Building activities in the Uniteo
States continued on approximately
the September level throughout the
month Of October. judging from sta
tistics reported from 1s1 cities, SAYS
the last number of The American

total valuation Of sse.172,sss for
building permits in October. For
September the permits in 2o3 citiee
totalled s1o1.S34.72s.
The average valuation of permits
per city in September was S501,6Io:

is S503,524. The average per city
for the first eight months OF 1890
was $696,920, or nearly 5000, 900 NOR.
than the averages for September
and October.
Eighty-five cities show an In.
crease in October over September.
Exceptional decreases are noted in
Boston, Akron. San Francisco, New
York. Cleveland, Chicago and Phil
adelphia.
This comparison may also be made
for 1s1 cities: october. 1918, number
of permits. 40.653; valuation, $751;
52S.977. October. 1920, number of
permits, 1874; valuation, $ss,17.,-
9s9.
When proper allowance is made
for the differences in construction
costs as between 1920 and 1915, for
instance. II Is obvious from the fol-
lowing table of city averages that
the volume OF business in October,
1920. was much less than 50 per
cent of the October record In 1915.

 In your issue March 13 you had edi- torfal under Urgent Need for In- creased Acreage" in which you said from all accounts farmers will cut their acreage. That labor was given as the cause, but labor will be as plentiful as 1918 and 1919, isoth of which years great harvest was made
 '.That we need large crops to bring down the high cost of living" and so we do, but with large crops at whose expense is the hagh cost Of living re- duced? Most assuredly the man and his family who toll from 4:30 a. m. till '. .30 or at night Works longer hours than any other class of people on earth and you know has been the poorest paid of any laborer. Not until the last two or three years could they have any of the comforts of life, and now when they are making a living with some few saving something for old age the whole hue and cry is for increased crops that the high cost of living may be reduced, so some non-producers ncav nroft at the expense of the farmer. During the world war all did their best to feed our soldiers and the oth- CTS who needed it, and did so patri- otically. But now that the war has closed and we who were not Killed can go to work each one must look out for himself, and should she farmers raise bumper crop of corn and run the price down to $1 and cotton to 10 and 20 cents.

Let those who prefer to live in town and do these "sernonette" days work take heir med icine like men and stop crying increase the crops, so the farmer who feeds the world cannot get enough for his crops to pay his debts. I have seen man, wife and two or three children work twelve months and sell his crop for less than $50, pay fertilizer bill of Sa5 and $50. and where is he? Let farm produce ever go down any more very much and the rest of farmers Will move to town, provided they can get bnises to live in. You can't get one in any of our towns at present Pres ent census figures say 10000 farmers have left farms for towns.

Another False Charge

Mir Kennedy is charged with not pro- tecting the people of Alabama in the Merid- ian rate case. General Order No. 2S, and the uniform mileage scale
 The commendatory letters from Gov. Kilby and the Mont gomery Traffic Bureau were written l6 months after the Meridian case was brought and after General Order No. 28 had been disposed of and while Mir. Kennedy was bat tling against the uniform mile- age scale which was beaten.
 Why now this fight on Mir. Kennedy?
 Because he dares to main tain the independence of the Alabama Public Service Com mission free from the domina- ting influence of the Governor, of the Federal government, or of selfish interests.
