FORD'S INTERFERENCE

Conservationistsa are united in the
opinion that Henry Ford's proposal
for Muscle Shoals violates every
one of the principles Of the Federal
Water Power Act. The Act fixes
a half century as the maximum per-
Iiod for the lease of water power
by the government. It took Con-
gress many years to agree to so
long a time as fifty years, but it is
said to have taken Henry Ford
three hours to decide to go into the
Muscle Shoals proposition, and to
require of Congress lease for a
hundred years. Further proof that
Ford works fast! eff this proposal
were accepted" says statement by
defenders of the Act, "every cor
poration which has, or desires, a
water power privilege would de-
mand lease on Mr.. Ford's terms"
There are a few other little things
that Mr.. Ford would like to have
that are not in the water power
law, and among these trifles it is
pointed out that Mr.. Ford does not
recognize the principle that ghe
lessee shall pay the government an
annual rental for the power privi-
lege: and when it comes to regula-
ton by the government of the state
every spark-plug in his invention is
missing. The question of any ex-
cess profit over a fair and liberal
return, to be made good in lower
rates to the public, does not appear
to have been considered in Mr..
Ford's proposals to the government,
and the priority claims of states and
cities in the matter of power is not
in the reckoning.
The conservationists have no OBJ
jections against Mr.. Ford, but they
do find his interference in the es-
tablished order for administering the
water power Act full Of what Milton
called troublesome DISCUSSES"

ular rah! rah! time over the ques-
ton of conservation" President
Roosevelt backed Forester Pinchot
in the latter's demands for conser-
wing the natural resources Of the
country and in insisting that Con-
gress provide methods for develop
ing those resources for the benefit
of the whole people. Mr.. Pinchot
an dthe men who fought, bled, died,
and got on top of the political heap
again, have been in Washington
again very recently, and one of
their number, Philip p. Wells, who
served with Pinchot in the Forestry
Service, has issued formal state
ment giving notice to the foes of
conservation that the old warriors
are all on earth again, and that the
specific and exact spot where they
are to be found when conservation"
is at stake will be In the front line
Of fighting for the Federal Water
Power Act. The names of James
Garfield Walter L. Fisher, John
Baraton Payne, Henry 1, Stimson,
Newton D. Baker, Lindsey, M. Gar
rison, David F. Houston, Edwin T.
Meredith, Henry J. Allen, Joseph M.
Dixon, William Kent, and other
prominent conservations6s are list
ed in the new national committee
for the defense of the Act cit is
Significant says Mr.. Wells, "that
the foes of the Federal Water Power
Act do not appear to include the
large group of interests which are
the main investors in and developers
of water power. These formerly
antagonistsc interests now, as
rule, admit that the Act is practic-
able and are willing to develop
water power under it's provisions"
This statement is not at all strange
since most of the great business
interests of the country, Including
the railroads, Standard Oil, the
public utilities land financial groups
have all been knocked in the head"
and found that it did them good since
Pinchot and progressive politics were
born of the parents of public neces-
sity less than twenty years ago. It
took long time to convince these
latter groups of the necessity for a
certain amount of control of their
affairs, but since they have been
working under this kind of a system
they find it very helpful to have
a sort of clearing house that will
adjust their relations with the client
public.
The new water law. was the cul-
mination of one of the hardest
fought struggles in political his
tory. Under its provision several
hundred new power developments
have been created in the United
States. The progress has been so
steady that it looks as though even
tually water power might supplant
annual coal strikes, But this Act
does not suit the convenience of
everybody, and there are powerful
movements in the country that
threaten to undermine it's great
purpose.

1T Is reported that game wardens
have been stopping cars going into
the woods and searching them in
order to see that the game laws are
being lived up to, which is altogether
proper, but if the methods said to
be used, are being used, then the
game wardens should be censured,
for it seems they are exceeding their
authority and endangering human
life.
One of the methods reported is
that of laying logs or other obstacles
across the road, or blocking the road
with automobiles, in order to stop
those using the highways.
1t should be remembered that many
of the persons using the highways
are not hunters and that but small
percentage of the hunters are game
law violators, and that these persons
who are using the highways in the
peaceful pursuit of their duties. or
for pleasure should not be used like
escaping highwaymen and forced to
run their cars into the ditch to avoid
striking some obstacle or car placed
there to stop those who might be
attempting to violate the law, in
order that their cars may come under
the searching eyes of some officer
sworn to enforce the game laws.
We do not believe the game war
dens of this section are practicing
this trick, but instances have been
known where those sent here from
other counties, trying to make a
record for themselves, have resort
ed to such practices.

TAX DODGERS

Flying spuadrons of revenue men
have been sent out in each Internal
Revenue district of the country to
ferret out those who have failed to
make correct income tax returns to
the government. Reports indicate
the government is losing nearly a
billion dollars annually, through tax
delinquencies.

WASHBURN should feel proud
of the new community hospital
which is now ready to open in this
city, providing the people give the
necessary financial backing and sup
port. The building completely re-
modelled has been turned over to a
hospital association to operate as
they see fit. 1t is a beautiful in
stitution and one over which the
people of this part of Bayfield, coun-
tyy can feel justly proud.

WHERE DIFFERENCE COMES

We were rather interested the
other day in discussion relative to
the difference between local butter
prices and prices on the Chicago mar
ket, and from the discussion it was
made to appear that Washburn peo-
pie were paying more for butter
made here than was paid for the
same butter in Chicago.
Those taking part in the discus
sion failed to consider that the price
paid here was the retail while the
Chicago price was wholesale, to
which must be added the retail profit.
Washburn made butter. usually
brings from one-half to cent more
than the market because of the
high score of this butter, and the
wholesale price at which it is sold
to Washburn merchants is the same
at the Chicago price. It is unfair
to compare the local retail price
with the Chicago wholesale price,
which is for carload lots. Retail
prices for the same day in which
comparison was made shows the
Chicago prices to be two cents per
pound higher than the same butter
was sold for in Washburn, while the
freight amounted to about a cent a
pound.

TUESDAY was about as tame an
election as Wisconsin has gone
through in years with very light
vote cast in all of the precincts of
the county. There was lack of
interest everywhere and the election
officials went through the labors of
conducting the ratification of the
primary result, which was over
whelmingly for La Toilette and his
ticket. The county officials, with
the exception of Sheriff, had no OPP
position and with many voters in
terest lies wholly in the local con-
tests, and there being none, this
interest was not manifest in the
General election.

JUDGE Risjord has a heart that
is as big as a lion. The November
term of circuit court for Bayfield,
county was scheduled for Tuesday,
November 18th. The Judge realized
that many Of the jurors, witnesses
and attorneys desired to participate
in the open season for deer and he
postponed court long enough to give
them an opportunity to have their
pleasures gratifed. Judge Risjord
mas their thanks.

The bonds were bought by the null
tiplied thousands of increased saw
ings depositors with their multiplied
millions OF increased saving deposits.
2. By purchasing these bonds the
savings depositors saved the manu-
featuring enterprises from bank
ruptcy and receivership. Since
this would have meant shut-downs,
they at the same time saved own
jobs and pay envelopes.
3. Thus prohibition savings gave
the workmen share in the industry.
4. Since the workers have a vested
share in the industry, there is bound
to be a growing understanding on
the part of labor of the employers
problems IAN da growing respect for
and sympathetic consideration of the
workman's viewpoint on the part of
employers.
5. Prohibition started the nation
on an ice cream spree, increasing
the demand for the demand for Wis
consin's staple, milk. Prohibition
savings started the building revival,
helping the Wisconsin lumber in
dustry land strengthening govern
ment by promoting homecoming.
6. Prohibition has done as much
as the war to put the American dol
lar above par.
Prohibition is the shock-absorber
that saved us while our national
FLYER was humping over the rough
detour of reconstruction. Beer and
wine would be broken spring. Pro-
hibition is an oversize pneumatic
tire. Beer and wine Is the blowout.
That means running on the rim.
Prohibition Is the gas-saver that en-
abled us to get mileage when the
gas supply was short and the quality
poor. Beer and wine means an
open cock in the feed pipe. Moon
shining, bootlegging and rum-run-
ming are just little leaks due to loose
piston rings; yet because of it some
people advocate it's correction by
opening the cock in the feed-pipe
and eliminating the gas-saver entire
| ly. Let's stick to the prohibition
gas-savers; expand the piston rings
to stop the moonshine leak; keep the
beer and wine cock shut; and boycott
the crooked garage that tries to
make business by giving misinforma-
ton to unsuspecting tourists.

THERE must be money in build

length Of time it has taken to build
a new piece of road around the head
Of the bay in Ashland county, for
it has taken months to accomplish a
small piece of work and drivers of
cars have been forced to put their
cars through mud or sand that was

LAST summer the coal operators
and the coal miners had their little
tussle over wages and mines were
shut down for great part of the
season, because one side or the
other would not give in. The
strike was finally settled as between
the coal operators and the miners,
but the public is now called upon to
settle the bill with soft coal at
$12.25 per ton and not a pound of
hard coal to get at any price until a
boat comes in. The miner owners
are going to make the public pay
that little bill with interest, as they
have done in the past and we are
suckers" enough to stand for it.

Hoover and others on Friday afternoon covered
seventy mile circuit of the valley two hours-on

ton difficult

seventy miles in two hours must be regarded
some equine marvel. We know of no such marvel
in the Salt River Valley. The best running record
for 1921 for and eighth miles made by
Gaoer at Belmont Park in minute and forty
nine seconds, record duplicated later in the
by Gray-Lag This time is approximately seventy
miles in two hours but it is one thing to a mile

same of speed through a two-hour course. Be

There is no worthier work than that Of the Y. W.
G. A., other whose performance is needful,
there no other for which so little provision has
been made in Phoenix by the community at large
Noble girls and women have been carrying it
with little aid from the public, we suppose because
they have not made insistent appeal The work Of
the Y. w. c. A. is not charity work. 1t is work of
helpfuIness to those who here not to live upon
the community but to help themselves Many girls
need start and then they will be able to join in the
helpfuness movement which continues in wider and
ever widening circle.
When it is understood what the girls and the
women OF the Y. w. G. A. have accomplished
quietly that the community has not heard Of it. we
win all be reader to aid in extending the Associa

WASHINGTON, Mar. 1S-'I will
play to you of Vienna as she was. ]
cannot play of Vienna as she is today
lit would break your heart. / can
only play at all because of the hope
which may come to Austria If you are
kind" With these plaintive words
Frizt Kreisler prefaced his playing
OF gay Viennese air at a public
mass meeting held here in behalf of
Austria.
The meeting was told that the
$24,O00,000 which America let Austria
have to save her from starvation now
threatens to force her into starvation
in a greater crisis. This paradox is
simply explained. We and other ma
tions let Austria have money for
grain and necessities and we accept
ed as security her assets, including
the state tobacco monopoly, customs
receipts, forests, even her tapestries
and pictures.
Now, Austria has sunk deeper un-
der her difficulties. Whereas five
Austrian crowns were once ex-
changed for an American dollar, now
10000 crowns are needed to balance
our dollar. A loaf of bread costs $500
crowns in Vienna. People in Austria
see no advantage in saving any
money because the longer they save
it the less it will buy.
Starved and in such a financial
state, a nation can scarcely survive
unless 1t can borrow money to start
again on a new financial basis. The
barrier which keeps Austria from
borrowing and instituting a currency
reform Is the lien that the United
States and other nations hold on her
assets. Unless we release our hold
on these assets Austria can have no
security to offer to the British and
American financiers who are willing
to make her loans. This is the des-
perate Austrian situation explained at
the United States is watched as the
the former minister OF finance Of
Austria, and by relief workers.
Now, when other nations are slow
ly or rapidly recovering from the
war. Austria has 100000 children de-
pendent on charity. This army of
children-a greater number than the
population of Vermont or Arizona
has been kept alive mainly by the
Friends Service committee. Relief
organizations are not able to care
fo~ so many charges indefinitely,
however. The Friends who have
worked in many countries Of Europe
say that the Austrian children are
the mist pitiful of all. One seasoned
relief worker finally had TO leave
Vienna. II could stand seeing Rus
sia's tragic need" she said. because
it seemed crisis and we were work
ing toward betterment. But Austria
is slipping back, and her plight is
terrible"
