FORD |S.RATED
RICHEST MAN IN
/. ENTIRE WORLD
Wall st. journal Claims His
Fortune, II Capitalized. Ex-
ceeds All Others.
by Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-"HenIy y
Ford has in the Ford Motor Con-
pany the largest income and, II cap
italized, the largest fortune in the
world" the Wall Street Journal say $
In a leading article today.
Profits before taxes for 1922 will
exceed $125, 200, 900. After taxes they
viii be s110, 900 900, about 500 y
car. With these earnings, the Ford
Motor Company could be capitalized
at $4,000, ,000,0 900 and pay per cent
on that capital.
Ford condemns bankers, but wit h
$lS0,OO0,000 cash he himself is the
largest individual banker in this
country, II not in the world. Micii-
gan sugar beet growers and automo-
Gle manufacturers have little need
Tor such a stupendous sum and only
few millions are banked in Detroit.
wall street.-the finance of the coun-
try-absorbs the other millions and
Ford accumulated profits expand and
multiply with Wall street assistance.
2 Earns Huge Interest.
I'm his newspaper interviews
Ford says that Wall Street and the
gold standard have outlived their
Usefulness, but his millions flow
through to Wall Street at 4 per
cent to bring his company a possible
S,200,0O0 gold standard money an
nually in interest. This is more
than Sc for every car he produces.
Even a Republican Congress
unites to add to the Ford wealth.
The company paid more than $780,
100000 in Federal taxes in. 1921.
Because of the abolition of the ex-
cess profits levy, It will pay only
$16,000,000 in 1922. The Fords are
$34.000,000 richer, though IL they
were to draw the riches out, they
would pay more than SO per cent
additional in personal income taxes.
so Ford continues to pile up
IN his business the millions which
find their way into Wall street.
His replacement parts business Is
30 profitable that he could chop
off his manufacturing profit Of
probably $50 car and make more
than s15,oo0,oo0 annually, or $14
on each car produced from the sale
of parts necessary to keep the mil
lions of Fords now on the roads
In running condition.
He could distribute this $14 as
q bonus to his workmen and still
make the Sc car profit from
interest.
But he is now selling at cost
He is holding on to profits from
interest, parts and cars: $5S .000, 900
In the record ten months ended
last February, despite the heavy
taxes: $110, ,0O0. 900 in all probability
after taxes in 1922.

COMMITTEE MAKES
DIVIDED REPORT.
THREE PROPOSALS AS TO FORD
OFFER
One Accepts With Elimination of
Gorgas Plant and Another
Includes
Hugh w. Roberts in The State.

Hugh w. Roberts IN The State.
Washington, Junne 8.-The house
committee on military affairs COM
pleted its work on Muscle Shoals this
afternoon when the members, having
been unable to agree, prepared three
reports bearing on the Henry Ford
offer.
The three reports, it is understood,
will be submitted to the house tomor-
row at noon, and Immediately there
after released for publication.
The first of these reports will be
that of the COMMITTEE" submitted
by Acting Chairman Mckenzie on
authority of a majority of the mem
bers. 1t will recommend the accep-
tance of the Ford offer with the Cor
gas steam plant of the government
eliminated. 1t is entirely unaccept-
able to Ford.
The second will be the report OF
the minority members, practically all
of them Democratic. 1t will be sub
mitted by Representative Wright OF
Georgia, and will bear the signature
of Representative Stoll of South Car
olina and other Democrats. 1t will.
recommend the acceptance of the,
Ford offer with the Gorgas plant in
cluded. 1t is entirely acceptable to
Ford. He is willing to bear the brunt
of litigation to be instituted by the
Alabama Power company in the event
the minority report is adopted.
The third will be submitted by
Representative Parker Of New Jersey.
1t will bear at least one other sigma
ture. 1t will recommend that rejec-
tion of the Ford offer Oh the ground
that it would BE Improbable for the
government to expend $60,000,000
in completing the dams for the gen
Grafton of the greatest waterpower In
the United States for the operation
of the private enterprises of one indi-
vidual.
1t is indicated that the divergence
of the views of the members of the
committee will bring about an identi-
cal situation in the house. The situa-
ton for a long tine will be chaotic,
it is indicated. The result of the
fight is doubtful, although Ford's Sup
porters are apparently optimistic.

defense, betrayed far more emotion
in conducting the hearig than Bigham
ever manifested. Mr.. King impress
ed his audience deeply that he does
believe Bigham is an innocent man.
But the facts presented by the So
licitor, l. N. Gasque, weighed against
him. Considering the letters and sig
natures, which were alleged to have
been written by Smiley, for whose
murder Edmund is sentenced to die,
to Edmund while the latter was in
Georgia, the court stated frankly he
doubted their authenticity. He prac-
tically as good as said they were
frauds and forgeries.
Bigham began to show the strain
of the trial for his life when the So
licitor in the afternoon took the floor
to argue against giving him new
trial on the alleged after discovered
evidence. First, he turned almost
livid white. Later, under the stress
of taking the sentence of death, he
turned &shen in color. As the judge
pronounced the date Of execution.
his jaw dropped. AS the case went
on, evidently with diminishing hope
for the defense, Bigham seemed to
take on desperate, haunted look.
It was the first betrayal Of any
feeling in the matter that has escaped
him, in word or appearance, since the
trial more than a year ago.

PRIMAR FICh
IN NORTH OAK.
Republican Leaders Anxious for
Senator's Victory Over
Lynn Frazier.

Washington, D. C.-The eyes Of po-
litical Washington are conferred upon
the North Dakota primary. in which
Porter J. McCumber, chairman Of the
Senate finance committee, is facing a
terrific struggle for denomination.
While the word which has been COM
ing into the East from the FLICKER
tail' state has been none too encour-
aging, Republican leaders are still hop
ing that McCumber will win the
nomination against Lynn J. Frazier,
former governor.
There is no disregarding the fact
that there is great anxiety over the
situation among leaders on the Repub-
lican isde in the Senate.
Various Eastern papers are giving
much space to the North Dakota con-
test For instance, a special dispatch
to The New York Herald from Fargo,
states that the betting in North Da-
kota, is even money and shading to six
to five that McCumber will go down to
defeat. The Washington Herald prints
dispatch which predicts that the con-
test will be extremely close.
