Growers Go Broke Compa
MES Prosper

How growers of bright leaf
tobacco are making fortunes for
Others while, unorganized, they
themselves struggle with power
ty is brought out by DR.. J. Y.
Joyner, President of the N. G.
Tobacco Growers Association, in
commenting on published reports
showing the earnings of manu-
facturers and the high levels at
which stocks of the large compa-
MES are being sold.
Summarizing statements from
Tobacco and the wall Street
Journal, DR.. Joyner says these
facts show:
|. That the tobacco manufact-
uring companies have been the
t.'most stable earners in the last
ten years., are still making mil
lions out of tobacco, declaring
enormous annual dividends, rs
10 per cent, their stocks leading
the market, selling far above par,
continuing TO creep upward"
and 1T is said the end is not
yet" !
2. That low priced tobacco
has averaged inventories down
and at the same time companies
have gone through eighteen
months of good business without
any reduction of prices for finish
ed product.
3. That cigarette manufactu-
rers have been accommodating
cash rapidly and with decline in
leaf, period of large working cap
ital requirements has passed. "
4. That leaf is principal item
in production costs, representing
approximately 70 per cent (sev-
enty per cent? of total, and de-
crease in cost of leaf has result
ed in corresponding increase in
profits.
In striking and tragic contrast
with the amazing prosperity and
profit of these largest buyers
and manufacturers of bright TO-
bacco, as revealed in this authen-
tic report, is the condition of the
growers of this bright tobacco
who produced it when costs of
production were at the peak of
high prices, sold it in three or
four months on glutted markets
under financial distress and at
constantly declining prices
scarcely averaging half the cost
of production, leaving them dis
heartened and many of them
bankrupt. .
This bright tobacco, sold by
the grower at half the cost of
production and one-third the
price of the previous year, con-
stitutes seventy per cent of the
total production cost OF the man.
ufactured tobacco that the man.
ufacturers sold without any re-
duction Of prices of the finished
product. Out of every dollar
paid by the consumer for the
manufactured product the grow
err received the paltry pittance of
eight or ten cents.
IF these facts" concludes DR..
Joyner, do not convince the
growers of bright tobacco in the
Carolinas and Virginia of the
necessity and wisdom of organic
ing for marketing their products
more intelligently, for protecting
their prices and securing a more
equitable share of the value of
what they produce with the
sweat of their brows and the toll
of their hands, neither would
they be convinced though one
rose from the dead"

Fine Progress Still Being Made, in Masonic Temple Bond
 Campaign

The central committee of the Ma sonic temple bond campaign has been invited to Bessemer by the Shrine cino of the city tonight at which time re- ports will be made on the progress or the work there.
 .'Subscrpt ons are still coming in ih fine shape said Vice Chairman w. A. Currie, last night some of the com mittees are fairly flooding us with SUD scriptions to the half million bond issue and everyone is cheered by the prospect of the success winch seems to be assured.
 Joe Loveman struck a proper key at the dinner the other evening when he called attention to the numerous war drives that had been conducted tA Birmingham and to the conspicuous part that had been taken in them by Masons. He said that now the same men were seizing an opportunity to do fine piece of work for themselves and at the same time something that would be highly creditable to thcir city and state.
 The Masonic temple including the auditoriums will be acquisitions or which Birmingham and north Alabama can be very proud.

An exhibit of the original paintings of Gerrit A. Beneker, noted artist on in- dustrial subjects will be given in the Star Piano company building for period of exhibition, beginning tonight and lasting until February 4.
 The exhibition is under the auspices of the Birm mingham branch of the Ala bama Art league which has had other exhibitions in the city. While beginning with night exhibition tonight. the ex- hibit will only be open during the re- mainder of the showing for daily exhibi- tions from noon until 6 o'clock in the evening. Saturday the hours will be from 10 in the morning until the same hour in the evening"
 The exhibit will consist of 16 powerful pictures made on Gerrit's favorite art topic-industry. Some show the pro- cesses in steel mills and there are por- traits of workers in the mills where the artist serves as official artist on the company magazine, the Hydraulic Press by workers in the company of the same name Also there are some few views of landscapes and marine paintings made al ound Provincetown.

hand as he had promised. We made out good case, and the engineers seemed really interested.
 While we were arguing, McAdoc passed by the door,.a and Barrett saw nim He called him in, and McAdoo said:
 '"These Birmingham men have a good proposition. If 1t looks all right to you, do what they want, and send some engineers down there to look it over It may help us.
 Every body is familiar with what fol- lowed. First, two government engineers, Mason -and Bontecou, came down and made favorable report We stayed with them from the time they reached the depot until their train departed. Later, Mr. Tomlinson came down and also made favorable report. Both re- ports received the personal attention of Secretary McAdoo and the work was finally authorized. AS I say, it is to Ed Barrett that big part of the credit be- longs.
 '.Another notable event of Mr. Crow der's term of office was the establish ment of the manufacturers industrial zoning system for the states of Florida Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee with headuuarters in Birmingham. A survey was made of all manufacturlna plants and their ability to supply war l time government requirements in these | four states. T. H. Aldrich conducted the bureau, and the government kept di-
 rectly in toncn with where to place con- tracts in this territory for army supplies l and munitions,
 MT. Crowder was also instrumental III | organizing the first Alabama stare-wid' l chamber Of commerce. He headed th' | trade excursion which left Birmingham | in seven Pullmans. and visited the cities

 That it will be perfectly legal for husbands to pny their wives poll taxes is the opinion given out by Walter Br0wer, assistant city attorney, at the request of Charles L.. Harold, secretary manager of the Civic Association.
 DESIGN OF LAW 1 The law is designed to prevent the corruption of votes and does not take 1 into consideration any possibility that | a husband might want to corrupt his wife's vote. In fact, the law was made | before wives came into their own as citizens or citizenesses and does not cover the marriage relation at all with reg ard to the paying of the family poll ] tax, according to MT. Brewer. That husbands may go so far in pay 1 ing the family bills as to include the l poll tax is also the opinion of Charles
 A. Calhoun, another lawyer, who was
 consulted by MT. Harold.
