ALUMINIUM WHEEL MANUF LECTURERS
 TOB|D ON SHOALS
rops@ Still in Tentative i. 7ut Will Be Com se Led and Submitted
 at Early Date
By AssocIated Press

Washington, April 22.-R. R. Grant of Elizabeth, N. J., president of the Aluminium Wheel Company of America, announced after confer ence with war department officials here today that he would formally submit an offer for development of the governments properties at Mus cle Shoals. His proposal, he said, was yet in a tentative form, but would be written in completed draft as soon as the projects could be in- spected and certain basic data ob- tained from government officials in the war department and at the army engineers office at Florence.
 Mir. Grant left for Norfolk, Va. to- night to confer there with fertilizer in the Alabama properties. Depend ing upon the result of the Norfolk visit. he said, he would either go di- rect to Atlanta, Birmir gham. or Flor ence, to continue his preparation and collection of data. He expected to have the formal proposal ready for delivery to Secretary Weeks by May 1. provided the ordnance. quarter master and engineer bureaus of the war department give it their indorse- ment when 1t is put into finished form.
 Provides for Corporation
 My plan calls for the creation of a government controlled corporation. MT. Grant said. When that is ac- complished, I suggest as It's first act the mortgaging of the properties in order to make an immediate return to the government for the investment it already has made"
 Later" he continued, "a second mortgage would be arranged and se- curities sold for the raising of money needed to bring the projects to a com pleted stage of construction and op- eration, including the hydro-eiectric units proposed and the nitrate plants. In that way the projects can be de- veloped without imposing any addi- tional burden on the federal treasury and. at the same time, giving it an immediate return of the money it ai- ready has sunk in the various works sat Muscle Shoals is+ss <
 Further financial returns would h8 made to the government, Mir. Grant continued. through the sale of ferti- lizers and aluminium products manu- factured at the plants. His proposal will include the leasing of the ni- trate plants and power projects to the Aluminium Wheel company for a period of 25 years. Mir. Grant said It was not proposed to sell any of the L others to be constructed, 1t was eR- plained, as the full amount generated would be required in the operation of manufacturing establishment.
 provision guaranteeing the re- turn of the projects to the govern ment for use in time of emergency also would be made q part of the proposal Mir. Grant said. and the right given the corporation to sus- pend the lease for such government needs as the emergency might bring about,

POSTPONE CASES
Meridian Attorney Claims SearcI
 Warrants Were Defective

Meridian. April s2.-(speciaI.)- Cases scheduled to be tried in Justice Clay's court against about 20 alleged violators of the prohibition laws by having whisky in their possession and making sales of whisky. the charges having been made by federal prohibi- ton agents in q wholesale raid con ducted in this city last Saturday as the continuation of several weeks work on the part of secret agents sent here by Federal Prohibition Di- rector Daily, have been indefinitely postponed and may never come to trial in state court. The defend- ants. however. will probably be tried in the federal court in September.
 Attorney Charles B. Cameron, rep resenting one of the defendants in the police court. contended that the search warrant of the prohibition agents who searched the home of the defendant and are alleged to have found quantity of whisky, was de- fectiye in so far as the state court was concerned. He cited 8 recent state me court decision to the
 fore the home of q cit-
 searched warrant
 ue procured from the legal state authorities in the county where in the crime Is supposed to have been committed, and contended that the search warrant in this particular case was secured by the federal agents from federal commissioner in Jack son, Kinds county, and therefore under the decision the prosecution could not proceed in state court.
 In the face of this contention, how ever, the defendant was fined $50.5o In the police court, but when the same was to have been tried in the justice court on the same offense his case and that of others raided on the same day as the result of similar search warrants were continued with out date at the request of the states attorney.

GOVERNMENT IN BUSINESS

Socialists who dream of an econom-
ic millennium when the country's in
dustries are put into the govern
ment's hands can find little to sup
port their proposition in the govern
ment's management of the mail-car-
rying business. The Postoffice De-
partment is and has been sufficiently
efficient to justify the system, but all
or nearly all efforts to make it pay
expenses have failed. At one time,
after the zone system was introduced
in the earlier part of the Wilson re-
gime, we heard that the postoffice
was paying expenses. but the reform
mentioned was bitterly and persistent
ly attacked by big magazine publica
tions that wanted tons of their output
hauled to California at the same rate
charged for hauling points within
their own States in the good old way.
Now we have Postmaster-General
Works first annual report showing
deficit for the fiscal year of $60,815,-
400, without suggestion as to how to
reduce costs and bring about the
regard to the railway mail service he
reports "more efficient ALLEGATION Of
the work and the elimination Of
transportation services which was I'M
necessary"
It is interesting to recall that it
was for this very elimination" that
former Postmaster General Burleson
was so severely criticised. In regard
to DR.. Works policy in the matter of
personnel an editorial in the Novem-
Der number of the paper published by
the Railway Mail Clerks Association,
showing dissatisfaction in branch of
the service the morale of which was
popularity supposed to have been de-
stroyed by Burleson and restored by
Will Hays, reads in part as follows:
without exaggeratIon it may be
said that present service and working
conditions in the railway mail service
are worse than they were during the
Burleson administration. While il is
true that certain amount of this is
due to economic pressure, yet there
are many things that could be re-
lieved by administrative action"
The Service and working condi-
tons" under Work may or may not be
"worse" than under Burleson, but we
may rest assured that under anybody
or any party they would be the sub
ject of criticism. In conducting any
business the Government is inevita-
bly, more handicapped in various ways
than is private concern. Powerful
interests commanding both influence
and votes insist on favoring consid-
GRAFTON. Inevitably the governments
handling of the business is attacked
by partisans for party gain. Inevita-
bly, the great army of employees are
too often more interested in politics
than in. efficiency. Inevitably the
people think that the governments
service should be cheap, for getting
that the government must tax them
in order to make it so. Then there is
the demoralizing effect of the spoils
system which persists in spite of civil
service reform rules. In a word, any
business conducted by the government
suffers in consequence of the fact that
it can not be divorced from politics"

According to the statistician of the

this country have increased to ian
unheard Of extent in the experience
Of civilized mankind, there are more
murders among negroes than among
whites proportionately. and twelve Of
the seventeen cities showing change
for the worse in 1921 are in the
Northern States. Sentimentalities to
the contrary, the only real check pos
ssble is to be found in more prompt,
certain and severe punishment.
