ing 1928, stocks of condensed milk
and other products, more than equiv
aIcnt to these cimports, were piled up
within the country. Judging from the
numbers OF cows on farms, there will
be ca further increase in domestic
production in 1924. Foreign surplus
production is likewise steadily increas-
ing. This competition, coupled with
the already heavy production in this
country. and the possibility that con-
sumer demand may not be indefinitely
maintained at levels predicted upon
great industrial prosperity, suggest
the necessity for conservatism as to
further expansion in dairy production.

2,OO0,ODO TOTAL MARCH BUILDING,
 INSPECTOR SAYS
Home Building Predomi. { mates, But Activity Keen
 In All, Lines N

\ Nothing. short of a flood or tornado can keep Birmingham's building record for March from reaching the $2,0 ,000, 900 mark, in the opinion of City Building Inspector J., E. Spencer and his entire staff.
 The first week started, off. like a house-a fire, with residence construc- tions taking the lead, as usual. More than 50 home permits were issued and plans for erection of many others were approved.
 What are the chief characteristic of construction in Birmingham? This question is asked real estate men by hundreds of visitors weekly.
 A study of Inspector Spencers rec ords show that, at present, Birming- ham is deyoting most attention to:
 Erection of new homes.
 !, Erection of new churches and school buildings.
 Widespread Improvements and ex- rpansions in it's great industrial plants.
 Improvements and additions to downtown store buildings to take care of rapidly improving business.
 If the present building pace is main tained-and Inspector Spencer believes it will be, the year 1924 will close with d, construction total of approximately $2O,0O0,OO0. When it is considered that the present high mark is $12,O00,- GOO, the magnitude of present building operations in the city can be grasped.
 You'd be surprised" says .Inspec- tor Spencer, ''to know how many young couples are saving their money to build a home before the end of this year."

DANIELS POLICY CITED BY DENBY
 IN OVN'DEFENSE
Says D0heny Lease Pro duced Larger Net
 Royalty Gain {

,. wASHINGToNs March S.ySecre' |tary Denby. who retires Monday from the cabinet, again defended his party in the leasing of naval oil reserves in a long communication sent today tc Chairman Butler of the House naval committee.
 Twenty-three questions touching on the leasing situation from various an |gles, contained in a resolution by Rep. resentative Britten,, of Illinois, a re. publican member of the committee were answered by the secretary.
 Part of Mir. Denby's reply was de voted to the policy of former Secretary Daniels with regard to the naval re serves.
 Under date of August 21,s 1920,' said the letter, sthe then secretary oi the, navy informed the then secretary of the interior that the lease to the Bos ton-P Pacific Oil company, covering the drilling of five new wells on section g of! naval petroleum, reserve No. 2 was satisfactory to the department. The royalties aecruing to the government un. der this lease was % per cent. Under the so-called Dohney lease of Decem. Der P, 1923, the royalty runs from IF per cent to S5 per cent and the actual net royalty received has amounted to 27.14 per cent.
 Under date of January, 1921, the then secretary of the navy (Secretary Daniels) indicated to the then secretary of the interior his willingness to lease '120 acres in the eastern part of sec. tion 2S3of naval oil reserve No. 2 to the Consolidated Mutual Oil company and this land. was leased without re striction to the number of wells that might be drilled. The government roy. alty provided under this lease was from 12h per cent to 25 per cent r
 Proposals from three companies were entertained for leasing Teapot Dome, the secretary said, and five companies were asked to bid on royalty oil from the California oil reserves. He declared the government received oyer $3,000,. 600 premium on it's royalty oil from the Salt Creek, Wyo, district in 1923 as result of competition prompted by the leasing of Teapot Dome, while the navy received last year Al cents more a barrel for it's royalty oil than the selling price of all other producers in that district.

SOUTHERN SHOP
 PLANS PREP AIRED
Activity At Acipco Amaze
 Kendrick-Large Force --5 At Work x

Activity at Acipco, where the Southern railway is to spend millions in establishing new shops, increased rapidly during the past week, according to Claude Kendrick, assistant city building inspector. .~
 Engineers of the railroad already have. submitted two sets of plans to the inspectors office in connection with the first buildings to be erected = a wood making shop and a big oil house. These units will cost in the neighbor- hood of $115,000 and work will be un- der way in few days.
 Kendrick made a trip to Acipco to see what was going on, and here are some of the things he saw:
 Much Activity "A large field staff is on the job. Engineers and surveyors are laying off the land and considerable building equipment is arriving. The activity re- minds one considerably of the war days when workmen started construction of Ia great army cantonment."
 Officials of the Southern system are keeping in close touch with the, building inspectors department. Before the end of March they will have taken out per mits for more than $1 100000, repre- senting the first major units in the building program, according to Ken drick. ts
 As the. construction work gains in volume, jobs will be opened up for hun dreds of workers, and it is understood that the railroad desires to engage the services of as many Birmingham and Alabama people as possible. The pay will be good.
 In the opinion of Kendrick. the great volume of construction that now is un- der way in Birmingham or scheduled to get under way quickly, should eom= pletely solve the city's- employment problem.
 ''The way, that permits are coming in is a caution" he said. Each prof ect calls for large numbers of work men, and it looks to me that there is work enough going on around the city to take care of every person who wants to work.''i ~@e-

 READY: TO OPEN
Active Work For Howard School Funds To Get Under Way
 Within Week
(ENsLEY BUREAU)

N. H. Mcdowell was appointed chair man of the campaign committee to sdi- rect the $25, 5,O00 drive for the Howard High school The appointment was announced Saturday morning.
 Associate committeeman include Hardeman S. Meade, John A. Smith, J. Hoke Perkins, Charles J. Mcdonald of Fairfield, Mrs. Harry Hillhouse of Fairfield, Mrs. Louis Mckenzie. Mrs. Joseph Humphries, Mrs. J. J. Nickle, William M. Capps of Wylam and Mir. Sharpe of Central Park.
 The campaign Is expected to be in full swing within the forthcoming week and it is the hope of the committee to complete the work within Il short time thereafter. The entire west of Fairview is expected to participate in the fund, which will be given to the school as a community gift. This sum added to the properties of the Baptist church. is the inducement given by this community for the establishment of the school ii, this district.
 It was stated Saturday that the prop critics of the Ensley Baptist church would be given over to the Howard authorities during the summer so that the school could begin operations by September 10. It is planned to remodel the two buildings of the Baptist con. gregation, converting them into class rooms and to construct another build- ing to be used for school work.
 James Dupuy, general chairman of the campaign stated he had received several encouraging letters regarding the school and that most of the women's clubs of this section hayes indorsed the proprosition. This added to the civic clubs approval gives the solicitors opportunity to sell the, campaign idea without the usual difficulties of ex. plaining, which often accompanies solicitors in work of this character.

PARRISH, Ala., March S.-=(Spe- cial. IA large delegation of Parrish citizens went before the Alabama pub lie service commission at Jasper on Thursday to present the claim of Par rish to a new passenger depot at this place. The Southern and Northern Ala. bama railways were cited some time ago to show why they should not pro- vide better station facilities here. Mayor Guttery, who headed the delega- tion, reported that counsel for the roads stated that their clients have insufficient funds to build the desired depot at this time, although admitting the need of a larger building.
 Schools Being Improved.-A mum Der of improvements in the public school system here is contemplated for the near future. Among other things, $10,00O will be spent in an addition to the high school building. The pegroe. of this place are building an up-to-dats school house north of Parrish.

LONDON MAY PUT

Traffic Problem Arises Because
 Of Advent Of Auto

LONDON, March 3.By the Asso- ciated tPress)- The struggling cabbies, survivors of the 1egions of picturesque characters who sat on the hiGh boxes of hanson cabs that carried the beauty and chiyalry of Victorian London, are in danger of being crcwed off the street even before time gently tucks the last of them away in ths grave. The London County council is con, sidering issuing q warning that in five years no horses will be allowed on the streets because they serve to slow up the faster motor traffic and are com mon source of street congestion.
 Only farmers with their produce would be- permitted to drive horses through the congested {. districts and this during the early hour before t',a heavy traffic started. <
 There is much more horse-drawn traffic in London than in New York but to fofeigner here it seems that old Dobbin is not sos much to blame for the turtle crawl of traffic as are the heavy steam wagons which are all lowed to go on any street at any time. These. road locomotives which are like threshing machine engines, belch black smoke all over the pedestrians and the landscape in general, contributing materially t0 the atmosphere that is iondon's. aS .

Another Warm Session o
 Board Expected Monday x~ At Montgomery
(sTATE CAPITAL BUREAU

l tSIA1E CAtIIAL BUREAU
 MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 8. - The state highway commission is ex- pected to hear from the public again when the commission reconvenes Mon day at it's offices here, and another l warm session of the body is expected. It is regarded as probable that further protests will be presented on what ap- pears to be the policy of the commis- 1 sion to build local roads off the [ per cent federal aid system, for the benefit of favored communities. The detour- I ing of the connection between Greene and Sumter counties to go via Gaines ville, the home of Chairman John Rog- CTS; the similar detour proposed for the Birmingham-Mobile highway in or der to go via Selma, and also past Felix, Commissioner Suttle's home town, and the circuitous routing of the north-and-south highway in Hale coun- ty, are expected to furnish material for further fireworks before the highway body.
 Letters published in the press since the commission last met indicate that the citizens of Alabama are becoming aroused to the need of vigorously pro- testing against a policy of ..the longest way round is the nearest way home" which disregards not only the plan of matching state bond-issue money dollar for dollar with federal aid, but ignores also the federal aid system uf trunk line highways, where certain communities and localities can be favored by so do- ing. It appears that the citizens of Alabama want what the original bond issue amendment provides, a system of trunk roads connecting county seats by
 the most direct and feasible route, and not devious roundabout highway sys- tenn which regards directness. One contract is expected to be let at
 the meeting which begins Monday, this
 being for stretch of some five miles of road in Lawrence county, on the 1 route between Moulton and Decatur, on 1 which hids have already heen nnened

ONLY TW0-T THIRDS
 ENOUGH HAY AND. MEAT PRODUCED ]
Farmers Have To Buy30 Per Cent Of. Needs
 Elsewhere
lsrATE cArETAL nUHEAUJ

r .I .- I MONTGOMERY, Ala, March s. In statement furnished today upon request to Jesse B. Hearth, manager Iof lthe farm section of the Montgomery Chamber of Commerce, F. W. Gist, agri- cultural statistician, stated that farm production of grain, hay and meat in Alabama lacks 30 per cent of supply ing the needs of the entire state.
 Following is Mir. Gists' statement: :: Referring to your recent personal request for information concerning the production and consumption of grain, hay, and meat in Alabama. =
 It happens that I have just com pleted study of the farm needs and production of these commodities, in which calculated the grain needs at E bushels per capita for bread, 60 bushels for horses and mules. 20 bushels for milk cows, 10 bushels for other cattle and four bushels for hogs; hay at Is tons for horses and mules, 1.5 tons for milk cows, and 10 ton for other cattle, and meat at 150 pounds per capita. The production of grain of all classes were reduced to the. equiva- lent of corn, hay was supplemented by the. known production of fodder and roughage and meat was taken at the estimated amount produced on farms.
 ''6nf this basis, then, the following statement may be made:
 Grain Needs-Grain need for the state:
 For farm use ...........- 73,S50, 900

 Shortage ............ S,S50,000
 Percentage of needs 29l0.
 Difference Is Slight-"It is believed that the hay and grain needs, for live stock not on farms are heavier than for those on farms, due to the advantage of pasturage and grazing, which the farm animal may have; also that some meat h, produced by persons not on farms. However, the difference in either case will be small, and the figures above rep resenting needs, production and shortage are thought to be reasonably accurate. It will be understood that in the case of meat large part of the farm produc- tion is shipped out of the state for packing and back for consumption.
 Giving due consideration to the inn portance of, the three items, sN is found that farm production of these com modities lack 30 per cent supplying the needs of the entire state" &,

TAX CUT E LEFT . IN REVENUE BILL
Leaders Agree Not To Attempt
 To Remove Provision !. ... From Measure

WASHINGTON, March S.--Ths
 provision for s25 per. cent :xeduction in income ttxes, payAbl& this year, win
 rest on the fortunes of fhe revenue bill,
 House leaders reaching "a tentative
 agreement today not fosattempt to re-
 move it from the revenue measure and see kits immediate enactment in separate resolution.
 Advocates of. the latter plan, includ- ing Representative Tillison, Connecti-
 cut, a republican member; of the Ways
 and Means committee. admitted it would
 be almost impossible to get such a reso.
 lntion through by March. 15. when firsf |installments on income taxes are dus.
 The treasury department had aske6 this in an effort to avoid the necessity of making refunds on these payments and President Coolidge endorsed thS proposal.
 Chairman Green did not present tho proposition to the ways and means com mittee, where such resolutions would have to be considered first. Later. in EtheS day, however, Representative Pof- tcK, IckpkVAlSd1i, GHAsyAtdHla,. lHtFUs duced resolution providing for such ac. Esa Opposed By Many
 The proposition was opposed by many Emembers of both parties, democrats de- lclarfng it was the first step by the ad- niinistration leading to presidential Eveto of the revenue bill, the new rates Eof which will first apply to taxes pay- able next year. ees sg& ssi.i ss5 4 s4..;siss Meanwhile the Senate finance com.
 mittee reached the first important. secs tion in its revenue bill--the estste taxes. The rates of these taxes were raised by the House over the opposition of republican organization members and strong sentiment developed in the finance committee today to revise the entire section, with view, however, to raising the same amount of revenue as provided by the House.
 Chairman Shoot said considerable
 sentiment developed toward making the
 tax apply to beneficiaries or estates rather than to-.the estate of the de ceridents before divided. This would make it in the form of an inheritance tax and would require general reduc- tion of the rates. The $50,O00 exemp. tion allowed in the, estate tax would necessarily be cut down, Mir. Shoot said, and perhaps most of the rates raised. :.
