Ford and Muscle Shoals

We believe it Is impossible to over
stress the Importance to the south and
to the country at large of the accep-
lance by the government of a propo-
sition from Henry Ford for the Muscle
Shoals property and all that is in
YOlyed in that.
Mr.. Ford has proven himself to be
one of the greatest business gentuses
Of this or any other age; he has
wrought marvels, almost miracles, in
the creation of an industry which has
enormously added to the comfort and
transportation facilities Of millions of
Americans; he has met and overcome
every. difficulty, financial and other
wise despite the gigantic influences
that have been at work to try to wreck
him financially. At the present time
many of the influences with others
added are seeking in every way posi-
BILE to misrepresent Mr.. Ford's propo
sition, TO distoft it, to belittle 1t, and
to damn it in the eyes of the public.
For years they sought to belittle the
Muscle Shoals proposition and the
river transportation involved in its
Improvement. They now seek to mag
Nifty it's Importance and try to convince
the country that for the government to
accept Ford's proposition would be to
rob the people of a vast potentially,
for the individual benefit of Ford.
Some months ago a representative Of
one of the leading opponents of the
Fo.d offer urgently sought the coop
Grafton Of the Manufacturers Record
10 fight tho Ford proposition. Many
of the statistics then presented against
the acceptance of the Ford offer have
since been anonymously published in
n' "arts of the country. This cow
ardly, anonymous propaganda against
t..o Ice pL.-nIe OF ora OIter has
been widespread, devious. underhand
and contemplate in the extreme. It
is entirely safe for the government so
to safeguard d contract as TO insure
the carrying out of the Ford offer by
the promises he is willing to make and
this would mean the adding Of many
hundreds of millions of dollars to the
wealth Of the south and the stimula
ton to degree little dreamed Of now,
Of the utilization of southern resources.
Vast as would be the individual
work OF Mr.. Ford with the cooperation
of Mr.. Edison, two of the greatest wiz
ards of finance and invention which
the world has ever known, these op-
Grafton would serve to stimulate other
interests to take part in southern de-
velopment to the enormous profit of
the entire country.
We believe that every interest that
is fighting the Ford proposition is
based on a selffshness so bound1ess
that it has not one spark of patriotism
in it An overwhelming public senti-
ment in favor of Ford's proposition
should be aroused throughout the en-
tire country in order that the selfish.
self -centered, money grabbing inter-
ests which are fighting it may not be
successful in their dastardly work

drinking had reused suddenly raising

He had put the glass down. but as
he advanced coward me his fist was
raised threateningly. I had a sudden
sickening conviction that the man
meant to strike me, and a shrill scream
from Katie covering behind me told
me that she, too, read the mans sinls-
ter purpose.
And then a whirlwind entered the
Kitchen from the outside door, q whirl
wind all arms and shoulders it seemed
, to me as I leaned brea thless and faint
against the door leading to the dining
room and saw William Trumbuil, his
eyes cleaning with the lust of battle,
leap upon the tall figure of my erst-
while landlord.
The conflict which followed will
never he sung by sagas. but it was
n notable one for all that The men
were of about the same age. In stature
and bulk Mr.. Brennan outmstched
William TrumbuIl, yet his endurance
had been Iessened by his Incorporate
habits, while every inch OF williams
squat frame was toughened bone and
sinew.
Both men were evidently in the
frame Of mind best described as
spelling tor a fight" but while Mr..
Brennan's face bore simply the grim
determination to win the battle. there
was a look in william Trumbulrs US
ually chiId-like blue eyes that made
me tremble with an unnamed terror.
For if ever mans eyes spelled
murder, his did. And when finally af-
ter the men had ragged up and down
the kitchen they carried their conflict
through the open door into the yard,
and I saw them fan to the ground to-
gether. Mr.. Brennan underneath, ran
toward them. blindly hoping that /
would be able to get William to reIe> Sc
the hold which 1 saw he had on the
other mans throat
But fortunately Jim drove into the
yard at that moment, Jim, who was "A

BLOCKING THE BONUS

Secretary Mellon is of e same
opinion still on the subject of a sol
di@rs' bonus. He is frankly opposed to
it on the ground that the country can
not at present afford to pay it. What
he has to say of the method of financ-
ing the proposed bonus is perhaps of
more interest than his opposition to
the bill. since the latter was already
fairly we'll known.
The secretary warns congress and
the soldiers against placing their de-
pendence for money with which to pay
g bonus on the country's foreign loans
This plan OF financing was said to
have been credited to Senator Lodge
though numerous democrats, in and
out of congress, are also supporting it.
Some Of this may be for the purpose
OF embarrassing the republicans
There are numerous obstacles in the
way of utilizing our foreign bills pay
able for the payment of q bonus or any
other matter requiring large financing.
Some of these have been indicated in
our editorial columns. To make a long
story short, however, the prospect Of
realizing anything of consequence on
these debts is exceedingly remote. This
may not be a palatable situation, but Il
would as we'll be faced.
!, AS the secretary flatly puts it, If
soldier bonus is provided the taxpay-
ers may prepare to foot the bill y
sales tax has been suggested, but Mr.
Mellon does not encourage this. There
is even a doubt of whether congress
would pass a sales tax. He discards

practicable in that it would interfere

these is practically upon us, little
more than twelve months now being
available for it's accomplishment. No
financial transaction OF such masni-
tude was ever carried through in a
time OF peace. However. there are n
great many just reasons for the bonus,
