going ahead with fuel waste suffering
from mine strito and worrying over poor
transportation. In tho face of the fact
that the coal situation becomes moro acute
as years advance. 1t seems strange indeed
That country famous for engineering &C
complishments should ignore This resource
and make practically no progress in hy-
draulic development. Every moving stream
OF appreciablo siZe holds this potential
force, waiting only for man to harness 1t
to begin It's production OF streams of gold,
so to speak. The opportunity is all about
us. So deeply concerned Is DR.. Steinmetz
in awakening public interest in the devel-
opment OF this power that he accepted
nomination for State office Mt tho hands of
The Socialist party in tho recent New York
campaign in order to make this the chief
issue In his bid for votes. What n great
opportunity tho electorate threw away to
put that State to the front in Initiating
movement that would mean so much for
human good when it failed to return him

In respect to accomplishment in the de-
vclopment OF hydraulic power, Canada has
furnished an example in recent years that
ought to arouse the United States from It's
lethargy. Our Northern neighbor boasts of
'''''S d pei capita horsepower develop
heht now exceeded only by Norway, having
risen to that eminent position IN relatively
n brief time. Canada added Al horsepower
TO hor par capita in 1902 against our &c;
in 1912 the Canadian figure was 1913 against
Americas oil; In 1920 the Dominion added
200 and we added but SO. Realizing the
value Of these promotions, the Canadians
are moving much faster With the zeal and
enterprise they are manfcsting It is very
probable Canadian hydraulic power devel-
opment will mako its greatest advance in
the next few years. The American people
need to wake up on this subject.

PRESIDENT HARDNG'S SECOND
SURRENDER

The only real leadership on the
Republican side in this Congress has
been displayed by the Repub-
lican members of the agricultural
bloc" who for the second time have
forced the reactionary administra-
ton and reactionary legislative
group to surrender.
The first surrender of the Presi-
dent and the Old Guard legislators to
the agrarians was In the acceptance
by them of the Democratic amend
ments to the Tax Revision bill, the
most important of which perhaps
was one fixing the maximum surtax
at SO per cent and one of the few
redeeming features of the act.
The second surrender was in fore
ing the acceptance Of q bill to en-
large the Federal Reserve Board to
enable the President to appoint a
farmer as a member of the Board,
which the President promised In adj
vance to do. ~shtt
Whether this sort Of legislation is
generally approved of or not. it DEM
onstrates the power welded by the
so-called agricultural bloc, and the
fear in which the reactionaries hold
that group.
Already there are mutterings Of
dissatisfaction in financial circles
over this latest surrender to the
agrarians. The financial interests
see in this move Of the Federal Re-
serve system, which may result in
weakening the Independent func-
+, tioning of the Federal Reserve Bank.
The Federal Reserve Bank system
is the financial bulwark Of the ma
ton, and its maladministration by
Federal Reserve Board should not
be confused with the merits of the
Federal Reserve Act itself. That act
is well-night perfect, a fact shown
during the World War when it was
tested to the limit. Policies has nc
place or part in it.

HAYS ASSAULTLT ON THE PAR.
GEL POST

No special branch of the govern
ment service is of equal benefit to
the people generally as the parcel
post service. It's growth and devel-
opment have been a great boon es-
pecially rural residents, and the peo-
pie in sparsely settled communities
have come to depend upon it for OBJ
tanning a great variety of supplies,
which prior to it's establishment
venience and expense. 1t is now pro-
posed, with the approval of Post
master General Hays, to cripple If
not to destroy this splendid univer-
sal service by depriving it of its
special delivery feature and re-
stricting the use of the special de-
livery stamp or its equivalent to
first-class mail matter. This, of
course, means the consequent en-
richment of the express company
and an increased transportation tax
upon the consumer.
AS Representative Arthur B.
Rouse (Dem. Ky.) says, it is "a de-
liberate attempt to throttle and
cripple our great parcel post service.
1t rObs the producer, the consumer,
the seller and the buyer Of the splen-
did service they now have and the
bill could not be more in the inter-
est Of the express companies had
they themselves drawn it,"
Postmaster General Hays support
of the bill is based upon his state
ment that the volume of parcel post
matter carrying special delivery
stamps is SO great that it is physi-
cally impossible to treat more ex-
peditiously than ordinary mail
matter, which statement Mr.. Rouse
characterizes as "a humiliating spec
tacle OF inefficiency on the part Of
the Postoffice Department"
With the huge postal deficiency
staring him in the face, it might be
assumed that Postmaster General
Hays would at least wish to retain
the revenues derived from this SER
vice, but still we must remember
that there Is Republican admins
tration and therefore the interest of
the express companies as we'll as
other big corporations must be con-
sidered.

HENRY FORD THE NAN TO DE-
VELOP MUSCLE SHOALS

If a vote of the people could be
taken on whether or not Henry Ford
shall have the Muscle Shoals project
to develop, it would be overwhelm-
ingly in favor of letting him do the
work. But it is easy to see that Sec
rotary Weeks does not want him to
have it.
Why do the people feel thus?
Well, while they look with some in
diligence on Ford's economic and So
Geological views, and even though
out of sympathy with some of them,
they have complete confidence in two
things in him: .lz
First, they believe him to be an
honest man who, when he promises
to make the Muscle Shoals project
blessing to the nation, means it,
and has the engineering basis for
both believing that he can do 1t and
tnv means to carry out his inten-
tons.
Second, they have seen him do en-
cheering, manufacturing and me-
chanical marvels for many years,
and do not believe he is talking any
Wild nonsense when it comes to the
great project Of making a salvage
| for the government at Muscle
| Shoals.
Why then the seeming hesitation
on the part of the secretary?
When all is said and done Ford is
a national problem. He has all sorts
Of irregular ideas and ways. He is
the great outsider in American
business generally to-day. The rich
est man in America, and with the
possible exception of Hugo Shines,
the richest man in the world, max
ing money at the rate of perhaps a
quarter of a million dollars a day,
he does not play the business game
according to the old Wall Street
rules. BY the very nature Of things
such a power as his wealth gives him
must be used. He is showing a ten
dency to spread out. He is already
in the railway game.
The fact is, his achievement is out
doing everybody else in amassing
wealth, without cutting wages, while
enjoying no monopoly, and while
asking no favors of Wall Street,
makes him a creature of sinister i'm
port to the Wall Street crowd. They
wonder at him. And since he re-
turned on them and refinanced him
self at the deflation. period in that
perfectly thrilling way without bow
ing to Wall Street, they fear him.
II he fails to get the concession at
Muscle Shoals, inquire in the neigh
bOrhood of Trinity Church-where
Wall Street. intersects with Broad
way. 1t will be Wall Street which
will keep him from it.
If Wall Street had offered as good
a bargain to the government as Ford
offers, it would have had the con-
tract in its pocket long ago.
