War Secretary to Hurry New
Offer for Congress Consider
ation-Continue Hearings on
Ford Proposition

Washington, Feb. f5-Entry of the
Alabama Power Company today in
the lists of private bidders for the
government properties at Muscle
Shoals, Alabama, was regarded by
officials IS offering formidable rival
~ to Henry Ford's proposal now
before Congress for final decision.
Secretary Weeks probably will ex-
pedite delivery of the new offer to
Congress so that consideration of the
Alabama and Ford proposals can be
undertaken simultaneously and
their respective merits discussed be-
fore final action is taken on the
Muscle Shoals question. The Ala
bama company offer is for purchase
of the Warrior power plant and
transmission line and lease for so
years Of the other properties under
provisions of the federal water power
act.
Members OF the house military
committee investigating the Ford Of
fer said they would not delay action
on the Ford, already before them,
pending receipt of the other from the
war secretary.
Secretary Weeks did not personally
receive the proposal today as he was
confined to his home by slight cold.
1t was delivered to his private secre-
tary and held for Mr.. Weeks atten-
ton when he returns to the depart
ment, which it was expected he would
do tomorrow
Chairman Kahn was uncertain how
long the military committee would
continue the hearings on Mr.. Ford S
offer. Witnesses yet to be heard in
cluded number of the most impor-
tant on the docket.
1t appeared probable, said tn F,
chairman. that the committee would
be engaged for another two weeks
before it would be able to refer the
proposal back to the house. In the
event Mr.. Weeks submits the Ala
hama company's proposal within that
time, the two offers would be stimuli
taneously in the hands of the same
house committee.
Today's meeting was devoted to
hearing testimony of Governor AL
fred Taylor of Tennessee. The gov
errior was accompanied by a delega-
ton of Tennesseeans for whom he
spoke in condemnation of the Ala
hama Power Company. which he de-
clared was opposing the offer of Mr..
Ford. He strongly urged adoption
Of the Detroit manufacturers pro-
posal.
First hearings to be held on the
Ford offer by the senate agriculture
committee were scheduled to begin
tomorrow.

Bonus Source
Still Bothers
Bill Trainers

Washington, Feb. 15.-The soldiers
bonus question was tonight still very
much in the air.
Congress was without any official
word from President Harding as to
his views on the subject and, mean
time, the committee which have been
handling the problem continued to
mark time.
Among senators and representa-
tives generally. there was consider
able private discussion and conjec-
ture with the revival on the house
side of talk about a slashing of an
nual appropriation bills as a means
of providing the necessary finances
for the bonus
Representative Mondell. Wyoming,
and some other leaders in the house
We're understood to be giving this
proposal close study. Mr.. Mondell
called at the White House early in
the day, but did not see the President.
He said afterward that the supply
measures would be examined careful
ly to determine whether much of the
sum needed for the bonus could not
be obtained from that direction.
This proposition met with consid-
cradle response from members OF the
house, where apparently there is a
growing desire to put the bonus bill
through.
There We're suggestions that as a
result of the agreement for a naval
holiday as much as 100000 900 could
be cut from the naval bill and that
another large sum could be saved by
cutting down the size of the army.
Mr.. Mondell and other leaders were
not prepared however, to make es-
Inmates until more careful study Of
the subject had been made.
With the executive known to look
with disfavor upon either the sug-
sested eight point tax program, or a
BOND issue, sales tax proponents
, pushed their campaign with renev. ed
vlsor and were understood to have
| been well satisfied with the progress
| maze. There were said to be hopeful
that the President would suggest this
KIND of tax in his expected COM
munication to Chairman McCumber
OF the Senate Finance Committee.
some senators also thought hat
Nr. Harding might make a sueges-
ton. but this belief did not appear to
be general. Sentiment in both the
mouse and senate against a sales tax
was said to be so strong that there
was little probability that the bonus
bill with a provision for this tax
could be passed
Congressional leaders were 1nder-
! S.ood 10 be without informa ton to-
night as to when the President would
communicate with Senator McCum-
Der or whether his letter would con-
tam suggestions that might assist
congress in shaping its program,

Gas Co. Head Says
8 Per Cent. Profit
Not Enough Now

Boston, Feb. 15.-Returns of s per
cent. on the money invested are not
nowadays sufficient to meet the re-
quirements of gas companies. d. d.
Barnum. president of the American
Gas Association, said tonight at the
annual banquet of the New England
Association of Gas Engineers.
For some time past" he said, "it
has been the habit and the slogan that
we must have. and the courts have
decided that we are entitled to have
e. and in some cases per cent. en-
the money invested in the property
devoted to public use for the proper
development of the business and the
success of the industry this does not
meet the requirements.
An incentive to investors must be
re-introduced into the business. Ii
should be regulated and limited. o.
course, and it should be reciprocal as
between the company and it's custom
crs and should be based on what tha
utility gives to the public. The Amer
lean Gas Association is working on
this problem and its representative,
who was in England last year, made a
study Of the sliding scale laws recent
~ enacted in that country.
The time will soon come. IL II has
not already arrived. when the industry
as whole instead OF going before
regulatory bodies and asking for a
given rate or a certain standard. must
go before the proper authorities and
demand that If we are going to de-
vclop the possibilities which we kno v
are inherent in the business, We must
have more freedom as to rates and
standards. Let US face our plain duty
and demand what is obviously neces-
sary. fair and just. not only to the in
dustry, but to the public whom we
serve"

BRITAIN HOPEFUL settlement
ROW NORTH AND SOUTH IRELAND
Naval Grads
May Not Go
Into NAVY

Washington. Feb. 1.-the House
naval committee in trying to find some
way of reducing appropriations for the
naval establishment next year was re-
ported today TO have agreed informally
to recommend that the first class at
Annapolis, to be graduated in June. be
turned back to civil life without COM
missions in the navy.
Though members declined to discuss
this proposal, it is understood that
such recommendation probably
would be made, along with the pro-
pGsal that the number of men to be
admitted to the academy each year be
reduced from five to two for each
member of Congress.
While the committee continued tc-
day to hear naval experts tell of the
needs for the next fiscal year under
what they described as the treaty
navy" House members were canvass
ing themselves to find how much could
be cut from Secretary Denbys esti-
mate of $3.50 100000 for the next fiscal
year.
The figure most persistcntly men,
toned as the most probable to be set
by the appropriations committee was
$3.50, 600. Many claims by little,
navy men" demanding drastic cuts
were made that the House, at least,
would not stand for more than $780,
600, 600.
Nobody in authority was prepared
to say what the enlisted personnel
would be if only $200.0O0,O00 was att
thorized, though all agreed it would
scrap the treaty navy" and give it
an actual strength less than that al
iotted by the conference to Japan.
1t was indicated that even the naval
committee might not support Mr.. Den
by's request that the personnel of line
officers be left intact. 1t would not
follow his suggestion in standing out
against commissions for the first class
at Annapolis, which he strongly recon-
mended.

Senate May
Defeat Bill
for Jobless

Washington, Feb. 15.-UneXpected
and bipartisan opposition developed
in the senate today to the bill in
troduced by Senator Kenyon, Repub-
lican, Iowa, to aid the unemployment
problem by empowering government
officials to press public works dur
ing slack times and retard them dur
ing periods of nrosperity.
After Senator Kenyon had obtain
ed consideration of the bill and ex-
planned its provisions, republicans
and democrats launched an attack on
it with the result that leaders declar-
ed the fate of the bill, which went
over until tomorrow, was in doubt.
Senator Kenyon, chairman of e
labor committee, said he was press
ing the bill mainly in the interest OF
labor. 1t had the endorsement of the
American Federation of Labor, the
United States Chamber of Commerce
and other organizations, he added
Senator Fletcher. democrat, Flor
ida, said he feared the bill conferred
too large powers on executive officials
over government work while Senator
Sterling. republican. South Dakota
declared it was paternalistic in spir-
it and was backed by big business.
Senator Kenyon said the bill was
concrete" result of President
Harding's recent unemployment con-
ference and its principles were rec
commended in resolutions of the con-
ference.
Senator New. republican, Indiana
objected to a provision of the bill
which he said would have the de-
partmcnt of commerce predict panics
and had business conditions. This
he declared, might add to business
difnculties when the facts would not
warrant such predictions. Senator
Kenyon insisted that the bill did not
call for such predictions by the de-
partment but only for publication OF
facts regarding business conditions.
