ENSLEY MAN FEARS. SUBSIDY FOR CARS.
Necessity That Must Be Guarded and Financed
 by Somebody

Equity and practicality should govern the city passenger transpor- tation question is the belief of Ed ward Bennett of Ensley. Yesterday he said:
 The question is one of practical ity and equity. My family pays for street car service approximately $500 annually. But write as a citi- zen amongst citizens:
 Can Birmingham do without this service? No. Is the service paying the operators? No. Can we do with out the 5itney? If we cannot, we must pay for two systems instead of one. Systems that overlap, and by so much waste. Overlap at whose call? Plainly not, for the cnoven- fence of the suburbs.
 Must subsidixe
 Who Is to subsidize the luxury of the special service, for it must be subsidized? Either the Birming- ham Railway. Light & Power Go. must do it through diversion from its fares to the jitney or addition to those fares from people. The jitneys do not propose to serve nor can be made to. Clearly that is not equita- ble
 '-The Birmingham Railway, Light & Power Co. is asked to underbid the jitney. But the Birmingham Rail way, Light & Power Go. can neither pay it's way nor borrow on its pres ent income based on cents. How then is it in position to try an ex pertinent on cents? It is not question of stirring and feeling" but of practicality.
 Tt Is suggested that the com pany spend more money in perfect ing equipment. With whose money? Not a man who has written today would lend them a dollar.
 Live competition with the jit- neys.' Again. on whose money? It cannot reduce it's operating expenses and cannot pay it's TOO odd opera tives less if it would and should not if it could. I, for one, believe the company during the year last past has been doing the best it knew how. and shoud be protected in its investments made and accepted on honor. I believe it has done it's best to discharge it's obligations under severe handicap. 'Reprisals' will get us nowhere. Equity will pay.
 Eight Cents Wrong
 T hazard it doubtful if an Scent fare will solve the problem. It is playing into the hands of the jitney. But the city is doing that. And the tenor of the interviews In today's paper is, You Birmingham Railway, Light & Power Co, it's up to you to see that we have cheap jitney ser vice.
 q also believe it extremely doubt full if a scent fare would bowl out the irresponsible jitney. Those who covet speed and convenience for themselves as the jitney sponsors do will be ready to pay the difference They can save it.
 "Is our passenger service to de- generate into free fight with the stakes in the devils hands? Clearly it is for our commissioners to say. Public servants are always on trial.
 We have been told that if the jtneys are severely taxed in the proportion in which the Birming- ham Railway, Light 6 Power Co. is, privileges and due protection of the people, they cannot operate Surely the most cogent reason why they should not.''

Pefri6cado's Note Book


 men around Adamana and vicinity call a poor grass year, l am receiving a great many inquiries regarding the cattle situation around Brose. In fact these inquiries have reached chproportions that 1 find it impossible to answer each one personally and in as much as the NEWS" is either read or borrowed by everybody, 1 am attempting to use its columns to truth fully answer these friends and stockmen. As 1 view the stock situation here I do not see how it could be inn proved on much, if any. To the north of Brose lays a wide expanse of beautiful sacatone grass waist high to a tall cow, and it is all fenc- ed with hog wire in a circu- lar shape and just inside this fence is a movable walk or platform which is kept in motion by electricity from Pittsburg. On this platform is where the cowboys set all dressed in uniform on a kind of wooden horse, like those seen on the Merry go-round in Holbrook. Underneath this platform there IS placed at intervals of about a quar- ter of a mile raised places in the track which produces an effect similar to a bronk at 3 Winslow carnival. This is done to keep the cowboys a. wake. And 1 just wish you could see the magnificent white faced Stuff that is contentedly grazing along those level stretches. There is a river of fresh water that runs into the ocean just west of this pasture, and when the tide raises it backs this fresh water up into the pas ture for the cattle to drink. This happens twice a day (except Sundays.) The own CTS have erected some very nice convenience for the comfort of the cattle. There is a nice cowternity home for the COWS, and a splendidly equipped cafeteria for the calves. And then the sani- tation is almost perfect. An overhead electrically driven conveyor carries all the re- fuse faraway to the south and deposits it in a large cave over in the Sierra Mad re Mountains. The cattle are administered a large dose of Anti-fat three times a week other wise they would get so fat that their legs would change from red to black then of course they would have the black leg. The cowboys live almost en- tirely on seedless raisins, English Walnuts and prune- juice. We understand the cows are not eating much grass this time of the year. They just walk around and nip the buds out of the Daf- fodills. The names of the cowmen here are so different from those in and around Adamana; they seem to be more appropriate to th e business. For instance, MT. c. w. Metcalf is in charge of the cafeteria, pr. Robert R. 'Cowper, V. M. D. directs the destinies of the Cowter- nity home, while MT. Berlin s. Turnbull is in charge of the Fertilizer Department, while we find such names as Donohue;' Hennessey, Flynn and Clossey on the Police force in Pittsburg. Andnow finally cow-men do not try to drive your stuff through as we are just 927 miles from ''BOBS' store.

At hovfuI whole glitter
place

THE two magic shovels that the
Twins found in the Enchanted
Cupboard were wonderful things.
They were like the spoon that the
witch gave the poor maiden to dip
out the sea, for at every shovelful
whole barrow-load of golden glitter
came out of its hiding place in the
earth and jumped into a great sack
that PIN PIN had ready.
Soon the sack was filled and PIN
PIN called thousand of his Brown
les to tie it up and carry it away to
his storehouse until it was needed.
When they had dug up enough
golden glitter for all the stars and
bugles on the Christmas trees, the
Twins started on the silver sheen. 1t
too, jumped from the earth at the
very touch of the enchanted shovels
and into another great sack.
Soon the mine of silver sheen was
about empty, so the children went on
to another where the ruby-red was
to be found, while the Brownies
busily tied up the sack of silver
sheen and bore it off.
