A GOOD PAVING RECORD

The street-paving record of Birmingham for the year ending September 30 last, is gratifying one. total of a hundred and fifty miles of paving has been completed. The nearly 0,000 invested could not have been spent in better cause. The city as a whole has reached that stage of highway construction where continuous travel east, west, north and south inside the city limits over smooth and hard-surfaced thorough fare is possible. Within another year the connecting links with the outlying suburbs still required for completion of the Greater Birmingham highway system will probably have been finished and the city may then look with real pride on her system of streets.

Ragland School Will Soon Open

From the Selma Times-Journal
 Another school dedicated to the high mission of giving to country boys training and development, in useful occupations and fitting them to earn their way in the world will soon throw open it's doors at Rag land and become the beneficiary of support as a state institution. The work of raising the $30,000 by popular subscriptions, which was a condition on which the states ap- propriation of an equal amount would become available, has not been a small undertaking, but has been achieved by unremitting eff fort, inspired by lofty ideal. Sem ator Watt Brown of Ragland has been the patron-saint whose zeal and unflagging labors have brought success to the movement. but SUD- porting and supplementing all other activities has been the service rem dered by the affiliated Exchange clubs of Alabama. To these clubs the Ragland school has been an ob- ject of devoted regard and tireless effort. They have raised alarge share of the $30,000 which was nec- essary to carry the enterprise through to success.

annually, the imposition consisting of the fact that this vast amount represents not the cost of the process, but the arbitrary profits extracted by traders in commodities. Therefore, there is some basis for the belief that the price to the producer can be in- creased and the price to the consumer be actually decreased by cooperative farm marketing agencies. Thus it is seen that the question is one affecting not the farmer alone, but also every householder in the land. The Spread" between farm and retail prices has been frequently complained of It now looks as if the benefit of the remedy would be fairly divided between the farmer and the consumer. Cooperative associations are not one-sided in their remedial results.

REDUCING THE WAR DEBT

The federal treasury, by paying $1,000,- 0O0,000 in a single day on war indebted ness, carried out one of the largest financial operations it has engaged in since the war ended. The sum was applied to Victory notes called for redemption, maturing cer- tificates of indebtedness and interest on the public debt. The Notation of $500, 100000 in two and one-half year treasury notes and $4O0, 900, ,000 in certificates of indebted ness, part of which will mature in three months and the rest in one year, makes the net reduction in the national debt $500 ,000,- 900. Since the $400, 100000 in certificates will all mature within twelve months, the debt will soon be still further reduced. These transactions of the treasury show an
 efficient management of public funds and

A Timely Editorial
The Bear in the Hindu-Kush

From the New York Tribune.
 There was something personal as we'll as picturesque in the remark of Tchitcherin to Lord Curzon: You are perhaps disturbed because our horsemen have reappeared on the heights of Pamir and because you do not have before you the half idiot Czar who ceded you in 1895 the crest of the HinduKush. :" Tchiteherin knew that few English statesmen appreciated more keenly the significance of these words than Lord Curzon. He had not forgotten that thirty years ago Lord Curzon made a thorough survey of this mountain district and learned with his own eyes that whoever controls the passes through Hindu-Kush and the Pamirs controls the northwest ern approaches to India.
 During the last fifty years the Russians have been slowly pushing southward and the British in conse- quence have extended their out posts to the north and have carried on a ceaseless, silent struggle. to check the Russian advance. One of Russia's main objectives has been the Khyber Pass, through which Alexander the Great is said by some to have entered India, and which served as the gateway for the hordes of Ghengis Kahn and count less other invaders of the Indian plains. To prevent Russia gaining this pass has therefore been part of Britain's policy of empire.
 At the same time that Tchitcherin thus announced the presence of the Russian horsemen at the gates of India the Moscow newspapers car- ried articles pointing out that Great Britain is once more endeavoring to extend her sway over Asia and that she is threatening the Russian out posts on the Indian frontier. More than year ago the Bolsheviks an- nounced the successful conclusion of agreements with Afghanistan giving them preferred rights in this terri tory, which had been buffer state between Russia and India. These, they seem to think, are now threat ened.
 The resurgence of Russian nation alism and imperialism which has been steadily progressing under Le- nine and Tchitcherin is thus again in conflict with the British. The old pre-war rivalries for the domination of India have re-arisen.. Bolshevik Russia is not yet strong enough to be able to do more than make pie turesque threats of her horsemen on the crests overlooking the passes but the old pressure is obviously to be resumed, and once more the Rus sians are casting covetous eyes upon India.

A CITY WITH A PAST

If it is true, as reported in dispatch from Lausanne, that the Turkish nationalists will probably make Angora the permanent cap- tai of Turkey and relegate Constantnople to a place of secondary importance, a city that has figured in great part of the worlds history will lose it's political prestige. In it's influence on the affairs of mankind it rivals Athens, Rome and Jerusalem. For more than eleven centuries it was the capital of the Roman empire in the east, from 330 to 1453 and since 1453 it has been the capi- tai of the Ottoman empire. Historians have pointed out that the founding of Constant
 nople by Constantine the Great was a stroke of genius. Like Rome, it lies on seven hills. The natural beauty of it's environment and it's admirable situation with respect to world commerce have given Constantinople pre- eminence among capitals. The wisdom of Constantine in choosing site that had prac- tically every advantage needed for his new capital, has been vindicated through all the centuries that have passed since the little town of Byzantum became Constantnople. In founding the capital of the Roman pire on the Bosporus Constantine was carry ing out policy of the Roman Emperor Do- cletian, who divided the government among four colleagues to better administer civil and military affairs. The safety of the Roman empire, menaced by the Persians and ire quent assaults of barbarians on it's from tiers, made Constantinope the logical loca- tion. Rome's days of conquest were over, and it was now the task of Constantine to keep the empire intact.
 Ever since Constantinople fell into the hands of the Turks is has been involved in the political intrigues of Europe and Asia. Great Britain and Russia have for centuries fought diplomatic duel over the city, and before the World war it was included in the imperialstic schemes of Germany. The Turks may not move their capital to the inaccessible town of Angora, although the motive in making the change would be to get beyond the range of guns on European battleships, but whether they do or not, for geographical and sentimental reasons Constantinople will never cease to be im- nOrtant

In Hotel Lobbies
Wanted to Come

Birmingham should certainly appreciate the coming of the new firm of Doremus, Daniels & Co.,, the New York and Chicago stock, produce and cotton exchange oper- ators who have taken the second floor of the Steiner building and will open offices there," said o. L. Bum, manager of the Chamber of Commerce. Paul Heyman of that firm was set back in his effort to open offices in Birmingham by a seeming inability to obtain space. We secured the town and it seemed as though it could not be done. However, we persevered and the firm, which is one of the largest in the country and of highest repute, has been landed. This office space matter is serious"

NOT YET DEAD

From the Chicago Herald and
 Examiner.
 The day of the horse is far from done. The beauties of the stock show arouse the thought, but the streets give confirmation. There are more than thirty thousand horses in service, we are informed, in or near the loop every day. They are good horses, and getting better; and they cost more than they used to. A fifty-dollar horse was a fair animal within our recollection. but not now. For short hauls about the city. taking original cost, deprecia- ton and upkeep all into considera- tion, the automobile truck has not yet proved that it can supplant the sort of horse bred for strength and endurance. Even in war, horses, where they could be got, continued to prove their world-old first-rate- value in obedience and adaptability to conditions. The automobile need not worry. But neither need Dob bin.

WELL EARNED PROSPERITY

From the New York Tribune.
 Without troubling about creeds or racial differences the Salvation Army has calmly proceeded to give aid and comfors and spiritual con solation to the poor and needy, wher- ever it has found them. A little surprising to most people will be the announcement that u this coun- try it holds more than fifteen mil lion dollars worth of realty. But its properties and the income it derives from them are devoted to useful and Worthy purposes. The soldiers of the army are always go- ing about doing good, and no charge has never been made that any of them got rich out of his Yabors. That such an organization has pros pered will meet with the entire ap- proval of it's millions of well-wishers n America.

Good Work of "Hi-Y" Bows"

Boys of the Hi "Y" club are doing a great work in novel way this Christmas" said W. M. Cosby. Their idea to appear at the homes of needy families in Birmingham several days before Christmas and take orders for their practical needs is one of the finest conceptions of Santa Claus l have ever seen.
 "The boys will take orders for fuel, clothes and food or will note the fact that their house rent is past due or that they need medicine or something like that. On Christmas day they will reappear with the very thing that that particular family needs"

Small Counties Aroused

From the Centreville Press.
 Are the big cities getting the road bond money? This question is being asked by a good many people in counties where there is no through highway between large cities. The members of the legislature from the small counties are going to take up this matter at the forthcoming ses- sion of the legislature, and see if these charges are true. If they are, a new highway commission should be named and the work reorganized.

BENEFITS THE HOUSEHOLDER

The value of farm products Tor 1y22, witH a smaller yield than last year, is greater by nearly two billion dollars. It is believed by friends of the cooperative marketing idea that this increase will not be passed on to the consumer, but that it will be balanced by the more economical system of placing the food on the nations tables. The nation never has thoroughly appreciated the great sums absorbed in handling farm products between producer and consumer. They amount to hundreds of millions of dollars

BIRMINGHAM PRODUCT WINS

In scanning the contract for fifteen miles of castiron pipe for a natural gas main at Alexandria, Louisiana, last week, the lead
 ing pipe interest placed new Birmingham product on the market after spirited com petition on the part of other bidders, includ- ing makers of steel pipe, which is not manu- factured in the south. The new pipe is made under what is known as the De Lavaud process and is stronger than ordinary cast iron pipe, standing a pressure of 2,5oo pounds. The significance of the Alexandria contract is the victory of cast-ron over steel, which foreshadows an increase in the de- mand for Birmingham iron pipe. Birming- ham has a new industry in product the value of which has been established under exacting tests, and whose future is assured.

A Farm Bureau Profit

From the FIOrence Times.
 Farm bureau headquarters at Montgomery have announced that they have secured a large lot of kainit, to be delivered at Mobile, at a price considerably cheaper than anywhere else obtainable. This fertilizer and others of similar character have saved the farmers of Alabama thousands of dollars, more than the cost of sustaining the organization. Then add on top of that what theAorganization has done in lifting the price of cotton and you have something favorable to think about.

Alabama's Budget Law

From the Selma T1mes-Journal.
 One piece of legislation for which Governor Kilby and the last legisla- ture must be given full credit and which is tribute to their sagacity ard foresight, is the budget law, which was enacted for the govern ment and guidance of all those who in the future will be entrusted with the states financial affairs. This budget law requires that careful es- inmates must be made of the states probable revenues at the beginning of. each new administration and the authorized expenditures must be made to fall within these estimates. It has been found that a budget af- lords the only business-like way to handle the affairs of a state or municip ipality. The preparation of a budget will. no doubt, be one of the first matters taken up by Governor Brandon, for under the provisions of the budget law he will not be al- lowed to approve of appropriations that will be in excess of the amounts that will be available for sxpendl- ture.

WHY NOT A SOUTHERN JUDGE?

Among those being considered in con- nection with the vacancy on the federal supreme court bench caused by the retire. ment of Associate Justice Pitney is Judge Edward T. Sanford of Knoxville. United States district judge for the eastern and middle districts of Tennessee. The fact that Judge Sanford is the only man from ths south who is mentioned for this honor calls to mind that, since the death of Justice Harlan, no southern republican has sat on the supreme bench Of the three appoint ments made during the present administra- tion, one has been from the east, one from the north and one from the west. It ap- pears logical, therefore, for the south to cherish the hope that this grand division will be the next favored. Judge Sanford has the unanimous indorsement of the bar, both democrats and republicans, in his state. This support is due to his good record As
