French, Ja- panese, spanish Scandinavian and Ger man representatives became active.
 The American Chamber of Commerce, representing numerous large concerns, has recently completed reorganization and w. F. Saunders, formerly secretary of the Young Mems Buisiness league of St. Louis, Mo. has come to Mexico City to act as secretary. New quarters have been secured and an energetic cam paign for more business has been mapped out
 The Chicago Chamber of Comm cree has opened branch office here and, according to newspaper accounts, the commercial clubs of Fl Paso, Dallas, San Antonio and Houston, Tex, con- template having representatives in this city.
 Los Angeles. San Diego Sacramento and other California cities for some time have had trade agents busy on to directing business in their direc- ton.
 Ambitious programmes of trade ex- pansion have also been planned by fed eral officials here. their attitude be- ing reflected in the reported efforts be- ing made to improve transportation conditions inland from the various ports of entry.

AMERICANS BUSY ON
 SERBIAN BRIDGES
Engineers From This Coun- try Expected to Put Rail-
 roads Speedily in Order
ey Associated Press


 Saloniki, May l0.-(By Mail)-With American railway material arriving and American army engineers in the Bal kans there is now a prospect that rail- way conditions in the near east may soon be bettered. Heretofore the work of rebuilding the thousands of dyna- nited bridges and of repairing the hundreds of miles of twisted, uptorn track in Serbia has progressed slowly
 Serbian railroad engineers have been handicapped by lack of labor and ma teriai At present it is a. matter of from 10 to Is days to cross Serbia from Saloniki to Belgrade. If one link of the motor truck service breaks down because of washed out roads or floods carrying away bridges the whole work of the American Red Cross, the Ameri- can food famine commission and the Serbian relief fund workers is held up and a through journey to Belgrade or Saloniki across country may require from 15 days to a month.
 American importers, however, should not figure on transporting freight over land through Serbia at this time. Rail- roads probably will not be regularly running until early in 1920 Belgrade is best reached via Trieste and Plume rather than from Saloniki.
 American shippers will find the har- bors and docks at Piraeus (Athens), in Greece, at Saloniki and Constantinople crowded with freight. Lrghterage is difficult to obtain. Conditions are bet ter at Constantinople than at Piraeus and Saloniki At both these latter ports the traffic snarl is almost in hope Jess state.
 At Piraeus thousands of tons of Newfoundland codhst which were rot ting on the docks have been thrown into the ocean to make room for more urgent freight. With the Greek army still in the field there is great snort age of labor throughout Greece.

San Juan, making it the oldest city un- der the American flag, and a ascommit- tee is at work arranging for a celebra- tion of that event and the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
 Cuba, San Domingo and St. Thomas have been invited to send representa- tives to take part in the celebration.
 That July Fourth, 1519, is the exact date of the foundation of the city of San Juan is the opinion expressed by Cayetano Colly Toste, historian, who has traced the history of the island since the first landing of the Spaniards in 1909.
 According to pr. Toste the first Span iard to set foot in the island of "Bor- inquen" was Juan Ponce de Leon, who landed on the August 12.

Text of Governors Message
 to the Alabama Legislature
fCcntinued from Page Fourteen.) by the imposition of such taxes. There is no such danger.

CapitaI is tinid but I am not at al afraid of a business closing it's doors and fleeing to another state rather than contribute s90 per year out o1 a profit account of S10,00 per year Neither am I alarmed at the danger o1 individuals breaking up their homes and leaving the state to avoid the pay ment of SS per year out of incomes of s3Oo0 per year I am sorry the op" nosition started with the bankers, for being a banker myself I have felt q pride in the broad minded, liberal and patriotic spirit of the bank man, who can generally be depended upon to give sound advice in matters of the Kind.
 It Is gratifying to learn that the action of the association, which was taken when only about 70 members were present, represents but small minority of the bank CTS of the state. As the profits go up the tax goes up, as in the case of the tax on incomes, which is in accordance with the modern recog- nized principle upon which proper taxation is based.
 MAY EXPECT OPPOSITION
 You may expect strong opposi- tfon to the suggested small tax on coal from operators, who since the war in Europe began have more than doubled the price of their output. The mining companies, coal and iron, should pay their full and just share of the taxes. These vast mines of wealth were lavished upon the state by bOunfiful nature. They have been bought up by private interests who operate them for private gain, to which I offer not the slightest ob- jection, as a matter of course. and are being gradually but surely ex- hausted and the land left almost worthless. These lands should he regarded md treated differently
 from other lands which will yield revenues through the ages to
 come. Millions of tons of coal and
 iron ore in some form or other are annually shipped from the state,
 which process is slowly but surely
 depicting the natural wealth of the
 state. This property should be
 taxed while it is here.
 If these new sources of revenue arc not utilized. the only alternative I car see is the raising of the percentage o. assessment from 60 to 100 per cent or the dollar. That would increase th' present inequalities.
 For instance, a piece of property worth 5000 now assessed at $500
 would be raised to $1OOO. A similar
 piece of property now assessed at $500 would be raised to $500. After
 these horizontal raises the dis
 crepancy would be increased from $500 to $50O-the very reverse of
 equalization.
 Furthermore, the holder of $lo0 bond would go scot free of taxes whil the owner of the 5000 worth of prop erty lawfully assessed would have hi taxes increased 66 2-3 per cent. Hav the bankers overlooked this possibl raise of 662-3 per cent in their ia, bills in their zeal to protect the non tax paying bondholder?
 The appropriation bills submitted b. the budget commission are based O. an estimate of revenues to be derive from the revenue bill as drawn an presented by the recess committed The two bodies worked jointly owe the problems of revenue and appro priations. They considered with infin

nual tutoring bill. With the second de- cade of the century came a reactionary wave of enthusiasm for verse. Moves be- came popular around 1910; Masefield blazed up suddenly on the literary horizon in 1911; Gibson, Frost and Masters in 1914 and 1915; and others in their wake. How far the poets have created their public. how far the public has encoura ged and stimulated the poet, no one can say pre- cisely In all such periods there has been vast amount of reciprocal influence be- tween readers and writers.
