Senators Determined to Down
Rumors That Congress
Would Use Bill as Football,
COMMITTEE Determined
NOT TO ADD MORE TAXES
Plan is to- Issue Certificates
Of Indebtedness With Hope
European Debts viii be Paid

WASHINGTON, April 22.-(U. PO
Tine finance committee members
met today in Senator McCumber's Of
flee to map out n campaign for Inc
spring drive on the soldien bonus.
The senators appeared determined to
squelch rumors that congress would
use the bonus for political foothah
without definite progress being made.
Republicans have been fully ar
ousesls ia the .democratic threat to
talxesuvefS the bonus legislation as u
democratic campaign asset. Ac-
cordingly republicans are now de-
termined that they Will meet the is
sue squarely, act without delay and
take the consequences. They are al
SO determined that the bonus will inn
pose no new taxes on the people at
this time. Issuing of treasury cert-
ficates of Indebtedness is daily gain
ing more support. They believe that
other means than taxes will ultimate
ly ~be found to retire these certifi-
Gates. Economies in appropriations
may be one answer. with attendant
pissibility that congress may for the
present refuse the ship subsidy, good
roads appropriations and other SINH
lar funds to make possible the bonus
payment in cash. President Harding
is Included in the powerful OPPOSITE
on 10 such course, but the recent
repLb lean oausus decided the bonus
must go through even if other thing
Wait, so the party will redeem the
campaign pledge, thus tiding them
selves over until next year when fl
naneial problems will probably b'
simpler through the refundng of th'
foreign debt, and increased volume
Of revenue from improved busines
conditions.

STATEWIDE EXHIBITION OF
 ALABAMA PRODUCTS

It has been suggested by some of the League of Women Voters and manufacturers who par ticipated in the housewives exhibition of Br- mingham-made products that Birmingham have a statewide exposition of Alabama made prod ucts. The suggestion is good one and is feasible.
 Just as the people of Birmingham should know more about what is made in Brming- ham, the people of Alabama should know what is made inside the state. The Birmingham family is part of the Alabama family. Hav- ing gotten together here in Birmingham, let the spirit of "get together" expand until it is as virile in one part of the state as in another and until each section realizes that it is depen- dent on the other sections.
 Birmingham should know more about the industries of southern Alabama, eastern Ala bama and western Alabama. They, in turn should know more about Birmingham and northern Alabama.

SECRETARY HOOVER WILL STAY
 IN THE GARNET

Another "raid" on the cabinet has been frustrated by Herbert Hoover. He has declined to accept the post of director general of Phil adelphias proposed sesqui-centennial exposition to be held in 1926. It is stated in press dis patches that he was offered salary of $50 ,0o0 for five years, less than the reputed hire of the Hon. "Babe" Ruth, incidentally, and of the Hon. Will Hays, now factotum of the movies.
 In 8 letter to Mayor J. Hampton Moore of Philadelphia, Secretary Hoover says he was influenced to stay in the cabinet, both by the request of President Harding that he do so and his own desire to continue the work he has undertaken to build up the department of com merce.
 MT. Hoover is conceded to be one of Mr. Harding's most competent cabinet officers and there will be general satisfaction in learning that he is not going to give up position for which he is extremely well fitted, as sue cessful business man and administrator. It is to be doubted if another man in the country could be found more capable for the depart ment over which Mir Hoover presides. He is the type of public official who is too often conspicuous by his absence-a poor politician but an able executive.
 Philadelphia will doubtless find someone else to take charge of it's exposition and make it success. Mir Hoover is needed in Washington.

THE IRISH TWINS

?. W. Wilson, in The North American Review.
 In any attempt to analyze the future of Ire land under her own elected institutions one has to begin with the discouraging fact that at the birth of the nation, as David Wark Griffith would call it. the Mother of Parlia- ments, so proud of her numerous progeny, has in this instance presented grateful mankind with twins, both of which restive offspring the legislatures at Dublin and Belfast, insist at the moment on surviving. The hope that there might have been from the outset of her career as dominion an Ireland united in her elected institutions, has not been realized.

MANY PASS UP QUOTATIONS

"I notice that market quotations in the Bir- mingham district are little noticed by the or dnary housewife" said Joseph Hall, which to large extent allows some merchants to get whatever price they put on most any com modity.
 By way of explanation I was in a small store the other day and woman asked for dozen eggs, then after they were delivered over the counter, asked the price. They were 80 cents, the merchant told her, and she paid the price and went her way.
 Eggs quoted 25 cents in todays mar ket,' another woman spoke up after the first customer departed, and who wished dozen eggs for her own use, but can get them some where else she said.
 You see, the market changes so much the merchant offered in explanation, that haven't been able to place a price on today's pur- chases. If the market says 25 cents, I'll have to let you have them at that price.
 "All of which goes to show,' continued Mir. Hall, that all merchants do not observe mar ket conditions and quotations, but get what they can for their products. However this ap- plies generally to the smaller grocer, be- lieve"

"BUFFALO BILL"

From the New Orleans Times -Picayune.
 Wyoming is planning a memorial to "Buf falo Bill" Money for this purpose was ap- proprated by the state legislature five years ago, but intervention of the World war neces- sistated a postponement Now, however, ar rangements are in full swing and before long an imposing statue will be unveiled in the square opposite the hotel in Cody, Wyo that catches many tourists who are bound for Yellowstone National park Cody is a little town opposite the eastern entrance of Yellow stone. It is named after it's founder and is as we'll known probably as any other place of it's size in America because of him. Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney of New York is the sculptor who has been engaged to shape likeness of the-celebrated frontiersman. She was selected because of her proficiency in this line of work and because she was a close friend of the man whose memory is to be honored.
 Wyomings tribute to Cody will express the states appreciation of his services as a pro- gressive and useful citizen, it has been ex- planed, rather than stand mere reminder of once picturesque character. When think of William F. Cody minds naturally drift to scouting trips, buffalo hunts and wild west performances beneath a whte-tepped tent-but out in Wyoming they will tell you he was of great assistance to development. He did things. The Shoshone valley learned the trick of irrigation from Buffalo Bill" and the doctrine of irrigation was fruitfully spread over the state largely through his propaganda If America ever had man who knew how to be convincing with publicity it was William r. Cody
 Cody, the man, will not be forgotten by Americans. In addition to the statue to be erected at Cody and the town itself to per petuate his memory, the old plainsmans grave on. the top of Lookout Mountain, near Denver, already is one of the popular spots for visitors in the west. The museum, opened some time ago near the rock piled grave, holds many in- teresting relics of bygone western days that naturally appeal to the romantic side of the American nature. The old west is gone, but one of our weaknesses is the pleasure we de- rive in being reminded of it.

HUMOR OF TWAIN
From the Macon Telegraph.


 While the Pselmist said in his haste there was but one honest man in the United States-of course, there were number of honest women and that this distinguished citizen was him self, but that when he gave in his taxes, he found that the only honest man had fallen.
 Harper's Magazine which is running serially unpublished parts of Mark Twain's auto biography, presents this racy statement by MT. Clemens to how the one honest man found when he to give in his taxes that he not really honest:
 Day before yesterdays New York Sun has a paragraph or two from its London cores pondent which enables me to locate myself. The correspondent mentions few of our American events of the past twelvemonth, such as the limitless rottenness of our great insur- ance companies where theft has been carried on by our most distinguished commercial men as profession; the exposure of constituencies graft-colossal graft-in great municipalities.
 The recent exposure of miionfold graft in the great Pennsylvania railway sys- tenn; and finally todays lurid ex- posture, by Upton Sinclair, of the most titalc and death-dealing evils of them all, the beef trust exposure which has moved the Presi-
  which shall protect America and Europe from falling, in a mass, into the hands of the doctor and the undertaken. According to that cor respondence, Europe is beginning to wonder if there is really an honest male human creature left in the United States.
 "A year ago, was satisfied that there was no such person existing upon American soil except myself. That exception has since been rubbed out, and now it is my belief that there isn't a single male human being in America who is honest. I held the belt all alone, until last January. Then went down with Rocke- feller and Carnegie and group of Goulds and Vanderbilts and other professional graft CTS, and swore off my taxes like the most con- scienceless of the lot. I was great loss to America, because I was irreparable Understand, I saying these things as a dead person. I should consider it indscreet in any live one to make these remarks publicly" Seriously, it did appear that there would never be another Mark Twain even though all men should become honest. But the reader of the March Harpers will find that Stephen Leacock, a Canadian who calls himself an American because he Is an American causes the mind to laugh in the same irresistible way that Twain had such genius for making it laugh. The difference seems to be that Mark Twain is better sustained than Leacock-no humorist of history is so well sustained as Twain-and that Leacock gives you an oc- casional finer smile and happier laugh.

NITRATE PRICES RISE

Nitrate of soda has gone up $10 ton,' said J. L. Jordan, county agricultural agent. Government agents have had large quantities on hand which they have been selling freely. As a result the price has been kept down. But this quantity bought by the government for war purposes has been consumed and rise has resulted.
 Most of our nitrates come from the Chile beds. l suppose the owners and exporters in Chile will now have chance to get their own prices. The price now is about s60 ton. The rise is of vital interest to farmers and truck growers, as nitrogen is one of the most vau- able elements of fertilizer"

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
GoRGAs MEMORIAL GREAT ASSET

"You are going to build at Tuscaloosa a school of sanitation to honor the great world benefaetor, Gen William Crawford Gorgas, and in doing 50 you will perpetuate the great work of health conservation, ably begun and exc cuted by General Gorgas," said Robert Jemi- son, ST.
 Like the yellow fever was banished from the United States after it had cost the United States annually many 12,000 lives and many millions in dollars and cents, this school will provide trained men and women to banish all preventable diseases from this fair land, thereby saving many lives and great los sto the country in dollars and cents. Gordon Craw- ford president of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, of this state, states that un- der the direction of Dr. Lloyd Noand one of Dr. Gorgas' assistants at Panama, the annual of malaria among it's employees have been reduced from over 2,500 cases to less than 150 cases, thereby many times increasing the eff ieieney, happiness and prosperity of their em- ployes and the communities surrounding their plants.
 "The benefit to Alabama and all the states of the union will be beyond estimating when efficient forces are at work to prevent all preventabe diseases in this great land of ours"

NOW THEY KNOW WHO WROTE
 FOUR-POWER TREATY

If the "irreconcilabes' of the United States Senate are sincere in their contentious regard ing the four-power treaty, they have a poor opinion of American diplomacy. Secretary Hughes answered the charge that this treaty originated in London or Tokio by stating that he wrote the draft himself, after comforting with the other delegates. That ought to take some of the wind out of the sails of the vo- ciferous statesmen who are trying to nuify the work of the arms conference, but they have by no means been silenced.
 If we are to believe Reed, Borah and other gentry of that ilk, MT. Hughes and the Amer lean delegates went as lambs to the slaughter and fell victims to the wiles of the English and Japanese diplomats. With such men as Reed, Borah, Watson of Georgia and France of Maryland sitting in the conference it is not hard to imagine what would have happened. Fortunately, for the welfare of America and world peace, they were not present, but if ratification of the four-power treaty, they propose to do it, simply because there is no room in their narrow, provincial minds for any thing but distrust and suspicion.
 AS. Hughes says defeat of the treaty would

DRAGGING IN MIR. WILSON
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
 The bi-weekly yarns from Washington about Mr. Wilson's intervention in the treaty con troversy read like the inspired work of re- publican senator. The senatorial mind is much like the subsconscious mind that the psycho- analysts talk about. It reveals itself mainly in dreams, and Woodrow Wilson is the subject of a great part of this senatorial dreaming.
 MT. Baruch emphatcally denies the latest story that he is sort of Jason oliver between MT Wilson and Senator Borah, and Mir. Baruch's statements coincide with the Worlds information. According to Mr. Wilson's closest friends, he has not even made up his mind about the four-power treaty, much less entered into campaign against it.
 If MT. Wilson wished to oppose the treaty it is certain that he would never find it neces- sary to engage outside services. He has always shown considerable talent in the expression of his own opinions, and if there were any thing that he wanted to say about the four power treaty he would be quite likely to say it. The public would not be under the neccs- sity of obtaining his views secondhand through the Senate.
 However, the republican leaders of the Sen ate decided long ago that MT. Wilson ought to lead the fight against the treaties in order that they could insist that he was the real issue, and they will never be reconcled to his policy of systematic silence.
