Whitman, Wtllson | January 7, 1939 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on economic conditions of Huntsville, Alabama, after the U.S. Civil War. Huntsville, so hostile to foreign invasion, does not seem to mind absentee ownership. And it does not seem to realize that the Alabama Power Co. is not a local enterprise. Huntsville people talk about the taxes that Alabama Power pays the state, not realizing that the company had to be converted to that. It would not be easy to change the cotton farming though the warehouses are stuffed with crops. Changing the mill set-up by federal legislation may be easier.
