not less than 100000 horsepower

this power is not to be used in the

equivalent to saying that they will

ever, reasonable to infer that after
the complimentary vote for the

BY WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT.

An important problem which the
government has. as one of the
sequelae of the war. is the dispo-
sition of the enormous plants which
in anticipation of a war of longer
duration were erected in various
parts of the country properly to
equip our army at the front.
They were built in such haste
that no considerations of economy
were consulted. and their cost was
far in excess of that of a plant
which would be erected by private
| capital for similar purposes in time
of peace. II purchasers could be
found. which is doubtful. the gov
ernnient would have to be content
with enormous sacrifices in the
price.
The question is presented wheth-
er the government may not, by an
operation of the plants for peace
production. make more salvage out
of the situation than by scrapping
the plant or by attempting to find
a purchaser at a totally inadequate
price.
Typical Case Cited.
A case in point is the nitrate
plant at Florence. Ala, in which
a total expenditure of some $780,
100000 or szo.Ooo.o00 occurred in
the development of steam power
and in the buildings and machinery
