New York. December 21.—(Special.)
Among the other benefits or opportunities
which the European war has created for
the United States is that which is now
opening for the development of certain
ratural .resources which have hitherto1
been neglected. In industrial circles the
presumption is strong that science will

hitherto have been imported from Ger- <
many. We possess all the raw material
Becessary for this product, and it is spok
en of as a fine object lesson which Edison
taught when recently, having been de
prived by the war of an Ingredient of
which he made large use in his manu
facturing plant, he worked out a formula
which now enables him to produce In his
own plant, or did before it was burned—
Bn ample supply of this material.
Until the war In Europe began, the
United States was in great measure de
pendent upon Germany for magnesite, a
mineral which is used in many industries.
It cost the United States about $30 a ton
before war made imports of it impossible.
The price ran up to $106 a ton and very
little of it could be produced even at that
prohibitive figure. It was knowm, how
ever, that in California, there were prac
tically inexhaustible deposits of this min
eral, and the fortunate opening of the
Panama canal to navigation shortly before
the European war began made It possible
to transport this mineral from California
to the eastern coast of the United States
,v at small cost. The result is that within
a few days capital has undertaken to
4eveIop these California mines, and upon
•uch large lines that hereafter we shall
be spared the necessity of importing this
Btineral.
Curiously enough, just as this capital
was perfecting the plans information came
from England that it is the purpose to
forbid the export of magnesite from Great
Britain. An embargo will probably be put
' Upon the export of the article. The chief
reason for this disposition of Great Brit
ain to prevent the export of magnesite is
undoubtedly the fact that science has
Shown the way to utilize the mineral in
the manufacture of a commodity which
for some purposes will take the place
of aluminum. Science declares that the
product will have a tensile strength three
times that of aluminum, while it will be
Considerably lighter. It will, therefore,
be especially available for airships of all
kinds and apparently in the construction
of airships of the biplane or monoplane
type England expects to be diligently oc
cupied} for some years.

strain of the financial relations between
the United States *and London could be
relieved.
There is no longer any occasion for con
ference or arrangement. Presumably,
however, this understanding does not af
fect the plan whereby considerable cred
its may be established fn London and In
Paris in favor of the United States. Every
year, however, there are considerable
credits thus established, although of them
the public has had little knowledge.
1 ho movement of American commodities
across the sea has been so large and seems
so likely to continue for a long time that
the normal resources and methods of
trade will take care of our international
financial relations. Of course, had there
l'€.en on the statute books law’s of the
kind which are urged by two or three
members of Congress prohibiting the sale
ol commodities to belligerents, we should
not have recovered our financial strength
and probably at this time would find our
selves in a desperate situation.
The authorities at Washington an
nounced, on the same day of the report
from London, that no international agree
ment was necessary, that the estimate
made by the department of agriculture of
the money value of the chief agricultural
products which were harvested last sum
mer and fall fixes the sum a little under
$5,000.000,000. That is about one-half the
estimate of the total value of all our agri
cultural products harvested in tlie sum
mer and fall of 1914. including, of course,
lumber. Were it possible to report that
the cotton harvest this year w’ould be mar
keted at the average price received in
recent years for raw cotton, then the
money value of these 14 crops would be
considerably in excess of $5.u00.00u,000.
Many times reports have come to this
city from the mid-west, and even the re
mote west, that tell of an earlier re
vival of business prosperity in those grain
producing regions than in other parts of
the country. The official estimate fur
nished a sufficient reason, for when Jt is
kr.cwn that wheat alone will yield nearly
$900,000,000 this year, and that corn will
yield $1,700,000,000 in money, then there is
good'explanation for the relative prosper
ity which exists in the grain-growing sec
tion. These stupendous harvests and the
unusual demand that comes from across
tiie sea for food products and for early
shipments of them in great amounts ex
plain, in part, at least, why the London
Bankers informed Sir George Faish and
^'hy he lias informed his friends in t e
United States that there is no longer any
neccessity for artificial international finan
cial agreement.
An Incident of the War
H is not because the principle on wdiicli
the so-called profit-sharing policy of the
United States Steel corporation has been
built is now recognized as a failure that
the corporation finds it expedient to pass
over this kind of profit-sharing in the
yeai 1914. This action is in great measure
due to the effect of the European war.
I rquestionably profit-sharing will i e re
sumed as soon as fairly formal condi
tions set in, very likely next year. Ten
yrars of thorough test have demonstrat
ed that tills corporation lias at last dis
covered the sound economic principle of
profit-sharing, as it is called. Today
not far from 40 per cent of the stock of
this corporation is in the ownership of
its employes. Last year 46,000 of these
stock-holding employes bought, in round
numbers. 85,000 shares, approximately an
average of two shares to an employe, and
every one of these purchasers felt that
lie was not receiving a gratuity, but was
enabled by the methods adopted by the
corporation to buy and pay for. sub
stantially out of his earnings, stock of
the corporation. Instead of putting his
yearly accumulations in the savings bank
lie invested a part of these savings in the
stock of the corporation. At the rate of
increase in holdings these skilled artisans
and others employed by the corporation
should within a few* years possess more
than 50 per cent of its stock. That illus
trates a principle which the late Abram
S. Hewitt, formerly mayor of New York
find himself a large employer of labor, be
lieved would ultimately be widely adopted
and would lead to full co-operation be
tween labor and those wfiio paid wages,
removing antagonism.
LETTERSTO EDITOR
The Rate Decision
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
The decision handed down Friday by
the interstate commerce commission
granting the railroads an increase In
rates should meet the approval of every
American citizen, and doubtless will
meet the approval of the business in
terests of the country. While the rail
roads were not given the full increase
asked for, It was a substantial on*,
and will greatly help business condi
tions throughout the country.
I am glad to know’ that the people
are fast realizing that the railroads are
an important factor in the upbuilding
of this great country of ours, and that
the prosperity of the railroads and the
prosperity of individuals is inseparably
interw’oven. that the railroads cannot
do anything to hurt the public without
causing injury to themselves, nor can
the individual do anything to injure
the railroads without severely injuring
themselves. One of the prime factors
of the present depression is the fact
that the railroads have stopped buy
ing things as well as having prac
tically discontinued construction work
of all kinds.
In 1907, when war was being waged
against the railroads by the governing
powers of many of our southern states.
1 addressed a letter to the public
through the press which was published
under the head of ’‘The Railroad Sit
uation"; among other things, I said;
"The fight being waged against the
railroads was being carried too far. and
should be stopped. Without doubting
the sincerity of sopie of those who fa
vored the movement, and recognizing
that in some respects their efforts have
resulted in good, it must be, neverthe
less. apparent to everyone that agita
tion has gone to a dangerous extreme.
As is apparent to every fair minded
citizen, the real demand of the public
is not for cheaper rates, hut for im
proved service; cheaper rates are not
desired at the cost of Inferior service.
The shipper demands the quick placing
• of ears for loading and unloading, the
rapid transportation of freight, and the
prompt settlements of claims for dam
j age loss and overcharge. The Travel
ing public demand convenient sched
ules. comfortuble cars, and that the
number of accidents due to inferior
equipment und roadways be reduced,
and that an end be put to tin* tearful
maiming and killing of people reported
daily by the press. The agitation should
be confined to enforcing these de
mands. but the reduction at this time
of freight and passenger rates in the
face of the enormous increase in op
erating expenses, so far from accom
plishing the result, simply crjpples the
road, Und renders the improvement of
that service Impracticable.”
1 feel that the railroads are not in
as good a financial condition now as
they were in 1907. in view of the fact
that the operating expenses have
greatly increased during the past few
years.
I am glad to see that In the opinion
of the interstate commerce commis
sion, there is a growing spirit among
the curriers of up-ope ration with th°
commission in its efforts to enforce
the law: J am also glad to see a better
understanding existing among both the
carriers and the public in their mutual
obligations.
!At any rate, the decision means much
to our immediate district: Birmingham
i will b«* called upon to meet its share
of this increase demand. It means con
tinuous operation of the steel mill al
Ensley upon a capacity basis, end a
large volume of business for the mines
and furnaces.

Opposes Dividing County
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
1 note some are in favor of making
Birmingham a separate* county. T am op
Pcsed to dividing our county into two
or more counties, as this might be an
advantage to Birmingham in taxes but it
would hurt the business men in Bir
mingham, for, of course, there would be
a new county site and we would have
to go to it to give in and pay our taxes
and of course we would throw our energy
i and trade there to try to build it up.
■ Not only this, but the whole county 1e
; lnterestd in good roads and to cut Bir
. minghain off that would so cripple that
movement until it would take a quarter
! of a century to get over it. What's good
■ for the farmers is good for Birmingham,
, for they depend on the farmer for their
, produce. Yours truly,

Abolition of Useless Offices
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
At present there is much discussion of
the abolition of useless offices, but this
discussion is confined almost exclusively
to state offices.
Very little is said about the abolition
of county offices.
It is generally accepted, as political
maxims, that not one more dollar tax
should be collected from the people, than
is necessary for the economical adminis
tration of the government, and that there
should not be any more offices than are
necessary for the transaction of the pub
lic business.
In this connection, the abolition of the
office of county treasurer would save
the people of the respective counties of
the state approximately $75,000.
This office is now practically ijseless
and there is no reason for its retention.
This office ie established under section
208 of the code of 1907.
Under section 217, of the code of 190i,
the treasurer receives 2% per cent com;
missions on receipts and disbursements,

I Market Has Good Under
tone as Result of the
Week’s Trading
New 'Orleans. December 20.—gotten
futures made a net gain of 20 to 31
points as the results of last week s
trading. The market had a good un
dertone the week through as tile re
sult of buying stimulated by inci eas
ing exports, large mill takings and
the demand for spots in the interior
to fill December engagements.
Exports were larger than during any
week this season. Not only was thi
movement big but freight brokers
stated that forward freight engage
ments were large enough to warrant
the prediction that clearances would
be heavy for sometime to come. As a
result of recent shipments statistics
of tlif week showed that the total
amodnt of cotton afloat for Europe
from this country was actually larger
than it was at this time last year, the
figures being 831,000 bales against
796,000.
This week business necessarily will
lie restricted by the approach of the
holiday period. The market will close
Thursday night until Monday. Traders
on both sides will he more inclined to
even up than to enlarge their holdings.
The movement of cotton at the ports
will ho closely watched because of
forecasts of the bulls that end of De
cember engagements are very large.
Further large clearances will be a sus
taining influence of importance. On the
other hand bears expect that this week
will see considerable cotton offered in
the interior by fanners who want td
realize Christmas money and they ex
pect such offerings to be a pressure
on the market.
but on the commission basis, no treas
urer receives more than $1000 salary per
annum.
Most of the county treasurers in the
state receive $1000 salary per annum, but
several counties have local laws increas
ing this compensation.
In a few counties treasurers receive
$3000 salaries per annum.
Very few treasurers now perforin the
duties of their offices.
These duties are performed almost ex
clusively by local banks.
There are generally two or more banks
at each county seat, and ns a rule these
banks are anxious to keep the treasurer’s
books.
It gives them the county deposits and
makes new customers for the banks, and
gs a rule the banks keep the books in
accordance with law.
Keveral years ago Dallas county abol
ished the office of county treasurer; one
of the local banks of Selma transacting
the business of the office for *he county.
It has given general satisfaction and
save the county $1000 per annum, as the
banks^are glad to transact this business
without compensation.
The present methods of assessment, col
lection and disbursement of taxes is quite
expensive, in both state and counties.
The state rate of taxation is 66 cents
oil the $100.
For the fiscal year ending September
30, 1914, the state paid the following
amounts for the collection and assess
ment of taxes:
Assessor's commissions .$ 49,707.40
Collector's commissions . 77.N4K.S1
Tax commissioners* commissions 6.625.52
Total .$134,181.73
The counties pay approximately $150.
000 commissions for the assessment and
collection of taxes, as the rates of taxa
tion in the counties arc higher than the
state rate.
Then the counties have to pay in addi
tion to the commissions, the salaries of
the treasurers for the disbursement of
the money.
As previously slated, the abolition of
file office of county treasurer will save
the people i»f the respective counties ap
proximately $75,000 per annum, without
any interference with the transaction of
public business. J. T. GORMAN.

A WAYWARD BOY
Restored to Mother Mho Explains His
Weakness to Man He Had Be

Dothan, December 20.—(Special.)
Staged in Dothan, a Christmas story
in real life, which surpasses in pathos
many that have been written In fiction,
"as brought to a happy ending here
tonight when a wayward son was re
stored to a heartbroken mother. Mont
gomery. Birmingham. Atlanta and Ne"
York contributed their part. Atlanta
and New York furnishing the principals
in the story.
Friday night a young man. a stranger
In Dothan, and without money, sought
lodging for the night. He asked Oscar
M. Holen of New York, a guest of a
local hotel, to lend him 50 cents with
which to obtain a bed, explaining that
he had no money nor place to sleep.
The young man gave his name aH
Charles A. Sanders of Cincinnati. Mr.
Holen invited Sanders to spend the
night with him and both retired to
Ilolen s room.
A few hours later a policeman, who
had witnessed the conversation between
the two In the hotel lobby, noticed San
uers leaving the hotel and became sus
picious. An investigation disclosed
Holen peacefully sleeping in his room
while his clothing hRd been rifled of
$210 in cash and a diamond pin. San
ders ^could not be located but it was
learned that a man answering his de
scription had bought a ticket to Bir
mingham and left the city on an early
through train. With the assistance of
Atlantic Coast Line officials Sanders
was located on the train and taken off
at Troy. An officer was sent from Do
than to bring him back.
Mother Notified
Sanders said that his mother was in
Montgomery, and asked that she be
notified, which was done. His mother
proved to be Mrs. S. A. Sanders of At
lanta. a traveling saleslady of con
siderable means. She left Montgomery on
the first train for Dothan ami was
joined at Troy by the officer and her
son.
When Dothan was reached Mayor
Baker was summoned to the council
chamber with Mr. Holen. Other city of
ficials also appeared.
In tears Mrs. Sanders explained that
her son was hardly responsible for his
actions, having been under treatment
several times ami that she was amply
able to car#' for him, and would do so
if lie was returned to her custody.
“MV boy does not have to do wrong
to obtain money, 1 am able to take care
of him. Me is in need of medical atten

only a woman, a heartbroken mother,
and my Christinas will be spoiled if my
boy is taken from me to spend his
Christinas in Jail.”
Also Missed Christmas
“I. too, have missed my Christmas,
madam. said Mr. Holen. “This delay

“Take this $1000 certificate of deposit,
