nation against agricultural products
it raised the wages of railroad en-
ployees with the result that wages
generally, including wages paid by
farmers. were forced up-and have
remained up, and then when the war
was over the Federal Reserve Board
staged a campaign of dehation that
resulted in debating only the prices
of manufactured articles, railroad
rates or wages
Because the government has been
directly responsible for the low prices
of farm products. particularly wheat,
Senator Gooding told the President
that Congress. in all fairness, should
now stabilize the price of wheat. and
maintain that price for two or three
years until the industry can once more
get on its feet. Generally speaking.
he does not favor government price
fixing. but under the peculiar circum-
stances thinks the sterilization of
wheat prices is now fully justified
Senator Gooding furthermore talked
with the President about the disas-
trous effect of prevailing high freight
rates on the farmers of Idaho. and
made plain his conviction that until
freight rates come down. agriculture
cannot again thrive as it should in
Idaho and other Western States. Hell
declared his purpose to fight for
freight rate reduction this session.

if needs be, without subjecting them to unnecessary cruelty and hardship. Georgia and other states use many convicts in road building. Some states set them to work in factories under state supervision, on farms and in various ways which have proven eco- homie and practical The outdoor life in road work would seem to be one humane and business-like solution of the problem. Certainly it is worth careful consideration, especially in a state which is suffering great ircor- venience and losses from lack of roads that are worthy of the name.
 It might be well worth while to make still further study of the sub ject of employing Alabama's convicts on pressingly needed public work where they can benefit from light, fresh air and the improving elements and influences of outdoor life. and be handled under conditions that tend to their physical and moral improvement, rather than to their degradation, need less suffering under such treatment as makes brutes of men.

MORE NosTRUMs FOR WHEAT

It is reported that President Cool idge has in mind two means of help ing the wheat farmer. He would in- crease the tariff on wheat, and he would lower rail rates on wheat and flour. Both these measures indicate that the president is either misled by his advisers or that he does not un- derstand the principles of economics. The tariff has already proved such failure as to be a joke, since it has not helped the wheat farmer one iota, but has enabled the manufacturers of flour and wheat derivatives to put the price at level entirely unwarranted by the cost of the raw mate rial. The fact that this is an ex- porting and not an importing nation as regards wheat should alone pro- tect the wheat producer, even without any tariff at all. The reason for the low price of wheat is the lack of a foreign market sufficient to absorb our surplus.
 While there is well-defined opinion that rail rates are too high, there is certainly no sanity in the theory that the money must be taken away from the railroads to give to the farmers. The corollary to that would be to advocate an increase in rail rates when the price of wheat. goes up. Surely the absurdity of that proposi- ton does not lie so far below the surface as not to be easily seen. If rail rates are to be reduced, it must be on the basis of the public benefit to be derived from that process. The wheat farmer is doubtless himself not deceived as to the cause of his situa. ton. If the president really wants to extend permanent and solid help t1 the farmer, let him consider some means of reaching foreign markets with the farmers product.

A cREDITABLE TAX SHOWING

Jefferson county offers a notable example of the functioning of the states tax machinery created by the preceding state administration when it is shown that during a period of four years the assessed valuations of the county were increased from $780, 100000 to $241, 100000. That equit- l.ble assessment does not work hard ship and meets the approval of fair- minded men is shown by the fact that the Birmingham Real Estate Board, by formal resolution, has expressed its appreciation of the fairness with which the board of adjusters for the county has conducted it's work during the past four years.
 The members of the board who re- tired from office October l took the position that no really fair assessment of property for taxation could be made without personal survey ami the application of their knowledge of realty values to the work fin hand. They call attention to the fact tha; upon certain sites which had been as- sessed as vacant lots they found apart ment houses when they made personal inspection. This is one of the condi- tions that must be met in making up the tax records, and 1t is one of the important evils which brought abo1t the original creation of the boards of adjusters of the state.

gineers had regarded so important in the work they planned.
 It is, therefore, not only natural that there sEould be light turned upon the transaction, but it would seem to be the duty of congress to go into the governments handling of the entire situation. Since it seems to have been handled almost entirely by the secre- tary of war, it is inevitable that he must bear the greater part of the criticism and the political penalties that may grow out of it, though the summary treatment of MT. Ford will doubtless react to the disadvantage o! the party in power.
 No word has yet come from MT. Ford as to his plans, but there are stiA strong influences in congress which want to see him given opportunity at Muscle Shoals, and these influences are sustained and supported by strong nationwide sentiment. The Republicans still face the alternative of doing justice by MT. Ford and Mus cle Shoals or of facing the polite Il consequences. For many of the mem bers of congress in districts where the farmer vote is 8 decisive factor the latter alternative may easily prove disastrous.

JOHN-A-DREAMS
Dreams of Many Drawer,

All of you have seen the quaint old pieces of furniture called high boys" later. they were named "chests or drawers" and they are the ancestors of our pres ent-day chifferobes, dressers and chiffonieres.
 In dreams these stately treas ures of our forefathers have a pe- culiar significance. They indicate hidden things" they tell you that many matters are existing and de- veloping all about you of which you have no knowledge, that even your own interests are vitally con cerned in the secrets of those who. seemingly frank, are yet conceal ing most important facts from you.
 While this dream has the same meaning for all to whom it ap- pears, its most far-reaching tale fs told to young married woman who has not yet had the chance to penetrate into the depth of her husbands soul, into all the re- cesses of his memories of the past, and whose relatives are still com- parative strangers to the young bride. %g
 Don't think for q moment that in all, or even most, cases unpleas- ant discoveries are awaiting her: These many drawers. and key
 holes, seem to mock mes Will what they hold make glad
 or sad, or shock me?"
 She who has this vision may well ask this question. When she does find out what they contain she may be doubly happy; or, just as likely, she may not be at all interested; yet, there Is a possi- bilty that. as soon as she found out what those about her know, she will be painfully, disillusioned and some of her fondest hopes and wishes may lie in shreds about her feet.
 The dream does not particularly urge her who has 1t to go prying into the affairs of her husband and his relations. It merely calls her attention to the fact that she Is still stranger among them SC far as mutual interests are con cerned-and 1t is left to her to strive for these discoveries or to put their existence out of her mind as matters that, after all, concern her but little.

FITNESS ALONE THE KEYNOTE

By deferring the election of a park board for further consideration the city commission indicated through this action that careful thought would be given the subject. The more care and study given by the commission to this important matter, the better for the community. Far-reaching responsI- bility and obligation are involved in the consideration and decision. There are a number of people who desire to serve on the board, and others who have friends and favorites to urge. But the question is whether Birming- ham is to have system of parks and playgrounds which will meet the needs of a great and rapidly growing city and which shall be administered with the single purpose of the public wei- fare within the available means.
 If that idea is kept uppermost ir the minds of the commissioners in their consideration of the four ap- pointments, Birmingham will have q park system that will contribute large ly to the progress and happiness of the community. Sincere cooperation of the people is necessary to make this enterprise a success. Without that CO operation failure of the project is cer- tain. The commission in choosing four members of the board, might we'll bear in mind that there is little prospect of get ng the needful cooperation uu- less the community confidence is ob-' tained through the ability, character and public spirit of the board itself.
 For this reason, among others, the utmost care and earnestness of pur- pose by the appointiye power should be exercised in their choice of those who will administer this sacred trust. Every semblance of political consider ation, private interest and personal popularity should be discarded, and the purpose of selecting members of the board whose fitness, proved ability and character will command the con fidence and enlist the cooperation of the community, should be kept upper most in the mind of each commls- sioner.
