A line has been put on the city dock. 15 feet back from the face, marking the distance bystanders must keep when steamers are docking, Chief T. F.. P. Keegan said today The line has been placed as a means of protection to the people, who are in danger of being injured by being struck by the lines when they are thrown from the ship to the dock or by being struck by the lines should they break from the mooring piles, Chief Keegan said. Last night he said line broke from the mooring pile on both the Northwestern and the Princess Alice, which steamers were in port here. 'fff af

teams went to the finals.
Glenrock was one Of tho big dis.
appointments Of the tournament.
The Converse county team had n won

COMMISSION AGAINST LEASING

1t IS very encouraging to receive the assurance of the federal coal commis- sion that the various problems affect ing the industry in it's relation to the public are capable of solution. It is equally gratifying to receive the of fieial confirmation of the opinion that all those controversies that have in the past led to strikes are unnecessary and avoidable. The one means whereby this end is attained is not by compul- sory arbitration, but by throwing upon both operators and miners the fuil weight of their joint moral responsi- bility to keep the public uninterrupt edly supplied with coal. There is also thrown upon the operators and miners the duty of arriving at some plan whereby work may be continuous throughout the year, for the purpose of stabilizing the industry and the workmen's income.
 Of significance to Alabama is the commissions solemn condemnation of the leasing of convicts to mines and it's admonition that the government must forbid this practice. Inasmuch as Alabama is the only state leasing convicts-to mines, it follows that Ala bama's failure to rid herself of this reproach and uneconomic practice may be 1ectified by federal order. This would be most humiliating. The legis- lature can still avert this possibility by doing it's duty in this respect. Its duty is to abolish leasing, both county and state. It has no defense of any solid sort for refusing to do this. Its refusal has no substantial indorsemen. among the people of Alabama, but, on the contrary, widespread condemna- tion

INSPECTION BY FIREMEN

Inspection of home furnaces by members of the fire department, as proposed by the firemen, should do much to avoid losses by fires this win ter. A considerable percentage of the fires in resident property originate from faulty furnaces and connections and from accumulation of soot and trash in heating plants during the summer. By careful inspections and warnings to householders much can be done towards removing the source of the trouble, and many fires may bs thus prevented. It is step towards greater efficiency. The work is vol untary by the firemen, and will be of material assistance to the fire depars- ment in tightening it's duties and re responsibilities during a season of pres sure.

BIRMINGHAM WEEK

"BirminehaTn Week" has been pre- pused to take the place of the state fair. It offers an opportunity to put the people of the ,state in closer touch with their metropolis under favorable conditions. The project contemplates many special attractions in the city to hring people from sa radius of three hundred miles. It isIn the nature of
 better er-acquaintanceN plan whereby Eloser social and comm ercial relations .n1nay be established between the city and the town and rural districts.
 Some time ago Meridian, Mississippi, tried Get Together Community Day and made big success of IL. More than twenty thousand people from the towns, villages and rural communities in that section assembled in Meridian. Many attractions were arranged, and the occasion proved mu- tually beneficial to the visitors and the people of the city. One of the results was the establishmenttof wider trade relations, as we'll as more friendly personal aVCltudS Det"esn -spntry and city.
 Birmingham merchants already nn,ve a large territory in this sec
 through the establishment here GU the Break-Bulk Warehouse where Eat quantities of goods can be stored iits distribution. A reduction of some lrty per cent. in freight rates in this
 l.ritory is assured. This will be of
 ;tinct benefit to customers of B1r-
 ngham jobbers and wholesalers. It .asre we'll that present and prospective Fasteners should visit Birmingham, be- eme better acquainted with the mer- hants and people of this city, see for themselves the trade advantages of- feted, and get in closer touch socially and commercially. The plan offers mutual benefits, and especially to the visitors. The better they know the trade center with which they deal and the more they learn of the advantages
 sen7sy Ives from business stand ,oint. the Tgreater their profit.

HIGH RAIL VALUATIONS

It appears to be a general character istic of public utilities to place their own valuations for rate-making pur- poses at figure far higher than con- missions are willing to accept. Thus the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Railway applied to the Interstate Con- merce Commission for valuation of approximately thirty-six million dol lars, but the commission finds that something less than twenty-four mil lion dollars is 'the fair value of the property which the carrier holds and uses in the service of transportation and upon which it is entitled to earn a fair return"
 Although the commissions final figure is low compared with the val uation asked by the railroad, yet even that figure may be too high, and may be arrived at in a manner that does not keep the public's interest para mount. That this may be so is indi- cated by the dissenting opinion of Commissioner Mark W. Potter, who thus declares:
 This case seems to me to show
 unsoundness in the rate case
 theory of valuation which it ap-
 plies. Probably no one would as-
 sert that the property is worth
 anything like $10,000,000. Ger
 tainly no sane person would pay
 that amount for it. It is probable
 that all of it's securities could be
 bought for smaller sum. It
 never has been and never can be
 worth that much. Neither past,
 present, nor prospective earnings
 indicate the possibility of any
 such value. It cannot succeed as
 a legitimate business enterprise.
 It is not needed. It ought never
 to have been built, and, consid-
 cred as a separate line, at least, it should be abandoned. It's assured
 and deserved destiny is to be
 scrapped, unless it is absorbed in
 consolidation. In view of these
 facts, which I think we all know, I see no justification for accord
 ing to this property a value of
 nearly $24,000,000.
 For some time there has been de- veloping a growing suspicion on the part of the people who pay the high freight rates that the basis of railway valuation has been a wrong one ard has been too liberal in allowances foi watered stock and for claims of value upon which the government has nc good right>to compel the people to pay a profit. Everybody knows that there has been much juggling with railway stocks in the past and that some of the fictitious .values thus developed may still operaks to keep transporta- tion costs higher than they should be- MT. Potter is an attorney and man of parts. There may be more truth

AN OPPORTUNITY LOST

The legislatures failure to formu- late water power policy for Alabama is only partially mitigated by it's res olution asking congress for survey, and by it's decisive rejection of the Long resolution to turn everything over to the Alabama Power Company without let or hindrance. The failure to consider water power may turn out to be a costly one for the state. There is only the discretion of the Public Service Commission to stand between the public right and any policy of mo- nopoly. It is true that the record of the present Public Service Commis- sion in this direction is clean, but the commission would have been greatly strengthened by wise legislation tend ing to protect the public interest in this enormous asset.
 It is hardly likely that the federal government will undertake such a complete survey in Alabama of water power resources as would fulfill the public requirements. The legislature forfeited a real opportunity for con- structive achievement when it failed to authorize at least the beginning Of survey of all of Alabamas natural resources and industrial potentialities The refusal of the legislature to CO., operate with the federated chambers of commerce in Alabama in the pro- gram of making Alabama better known to capital and prospective it,- vestors was not based on sound foun- dation. The result of such co-opera- tion would have been a prompt in- crease in Alabama's taxable resources and an appreciable and steadily grow ing revenue.
 The only indueement the legislature has made to industry is the measure granting state exemption to cotton and textile mills. This, as a little in- quiry would abundantly reveal, is not a basic inducement and no industry would be attracted by it. The only IaStOio tHdI aIlIdCI iHuuSITy aEs abundance of raw materials, supply of labor, transportation facilities healthful surroundings and economic sources of power. The granting of a tax exemption is a gratuity that may be bonus for coming here, but would never be in any degree deciding fac tor in selecting an industrial location
 The legislature accepted the chaff and threw away the wheat of it's op- portunity to encourage the industrial expansion of Alabama. Fortunately for the people of this state, industry will probably continue to come anyhow as investors learn more about our basic advantages.

THE BIGGEST INDUSTRIES
(Des Moines Reaister)

NDeS MolneS Register)
 The ten biggest industries in the United States are listed in or der by the department of com merce. Of course, the autoino- tive business leads. with an in- vestment cf almost s3,000, 900. 900. Petroleum comes next at S2.05O.- 100000, and meat packing. foun- dry, lumber and timber. iron and steel, clothing, flour mills, cot ton goods. and boots and shoes follow in order, based on the dol lar value production for 1922. Each represents an investment of more than a billion.
 The Register can not but believe that the motion picture ought to be somewhere in the ten. But 1t is significant that the two big gest are industries which have come into prominence in less than twenty-five years. The automobile business did not begin to rank with the leaders until we'll after 1900, and it was the automt tive industry that brought the Spetro- leum industry. into second place.
