The upper house of congress has
passed the bill providing for the es-
Establishment of a government nitrate
plant at Mussel Shoals. On the face
of It the bill is designed to furnish
cheap fertilizer to the farmer. If 1T
work out as planned the farmer who
uses fertilizer will obtain his fertilizer
at a price below that which he now
pays, while the farmer who does not
use fertilizer will help to pay for the
difference in cost, thru the medium of
taxes. Senator Capper voted for the
bill, while Senator Curtis opposed it..
Not a southern senator was recorded
as voting against the bill. This may
be accounted for by the facts that
Mussel Shoals is in the south and that
most southern farmers use fertilizer.
Why Senator Capper voted for it Is
not so apparent.

What a worker as we'll as any other
consumer with limited purchasing
power needs more than anything else
now is less price, which means more
value. in what his or any other
mans dollar buys. Prices of anything
can come down anywhere at any time
because the bottom of the market falls
out. But for prices to reach a normal
level and stay at normal level, raw
material, wages and overhead costs
must travel down the same hill by
the same road to the same journeys
end. Otherwise the consuming pub
lie must stand prepared to-sbe whip
sawed again when the surplus supply
has disappeared and the high produce

an article in a market which cannot

Railroad workers protest vigorously
agreements regarding wages and
working conditions. made during the
period the federal government was
running the roads. But what good
will the agreements do them if the
roads cannot get the money with
which to pay them? Under existing
conditions the roads cannot make it or
borrow it. With bankruptcy would
come such a cutting of pay rolls along
with many other misfortunes as no
one likes TO contemplate.
