FORD AND EDISON
COMING SOUTH
Ford intimates Major Details Of
Transfer of Plant Have Been
Agreed On--Plans a Huge Pro-
ject for South.

New York, Nov. 20-Henry Ford
and Thomas A. Edison will visit
Muscle Shoals week after Thanks
giving, reporter for The CONNER
cial Appeal and The New York Her
aid learned tonight.
Primarily, their trip is to inspect
the nitrate plant with view to pro-
viding nitrates for the nations
farms. But behind this plan is an
other, which may mean an industrial
advance for the south heretofore un-
dreamed of. 1t is known that Henry
Ford is in earnest in his offer to buy
The battleships which may be junked
by the Disarmament conference.
That these steel monsters may be con-
.yerted into farming implements at
Muscle Shoals is now known to be one
OF the ideas uppermost in Mr.Ford's
mind.
Mr.. Ford visited Mr.. Edison and dis
cussed his plans for employing tens of
thousands fmen to complete his
proposed plans late yesterday, after
he had discussed the major details of
his offer to buy the government plant
with Secretary Weeks in Washington
He intimated that the major details
were agreed upon.
+ Mr.. Ford and Mr.. Edison will take
corps of technical experts with them
on their trip.
! "Mr. Edison not only knows about
water power, but he's the best au-
thority on nitrates in this country"
Mr.. Ford said of the inventor when
ever l want oknow anything in
chemistry I ask Mr. Edison.
MIR. Ford smiled at the army engi-
ineer's estimate of $28,00o,00O to COM
iplete the Wilson dam to develop wa
ter power at the shoals.
Il suppose some interests will op-
pose this project" Mr.. Ford continued,
'but they can't beat us"
BIr. Ford when questioned about the
farmers support 70 his plans, said
that.the farmers are a two-fsted peo-
pie who can do lot "

The telephone company will appeal to
the supreme court of the state. The
writ Of certiorari, invoked by Attor-
ney-General Frank Robertson in this
case, had never before been invoked
III one of these rate hearings. At
common law the writ lies In the power
Of a superior tribunal TO compel an in
fegior tribunal to certify the record
~ q proceeding to the superior court
for review. In the present case, while
tie railroad commission had certain
atutory authority to make rates in
its discretion, the statute undertook to
control this discretion to q certain a1-
tent, by requiring that the commits
sion must have evidence Of certain
things before it could make rate.
When the Cumberland Telephone
case was tried last spring it came up
ON the petition Of the company for an
increase in its exchange rates ii Mis-
sissippi Gen. Robertson contended in
tine trial that the companay should
show its exchange expense in this
state as a necessary basis on which
to predicate fair and reasonable
rate. Judge Potter accepted this view
of the matter and declared the order of
1.-THE commission void because he said
the evidence as disclosed by the record
before him did rot show this very
necessary fact was known to the com
mission when it undertook to make its
rate. lie did not imply that the rate
itself might not be a just rate, but
merely that the commission must
I necessarily have guessed at the rate
fixed to some extent.
While this particular phase of tae
case is going through the state courts
the telephone company has also sep
arate proceeding in the federal court
in which it claims that the present
rate, now left in force and which they
complain Of, is too low, and is confis-
catory Of their property in the staate;
that they are operating their business
III Mississippi at loss. They further
ask the federal court to increase theli
rates and suggest as a fair and rea-
sonable rate the same schedule which
the Mississippi Railroad Commission
granted them last March.
