INSIDE PAGE OF JOURNALISM
Same Thing Has Been Known to Exist
In Other Cities Besides the
French Capital.

Some years ago there were in Paris
two papers, the Razor and the Scor-
pion. which were always attacking
each other. Every week people bought
the Razor to cad how It cut Mt the
scorpion and then purchased the Scor-
pion to learn how II stung the Razor.
A certain philanthroplst, feeling
panied to see such animosity dis
played, Invited the two editors to dine
In the hope that over a good fare he
could make peace between them. At
the appointed time one lean, melan-
choly man presented himself and was
ushered In. After an interval, as no
other guest appeared, the host de-
manded:
MAY l ask, are you the editor of
the Razor or the S~corplonr"
Both" said the sad-eyed man.

The late William Rockefeller said
In an Interview given not long before
his death:

gained the public's respect, but do you
remember how, 20 years ago. every
rich man was universally conceded

son said so, the muckrakers by the
thousand said so. and accordingly the
public accepted this say-so for the

three proofs that the earth was round.
He replied promptly:

CHANCELLOR CUNO'S long await
~ ed reparations offer was present
ed to the allies and the United States
last week. and though it was promptly
rejected by France as wholly made
quate and impossible, 1t is believed at
this writing that Premier Poincare
will intimate that the proposals may
be, when revised, a basis for renewed
negotiations. That Is as far as the
most optimistic opinion can go.
Germany offers a total OF 30,OO0.-
100000 gold marks (S7. 500.0O0,O0O) as
the utmost limit of her capacity to
pay. and expresses some doubt of her
ability to pay that much, though It
Is n minor fraction of the sum she
agreed to pay under the Versailles
/eaty. She proposes that two-thirds
of this be raised before July 1, 1927,
by a bond issue loated in the inter-
national money market; that 5,000,-
100000 marks more be raised before
July /, 1929, In the same manner,
and the remaining 5.00O.00O.O00
marks similarly before July 1. 1881.
The plan provides that In case the
lhitC AOdh1 III Aul DlouuCt lut TT
quired total, IAN impartial interna-
tional commission must decide. II.
when. and how the balance must be
covered. The same commission will
decide how the interest on these loans,
not provided for. may be raised"
This commission. the note says,
should be "either the consortium which
floats the loan or an international
commission of business men CORE
spending to the proposition made by
Secretary of State Hughes. on which
Germany would be represented with
equal rights. or an arbitration tribunal,
composed of a representative Of the
reparation commission. a representa-
tive OF the German government. and
an arbitrator designated by the Presl-
dent of the United States In the alb
sence OF an agreement on this person
age"
Cuno says Germany is ready to en-
act legislation hat would make her
entire economic system contribute so
as to assure the interest on the loans,
and to make conventions for deliv-
cries In kind. He proposes that secur-
ity as between France and Germany
be assured by an agreement to submit
any future disputes to arbitration or
other concillatory process. suggesting
the Bryan arbitration plan.
Conditions hedging the offer include
the immediate evacuation by France
and Belgium OF occupied territory
whose occupation Is not authorized by
the Versailles treaty. and the restora-
ton of all expelled persons to their
homes and positions.
|THE Cuno proposals are In every
L respect wholly obnoxious to the
French. As to the loans, the French
attitude is expressed thus by a high
rCfhclal: The whole Preparations ques-
tlon is handed over TO n few groups
OF bankers, chiefly German fnnnclers

Of course we know that our medi-

from a combination of natures roots

not to do injustice to either race. The negro can be protected in his rights and the whites in theirs. Segregation does not presuppose crowding the negroes into any one neighbor- hood, but the preservation Of the neighbor- hoods strictly colored and such as may here after be established. Half the states of the union have granted enabling acts per- hitting cities to outline building zones, and several hundred progressive cities have either established the system or are doing so. Birmingham is beginning acuteiy to sense the necessity of some rules that will protect neighborhoods and residence advantages and real estate investments. Nothing so ties citizen to his community as ownership of a home and property. That should be sur rounded with a permanency of values such as is provided for under zoning system.

CHILD WELFARE LEGISLATION

The house will soon consider an amend ment to the federal constitution providing for a uniform child labor law. The desira- bility of statutes protecting children from exploitation in mills and factories is un- questioned. It is a moral issue which can not be conscientiously evaded. The ad- visibility of federal laws governing the mat ter, however, is doubted. The question is one the several states should handle. The fact that so few states have adequately pro- tected their children in this respect, how eyer, gives the advocates of federal legisla- tion strong position. If the states do not desire to surrender their rights in this mat ter, their best course is at once to enact such child labor laws as will completely meet the public responsibility. In this connec- tion Alabama brides herself on having re- cently by the action of the legislature of 1919, passed such laws as give her foremost rank among the states in protecting children against those who would employ them at an age and in occupations where their health and opportunity for education are Jeopar- dized. The best insurance against federal legislation is adequate state legislation.

DEPENDS ON THE NEIGHBoRs

Just as those stockmen who live in tick free areas are urgent that there be measures taken to compel the dipping of cattle in adjoining infected areas, so the commission of Jefferson county, which is committed to dipping, favors measures to compel adjoin- ing counties to obey the dipping laws. No county can live to itself alone in this mat ter of dipping, and it will be well for all to comply with the law while such action
 is voluntary, for the time Is coming when it will be no longer optional. The gov ernor and the attorney general have been asked by the county commission to use the authority of their office to bring into the dipping line those counties that have either abandoned the work or else have not pur- sued it with necessary vigor. The greater portion of Alabama is already tickfree, made so by compliance with the law. Ger ta1nly the will of the minority shall not be allowed to prevail, particularly when that minority is without the law. A return to tick-infested conditions would mean a sac rifice, not only of the sums already spent
 in dipping, but also of those far greater sums that are annually lost through the in fluence of ticks in impeding the production of good cattle. Commonsense and the law are both one the one side in this matter.

DUST EXPLOSIONS

Mankind is slow to adopt safety devices, whether for the protection of human life or property. Not until huge concrete grain elevators were built, which are fire-proof, but not explosion-proof, did the danger of dust explosions begin to attract serious as- tention, and then only because of the con- centration of great quantities of grain which multiplied the risk of an explosion as well as the property loss. Experts have studied this problem and it is announced that ex- plosions will be prevented in the future by eliminating the dust. An apparatus has been perfected which will draw out the dust from grain when it is handled, operated presum- ably on theprinciple of the vacuum cleaner, but so arranged that the solid grains will not be sucked out during the cleaning pro- cess. Since it is estimated that in carload of grain brought to an elevator for storage there are at least two bushels of, light dust which will explode instantaneously, through oxidation, when exposed to the air, and since one elevator hay have capacity of millions of bushels of grain, it is readily seen that methods to insure greater safety are needed.
 The loss of life from grain explosions has been comparatively small, although the prop erty loss in recent years has run far up into the millions. Dust explosions in coal mines, which are caused by the oxidation of fine particles of coal, have taken frightful toll of human life. Some of the worst mine dis asters in the coal fields of Alabama have been due to dust explosions. Apparently, human ingenuity has not yet been able to overcome this menace entirely, for explo- sions continue to occur at frequent inter- vals, in spite of the most modern safety ap- pliances now in use. The problem of grain dust is much simpler. It is remarkable that something was not done long ago to pre- vent wooden elevators from being wrecked by explosions

overcharged through a system of levying tribute in each process of getting the coal to him from digging to delivery. The sum total of the alleged overcharges is out of all proportion to the admitted right of earn ing reasonable profit It is out of such showings as that set up by tAe anthracite miners in this case that the coal commission has the opportunity for that probe into the facts of the mining industry for which 1t was principally organized. Given the facts, rules for regulation of the industry, with fairness to miner, operator and the public, will be made easier
 The coal industry throughout the country has been a confused and confusing opera tion so that it has been well-nigh impossible to reach exact principles of regulation. The coal commissions duty is to drive at these facts until the trouble in the coal mining industry is traced to it's source. There can be no remedy which does not start at the mine. With that as a base the operation of the industry through it's various ramifications until the coal is delivered to the consumer should be traced so that no important detail of fact may escape atten- ton. The nation is sufficiently intelligent to deal with the facts, and that is what the people want for solution of the perplexing problem.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-02-22
MORE FACTS AS TO COAL

The charge that monopoly organization" is making an unjust overcharge of S3.61 3 ton on anthracite coal for domestic con sumption, which has been formally pre- sented to the United States coal commission by presidents of three Pennsylvania union districts and officers of the international union, should be accorded meticulous atten- tion of the commission. The charge is ae- companied by specific data which claim to establish it's truth. The miners assert that an overcharge of $1.26 ton is made on cost of production, one of one dollar in transportation, and one of $1.36 in dstri- button. It is alleged that the consumer is subjected to these three successive over charges. The complaint points out the profits of leading anthracite operators as tending to prove the overcharges.
 Here is presentation of alleged facts, which, if established, show that the donles tic consumer of anthracite coal is being

 THE ZONING SYSTEM

Declaration is made by the advocates of city zoning system that it is the golden rule applied to property values Under its ap- plication no individual is permitted to mar the harmony of a neighborhood Tn the sexer- else of his selfish ends, or to lower other property values by building that which af- lords him a larger present revenue, regard less of the fixed character of the neighbor- hood. In state of orderly society the in vidual right ceases as soon as it comes in conflict with the nights of the majority Both rights stand on an equal plane and are entitled to the same consideration at the hands of the community. There pust be a way of preserving each.
 There seems no way to avoid the zoning system, if neighborhood investments are to be permanently protected. This law should apply to factory and commercial sections as well as to residence neighborhoods. He who makes real estate investment should know that his investment values are not to be at whim of his neighbor. As for segre- .gation of the races under zoning law 1t Is pointed out that this may be so arranged as

NEBRASKA CHIDEs NORRIS

Senator Norris of Nebraska has been pe- ttioned by the legislature of his state to give his support to the Ford offer for Mus cle Shoals. There has for some time been suspicion that the senator has not repre- sented public sentiment in his state. The people of Nebraska have water power sites that they would like to see esdaveloped. They believe that the development at Eiuscle Shoals would be precedent which would en- courage similar undertakings in their own state. The sentiment that Nebraska has put into words is the sentiment prevailing in many other states whose spokesmen in congress are taking the opposite view. Per haps it would be a good thing for the peo pie of other states to call their congressman and senators back to sanity by a precau- tionary word or two. Norris, it appears, will not be influenced by legislative opin- ion. However, the people still have the bal
 lot,
