IMPRESSED WIrH cITY

'You have very beautiful and busy city here, and I am impressed greatly with your wide streets and thoroughfares which are so different from those in Atlanta" declared M o. Moody, firing line" editor of the Atlanta Journal, who is in Birmingham this week as a guest of the Southern Wholesale Dry Goods association.
 MT. Moody humorously remarked that the street cars here were equipped with bells, and that several times he had turned to see whether it was an ambulance or fire truck, to find that trolley was coming up.

FREEZES AT EAST LAKE

East Lake park will be refuge for the tired and weary these hot days" said William L. Harrison, commissioner of public parks and playgrounds. Yesterday was very hot here in the downtown district, but out at the lake it was pleasant indeed.
 "The air, cooled by the waters of the lake, loses all of it's fervidness by the time it reaches the shore, and conditions could hardly be fixed to suit restful occasion more de- sirably.
 Swimmers find the lake very enjoyable this year, and with it's renovation during the win ter months the incline has been very much improved"

WHEN MooNsHINERs THRIVE

"Winter is the favorite time for moon shiners,' said Deputy Sheriff Vergil Sandifer. People drink more whisky when it is cold and sinners especially have more idle time in the winter which they often decide to turn into some ready money.
 "I don't mean to say there is no moonshining during the spring and summer, because there is plenty of it. As long as liquor can be sold there will be some made"

LETTERS TO EDITOR
EXTRA COST OF SCHOOLS

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 If you are friend of our schools can you vote for the bond issue? It is not only question of our school needs, but how to supply the necessary schools now and in the future. All that Professor Glenn and others say may not overstate the at all, and we hope they will continue their work till we take some def. nite and constructive action. Additions to our school buildings should be made each year and provision for the money should be a part of our budget
 Ordinances 769-C and 794-C, to be voted on May 22, will increase taxes 30 cents per $100 and raise $420, ,000, but not one cent for school addition, except the round about way of bonds and interest. Then, it will be about $4 interest and $1 bonds. If that process is continued each $1o0,o0O schoolhouse will cost $3o0,0o0 or more, because the interest require ments will force deficit in some other fund and more bonds will be called for.
 We taxing the people for S3 and giving them $1 worth of schools. Wry not give them $3 worth of schools? The man or woman who thinks this bond issue will help the schools should get quiet et-corner and do some first hand thinking.
 How can you hope to supply schools and in terest if you cannot now supply the schools only?
 Some one must call halt on present methods and get down to cash basis. We don't be- lieve a single member of the board of educa- tion or city commission would advocate any man borrowing money to pay his living ex- penses, yet they seem to recommend it for the city. Why not cut out ordinances 769-C and 794-C and bond issues and let the people vote on 3-mill tax to be used solely and only for new buildings additions for schools and li- braries? This will give $420, ,000 per year to start with and no interest to pay on it.
 Strange coincidence, but the city is paying off this year $150,00o bonds issued in 1892, on which interest of $27o,00o has been paid. That makes total of $420,0o0 paid for $150,o value. Yet the man who advocates this sys- tenn claims to be friend of the schools. Can you beat it? Yeurs truly,

LEEDS CONTINUES TO PROSPER

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 While other towns in Jefferson county for the last year have been hit hard on account of the slump in the prices of iron, steel and coal, Leeds has hardly felt the depression. We see . lot in the papers these days about iron and steel being the fundamental industries of the Birmingham district, and the orators on thou sand stumps sing their praises, but we hear very little about the manufacture of Portland cc- ment at Leeds, which is just important as the making of steel and iron in Birmingham.
 One of the greatest calamities which ever overlook Leeds was when foreign company undertook to develop the brown iron ores in Oak and Pine ridges in Cahaba valley. The mere fact that they made failure in finding this ore gave Leeds black eye and setback, which took years to ocercome. Leeds does not have to pin her faith now to brown ore. Leeds is founded on q rock, and, Phoenix like, Leeds is rising out of the ashes of her defeat. It matters not whether there is pound of brown ore in Cahaba valley or not, Leeds and Cahaba valley will grow and expand.

MOBILE COAL TERMINAL TO
 BE TESTED TODAY

In Mobile today there will be test of the 70, 0,000-ton coal terminal built by the gov- ernment at cost of $40O,o00. It has a ca pacity of 400 tons per hour in lifting coal from barges into the terminal bins and from the bins into ships Vessels drawing 25 feet of water may come alongside now and the chan nel is to be made 30-foot one.
 This port facility is one of paramount im- portance. Nearby is the fuel oil terminal of the government. Ships may hereafter put in at Mobile with the certainty of being quickly supplied with fuel, either oil or coal. That will bring many ships there for bunkerage that hitherto have not been accustomed to come on account of the uncertainty and delay in secur- ing fuel
 Having 10000 tons of coal on hand will en- able continuous export business to be done, and it will also provide for rush export ship ments of coal desired at times when other sources of supply might not be available. The terminal will be a feeder for Alabama coal carried down the Warrior, both for bunker and export. It Will serve 10 develop that DuSlneSS, and, incidentally, to sustain the barge line service.
 It is such facilities as these that make . real port. Ports cannot be built without them. Ships will not come to mere expanses of water. They must have the facilities for doing business
 The government has done about all we can ask for the Warrior river and our port, ex- cept in the matter of granting little more time for vindication of our barge service. The rest must be done by the people of Alabama.
 State aid has made New Orleans the second port in the country without costing Louisiana . penny. Canada made the port of Montreal sscond only to New York on this continent.

COAL MINERS WANT
mo INTERVENTION

Chicago, April 26.-The union
mine workers of Illinois do not
want government intervention in
the coal strike, but prefer to deal
directly with operators, and the
time when a conference can be
held is not very far off, Frank
harrington, president of the Ilfi-
nois miners, declared today.
Mr.. Harrington indicated dis
satisfaction with the conduct OF
the strike by international head
quarters under the direction of
President John L. Lewis, and gave
some indication that the Illinois
workers may urge separate action
in the not distant future.
1.-The trouble with Lewis is that
he has no policy" Mr.. Harrington
said. HE is simply drifting, hop
ing that somewhere down stream
the government will throw out a
life line. l don't think the govern
ment will throw out any such line
and the Illinois miners don't want
it,"
Mr.. Harrington made 1t PLAIN
that the Illinois miners were
hoping for some modification OF
strike policy which would allow
them to open negotiations with
the Illinois operators.

TARIFF BILL TO
INCREASE COST OF
LIVING GREATLY

Washington, April 26-The ad-
ministration tariff bill, If passed
in its present form, will lead to
higher costs or living, reduced
production, unemployment and
the further monopolization OF
American industries, Senator Sim
mons of North Carolina, the demo
cratic leader in the tariff fight,
declared today in the senate.
"A careful stuoy OF this bih in
connection with existing condi-
tions here and abroad" Senator
Simmons said, makes It perfectly
clear that 1t was framed with a
view to taking present prices and
to enable the industries which 1t
protects, to further advance these
excessively high prices without
incurring the risk of foreign COM
petition.
"a comparison of the rates i'm
posed in. this bill with those of the
Payne-Aldrich bill will show that
upon the basis of the price Of pro-
ducts during the two periods
the only basis of fair comparison
or equivalent ad valorems-the
proposed rates applied to present
import prices average from 40 to
SO per cent higher than the aver
age Payne-Aldrich rates for any
year during the life OF the act.
Il think there can be no doubt, "
he added, that the potential rates
of the bill are almost, II not quite,
double those of the present"
Senator Simmons asserted that
the rule manifestly adopted and
followed by the finance commit
tee in fixing rates violates every
theory or principle of protection
heretofore advocated or proclaim
ed bYxhe champions of protection,
including the republican party In
thG country and with the super
added rate-making powers con-
ferred upon the president making
rate fixing almost as much as mat
ter of political and personal pa
as the distribution Of fed
eral offices"
