"STATE SOCIALISM
Former Governor Emet ONeal Discusses Coal Commits sion Bill Now Before Legislature and Points Out < Its Revolutionary Character as Regards
 Alabama Industry

l If the commissions legislation had 1 proposed that the state purcnase and i operate all the coal mines in Alabama ! and such a bill had received the active 1 endorsement and support of the state | administra tion, if is very evident that a storm of controversy, indignation l and discussion would have promptly | followed Yet the proposed bill is just as revolutionary, just as unprecedented and just as contrary To all our theories and ideals of constitutional govern ment aS the former. In fact, it is in- finitelSworse and far more dangerous
 In the first bill the state would ac- quire by purchase all the coal mines
 in Alabama for operation for the pub
 lie welfare and yet in the latter, it
 seeks to accomplish the same purpose
 not by purchase, but confiscation.
 The proposed legislation marks the
 first effort made in Alabama to em
 bark our commonwealth upon q policy
 of state socialism. 1t proposes for the
 state to take over all the coal mines
 in Alabama, and to operate and con-
 trol them by state commissioners
 commission that will exercise powers as plenarY as the state would exercise if 1t had legally acquired ownership of these properties, The commission
 can fix the wages 6f labor the prices
 of coal, control its distribution and make rules and regulations as sum mary and binding as could be made by the most autocratic power.
 The proposed legislation brings us face to face with new and startling theory of government-a conception of its functions and powers subversive of our constitutional standards and ideals. This new theory of state social ism is that the will of the people is absolute and unlimited, and that the individual citizen possesses no inner , ent or inalienable rights of person or property which government should protect or respect. If it is property which in t4e judgment of the legisla- ture is affected with public interest, l then the state can without restraint l dispossess those who by management, | initiative, industry and sacrifice have

The sure but steady growth of lso- cialistic theories and propaganda in Alabama is very clearly shown by the ceived the legislation proposed by th6 coal commission appointed by Governor kilby. In Birmingham it. is true, if met the enthusiastic endorsement Of our evening journal but received no editorial comment from its morning contemporary. Yet the proposed legis- lation, if enacted, would vitally and permanently effect the destiny of this district, working a revolution in an
 industry which is the very foundation of our industrial wealth and progress

For Good of the
 Community

STRANGE how long 1t takes people, o to whom great things have been given, to realize and act on the small part which is exacted of them in return.
 In April, 1915, the government closed the gates of Lock 17-Lake Bankhead was formed, the Warrior was made navi- gable from the heart of the coal fields in Walker and Jefferson counties to the gulf; the steel works, pipe shops and fab- treating plants of the industrial south were placed on tidewater; the gate way to doing business with the nations of the earth swung wide open.
 More than five years have gone. Out side of less than quarter of a million dol lars expended by this district in placing the beginnings of real terminals at Port of Birmingham, small investment at Cor dova by private corporation and one of $500 at Tuscaloosa, nothing has been done to realize on the S15, 100000 which the government placed in the lap of Ala bamians
 Will Alabama awaken to the opportun- ty or pass 1t by to an extremely difficult and belated resurrection? United States Senator Underwood has sounded note of warning. Speaking to the citizens of Mobile he told them that unless imme- dlate and definite action is taken with re- gard to furnishing free site, Mobile may lose the government coal terminal"
 Senator Underwood knows what he is taking about. The government is at it's ropes end. It does not propose further helping those who will not help them- selves. It stands by with S400,O 900 to build coal terminal at Mobile if Mobile furn- ishes the site. Delay in the latter per- formance passes the understanding. Months and months have elapsed since the government made this proffer Mo- bile has slept and seems still to sleep.
 Mobile has shown aggressiveness in the campaign to secure state aid for port de- velopment. A trifle of that same spirit directed to securing the free site for the coal terminal would not seem out of keep ing with that spirit and would build up pOTC dlQ sentiment.
 Houston and Los Angeles. were not dragged to tidewater. They went out to it with their own money supplemented by federal aid. Had they depended alto gether on federal aid they would not have accomplished the-feats that made them rich and have challenged the attention and admiration of the entire country
 It is difficult to get away from federal aid so long and so generously extended to Alabama waterways. The toddler does not find the use of his legs at first trial. Alabama's waterway enthusiasm is too fresh from paternalistic nourishment to realize that that source is drying up and will be withheld from the healthy young ster now fully able to eat solid food and to lift it to his mouth
 But it must be done. The port of Bir- mingham is the business of Jefferson county. The port of Mobile is the busi- of %bn ,+o%o 1o,,@4 |, L1-
