DRAWS SOME FIRE
Senators Sherman and Fernald Oppose
Gronna Measure to Regulate
Packers.

washington, Jan p Proposed
government regulation of the meat
packers and allied ministries drew
fire in the Senate today from two
senators, Sherman of Illinois, and
Fernald of Maine, both Republ cans.
The two senators opposed the pend
ng Gronna regulatory bill as an un-
warranted interference with a par
ticu ar private industry, principle,
which. they said, might be extended
niuriously TO other lines OF business,
Oppos tion of both senators to the
measure, which will be voted on next
Monday, also included attacks upon
the federal trade commission which
has supported the legislation. Sena-
tor Sherman. charging tha' the com
mi sion's criticisms OF the big five
packers had injured Their export
trade. declared that copy of one OF
the commissions reports got into the
hands of the British board OF trade
a month before Il was made public in
this country.
A substitute for the Gronna bill
was introduced by Senator Sterling,
Repub lean, South Dakota pTopoa ng
transfer of government regulation OF
the meat industry TO the federal trade
commission in tead of the new live
stock commission provided in the
Gronna bill.
Senator Sterling's substitute also
provided for less federal supery sion
than the Gronna bill and had as one
of its principal provisions publicity
of meat packing affairs.

FORD SEEKING
LOAN OF $4,000
FROM N. !. BANKS
Needs Money to Pay His Federal
Income Taxes
HAS MANY CARS ON HAND
Working Capital OF Company also Bur
dened by Europe's Inability to
Meet Payments.

New York, Jan 22.~The Ford Mo
tor Company has come TO Wall street
for money for the section time IN his
history. 1t is negotiating for $780,
000, 900 to $75,000,000 at present A
group OF New Ycrk bankers contem-
plate offering early next week either
bonds or notes to the amount re
quired Public subscr ption will be
invited The negotiations have
reached. a point where the Liberty
National Bank, New York Trust Com
pany and Corn Exchange Bank are
connected with the new financing An
anne uncement is ant cipated at the
beginning of the week
For three or four weeks Henry Ford
has been talking about the financial
needs of his company with bankers In
this and other cities Bank loans TO
carry inventor es, completed but un.
sold automobiles and Federal income
and excess pre- fits taxes have piled up
a financial requirement possibly In eX-
cess OF $l00,000000. The bank loans
are said to be $30,000,000 The
taxes are estimated at $43, 10000
but these can be paid in four quarter.
ly installments. The completed, but
unsold automobiles approximate $780,
900, 900 in value. The contemplated
financing is to retire bank loans, TO
meet takes and to supply adequate
working capital.
The Ford Motor Company's new
money requirements have grown out
OF the change which occ.,rred In the
automobile manufacturing business
just as In other businesses. Inability
of Europe to pay for products sold
there, together with the great reduc
tion in buy ng power at home, result
ed in the piling up OF finished but un
sold product II Is estimated that
the Ford company has in the hands OF
its selling agents more than 100000
motor cars, completed hut und stribut
ed, and burden on the working cap
ltal of the company As these cars
are sold funds will flow back to the
company, aiding in the reduction OF
loans. 9-e
Henry Ford's first occasion to come
to Wal Street for funds occurred in
July. 1919 when the company Dor
rowed $75,0O0,00O for the purchase OF
the outstanding minor ty stock owned
by the Dodge brothers and others. A
syndicate composed of Bond & Good
win, Chase National Bank and Old
Colony Trust of Boston extended a
credit OF $75,000000 on ninety day
notes extended for a year and dis
counted at the prevailing rate fol
commercial borrow ngs. At the end
OF each ninety day period the aggre
gate of the credit was reduced, and II
was finally paid off in full at the close
of 1920.

the week not the slightest disposition within membership of the legislature toward such separa- ton. heard no proposed legislation which might provoke partisan action
 Among the recommendations of the governors message there is nothing to which the Democrats, nothing which the Republicans feel called upon to support for other than that it has been recommended by Republican executive.
 We have learned though that two party dinner conferences have arranged for the present week. neither of them initiated by members of the Iegs- lature. To of them only Republican members have been invited. and another, under the auspices of an unofficial Democratic organization, will tended tonight only by the Democratic members.
 What purposes be served by these party affairs except party purposes in the legislature? Certainly neither party feel necessity now of srdng it's Joins for the struggle two years hence.
 We do suppose that the majority of members of either party is going to the respective dinners with any knowledge of what is to be discussed there beyond the menu. It is quite possible that party matters will not be discussed that plans will be proposed at either dinner whose execution would be to the disadvantage of the legislators who may be at the other dinner But the guests at each will feel unavoidable curiosity concerning the debera tons of the guests at the other Curiosity is paved way to suspicion and suspicion is open road to hostility.
 We trusting to the good sense of the great majority of the members, both Democrats and Repub- hcans that they will not be by the politicians of their respective parties either of these confer ences at other place or time within the next seven weeks. There is business before the legis- ature of far greater importance than the strengthen ing of either party.
 There might be strong temptation on the part or Democratic politicians to create such division Tor the qualification of Democratic strength for once sonoiiied IL must prevail in Arizona. But it must appear to any thinking Republican that for Renub lcans to establish a party line-up would he nartv suicide.
 And certainly nothing can be gained in the way of Legislation So evenly divided are the nomna, forces in both houses that if party line shoud be drawn, nothing but deadlock could result.
