FORD GRINDING AWAY
When Congress meets again in
December the old Muscle Shoals issue
will be revived and those democrats
and a few republicans who have been
agitating the propaganda in Henry’s
Ford's favor ar« expected to renew
the fight with increasing vigor be
cause of the closeness of tlie political
division in the new congress. A time
Iv resume of the whole subject is con
tained in the Portland Oregonian. ■
which says:
"Of the many popular delusions that
are fostered by persistent repetition
of what is not true, one of the worse
now current is the belief that Henrj
Ford is pledged to supply farmers
with cheap fertilizer if the govern
ment should accept his offer for the
Muscle Shoals power and nitrate
plants. Representative Mondell put
the facts plainly when he said that
Mr. Ford "offers to utilize a part of
the plan for the manufacture of fer
tilizer provided he can make eight per
cent on his investment-” So would
any other man who has the capital
and business ability to put into the
business.
"In return for this offer, which is a
pledge ot nothing, Mr. Ford asks the
government to sell for five million
dollars property which cost one hun
dred million, to complete the Wilson
dam at a cost of $25,000,000, to accept
tour per cent interest on that sum,
and to grant him a lease of the power
site lor 100 years, when the law lim
its water power leases to 50 years.
If such an offer w’ere to be accepted
by congress from any other man it
would be denounced as a steal by the
very people who clamor for the ac
ceptance when coming from Mr. Fora.
Some of them are hypnotized by the
reputation of Mr. Ford as an idealist
businessman; but many have a far
more selfish motive, though they keep
it and themselves in the background.
These men have bought great tracts
of land around Muscle Shoals and
they attract buyers by holding out the
prospect that Mr. Ford will make the
dams a great industrial center. They
keep this myth alive in <he minds oi
their dupes by branding as capitalis
tic reactionaries all who oppose it
Perhaps the only cure for the delusion
would be practical demonstrations
such as were given to a few hundred
American communities at the Kuzbas
colony in Siberia, but that would b>
too expensive to the nation.”
THE war isn’t really over until the
spoils have been divided.
NO wonder the Bolsheviks deny
God. He brought order out of chaos.
A SEWARD auto owner is now
buying his gasoline by the pint. He
must be trying to wean the durn
critter.
THE first atheist who lasits as long
as the Bible has will have a multi
tude of followers.
PRINCIPLE keeps the pacifist from
fighting but the militarist is quieted
only by the interest.
IT is hard <o tell whether that story
about some Alaska legislators being
drunk is offered as a scandal or an
alibi.
DON'T judge France too harshly,
there may be madness in her method.
SEWARD is not in such bad shape
as our pessimists would have us be
lieve. Some of us have still a little
whilst others have a little still.
A SEWARD restaurant advertises:
“If your wife can’t cook don’t divorce
her; eat here and save her for a pet.”
NOTHING is quite so hard on a
child’s health as its mo<her who wor
