MUSCLE SHOALS TO MOBILE

Connection of the Port of Mobile with the Tennessee river is not a day dream. It is a wel-conceived and mapped-out plan feasible of execution and promising great expansion of the states transportation and wealth producing facilities. Congress has ordered survey of a proposed canal con- meeting the upper Sipsey and the Tennessee rivers, and the city commission of Mobile has determined to call a conference between the state harbor board, members of the Mo bile legislative delegation and others for the purpose of effecting lineup of Ala bama interests back of the proposed canal.
 This canal is not new idea. It has been urged before and the strategic advantage of connection by water between the Ten nessee river and Alabama's seaport at Mo- bile has always been apparent. The practi- cality of the project has never been attacked. It would be wonderful agency in the de- velopment of western Alabama to have a water route from the Muscle Shoals indus trial district straight to the gulf. It would be good for all Alabama, for the more ways this state has of getting its products to the gulf and of enlarging the area of the ports influence, the more certain are the perma- hence and efficiency of the ports service. The Port of Mobile is Alabama's gateway to development of her maximum of pros perity. Every additional established means of assembling products there will automati- caly add to the states power of doing busi- ness at low cost of transportation, which is the basis of commercial and industrial expansion.

Dear Torch Bearer: This is your Red Letter Day. They say that poet is born, not made. Believe me, was born with a pencil behind my ear and rhyming dic- tionary in my hand. Before graduated into short clothes, I had climbed Parnassus and hitched up poor worn-out old Pegasus-and he's been lodging flivvers ever since.
 have written many poems and have sent them to the great editors of this broad land, and they have all realized my genius-for every one has sent them back with the sad dest of regrets that something prevented him from using them.
 Therefore I send them to you, knowing that you cannot only recognize genius, but also appreciate the same. These pomes should be in the hall of fame, for they are classics. They should be in the hands of school children throughout this land of the free. Now I've done my part. It's up to you. Get them before the public. Yours fraternally-Patsy.
 Editors Note-We have reao your, pomes with interest and have found them so bril- liant, so noble, so tremendously overpower- ing in their appeal that we dare not print them, lest they cause our other contributors to curl up and perish in despair. That is the penalty of genius.)

HOW A TAX IS OFFSET

Taxes paid by farm lands have more than doubled in the period between 1914 and 1922. The average tax per acre has in- creased from 31.4 to 70.9 cents. Tn par ticular Alabama farm lands pay an average tax of 27 cents compared with one of IA cents in 1914. Good roads and public schools are credited with large proportion of the tax increase, there having been a marked advance all over the nation in the special taxes voted by rural communities for roads and for schools.
 But if the tax on farm lands has risen, their values have also risen. The land values, in fact, have increased far more than the added tax burden has. Since farms have come in contact with marketing cen ters through good roads, and the growing farm girl and boy have been schooled by the farm demonstrators, the farm has de- veloped a business capacity and value only dreamed of a decade ago. The farm is to- day making money on that which gen. eration ago was thrown away. For example, there is scarcely a farm in Alabama today that is not within touch of creamery for cash disposal of it's milk production. The farmer now has some cash the year round. He has more respect for his acres. He

Of course, there will be raw coa

tef UT course, there Will De raw coal X ss fuel for a long time to come, but there will be growing tendency to extract it's increasingly valuable chemical constitu- ents and to use the residium, coke, as fuel, especially as coke represents only slight reduction in the heating vaYue of raw coal. There need be no fear that such procedure would reduce the coal business and its at- tendant profits On the contrary, the more intensive treatment of coal and expansion of the demand for coal by-products would tend to enlarge the profits and to keep the mines busy, as well as stabilizing the mining industry by making the demand more uni form.
 Still another factor couns-is greater development of water, and that is the con- sequent release of a huge volume of crude oil, with it's derivatives, from it's present service as fuel. Our oil supply is running low, and the need for It's conservation monthly grows more pronounced. The ques- tion is not a local, but a national one. It may be that the project in conservation on the part of Pennsylvania will bring with it valuable contribution to the national ad- vancement.

THE PRESIDENTS VACATION

Various public journals, regardless of political complexion, are unanimous in say ing that President Harding has earned his vacation, and many Southern newspapers warmly bid him welcome to the Southland with it's warmer sunshine and mider breezes and it's opportunity for play and recreation. The president has had hard and anxious time of it for several months. It was not the work so much as the worry over bundering congress which impeded his va rious plans to lead the nation constructively. The presidents attitude towards the Ford offer for Muscle Shoals was not declared, but it is probable that he would have wei comed disposition of the suDJect such as would have given the people the benefit of the project at the earliest possible date. The ship subsidy was held in abeyance through both an indolent special session, and an unprofitable regular session. The suggestion that this country should take part in the league court of international jusice, though belated, was entirely prac- ticable, and could easily have been accepted by the senate before it's adjournment. All in all, the president has had little to hearten him in his really sincere desire to better our national situation in several vital re- spects. Mr. Harding has earned vacation. and the people of the South hope that he will return to his duties greatly refreshed.

PINCHOT AS CONSERVATOR

Clifford Pinchot, the conservation gov ernor of Pennsylvania, advocates for his state policy that is really conservative of Penn sylvania's principal product-coal. Gov ernor Pinchot does not content himself with the mere suggestion, but is said to have all ready launched his campaign in behalf ot "a great power system involving a trans mission network covering the whole north eastern section of the United States and the eventual identification of all railroads and industries in that area" From the view point of national economy, water power IS preferable to power derived directly from coal, because our methods of using raw coal as fuel utilzes only a small percentage of either it's heat units or its valuable con- stituents. The by-product coke oven pre- sents the best solution ye giver for the economical utilization of coal to it's full

THE NARCOTIC EVIL

There has been, according to wel-inform- ed sources, an alarming increase in this country in the "dope" habit. Various drugs are supplied the addicts by smuggling, in spite of federal and state authorities, and by dealers and peddlers in defiance of the Harrison drug act Public opinion is over whelmingly against these violations, yet the traffic seems to be flourishing as never before. Much has been said concerning this deplorable condition in the public print, but an item in the recent news from Ell Paso strikes a still more distressing note. One hundred boys in that city are confirmed addicts, says the county probation officer. Girls, too, are among the victims. They are supplied, 1t is reported, by persons intend ing deliberately to create the drug habit. The drugs are smuggled over rom Jaurez, Mexico; the more sales the more profits. Children once started on this route make customers to the end.
 In speaking of this subject, no words are adequate to describe the creatures who thus wreck the hopes and lives of children. Their business is not for words, but for extermi- nation by any means whatsoever. Rein lOTClNK IHe pIODdClOH TcpOII dS IO the prevalence of the drug habit in this border city, Corporation Judge Pollack states that where formerly the addicts in that community were rare, now there appears before him an average of one day, and this does not take into account those cases handled by other authorities. Nor are the drug users found in any one walk of life; they are of the rich as well of the poor, educated and uneducated, it is said. Blame for this condition probably should not fall upon Fl Paso. The good citizens of that city may, in fact be doing all in their power to put an end to it. But with the Rio Grande, in many places almost to be stepped across, the only physical boundary line against access from Mexico, this may well be an impossible task for the resources of any one city. Obviously the case is for the government, and when children are made the victims of this nefarious traffic, it is time for the government to use the full strength of it's strong arm.

Coming Our Way

lDothan Eagle)
 That Dothan has everything com- ing its way is understood. Not only has it done more building during the past two years than any other town in the south according to it's size, but it mas lust begun, It is foregone conclusion that it will soon start work on a 10O-room thoroughly modern hotel, and the Masonic bodies of Dothan, owning one of the most valuable down town pieces of real estate, are planning now to put handsome building on it's lots at the corner of Foster and Troy streets, fronting the govern ment building. It is highly probable that over half a million dollars wifi be spent this year in Dothan fot new buildings, and that will not in clude some of the smaller resi- dences that are to be built, whicl are now under course of construc tion. The city has started work or it's hydroelectric plant at Chalker's bluff, which will cost around ons million dollars, ana which,. whes completed, is to furnish cheap power to all who may use electrical energy Dothan's day is dawning. .Dothan is destined to be the leading city of the southeast part of Alabama and the trade center of fifty miles of prosperous farming territory.

Car Works Making Record
(Gadsden Evening Journap

NNduSoen EVenlng Journal1
 Again the Gadsden car works ia demonstrating it's value as an in- dustry to Gadsden. In the first place, what is probably a worlds record for car building has been set by the local shop. A crew un- der the foremanship of c. H. Bryant built a new box car and applied steel drafts at labor cost of $84.40. With this low labor cost and with other conditions fayora- ble to this industry, it is no wonder that the management is planning to speed up production and to in- crease the force in Gadsden, Sev. eral more crews of expert car builders will be added to the local force, and, beginning Thursday. q nine-hour day will take the place of the present eight-hour schedule. Tn A short time it is expected that the Gadsden car works will be turnin9 out at least one hundred rebuiit cars weekly. and exclusive of the small repairs to cars. This should prove a good argument, not oniv for expansion of the Southern'a ac. tivities at the Gadsden car works. but also it should emphasize to other roads operating in the district the advantage of locating similar in- dustries here.
