FIRST WOMAN SENATOR.
Mrs. FELTON, Is Strong for Both Pro-
lection and Prohibition.


Mrs. VIM. H. FELTON,. the first United
States woman senator, who has been n
leader in many good works and words
in Georgia, in the course Of an inter-
view printed in the Baltimore Sun,
gave emphatic endorsement of n pro-
tectivc tariff and of prohibition. On
these questions she said:
I'VE of the South should hail q pro-
tective tariff as real blessing. We
cannot expect our industries to thrive
If we allow foreign manufacturers to
come into our country with their goods
made with labor 10 to 20 times as
cheap as we are able to get il ond
undcrscll us.
"Our manufacturing in the South is
in its infancy. We need to stand by
and help. And, unless VIC can sell our
goods cheaper than a man from China,
or Japan, or Germany or France, VIC
cannot hope to see them grow
There's our cotton. We are just be-
Ginning to sec how much more valua-
BE it is going to be to us when we
get our own mills to spinning so that
We won't have TO ship it way up to
New England and then buy it back at
20 times the price we were paid for it.
What if Japan, with her labor costing
practically nothing, could bring man
ufacturCd cotton goods into our cOun-
Try and SELF on an equal footing with
our own mills-how long would Our
plants survive?
I'd vote every time for tariff that
protccts!"
Mrs. F'cltons views on prohibition
arc straightforward. In Il single sylla-
bic she quickly answered a question
put to her regarding agitation for tho
moderation Of the Volstcad act.
NO" she answered quickly.
Mrs. FELTON, said: I'D n million times
rather cut off my good right arm than
see whisky brought back into our
country. Or, for that matter, sec that
splendid prohibition act modified in
any degree.
"If you could have lived when was
young and could have seen the wretch
cdncSs it brought to many, many
homes right here in my own county,
YOU couldn't ask me if I would like to
sec il even modified.
prohibition! God bless that glori-
Gus congress that made it Il law III our
land to prevent the use of intoXicants
in any way whatever."

A SHATTERED UTOPIA

Another communistic enterprise has proved failure according to reports made to an Associated Press correspondent at Riga. Two naturalzed Americans who went to Siberia with several hundred others to work in coal mines on a profit-sharing basis say there were no profits to share and there is great deal of suffering among members of the colony who dreamed of founding an industrial Utopia. Creduloui persons were induced to invest money in this scheme By the kind of advertising mat ter that has been used from time imme- morial to dupe the unwary. Each person, the Americans saidy was required to invest $500, pay his own transportation and buy his food. In return he would be permitted to work in the mines for share of the profits. It is remarkable that such project could be considered seriously by anyone of ord- nary intelligence, but the lure of bolshevism is still strong and repeated disaster has not weakened the faith of some people who have not yet tried it.
 For the unfortunate men, women and children stranded in Siberia, there can be only sympathy, but good will result from eiAStA AHAAAS' " WILL bANS ddulIlOidl pIOol of the fact that communism is impractical and is contrary to the experience of cen turies Lenin tried 1t unsuccessfully in Russia. The soviet government. has made so many concessions to capitalism that in- dustrial conditions have been almost re- stored. Private initiative is encouraged; business has been taken to a large extent out of government control, and restrictions which were throtling Russian industry have been greatly modified. Lenin realized that bolshevism had gone too far and frankly admitted 1t. At time when there Is so much unrest in tho world and so many visionaries are advocating plans to. cure all the ills of humanity the salutary lesson af- forded, by the Russian experiment. should not be overlooked.

still further to encourage the development of cooperation in buying and selling, and thus keeping farm assets liquid and in line with general banking specifications regard ing collateral security Banks are always ready to lend, money to those whose assets are liquid and easily negotiable. There is no commodity that is more certain of a market than food products. All that has been lacking has been such handling as gives the farmer the full benefit of the credit that the traders in farm products have been able to obtain so readily.

BIRMINGHAM's TURN NEXT

Tuscaloosa had few cases of malaria and dengue fever this fall owing to concerted action in the early summer in destroying mosquito breeding places. Among other steps taken was that of filling breeding places in the trunks of trees with cement. Undrainable pools were covered with thick coating of oil. Drainage ditches were dug in low places both in the city and on the grounds of state institutions. Dr. Tricks, federal malarial work director for the south, with headquarters at Memphis, forecasts the city's comparative freedom from malaria next year if the work is carried on relent- lessly.
 What has been done in Tuscaloosa can and should be done in Birmingham. There were many distressing cases of dengue fever and other facilitating forms of malaria in this city this fall. While fatalities were few, many men and women were rendered unable for weeks at time to work. The city health authorities are planning mosquito war for next summer. No less a program would be in keeping with this citys progress, or the duty of the health administration

TAX COLLECTIONS FALL OFF

There was a sharp decrease in tax collec- tions during the fiscal yeag ending June 30, 1922, according to the annual report of the internal revenue bureau, issued by. Commis- sioner Blair Collections fell off $1 ,400,- 100000, or 30 per cent. The decrease in in- come and excess profits taxes was $1,141,- 000,000, or 35 per cent. In his analysis of the bureaus report MT. Blair states that the decrease in miscellaneous collections was largely due to the repeal or reduction of taxes provided for in the 1921 revenue act, which became effective January 1, 1922. This, however, accounts for only five months. A contributory factor to decreases in collec- tions was the business slump during 1921. It was bad year, with the result that the in- comes of firms and individuals were smaller The republicans cannot claim any general relief as result of their tax revision, though the tax has been frightened for those best able to pay tax.
 Incidentally, 1t cost the government SLOT for each $100 collected, compared with 72 cents the previous year. The high cost of tax collecting Is shown by net expenditure of $34,2S6,651. It is an enormous task, to OO 5ulSs Dut IL tiiCAC WtlS lSoo lcu tape, dltu less duplication of effort, in collecting the nations taxes 1t would not be so expensive. The mere obligation of paying ones taxes is often not as burdensome as the time and trouble 1t takes. Commissioner Blair says the difference in cost of collection for 1921 ana 1922 lis due mainly to the large reduction >ins the revenues of 1922 incident to the shrinkage of business and incomes, the repeal of certain miscellaneous war taxes and va rious provisions of the law such as the amortization of wartime facilities and the in- crease in individual exemption contained in the revenue act of 1921, with the consequent reduction in the income tax liability of cor porations and individuals" It Is interesting to note that only tobacco and fermented liquor taxes show an increase over 1921. Ap- proximately 1,250,000 income tax returns are received annually by the federal govern ment. Eliminating the tax dodgers, the great majority of American citizens do not have incomes large enough to be taxed. The aver age yearly income for individuals has been estimated as considerably under s2,0o0.

timely, and while stroking the British lion, he was careful to say nothing that would create disquet in the American state de- partment. The doughty colonel has evil dently learned how to avoid those pitfalls into which he plunged with alarming ire quency when he first arrived at the Cours of St. James and was serving his diplomatic apprenticeship, or perhaps he has received timely hint from Washington. It was well worth while to remind his hearers that there Is no disparagement for America in being creditor nation For long time, as he de- clared, we were debtor nation and "a very hard working debtor, through many generations" It is rather inconsistent for European nations to resent the fact that we are a creditor and not debtor. Owing money seems to create ill1will, whether the debtor is an individual or a nation.
 When Ambassador Harvey speaks in serious vein he makes a far more favorable impression than he does by his attempts to be humorous. Solemnity, which connotes dignity, is valuable asset for a diplomat Colonel Harvey should forget the days of his editorial swashbuckling.

EUROPEAN AIRPLANE SERVICE

From the New York Globe.
 The Germans are bitterly opposed to the restrictions put upon their development of air craft by the powers. This was plainly shown when the first of the great Daimler plans of the London-to- Berlin line arrived in the German capital. It was greeted by an almost universal demand from the Teuton press that the government protest against the use of such planes in Germany as vio- lation of the Versailles treaty. To avoid the restrictions of the peace treaty, German cap ital has organized several air services in adjacent countries, running passenger and freight craft from these nations into Ger many. * Illustrating just how the air lines spread out over Germany, these regu- lar services may be mentioned: Bremen Dresden, Bremen Berlin, Bremen Hamburg Stettin, Hamburg Berlin, erlin-Dortmund, Berlin-Dresden, Berlin-Nuremberg, Nurem- berg-Munich, Berlin Munich, Berlin-Stettin. The traffic is so heavy on these lines that reservations are made days in advance and the accommodations always are insufficient. The machines always carry up to capacity. * Approximately 300 commercial ma- chimes are operated on the French lines. They are much larger and more comfortable than the German planes, and make better time, up to 125 miles an hour. The fares are higher than in Germany, but still below the rail rates prevailing in the United States. The largest of the French air corporations is the Compagnie des Messageries Aeriennes, which has large part of the Paris London traffic. It operates 61 planes of various sizes. The most pretentious of the French undertakings is the Paris-Budapest route, via Vienna. * # There are at present three British air lines running to Paris and one to Brussels, besides the new Daimler concern to Berlin. They carry about 200 passengers week. In all, about 25 machines are in service.

LET THE PROGRAM PROCEED

Commissioner Dickson states that in order to complete the South Bessemer highway the city will make a detour of three-quarters of mile because of the refusal by the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power company to grant rights-of-way. Although the company pleads financial disability, in a matter of this kind public welfare comes first. The fran chise to use the streets entails obligations on the part of the company which it has failed to perform. Repeated conferences between the commission and company officials have brought no results. In the meantime the citizens of Birmingham are forced to do without needed street Improvements and ex- tensions.
 No minor consideration should be permit ted to stand in the way of public welfare. The responsibility rests squarely on the city commission. The city can obtain rights-of- way. The commission, and not the traction company, is vested with control of Birming- hams streets. Its authority as representing the rights of the people Is paramount, and should be enforced. The commission has full legal powers to make the company com ply with its wishes and should not hesitate to exert that authority. It Is to be hoped that detours on the South Bessemer high way and other routes where 1t is proposed to go around the utility company's territory, will be temporary, and the commission will vigorously carry out the construction pro- gram which public interest demands.

A Timely Editorial
Treaty" by Seven States

From the Arkansas Gazette.
 From time to time we read of representatives of nations signing treaties dealing with international matters, just as at present repre- sentatives of several nations are gathered at Lausanne to consider a Near East settlement. But here in the United States we now see com pact signed by seven states, which deals with matter that concerns them all-the control and use of the waters of the Colorado river system. The actual signing of this agree ment took place in the old palace of the governors at Santa Fe, N. NJ. Arizona, California, Colorado, Ne vada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyom- ing have joined in the agreement. Its main purposes are to provide for equitable division and appor- tionment of the water of the Colo rado river system, to establish the relative importance of different beneficial uses of those waters, to promote interstate commerce, to re- move causes of present and future controversies and to obtain the ex- peditious agricultural and industrial development of the Colorado river basin, the storage of it's waters anu the protection of life and property from floods. The compact must be approved by the legislature of each signatory state and by Congress. It is the work of the Colorado river commission, which was created by 1, Congress and the seven states. Its chairman is Secretary of Commerce Hoover, who was named by Presi- dent Harding.
 In 1920 the land irrigated from the Colorado river and it's tribu- taries amounted to 2,464,000 acres in the Upited States and 10000 acres in Mexico. It is estimated that the amount of irrigated land can be increased to 6,123,000 acres in the United States and S00,000 acres in Mexico. It is estimated also that 6,000,O00 horse power could be developed from use of stored water in hydro-electric plants. Flood control is one of the important problems. In the Im- perial valley, where the Colorado burst through its banks several years ago, there is now Some $100,- 000,000 worth of property.
 In more than one instance two or more states have in the past set tied by agreement questions that have arisen between them. But have as many as seven states ever be- fore signed compact for settle ment of some great matter?

MAKING PERFUMES
From the London Times.


 In lecture published by the Royal Society of Arts last week MT. L.. G. Radcliffe discussed modern progress in the manufacture of per fumes-one of the oldest industries ministering to human pleasure. The art of the maker of scents is to preserve the fragrance of some es- sential oil, usually vegetable, be- yond the time when it would suc- cumb to the natural decay of the living plant. Distillation is mode of accomplishing this preservation, older than history and still being improved by the perfection of ap- paratus. But there are essences too delicate to survive heat and the pas sage through still and worm; these are captured by spreading the fresh blooms on trays lined with fats or oils, into which, the dying flowers slowly breathe>their fragrance. In vet another device the flowers are steeped in some selective solvent. The yield of the finer scents is min ute. A ton of orange blossoms gives only 30 to 40 ounces of the odorous oil; 100000 Bulgarian roses supply only an ounce of otto. The chemist is now engaged in dis entangling the odorous constituents from these costly substances and has succeeded in many cases in making quantitative determinations of the individual compounds con- tained in a natural perfume. He has gone still further and has pro- duced some of them by artificial synthesis or by separation from less costly materials. It is true that the subtlest of the natural perfumes have still baffled his art. But a great and legitimate industry has arisen in the production of cheap and tolerable substitutes for natu- ral scents with a profitable although less legitimate side line of scientific adulteration.
