REPUBLICAN HYPOCRITES TAKE
LINCOLN'S NAME IN VAIN

ABRAHAM LINCOLN was looked upon as a rube by
the high society in Washington when President
of the United States.
This to his credit, as it indicates that he was in
sympathy with the common people. The fapdoodle of
high society nothing him they thought him
rube he thought them a bore His mind occupied
with more important duties, and he preferred SIM

Lincoln warned the people against the COM

The appropriation bill for the De-

consideration In the house on January
Both. 1920. The secretary Of agricul-
ture had been recommending for Eve
or six years that Doctor Howard's
salary be increased from $500 to $5,-
600. He proposed 1t again in that
years bill. When the item was reached
in the discussion on the floor, this COL
loquy ensued:

Mr.. Lever-Yes; he has been in the gov

Mr.. Lever-I concede It.

gentleman reserve his point of order?
Mr.. Stafford-I will reserve it
Mr.. McLaughlin-The committee made
the recommendation to increase the SAL
ary $500 took testimony on 1t and con-
sidered 1t very carefully. In our judg-
ment the increase in salary ought to be
made for an official who has been in the
department. as the chairman says, for a
long time at the head of this bureau He
has performed able and faithful services
The salary is less than that paid to the
heads of other bureaus. We felt. after
listening to all that was said. and with a
knowledge of the work he has been doing
and has done. the salary proposed is not
too large.
Mr.. Stafford-How long has he been

Mr.. Lever-He has been there forty-two

Maybe so But let's not be in a hurry. My private
opinion is that could put in his left all he

find himself despdiled of his heritage from Mother
Nature.
Why is Fall anxious? Perhaps because he has

represents folks who want much more.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Accent.
'ance OF Henry Ford's offer for pur-
chase and lease of the governments
vast nitrate and water power projects
dI muscle Shoals, Ala. was urged bv
republican and Democratic senators
comprising minority of the Senate
agriculture committee in a report sub
united today TO the senate. Strong
protest was entered by the senators
against the acceptance of the govern
ment ownership and operation plan
proposed by Senator Norris, of Ne
Oraska, the committees chairman.
Inc report was presented by Sena-
Tor Laid, Republican, North Dakota.
In behalf of the Ford proponents on
the committee whose signatures were
attached
me belief was expressed that every
member of the senate would agree
with the committee minority with ref
erence to the acceptance of Mr.. lFord's
proposal when they consider the
present fuel and transportation emer-
gencies" in the light of "deveIopment
OF such great hydro-electric power as
is found at Muscle Shoals" adding
that 1t is the only certain and perma-
nent relief in the future from the
present paralysis of American indus
try"
The report called attention to
charges that acceptance of Mr.. Ford's
tender would give him a government
subsidy in the development of power
and the manufacture of fertilizer and
said
Claims Offer Subsidy
1t has been claimed that the Ford
offer constitutes a subsidy to Mr..
Ford. If it is a subsidy, it is not such
a subsidy as is proposed by the ad-
mlnlstration in the Ship Subsidy BILL

try by development of the Shoals prop

ed, will include a large scale produc-
ton of fertilizer produced under the
most favorable manufacturing condi-
tons, maintained abreast of progress
lin an art that is developing rapidly.
and which will reduce the cost of fer
tilizer''
After reviewing conflicting testimo-
ny taken by the committee on the
question of how much present fertil-
1zer costs could be reduced at Muscle
Shoals, the report asserted:

ACCEPTA OF FORDS MUSCLE SHOALS
OFFER URGED IN SENATE MINORITY REPORT

vincing that there are modern electro
chemical processes which, applied at
Muscle Shoals, will reduce the cost
of fertilizers, but if there is any doubt
on that score the United States should
stay out of the business.
Mr.. Ford has agreed to pursue n
plan of research and to adopt the re-
suits from his Investigations which
will compel him 10 introduce the best
available methods. and he has the
necessary capital to do so.
I'VE. therefore, believe that among
the costly problems which Mr.. Ford
will have to solve at Muscle Shoals,
viii be the selection of the most eco
nomica1 nitrogen fixation process, and
therefore it is conceivable that MI
Ford will be obliged to either rede-
sign nitrate plant No and possibly
scrap and rebuild the entire nitrogen
process equipment"
