epidemics in the city and county would cost more than all the dairies com bined, not to speak of the anxiety and personal suffering. Just such epi- denies would be more than likely to occur if enforcement of regulations applicable to the dairy industry were abandoned or seriously impaired,
 These facts are recognized by repu- table dairymen. They realize that 1t would be unthinkable to subject the public to the dangers of carelessly handled and disease-breeding products. The public pays for and demands clean and safe milk; the public must and will have it. Any opposition to such a demand is unworthy of con sideration. Any danger to the public health which can be avoided must be removed regardless of the selfish financial benefits to any individual or interest, The more careful and thor ough the inspection and regulation of dairy products or anything else in- volying the public health and safety, the better pleased will be those who pay taxes for that purpose.

TAX EXEMPTION uNsouNp

Tax exemptions have failed as major incentive to industry, Indus- tries expect to pay their legitimate share of public expenses. The theory and purpose of taxation is equalization of the public burdens for the public welfare. This cannot be obtained so long as a tax exemption policy Is pur- sued. Such a policy inevitably results in a constantly increasing number of tax-dodgers of high and low degree seeking protection against discrimina- ton. It is matter of self-preserva- tion on the part of many. When an individual or interest bears a fair part of the public burdens, while another specially favored is relieved of this re- sponsibility, tax-dodging is often re- sorted to for self-defense, or else sense of unfairness is manifested and the public welfare suffers. This falla- cious theory has been abandoned by most progressive states. North Caro- lima, one of the most prosperous states in the country, to which some journals are fond of referring as a model for Alabama, has had no tax exemptions since 1862.
 A bill before the legislature to re- turn to tax-exemption policy as re- spects water power and other indus tries is unsound and deserves to be indefinitely postponed. So far as con- cerns the Alabama Power Company, it's status was settled under the valua- tion fixed by the present Public Ser vice Commission, and should remain settled accordingly. To grant the company exemption after its taxes have already been included in it's val uation is to give it double exemption, which is certainly indefensible. There is no reason why this matter should be re-opened, or why this or any other industry should be permitted to shirk it's fair proportion of the public bur dens. There will be no tax equaliza- tion in Alabama, keenly as it is needed, if tax exemptions are established as encouragement and development of tax lodging. The two are as closely related as cause and effect.

ESSENTIAL TO HEALTH

Dairy inspection as maintained by the city and county health depart ments is not only entirely proper, but is absolutely essential to the public health and the public welfare. When ever they are involved, there can be but one contention. There are two hundred thousand people in Birming- ham and equally as many in Jeffer- son county who use dairy products for sustenance and life. If these pro ducts were not properly inspected un- der law and kept reasonably free from disease-bearing germs, Birmingham and Jefferson county would be so full of typhoid and other maladies origi- mating from insanitary milk that even those who would sell impure milk, cream, butter and the like, would soon learn that from cold-blooded financial standpoint such a business is not profitable.
 The point is that the people of Bir- rningham and Jefferson county pay taxes for protection by their local governments. No department of these governments can provide more essen tial safeguards to life than can the department of health A few serious

A BROADER REFERENDUM

The approval. of thinking people of Birmingham will follow the broaden ing of. the referendum on city govern ment to cover all municipal forms. The house measure provides for only three forms, commission, mayor-alder- man, and council-manager. The meas ure approved by the senate properly makes no such limitations. It is hoped that the sponsors of the house meas ure will see the fairness of the broader measure and accept it. The council manager form not only is not prop erly a city-manager form, but it indeed is contrary to the very spirit of the city-manager form and nullifies the very features sought by it.
 The council-manager plan, involving the election of members by wards, in- jects politics. into the situation, whereas the successful form of the city-manager plan calls for commis- sion of three or five men elected at large and with no ostensible obliga- tion to any political unit, but rather with the responsibility of representing the welfare of the municipality as whole. Under the real city-manager plan, the manager is given a very free rein in the administration of the city's business and undertakings. The com mission has it's fupction duly outlined, but it may not thwart or impede the manager. It may remove him, if it turns out that he is acting contrary to the public interest. The smaller leg islative body is more efficient than the large one, and is more readily held accountable for it's stewardship. If it elects as city-manager a man who is qualified for the position, it has per- formed it's supreme public service. The beauty of the plan is that it works wherever it has been sincerely and honestly tried out.

But there is one com mentable difference between him and me. He is Magnus Johnson to a large circle of admiring followers. I am Johnson Magnus to a small (though no doubt select) circle of following ad- mirers. Egotism is germ from which success springs forth full-blossomed, like Minerva from the head of love. I am minded of what the coach said to us after our first football game, It had been the end of perfect day for the opposing school. Sorrowingly the coach looked at us and said, Were a long way from glory, but we'll keep on going" I still am.-Pharisee II.

MOTHERS OF FAMOUS
 MEN
The Mother of Alexander Hamilton


 The story of the mother of AL exander Hamilton is like the story of a novel. Indeed. it is strange that some novelist has not woven it into a romantic story. Rachel Fawcett was born both rich and beautiful. Her father, a doctor, had accumulated such a fortune that he could afford town house and a country house. The daugh- ter was charming in all ways. She had light hair, a remarkably fair complexion, bright, laughing eyes, a finely chiseled face, and figure that was grace itself. She sat by the window that looked out on the palms of her tropical island .n the West Indies and there played softly on her guitar or else on the harp-for she was mistress of both instruments. She often sang while she played, for she was an accomplished singer. She painted beautiful pictures of natural seen cry. In fact, she was the very picture of the typical "beautlful heiress."
 Rachel" said her mother, ''you are sixteen. It's high time that you should be married. There is John Levine. He will be your husband" The mother was de- signing, for John Levine was a rich Dane, and the mother wished her daughter to marry wealth and social position. Rachel yielded. married the rich Dane, and off they went on a honeymoon tour to Europe, with mama going along. tool They were presented at court-and then something hap pened! The daughter fled from sher rich husband and went back to the West Indies.
 hat husband she never saw again. After some time along came James Hamilton, Scotch, 21, handsome, the beau ideal of a lover. He lived on an island two miles away from her island, but love ferried him over a hundred times. They united, and the child of that love union was the great Alexander Hamilton, the great American statesman and patriot. His mother mother sold all her es- tates to provide money for her husband, but rash investments left them poor. She died when romance of her career was more than equalled ythe romance of the career of Alexander Hamilton, perhaps the wisest of all the founders of the nited States.

AN IMPORTANT BILL DELAYED

Presumably that a number of amendments may be offered, the so- called loan shark bill has been post poned for future consideration. The measure has been vigorously opposed by money lenders, through personal efforts and those of their agents, while comparatively little support has been given it by representatives of those whom the law would protect. This is because the latter are widely scat tered and are not organized for con- certed action. While some minor amendments to the measure might not be inadvisable, it's principle is sound and its purpose commendable.
 Thousands of small borrowers, mostly such wage earners as know little about financing or the interest value of money, are victims of imposition through usury. In many cases they have paid from ten to forty per cent. a month on loans, and have been sub jected to gross injustice through trick cry and otherwise. These people are entitled to protection not only directly. but indirectly, through statute pro- hibiting usury and at the same time helping them to become more thrifty and able to meet their financial ob- legations. Thus such a law would serve two good purposes, and would prove a great benefit to those who need protection from the various forms of imposition practiced against the small borrower in emergencies.
 Observant men of character and ex- perience in the employment and hand ling of labor have explained to the senate committee on banking and in- surance the benefits of the loan shark measure. The conditions, maximum rate of interest proposed and other safeguarding features are reasonable. The bill, if enacted, would work no hardship on those engaged in the busi- ness of making small loans to wage earners. It should become law be- cause of it's material as well as it's moral rights.

 Senator Oscar Underwood as d candidate for nomination at the next Democratic onvention may find himself considerably handi- capped for the want of men from Alabama who understand national politis we'll enongh to protect his interests, and how to proceed to further his prospects. The editor of the Opellka News has this to say on the subject and the truth of 1t setnds out as the furnace glow of night: "We are for Sena- tor Underwood, but his nomination cannot be assured by commenda- tory resolutions passed by county boards of revenue and dinner clubs in Alabama. It is time to get busy. perfect an organization and start work, work outside the boundary lines of Alabama"

PASS THE VIADUCT BILL

The railroads allege considerations of expense against the pending meas ure giving the city of Birmingham au- thority to compel the railroads to construct viaducts at dangerous cross ings. Disregarding for the moment the most important element, that of the public safety, the legislature is asked to set against the prospective cost to the railroads the almost incal- culable present cost to the people and business of Birmingham arising out of the delays and hindfances to traffic caused by the grade crossings. The question for the legislature to consider is the major public interest rather than the relatively minor interest of the railroads. This is a serious situation which daily is growing more serious. The streets of this city are becoming dangerously congested, and this con gestion is greatly aggravated by the delays and blockades at grade cross ings, which have their effect even on the traffic at distant street corners, as the blockades of motor vehicles are released in platoons to converge again and again at downtown functions.
 The principle on which this city asks legislative relief has been upheld by the supreme court of the United States, which has decided that human safety takes precedence over questions of utility expenditures, and which holds that the railroad owes this as public obligation to the political unit concerned. Indeed, the legislature might we'll so amend the bill as to make it apply to all dangerous grade crossings anywhere in the state, whether in a city or on a main-trav- eled highway. Birmingham is asking for no more than resumption of that right which is assumed unless barred by legislative act, such as that mis- taken one of 1911. What legislature has done unwisely legislature should undo.

Objects To Editorial

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In your issue of this date ap- pears an editorial addressed to the legislature. The surprising fea- ture of your editorial. so foreign to your usual fair and impartial statements, is that it is made up almost wholly of misstatements I know you desire to be fair, but no doubt you have been imposed on by some interruptions person. I will add right here, before dis cusslng your editorial in detail, that the true and correct facts as to the operations of the state high way department have always been and are now available to you or any other individual in the state. will not attempt to defend or con- demn any bill that Is now pending in the legislature.
 You state that more than nine teen million dollars of the peoples money has already been spent or appropriated to the building of state roads; this Is absolutely un- true. Recently we published a statement showing that the federal government has apportioned to Alabama since the passage of the federal aid act seven years ago, S9,l0,9l0.64. and that like amount of state or county funds to match gives the total of $19, 1,S21.28. You are familiar with the fact that bonds were voted in January, 1922, and that federal aid was available to Alabama and other states in 1916. You are further familiar with the fact the state at that time had no funds with which to match federal funds, and that the counties were appealed to to ap- propriate the money for this pur- pose and continued to aid the state in this way until state bonds were sold. Of the first two years fed eral money allotted to Alabama. Jefferson county secured through the good graces of the state high way department S4s6,s24,9e, and the roads constructed herewith stand out distinctly to the credit of the engineers of this depart ment.
 Up until the sale of the first three million dollars worth of state bonds, the commission (the present commission and its prede- cessor) spent from all sources, county, state and government, $613,772.13. and constructed s4.Ss miles of road and bridges, with 169 miles under construction. Six million dollars worth of bonds have been sold to date. whica. will carry the department through this year and until May or June. 1924 Of the six million sold, s4.5es,- 76s.7s have been spent for which the state has gotten 426.o6 miles finished, with 699.81 miles under construction. Tn addition to this,
