NEWS FROM WASHINCT
BY j. E. Jones

Der 4 Because OF the interest that
centcrs in the presidential election
very little attention is being given
to the complexion OF the new con-
gress. And yet neither Coolidge nor
Davis can possibly hope, in case of
the election of either, to carry out
the policies OF his party unless there
is an absolute elimination OF the So
called Progressives. who now hold the
balance OF power in both legislative
bodies of congress. And in case the
Independent Progressive ticket should
be elected it is not likely that it will
even have plurality in either house
Of congress.
There has been a good deal OF spe-
culation about the possibility OF the
choice OF the president being thrown
into the House OF Representatives,
because of the fact that a president
and a vice president elected in the
regular way must have majority OF
the votes OF the electoral college. A
plurality will not suffice. Even
though there is manner prescribed
for establishing a representative of a
political party in the White House,
there can be no changing OF The re-
suits by which a congress is chosen.
With three belligerent party organiza
tons dividing the power OF congress
il is going to be impossible for the

Industries Moving West

The nations economic life is chang
ing. as is shown by the fact that the
Atlantic coast as a producing sec
ton. now rates at 81 per cent; the
Mississippi Valley at II per cent; and
the Pacific coast and Mountain States
at 7 per cent The Mississippi Valley
produced only nineteen per cent of
the country's needs in 1850. Steam
and electricity have revoluntionized
the transportation facilities of the
country and in consequence there has
been a great gain in the development
OF factories close to the source of
raw products. While electricity has
built the large cities it has at the
same time shown the factories the
way out into the country. 1t is
pointed out that whereas most OF the
big magazines were printed in New
York City ten years ago that these
big printing plants are now being To-
Gated in the smaller places. The same

Mellon Stimulates Tax Interest

Ii was announced upon the return
OF Secretary Mellon that he would
renew his attempts at the coming
session OF congress 10 secure tax
legislation more to his liking thar
the present law. Secretary Mellon
will make another attack upon tax.
exempt securities and he will also
renew his opposition to the publicity
features OF the law passed by the
present congress. No matter whether
one agrees with Mr.. Mellon or not
il must be admitted that he stimulates
interest in the rather dry subject OF
taxation. The National Tax League
gathering at St Louis and the sen
ate investigating committee that has
tax measurcrs under scrutiny, have
been advised in advance that Mr.
Mellon. as usual, wants to have his
own way. The senate committee has
employed statisticians and lawyers
who are engaged in gathering de-
finite information from material in
the treasury department as to what
part OF the public cvades taxes. and
they expect to find out definitely what
part OF this evasion is represented by
undivided profits of corporations and
what percentage is represented BY
holdings OF tax-exempt securities.
Many people have apparently run
away with the idea that tax-exemp-
ton and tax-evasion are synomous
terms; but that this is an erroneous
idea is indicated by facts that have
been uncovered within the last six
months tending to show that the great
bulk OF tax-evasion is perpetrated
through the means OF undivided
profits. and that compared with these
undivided profits the matter OF tax
exempt securities is OF very little con
sequence. There is a growing convic-
ton that there has been gross ex-
aggeration OF the importance of the
so-cailed tax-exemption, and some OF
the senators on the investigating COM
mittee have already stated that they
believe this to be a fact. During the I
present political upheaval and pend
ing the forthcoming report upon the
subject when congress meets, there
is a disposition on the part OF state
and local officials throughout the
country to reserve judgment until
material like that sought by the SEN
ate committee is collected and made
public

HUNDREDS VISIT
 WANT AID CORNER.
Box Of Candy Goes With Each Ad Brought In Again
 Tomorrow

For the past three Saturdays the want ad department of The Age-Herald has given half pound box of select Martha Washington candy, consisting of assorted fruits, nuts and creams. ab- solutely free with each paid want ad brought to the want ad department to be inserted in The Sunday Age Herald. Hundreds of boxes have been given away to old and young in Birmingham and nearly every section, of Jefferson county. People have come from far and near to secure a free box of this delicious candy.
 This offer has been so free from red tape and so generous that it has won instant favor in every section and among all classes. No lines have been drawn and no questions are asked, and the size of the ads is absolutely imma- terial. With every ad inserted in The Sunday Age-Herald box of candy is given free.
 So great has been the response to this offer that the want ad department has decided to continue it tomorrow. Martha Washington candy is so well and favorably known for its quality and purity that no comment is neces- sary. So if you have room for rent, a book, a bicycle or a bundle of old clothes for sale; gun you would like to swap for some fishing tackle; or if you would like to buy home, car or a setting of eggs, write your wants into an ad and bring it to The Age-Herald in person Saturday and get your box of candy.
 You will find the want ad depart ment so conveniently located in the very heart of the city that it will not be the least bit out of the way to come in person to The Age-Herald building. Look for the sign "Want Ads" at the main entrance, corner Second avenue and Twenty-first street, and turn in the first office to the right-you have no steps to climb and no long walks. There will be candy for everyone, but only one box to each person. i

NEW PROCESS IN

Claimed By Scientists To Be
 Great Forward Step

The new catalysis Tor bringing about the union of hydrogen and nitrogen, claimed by scientists to be the greatest chemical achievement of the century, the discovery of which has just been an nounced by Dr. F. G. Cottrell, director of the Fixed Nitrogen Research laboratory, at Washington, will be used by the southern associates in the manufacture of f ertilizers at Muscle Shoals in the event their offer for the lease of the government s nitrate and power plants there is ac- cepted by congress, according to an an- nouncement made Thursday by E. A. Yates, vice-president and general man. ager of the Alabama Power compony on behalf of his company and it's as- sociates.
 ''We have arranged with Dr. Cottrell, Dr. Larson, and their associates, wht are the discoveries of and owners of the patents for the new catalysis, for the use of their process" Mir. Yates statement read. I've have been coop erating with them in their research work for some months and when their developments reached the state where they positively knew not only the cost of production, but the cost of build ing plants, we entered into an agree ment with them, permitting the use of the new catalysis at Muscle Shoals in the production of ammonia by the direct synthetic ammonia process. This is the process for which the new plant we contemplate will be constructed.

 Although several short talks will be made by friends of the school, no for. mal program will be rendered and tte guests are invited to the shower in order that they might make an ,inspec. tion of the school library and the new building which is said to be one of the best equipped of its kind in the south.
 Many. donations to the library have been received from friends who find it impossible to be present this evening, each guest being expected to contribute to the upbuilding of the library which is growing rapidly since its rosaniza- tion last year. Several hundred dollars worth of equipment have been added during the past few weeks and yet greater improvement is expected in that department of the school,
