Consider Well the Tree

Augusta, Maine, March II. 1922.
To the Editor of the Kennebec
Journal:
Augustus greatest beauty is its
trees, and sound trees are being re
moved 1t is well to take an expert
opinion upon the condition of tree
and not rely upon the advice of the
man who wants the job of taking it
down.
Few shade trees are being set out,
and our great elms represent the
growth of so or 90 years. Let us keep
them as long as we can.
1t may be contended that a tree is
entirely the property Of its owner,
yet we all share in the beauty and
shade.

MONDAY, MARCH 10TH

Is election day for Congressman
from the Third Maine District. We
are still facing our ancient enemy.
the Democratic Party. We know
tina; their voters come to the polls
without urging from their Demo-
cratic Town Committee.
1t is for you as Republican to
come TO the polls next Monday and
81 cast your vote for our Republican
candidate for Congress.
Hon. John Z. Nelson is our candi-
date and he is ideally fitted for the
position. He knows the needs of the
Third Maine District. His policies
are the ones you believe in and he
has the courage and ability to stand
for those policies and help to uphold
them.
We as a committee and you as a
Republican do not want it said that
the Republican voters of
are not awake to the importance of
this special election. Much depends
ION the outcome. If the Democrats
our vote in numbers it will
mean that we will have one of the
hardest fights OF our existence to
elect our full ticket next September
at the regular election. 1t is for your
interest to register your choice.
Think 1t over. 1t is "up to you"
This is a real fght-a Republican
against n Democrat. This is the vote
that determines whether the Hon.
John +. Nelson will represent you in
Congress. or Democrat, whose poll
cies will be governed by the Demo-
cratic caucus controlled by Southern
Democrats whose interests are not
those OF our good State Of Maine.
Remember it is Monday the goth
that will decide this matter, and come
to the polls early.
Yours very respectfully,

ton Of including the steam power

as requested by Mr.. Ford, or of per-
hitting the Alabama Power Co. to

with reference to the conten-
ton about the Gorgas steam plant.
it said, 1--WE feel that we can make
little comment. Mr.. Ford has ad-
vised our committee that If smy re-
vised offer for Gorgas Is rejected,
than Unjust understand that the ac-5
4ceptance Of my offer for Muscle
Shoals as a whole and not in part
is refused
therefore, believing as we do
that the United States mas every
right in the world to accept Mr..
Ford's offer for Gorgas, and since
Mr.. Ford's offer will stand reject
ed unless his proposal for Gorgas
is accepted, we have no difficulty
in deciding what ought to be done.
We are not unmindful of the inter
ests OF the Alabama Power Co., but
as amatter of duty, we are more
mindful Of the interests Of the gov
eminent at Muscle Shoals. The,
Alabama Power Co.. desires Gorgas
as an auxiliary to its weterpowe-
development. and Mr.. Ford desires
Gorgas as an auxiliary to Muscle

Mr. Ford,sS agreement to sell fer

an earnest OF the general policy
that he may be expected to adopt
at Muscle Shoals.
.4The Muscle Shoals project de-

contribute to the advancement of
American industry by Introducing
a plan of waterpower development
which provides the means whereby
|hydrcelectric power ultimatel may
be had in the United States as
cheaply as in the more naturally
favored countries SUCH Us Canada
and Norway
.eSince a hydroelectric plant
costs a great deal to construct and
but little to operate, there Is tea
ture of hydroelectric power econoin-
les. well known to those IN the busi-
ness that the general public does
not appreciate. When the itea:s
which go to make UP thu cost OF
hydrGeIectric power at the switch
board of the generating station aTs
examined, it is found that und..r
the conditions Of Econstruc elton and
financing existing in the United
States, the single item Of interest
on the Investment constitutes so
per cent or more Of the cost of tia
power.
..Mr. Ford proposes tc eliminate
the interest by amortizing and re-
turning the investment, through
the operation of a 1ong-time sinking
fund, He therefore provides a SCI
les OF payments which, when &is.-
vested in a sinking fund at as low
a rate of interest as 4 IA per cent
will return the entire cost of boIn
dams, including the s..7000,OG0 nj.
ready expended by thu government.
This eliminates the aoital charges
and Interest and ultimately reduces
the cost of power. to The mers cost
Of operation and maintenance,
which in large plant is from $1.00
to $500 per horsepower per year.
or less than one-half Of one mill
per kilowatt hour. Under this plan
the bonded Indebtedness on wa
terpower development is reduced
instead of being increased as is the
customary procedure in refinanc-
ing operations.

Development Of Value
'Mr. Ford'S offer will result in a
development whose national value
can only be compared with the ac-
complishment at Niagara Falls. =
the report continued The appll-
cations OF electrochemistry and
e1ectrometalIursy have made the
Niagara Falls hydro-electric devel-
opmcnts successful, and in the same
way 1t will take the skill Of the
chemist and the meta1lurgist,-to to-
gether with that of the hydroelectric
engineer with ample capital to de-
yelop the full possibilities at Mus
Gle Shoals, where, due to the fluc-
tuating flow OF the stream, the
problems are greater than those en-
countered at Niagara Falls
"To. compel Mr.. Ford to state
just what the operations at Muscle
Shoals will be and just what they
will produce, is either to limit the
possibilities of the project and Grip
ple its future usefulness or else it
is to ask Mr.. Ford to do the impos-
sible No one could have foretold

t.To our minds the evidence is
convincing that there are modern
electro-ch emica1 processes which.
applied at Muscle Shoals will re-
ducs the cost Of fertilizers, but if
there is any doubt on that score the
United States should stay out OF
the business.
"NIr. Ford has agreed to pursue
a plan of research and to adopt the
results from his Investigations
which will compel him to introduce
the lest availabl methods, and he
has the necessary capital to do so.
we, therefore, believe that
amone the costly problems which
Mr.. Ford will have to solve at Mus
Gle Shoals, will be the selection of
the most economical nitrogen fixa-
ton process, and therefore it. ia
conceivable that Mr.. Ford will be
Obliged to either redesign Nitrate
Plant No. 2 and possibly scrap ana
rebuild the entire nitrogen process
equipment.
.eNow, since Henry Ford has the
cash and has offered to spend it to
meet these contingencies and dan
gerous financial risks as we here
describe, then, speaking for our.
selves, we are willing to let him
have chance to do it, but we are
not willing for the United States to
have the opportunity to engage in
any such speculative industrial ven
lures"
"A fair consideration Of all the
facts the report declared, leads
Enthusiastically to the conclusion that
under the Ford offer the cost of
fertilizer, delivered to the farmer
can be materially reduced"
The report added that from the
present fertilizer industry the farm
| er might expect but little in the re-
duction Of prices
| These interests even declined
the opportunity to use the govern
ment,,s nitrate plants free Of cost
to them. and to be allowed without
paying the government a penny for
the use of, them to earn nine per
cent on their invested operating
capital before paying the govern
ment anything, and after nine per
cent was earned, additional profits

argued. Muscle Shoals could be de-

Gwen those of us who are in ia
