One dollar per mile of speeding be-

While building activities in Ell

haps be a gratifying bit of informa-
ton to state that there is now under

ity, which in building construction
alone will total something more than

This is the largest building item at

by the permits issued from the office
of City Engineer Dyer. Next in line
comes the city of Ell Centre itself, with
a magnificent new $4,000 grammar

OPPOSITION LINES UP
Bitter Political Fight Presaged
BY Alignment of Special In

By HERBERT w. WALKER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-A pre-
liminary canvass of congress reveals
that a majority of both houses favor
acceptance of Henry Ford's compre.
, hensive offer for the Muscle Shoals
nitrate plant.
Friends of the Ford offer have
made the survey. Even opponents OF
Ford secretly admitted today that
chances of Congress eventually &C
oepting the offer were good, but
stated it would be subject to one of
the most bitter political battles in re.
cent years.
Already preparations are being
made to force pl<npt action when
Secretary Of War Weeks sends th'
Ford offer to Congress, which prob
sbly will be the latter part of next
week.
The powerful agricultural bloc is
lining up behind it and sentiment is
said by supporters Of the offer to be
strong enough in the h1use so that a
special rrle to give privileged status
to the bill enlodying the offer could
be obtained.
But opponents of the offer will
make every effort to delay its final
acceptance.
Those against the Ford offer arc
/. The National Fertilizer Associ-
alton.
2. The electric power interests.

peals more strongly to people of large
incomes. Another Strengthening infiu-

fact that on June 15 all outstanding

the only other tax exempt Government

Internal Bonds.

Interesting views on foreign currency
bonds are contained in a circular letter
Issued by an investment house which
takes the stand that the complications
OF foreign exchange are overstressed.
The letter says in part: "A great many
PEOPLE hesitate about buying bonds pay
able In foreign currencies because they
seem to feel that there Is something diff
cult and complicated about such invest
ment, which. perhaps, accounts for the
fact that people are willing to buy such
Issues as Brazilian. Argentine and
Scandinavian bonds payable in dollars.
whereas they are afraid 20 touch the
more attractive bonds of those countries
payable I'm their respective foreign cur
rencies. If the external bonds payable
In dollars are good, the internal bonds
are good. And II interest and principal
or the external bonds are going to be
raid. these various foreign currencies
are going to rise in value In comparison
to the dollar. Just as safe, the internal
bonds offer better chances in the way OF
price appreciation. There is nothing
complicated or difficult about investment
In bonds payable in foreign currency.
Coupons can be collected at the bank
just as easily as though they read In
dollars" This IL undoubtedly true in
respect TO foreign currency bonds issued
BY solvent nation and offered for sale
by reputable banking house. Great
Determination should be used by In
vtstors. as some foreign currency bonds
are practically worthless and no mar.
lSer exists for them.
