Flivver King Offers Only
Five Million for IS Mil

publican Report.
BIDS MISLEADING;

Country Little Understands
What Proposals Are All
About, He Asserts.

WASHINGTON. - Henry Ford's of.
fer to purchase and lease the govern
ment's power and nitrate. projects at
Muscle Shoals, Ala, was attacked to-
day in report to the house prepared
by Representative Kearns, republican,
Ohio. signed by several other republi-
can members of the house military
committee. The report declared dis
satisfaction with opinions already pre-
sented to the house by other members
or the committee and announced that
the signers were determined to tell 1.-THE
people the real facts about Muscle
Shoals, and the so.called Ford offer.
Declaring the belief that the country
little understands what il is that Mr.
Ford Is offering to do. or what, if any
thing, he is offering for this grea
plant the signatories first denounce:
what they describe as "one of the mos
insldduous propagandas that the ma
ton has witnessed for many u day.
Reports Misleading.
Many OF the Ford advocates, the re
port says, are honest and conscien
tious, but have been misled as to fact.
of the offer. In this connection
points to a provision by which fertile
ers would be manufactured and say
! that despite persistent reports tha
he will compel the fertilizer manufac
turers OF the country to sell their pre-
duct at one-half of what they are nov
selling it," Mr.. Ford does not agre
to make fertilizers at all unless he cal
make them with a profit to himself"
The committeeman declare this is
hollow promise made to enlist tn
support of the farmer and not founde
on any fact either contained in tn
| contract or existing outside the cor
tract" and charge that propagandist
fail TO tell the people that the prir
| cipal business of Mr. Ford should h
get this gigantic plant, would be tn
manufacturing of other articles, whic
he would be allowed to sell at any pric
that he might see fit"
Propaganda Is Charged
"The only thing that is kept by tn
republic" the report continues, Il
that he is to make fertilizer and Sc
ii cheaply TO the farmer only chargin
for himself a profit OF eight per cen
| on the production. No one has eve
suggested how he could make fertilizer
and sell them cheaply or what mean
he would employ. The bold claim
made, and congress and the countr
must take the statement as absolut
truth or be forever condemned by thi
crowd OF wicked propagandists."

An old adventurer who passed away
in Australia at the age of ninety-four,
was the only man I've known, says n
correspondent, to put bagpipes to a
useful purpose. After being captured
when the Eureka stockade fell. lie
joined the Victoria police, and was
largely responsible for the capture of
the bushranger "Jewboy." He was then
appointed second-in-command of an
expedition that set out to find traces
of Leichardt (another bushranger)
and he used to tell that one day the
party was surprised by 200 natives,
with hostile intent. whereupon one Nc
Intosh yelled: "The pipes, Charlie, the
pipes-while we retreat" The old ad-
venturer played the pipes-and the
natives were so mystified that they
stood open-mouthed while the party
marched off.
