MORE POWER TO SERVE NINE
MILLION PEOPLE

In securing aNtemporary lease of the steam
power plant at Sheffield, the Alabama Power
company finds itself in a position to supply
utilities, mills and mines in Alabama, Georgia
and the Carolinas with 10000 more horse
power than would be available to\more than
100000 people in these states if the plant
built by the government for public service were
kept idle.
In allowing the Alabama Power company to
make use of this plant, Secretary Weeks has
specifically provided that the temporary lease
shall not interfere with final disposal of the
Muscle Shoals properties.
An instrument of service to industry in the
southern states will be operated instead of
showing deficit for its upkeep. The federal
government will receive $4,000 per month and
two cents kilowatt for the power. Coal will
be mined to operate the plant that would other
wise not be dug Men will be employed, both at
the power house and at the mines, who other
wise would not be employed and factories viii

CONTRIBUTE TO THE RED CROSS
AND HELP HUMANITY

The fifth annual Red Cross roll call began
yesterday and will continue for one week. At
this late day it should not be necessary to point
out the great work for humanity the Red Cross
is doing in the world. Although the war is
over, and has been over for several years, dis
ease, hunger and disasters must be met with
generous assistance and the terrible after eff
fects of the war are still being felt
In addition to coping with emergencies of
this character, the Red Cross carries on a far
reaching and comprehensive welfare work. 1t
is serving mankind day and night. Wherever
there is suffering, wherever first aid is needed
the Red Cross is on duty. Its record is one of
splendid self-sacrifice and practical philan-
thropy. It's humanitarianism embraces the
earth, all races. and all creeds.
A donation to the Red Cross is an obliga-
ton no one who has any regard for his fellow
man can afford to refuse. Birmingham this
week must do her duty and respond to the Red
Cross appeal generously, as in the past.

c. E. Nixon, land it would have been a credit
to much larger city. The automobiles were
beautifully decorated and there were number
of handsome floats in the parade. Probably the
most interesting feature of the days celebra-
ton was the street dance that evening which
was the first of the kind ever held in the Mar
vel City. 1t truly a carnival affair and
confetti and serpentines were much in evidence.
The band was placed on truck in the center
of the street and the dancers danced around
the music. Large crowds of spectators crowded
both sides of the streets to watch those par.
ticipating. The affair, taken as a whole, was
a grand success"

LETTERS TO EDITOR
REPUBLIcANs DODGE BONUS
, the Editor Of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
The republicans in Congress are now lodging
the soldiers bonus bill for the third time. The
first time they lodged it was on the flimsy
excuse of accepting the command of the Pres
ident in obeying his orders and referring it
back to the committee. The second time they
7 lodged it was on July 10, when the chairman of
the committee arose in sympathetic pity, faith
fully promising the soldiers that the bill would
receive prompt attention in the committee.
The extra session Of Congress is now about
to close, due to limitation of time, and not a
single breath of sympathy have noted COM
ing from the iceberg" regions where the re-
publican members of the finance committee in
habit.
When we go at the bottom of the situation
and find where the real opposition exists and
what possessed the President to go before Con-
gress and ask that the soldiers bonus be post
poned we find that the Secretary of The
Treasury was ''the man behind the gum"
If the. Secretary of the Treasury and the
President would show reasons and make good
their pretense that the money could not be
raised they would have the earnest support of
every man and every woman who has the well
fare of his country at heart, but on the other
hand, what happened?
After the bonus bill had been sdetracked, the
Secretary of the Treasury discloses his finan-
cial programme, and we Immediately discovered
that he proposes to take the burden off those
best able to pay--the rich, the powerful and
the profiteer-so that is the reason there would
not be ample money for the soldiers bonus.
We learned that it was proposed to take $751;
100000 off the corporate stock taxes; that 1t
was proposed to take $9O,000,O00 off the taxes
of those who make incomes in excess of $685.
100000 year; that it was proposed to take
$3.50 ,000, 900 off the taxes of the profiteers in
the way of profits made in excess of 10 per
cent net. The scheme does not end here. So anx-
ious was the Secretary of the Treasury to have
"great wealth. relieved of its burdens, that he
had the audacity to propose to compel the COM
mon people of the land to sacrifice still further
in the way of taxes. Among other things pro-
posed was that we should raise the postage
upon letters from two cents to three cents, thus
adding SO per cent to letter carriage, which af-
fects the whole people, that this Melons pence
be paid by every citizen for the benefit of the
utra-rich that they be relieved of their taxation.
With the light and facts before us, we see
that the republicans have and are continuing
to retire and slaughter the soldiers bonus bill,
all in the interest of big money, of the profiteers
and of the great corporations
The men who offered themselves in sacri-
flee for their country are now being Stretched
upon the altar of "great wealth. and trying
to be sacrificed for their benefit by the repub-
lican party. WILLIAM L. WHITE.

ROADS AND PORTS
From The Savannah News.

From The Savannah News
Alabama has taken the lead of Georgia IN
two particulars. The Alabama legislature has
submitted to the people two proposed consti-
tutional amendments, one for great highway
bond issue, and one for bond issue for port
improvement. Both are in line with the best
progress of the states of the south that border
on deep water. 1t is imperative that these
states have good roads, fine roads, all-the-year
round highways that connect with local roads
to make all parts of the state easily available
to all other parts of it. And it is imperative
in the intricate interdependence of farm, fac
tory and sea gateway that they should have
great, well-developed ports capable OF handling
the ever-greater growth of commerce that the
south must plan for. The Alabama port bond
idea is for an issue of $10,000,000 in bonds, to
be met, principal and interest, out of profits
from wharves and terminals. This is the plan
in Louisiana and other states that have given
state backing to port development. The state
will be out nothing; there will be no additional
tax levy to care for the improvement. The port
Improvement will pay for itself. All that is
desired is for the state to underwrite the plan.
And then the state and its people receive
all the profit that flows from cheaper and
quicker handling of ocean freights inbound and
outbound, and from the mere presence Of facil-
tiles for such handling. The road bond issue
will be taken care of just it is planned to
for road bond issue in Georgia. The high
ways, too, will pay, for themselves, because
there is not a motorst anywhere who fails to
see the saving, in dollars and cents, to him
self, in the difference between mud holes alter
mating with sand beds, and good, hard-surfaced
winter-and-summer highways. Georgia does
not want Alabama or any other southern state
to get ahead of her, and certainly is this true
in such prime matters as highway and port
development. Let Georgians be thinking about
these things so that the legislature next summer
will be ready to do what is best for the people
in these two particulars.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
AND ELSEWHERE
WOULD POSTPONE PARADE

Speaking of the Armistice Day parade, 1
have good joke on the captain of one of the
national guard companies" said Arthur Spen-
Ger. at seems that Louis Gagolinos, a Greek
painter, is member Of one of the companies,
and he telephoned to his captain, saying: Me
and my brother, Gus, we can no parade to-
morrow. Me and my brother we work for Nick,
and you know my brother he been sick and l
gotta stay and paint the sign To this the
captain told the guardsman to tell Nick to let
him off at noon, he was depending on him
to be in the parade. The soldier replied, You
know Cappa, tell Nick what you say, but ne
say nothing doing. If you put the parade off
until Saturday me and my brother we botha be
there The captain replied he was sorry this
could not be done, but the day was national
holiday and the parade could not be delayed
for anyone"
