NEW GERMAN CHANCELLOR

Formation of new German cabinet with Dr. William Marx as premier and Stresemann as foreign minister does not strike the world as being much of change. It is understood that the Stresemann foreign policy will be re- tained, although to outsiders that ap- peared to be the real reason for the Stresemann downfall. The new cabi- net is the alternative to the dissolution of the German parliament and a gen. eral election. Perhaps those in au- thority feared to entrust the fate of the nation to the popular vote at this time, but assuredly the people would be no greater enemies to their couu- try than the Ebert government has been. In Dr. Marx Germany has the same old thing under another name. The Berliner Tageblatt says: "We cannot expect policy of great ideas from him." It appears that Dr. Marx forte is qualification and conciliation among the various political elements that make up the government and the reichstag. Such a personality would be all right if modification were Ger many's supreme need. Inasmuch as the situation demands liberal, reso- lute and courageous leader, it is prob- able that there has been no real change at Berlin

HERE IS INCONSISTENCY

In considering the propriety of the bonus measure and this nations ability to pay it, one is reminded of the fact that the amount of the burden trans ferred from the British people to the American people by the debt-funding commission totals approximately four billion dollars, the exact sum indicated for the bonus. This represented the difference between interest on Lib- erty bonds and the British rate. Yet, in spite of the fact that our commits sion agreed to relieve the British of tax burden equivalent to four bil- lion dollars and to transfer this bur- den to the American people, the press of the nation, which for the most part fights the bonus, almost unanimously approved the debt-funding agreement. This attitude is hardly consistent with the argument that the bonus will lay an extra burden upon the people.
 The delay in funding foreign loans is directly translated into continued tax burden upon the American people amounting to many times the bonus. The American people are paying inter- est on and retiring the bonds issued to provide money for foreign loans. Half our war expense went in the form of such loans. Yet our foreign policy is such as to delay loan negotiation and perhaps also the foreign ability to repay the loans. There are persons loud in their outcry against the bonus, who are equally insistent upon actual remission of all the foreign debts. Why should we be so generous with foreigners and so opposed to the ex- ercise of similar generosity towards our own flesh and blood?

A CRISIS FOR MOSQUITOES

While the people of New Jersey shudder to think of how it would be in that state without it's liquor, the rest Of the country is wondering how it would seem there without the fa- nous. Jersey mosquito. The coming state legislature will be asked for million dollars, not merely to carry on, but to complete, the program of eXtermination of that pest which has made the marshy coast both famous and infamous. "As big as a Jersey mosquito" is phrase that has become proverb. The size and ferocity of this insect are gravely attested by all who have experienced it's attack, while the rest of the country, in the face of this repeated corroboration of testi- mony, cannot doubt, but only marvel. The Jersey mosquito must indeed be a terrible thing. No wonder the New Jerseyites want their liquor. They want to forget. They want a pan- acea for the mosquito bite just as our far Western brethren want it for snakebite. But if the mosquitoes are eradicated, will not the New Jersey de- mand for wetness moderate and even tually disappear? Perhaps, on second thought, the legislature will be impor- tuned not to grant that appropriation.

IBANEZ AND HOWE
By Thomas l.. Mason

The other day I took luncheon with Vincente Blascoe Ibanez, the Spanish novelist, author Of The Four Horsemen of the Apoca- lypse," and Ed Howe, the Kansas sage, and couldn't help thinking to myself that if the four quar- ters of the earth had been ran sacked, no two people so utterly different could have been gath cred as this i'll assorted pair. Ed Howe told a story of Abraham Lincoln, whose Cooper Union speech got him the nomination for the presidency, and said this speech was first delivered in Atch- ison, Kansas, although nobody knew of this but himself and few others. The idea was, of course, that if it hadn't been for Kansas the Civil War might have come out quite differently. Well, John Brown began his rough stuff in Kansas, so there you are!
 Ibanez spoke in Spanish, and his remarks were translated by an admirable side-partner. It was Rebecca West, who is considered by many the brightest woman writer in England, who remarked of Ibanez- that he was a gentleman but no novelist, and one of them said that Ibanez might have re- piled of her that she was neither a novelist nor a lady. Ibanez has keen sense of humor, and said that since we had had prohibition apparently all the bartenders in America had gone over to Europe and were now doing business there. The result was, he said, that anyone who lived at all reg ularly in Europe had to keep up such a pace over there with the American bartenders that 1t was absolutely necessary to run over to America once in while in or der to rest up. He also implied, as nearly as I could gather, that they didn't know much about him in Spain until his books had been taken up by Americans. He told about lecture he once gave in some small town on Long Island. where the man who presided in- troduced him as one of the four great gunmen of the world. Wonderful, wasn't it?

| SOMETHING FOR THE
 BONUS ADVOCATES
Detroit Free Press)

If those who are advocating the passage of national soldiers bo- nus act want to get favorable con sideration for their plan in spite of the growing demand for income tax reduction which has arisen as a result of the publication of the Mellon program. their best bet IS to show the nation how a bonus can be financed without affecting the scheme of the secretary of the treasury for Tightening the burden of federal taxation. This is not likely to be an easy job. yet there are leads which seem to be open and which the bonus peo- pie might follow up.
 For instance, several million state, county and municipal of ficials and employees are now en- 1 toying a complete immunity from the attentions of the federal in- come tax collector as far as their salaries are concerned, and some of them are receiving very fair 1 stipends.
 1 In Washington various reasons why this special privilege is al- | lowed are put forward. Promi- nent among them is a ruling by an attorney general which seems never to have been subjected to the test of court decision. Ger tain supreme court rulings also are cited, but all of these antedate the passage of the sixteenth amendment, which says flatly that congress has the authority to lay and collect taxes on incomes from whatsoever sources derived"
 The federal government as a whole has shown a distinct re- luctance to make a test of its power to tax the incomes of of- ficlals and employees of state gov ernments and their subdivisions. Various reasons and arguments, some of them quite resounding, are put forward in efforts to ex- plain satisfactorily why haziness on this point is permitted to con- tinue, and why privileged class, almost one-third as large as the whole number of income taxpay- CTS in America, is allowed to exist, But It Is fairly obvious that the real reason behind all the excuses is political. The four million odd state, county and municipal job holders in the country have votes. Congressmen and others do not care to alienate them by pushing indiscreetly to an issue a point which those same four million vot- CTS prefer to see remain undecided With the benefit of the doubt on their side.
 Again there is the allied ques- ton whether the clause of the six teenth amendment we have quoted does or does not properly affect bonds which are issued by states and their subdivisions and which are now accorded CT Eshption from federal taxation. The phrase from whatsoever source derived"s seems on the surface to cover the inter- est from these securities, and cer- tainly nothing would be lost by

IBIRMINcHAM's DIVERsIFIcATIoN

Pioneers and builders of Blrming- ham in it's earlier development real fzed and predicted tha tthis was to |be a great center of diversified indus tries using the basic materials which were steadily discovered and increas- ingly produced. Their predictions have come true even beyond their dreams. During the last year and a half something like two hundred and fifty diversified industries have been established in this district, while many have been enlarged and improved for larger outputs. The builders of Blr- \ mingham were so busy developing the districts raw materials that they did ! not fully realize the progress made in the field of diversity. Hundreds of Aarticles are made here of which the average citizen knows little or noth- ing. because development and expan- sion in these lines have been so rapld Qf late years.
 The future enrichment and pros perity of this district depend Tn large measure upon the extent of its diver sified industries. They provide a di- rect market for the basic materials, thus maintaining large payrolls all along the line, and contributing to the co mmercial expansion. It has not been long since the temporary shut ting flown of one or more iron fur Drees created depression in this com-
 nity. With large additions in the
 n-making field, and with hundreds
 diversified, subsidiary and by
 duct industries running at full ca
 ity during a below-normal produc-
 in iron, there is scarcely ripple
 ,n furnace or two discontinues
 repairs or because of dull out
 iron market. Thus the great ben
 ts of diversified industries are
 monstrated.
 With basic materials turned out in
 lndance; with an adequate supply
 contented labor at reasonable cost; tn sufficient transportation facili- Is, to handle the business promptly, i'd with inviting markets within easy lccess of production points, the Bir- bingham district has every promise bf tremendous expansion and every prospect for increased prosperity from his source. Progress in this direction trough opportunities and possibilities ffered by enlargement in quantity Ind variety of finished products made rom the districts abundant raw ma prials is more assured with each assing wear.

Frank B. Kellogg. whom the people of Minnesota refused to re- elect to the senate, was appointed by President Coolidge ambassador to the Court of St. James.
 Former Governor Morrow of Kentucky, who made such a rec. ord that the Democrats recently swebt the state in gubernaSorial election, has been appointed by President Coolidge to represent the people on the railroad labor board.
 It becomes live question in Washington as to the right of a president, the moral, not the legal right of a president, to put again on the payroll, supplied by the taxpayers, an individual whom the people have repudiated.
 The president might say that whereas he respects the judgment of the people of Minnesota in so far as the ability of Kellogg adequately to serve in the senate is concerned, he hold that the former member has the exact quail ifications of an ambassador par excellence.
 The fact remains, however, that Kellogg asked for a job in the senate. By asking, and by strug gling to achieve his desire, he in- dicated that a job in the senate was the ne plus ultra of his ambi- tion.
 The people of the state who knew him better than any ether people. refused to give him the job. gave it, instead, to d dentist of comparative minor reputation.
 And then, as if in rebuke of the people, the president gave Kellogg a job outranking the job he most ardently craved.
 Of course, there are many horns to the dilemma. The people of Minnesota have theirs. The presi- dent has his. Tho people, gener- ally, have theirs.
 Nevertheless, the people of Min nesota are highly resentful. and the radicals" In the senate promise to undertake a futile task of preventing the Kellogg confir- nation.
 If an alibi is needle, the presi- dent has it. He is endeavoring to carry out the policy of his pre- decessor. It is understood tha. he is in position to state that the late MT. Harding promised. to ap- point both Kellogg and Morrow
 It remains to be seen whether or not the president will carry out the Harding policy in other respects, the world court pro- posal, for instance.

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY

The world is making progress, though some sinner here or there Puts some nice, new swindle over, and becomes millionaire; Every day the outlook's brighter, And with braver steps and lighte;. We approach the upper levels where conditions will be fair. The world is making progress, though the pessimists complain; France has recently been treating dear old England with disdain. Europe's always full of trouble, She has had her share, and double, But New Jersey got downpour when her people prayed for rain. The world is making progress as the seasons roll away, Though there still are profit hunters who are grabbing all they may; There are scrambles still for plum der,
 And high office holders blunder. But occasionally rascals find that cheating doesn't pay. The world is making progress, and will reach perfection yet, Though the nations cling to hatred and are very much in debt; Flappers smoke, and by their smok- ing
 Cause lot of futile croaking, But we're paying lower prices for the gasoline we get. The world is making progress; there is reason to believe That ambition, if courageous, may continue to achieve;
 Good old industry is humming, And the day, perhaps, is coming When we'll all be having incomes such as movie stars receive.

NORTH ALABAMA ENTERPRISE

Many cities, towns and communities in North Alabama have been making so much progress of late that expan- sion seems to have become habit in that territory and las, therefore, at tracted comparatively little special at tention. There have been numerous projects in Walker county in opening and enlarging coal mines, in building activity and in road construction. Notable public road improvements have been going on in DeKalb county and adjacent territory. Decatur re- gently dedicated new high school building, and is working on the estab- lishment of several new industries. Talladega is making progress on a new water system. Anniston is doing street paving, home building and city beautiful work. The Tri-Cities are alert in paving and realty develop ment. Building operations in Hunts vile so far this year represent invest ments of more than two millions of dollars. A new handle factory to enl- ploy fifty operatives, at the start is among the evidences of progress at Gadsden. Florence reports an in crease in her gross postal receipts of nearly twenty-nine per cent. during ten months of this year as compared with the corresponding period of last year. Several new and handsome banking buildings have been con- structed in North Alabama cities and towns, and work is progressing on many school and church buildings and

Should shop nt Home


 Unfortunately there are still many people who have the idea that an article purchased. in some larger city is more desirable than the same article purchased at home.. The same article can often be bought right here for less money. The people who proceed on that theory are hurting them selves. often directly, and al- ways indirectly, because they are hurting their town. "Do your Christmas shopping early" is a good idea that is usually not car- ried out. Failure to do this IS often justified. but there is no Justification for failing to do your Christmas shopping in the town in which you live,

Good for AppIe-GrowinE
(Anniston Star)


 North Alabama is naturally an apple-growing section. The oi- mate, the lay of the land and the soil all are suited especially to the successful production of fine ap- pies. The only trouble is that we have not paid the necessary atten- tion to the industry, have not tried to have apple orchards and when we did have them we have not given them the attention they should have had. Orchards must be watched and nursed as care fully as any other growing thing. Trees must be protected from in- sect pests, must be looked after to see that they get the right kind of soil nourishment and should be given just such attention as apple orchards in other parts of the country are given.

 The Mobile Register has long been attempting to accomplish public duty by insisting that Mo bile officials should clean up it's home town. The officials have, for just as long, been insisting that there was no undesirable dust or cobwebs whereabouts, but that the Register was bounding them for political reasons solely. Appears to an onlooker that the Register received some plainly evident in dorsement when lazy Einstein and his big bosses unlimbered their guns and took few shots at that apparently very wet city.

Newspapers and Courts
(Gadsden Journal)

(Gadsden JournaD
 There probably would be much more criticism of the courts seen in the press were it not for a realization of the fact that such criticism tends to break down re- spect for law. Newspaper men are law abiding, and have great respect for the courts, but they have proved in many instances that they are unafraid, when 1t comes to defending a principle. such as free speech. However, they have no desire of aiding in breaking down respect for law and order, and therefore refrain largely from criticizing the courts.
