Mr.. Ford and the farmers he must rep

Parsons may know what he is talking

is wrong. If what NJ. Parsons says IS
true the fertilizer manufacturers are
wrong. If the fertilizer manufacturers

TELEPHONE BILL
Statement That the Governor Would
Sign Not Official.

Declaring that reports published In
some newspapers that Governor Cooper
had announced that he would sign the
Foster telephone rate bill, were incor-
rect, w. j. Thackston, yice-president
of the South Carolina telephone users
association, yesterday issued a state
ment relative to .the situation OF the
act at this time. Mr.. Thackston ex-
pressed regret that this report was not
official r.
Inquiry at the governors office, he
said, contradicted the statement allud-
ed to and was TO the effect that the
governor had set April 4th as a date
for his hearing as to whether or not
he would sign this bill or veto it.
Those in charge of the fight can see
no good reason for this hearing except
as courtesy" said Mr.. Thackston, as
the governors office is not the proper
place to determine questions Of rates
as his signature TO this bill will not
deprive the Southern Bell Telephone
Company of recourse to commission or
courts as that privilege is specifically
accorded TO them in the bill before the
governor for approval.
"It will deny the people Of this state
the cooperation and assistance, which
they have a right to expect in matters
of this kind, from the attorney gen.
erals office. 1t is conclusive of those
in charge of the work, that this Is the
main reason why they wanted the. gov
ernor to veto this bill. 1t rests with
the governor entirely whether or not he
will deprive the people generally OF
this state of this right.
"This statement is made in order
that those interested will see the full
purpose on the part of the Telephone
Company in their attempt to persuade
the governor to veto the bill,
"There are other reasons too why
those in charge Of the fight are appeal
ing to the governor.
Telephone subscribers and others
interested in the fight are therefore
urged to assert their views and rights
and to make known through letter,
telegram or otherwise, to the governor.
IF there are those that want addi-
tional information upon which they
can base their objection to this rather
unusual proceeding, they can call at
the office of the local chairman, who
will put them in possession of a great

trial power TO q minimum and thus,
through better service, make possible
higher standard of living for all peo-
pie, at a greatly reduced cost-they
never again will submit to the propo-
sition that to get power they must pay
tribute to Wall Street.
A Potential Example.
"All the people need to catch the
idea is an example. A potential ex-
ample lies at Muscle Shoals. In a
sense the destiny of the American peo-
pie for centuries to come lies there on
the Tennessee river, because who ever
controls nations power controls that
nations people.
Americas power today is dependant
on the steam power OF coal. The great
private financiers own the bulk of the
country's coal mines. These financiers,
centered in Wall street, have strange
hold on the industry and transporta-
tion of the country.
"If Muscle Shoals is developed along
unselfsh lines it will work SO splend-
idly and so simply that in no time
hundreds of other water power de-
velopments will spring up all over the
country and the days OF American in
dustry paying tribute for its power
would be gone forever. Every human
being in the country would reap the
benefit. I am consecrated to the priri-
ciple of freeing American. industry. All
I want is chance at Muscle Shoals,
and if It's the last thing 1 do on this
earth III fight for that chance"
Fight Asainst Him.
In speaking of the fight being waged
against him on the Muscle Shoals pro-
iect, Mr. Ford said; -.
Work should be going on at the
shoals all this spring and summer be-

Asked if he believed that congress
would lease the property to him he
said:
"All have to say to that is that
have great faith in the sound Judgment
of the American people and trust that
they will not stand silent and let Wall
street put anything over on their rep
resentatives at Washington. 1 am not

Mr.. Ford declared he had no doupt
but that the government had the power
to give him clear title to the Muscle

FIGHT FOR MUSCLE SHOALS
Henry Ford Says it is a Battle With
Wall Street.

Declaring that "if it's the last thing
I do in this world I'll exert every re-
source and influence at my command
to keep the hands of Wall, Street on
Muscle Shoals" Henry Ford on Fri
day broke his silence maintained dur
ing the last two months with regard TO
his offer to; lease and operate the gov
ernment water power project in Ala
bama.
Mr.. Ford made the statement to the
Detroit News in response to an intima
ton reaching him to the effect that,
because Of his silence. the people OF
southern states had begun to wonder
whether he had lost interest in the
project. .., ...i ~

Ford said, that Wall Street will have
no part either in financing or operat-

gion Of the present day Yakimas and
to the other the Willamette valley.
To insure peace between the two peo-
pies the chief god raised high noun
tains, but so they might be friendly, he
threw a great stone bridge across the
Wanna" (Columbia) river. This
bridge the Indians called "Tamahna-
wos," bridge of the gods. A witch wo-
man lived on it and to her was en-
trusted all the fire in the world. After
intercession with the chief of the gods
she won permission to build a great
fire on the bridge to which both tribes
might come and light their fagots. This
act so pleased the chief god that he
transformed the witch woman into a
beautiful maiden.
No sooner did the two chiefs behold
her than they fell victims to her Won
drous charm and set their people TO
battle so they might win her hand.
Then the god was wrathful. He de-
stroyed the bridge. But so the maid
and her lovers might be beautiful In
death as in life he created three noun
tains with snow capped peaks. He who

Northwest Territory Receiving More

Northwest Territory Receiving More
Attention from the Government.
1t is the intention of the department
of commerce. to send party, headed
by Assistant Secretary C. II. Huston, to
Alaska this summer for the purpose Of
making general investigation of con-
ditions in which that department is
particularly interested. The Bureau Of
Fisheries, the Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey, Lighthouse service and the Steam
boat Inspection service are the bureaus
of the Department of Commerce which
are closely identified with the affairs OF
the territory. 1t is the purpose to, de-
termine in what ways these bureaus
can be made of greater benefit in de-
veloping Alaska. - ',.''t
Particular attention will be devoted
to the salmon fisheries of the territory,
which yield products of an average an
nual value of about S40,000,000 and in
normal seasons give employment to up
wards of 10000 persons and represent
an investment OF about S7O,O00,0 ,00o",.
It will be the purpose also to observe
conditions in respect to the fur seal in.
dustry at the Prihilof islands, which
work is administered by the Depart
tnent of Commerce through the Bureau
Of Fisheries. The American fur-seal
herd resorts to the Pribilof Islands for
breeding purposes, and each year some
of the surplus male seals are killed
there and the pelts subsequently dis
posed Of for the account of the govern
ment. In the season Of 1921 there were
taken 23,G71 seaiskins from the herd,
which numbered 5S1,453 animals. The
annual censuses of the herd show sat
isfactory growth each year, the net in
crease being about per cent after de-
Quoting those killed.
The skins are dressed, dyed and ma
chined, and sold at public auction
through the departments selling agents
at st. Louis, and the proceeds are COW
cred into the treasury Of the United
States. On the average the sealskins
yield the government about $l,oOVooO
to s2,OOO,OOO annually.

foxing operations on the Pribilof is

EuRoPE's ARMY PROBLEM.
All Nations Remain On War Footing
In 1922.

In 1922.
| II is becoming increasingly clear that
the land disarmament problem, so far
as Europe is concerned. now centers at
| two points, one in Turkey and the 9th
er in Russia, writes a well informed
Paris correspondent. AS provided py
treaties the Austrian army has been
reduced to $4,000 men, the bulgarian 10
&c. 900 and the Hungarian to 35,O0o.
Germany's disarmament is also .pracu-
cally completed, leaving that country
ONLY $50, 900 soldiers and the miiitarized
police. which is probably as far as the
Allies can practically go toward fore
staIling any possible ultimate German
menace. Italy has under arms 25O,O0O,
which it expects soon to reduce to 2zJ,7
600. Jugo- Slavia, opposite Italy, has
100, 900. Czecho- -Slovakia has 10000,
and plans to cut the number to 100000.
So far, so good. The gradual settling
process is distinctly noticeable.
In Asia Minor, however, more than
100000 men not only are under arms
but are engaged in active hostllities on
the. dreary Eskishehr lines and the re-
turn of spring will perhaps witness new
offensiyes on the part of either the
Turks or the Greeks. The latter are
supposed to have 100000 men under
arms. Farther north, where RuHanla
and Poland face Soviet Russia on vague
frontiers for 1000 kilometers (62l
miles), there has been peace now for
more than year. but it is peace
troubled with deep mutual suspicion
and reports of warlike designs. The
writer has every reason to believe that
neither Poland nor Rumania has the
slightest intention or desire to invade
Russia.
Both want peace and period of
tranquility in which they can devote
their energies to pressing domestic
problems. Both, on the other hand
fear an attack by Russia and this fear
is reinforced by stories of Soviet con-
centrations near the frontier.
In the same way reliable observers
who have just returned from long So
| iourns in Russia inform this correspon-
dent that there is no disposition what
ever in Russia to attack Poland or Ru-
mania, but the Russians fear a con-
| certed invasion by these two countries
The result is that the Russians boast OF
an army of 100000 men fairly well Of
ficered and equipped. Poland maintains
| $500 men under arms and Rumania
| twenty three divisions. France, which
plans soon to reduce her continental
army from 100000 to 100000, fears tc
go below this figure lest the Russians
in a successful attack on Poland should
effect a junction with Germany and
/ thus again set all of Europe in flames.
1t is largely for these reasons that
most Europeans now ardently desire to
see a concerted effort made first to set
tie the Greco Turkish war and second
to clarity the Russian situation. De-
spite the British political crisis, 1T is
still said that Allied foreign ministers
will convene soon for the purpose OF
renewing discussion on the Near East
ern question. As for the Russian prob

The Ionic Club at its last regular
meeting adopted an amendment to
its constitution which marks an i'm
portant advance in the progress and
influence of the club. Heretofore
the membership of the club has
been confined to Master Masons of

eral accounting officers; but the new
amendment to the constitution
opens the clubs doors to Masons
at the Capitol. This means that
Senators. Members of Congress, and
officers and employees in and around
the Capitol Building, who are Masons,
are eligible for membership to the
Ionic Club. This action of the club
gives Masons at the Capitol an OPP
portunity for fraternal afflliation
