THE FORD MUSCLE SHOALS
OFFER.
FURNISHED by The National Fertilizer
Association).

An analysis of the effect on the tax
payers poo kct book of the acceptance
by the government of Henry Ford S
offer for the Muscle Shoals nitrate and
power plants is Being circulated by the
National Fertilizer Associa ton. The
analysis is put in the form of chart
showing that over a period of 100
years, the term Of the proposal leases
on the basis of the calculation which
Mr.. Ford himself uses, the taxpayers
would pay as a subsidy to Mr.. Ford
1884 $50 900.
Under the Ford offer for 1OO-year
lease Of the dam and power plant the
government must complete the water
power development with taxpayers
money. Mr.. Ford proposes to make
two Kinds OF payments--Int tercSt and
amortization.
The interest payments are a partial
reimbursement to the government for
the interest which taxpayers must
pay on the money invested in the
water power. But Mr.. Ford's interest
payments are limited to 81 ,C80,000 per
year. During the first few years his
payments are even smaller than this
but amount in tota! over the 100 years
is $l6l,O4O,OO0. The government
however, must pay interest on ST.
d
4 per cent would amount TO 81 .2S0 900
per year. This, as will readily be seen
creates deficit of 100000 or more
every year.
AMORTIZATION payments under Mr..
ford's plan t$4j,Ii7 per year, are TO
be compounded at i per cent so tina
fund Of $4S 600, 900 may in this way
be created by the end of the l00-year
lease. Since Mir. Ford's amortization
fund is compounded at per cent for
the period of the lease, the govern
NETS annual deficit must be similarly
compounded in order to determine the
final result ard will grow by the end
Of the lease TO the enormous sum of
1902 ,9350O0.
10 apply against this enormous sum
we have only Mr.. Ford's S48000OOO
amortization fund (his interest pay
ments having been already deducted
to arrive at the deficit). This leaves
at the end of 100 years a net loss to
the taxpayers Of $984,935,OO0.
This $J8l 935,000 is the subsidy
which Mr.. Ford will receive over a
period Of 100 years from the taXpay-
ers If the government accepts his
Muscle Shoals offer.
The National Fertilizer Association
does not oppose private operation of
the Muscle Shoals nitrate plant unless
it involves subsidy by the govern
ment; but it does oppose either gov
ernment or government subsidized op-
Grafton in competition with the exist
ing fertilizer industry.
We give publicity to the above for
several reasons: We desire to be fair;
every argument is entitled to hear
ing; the question at issue is vital,
far-reaching one.
But it must be remembered: This |
is the fertilizer association of Amer
ica speaking; they are directly inter
ested, as much or more so than Henry
Ford. When cause is espoused,
thousands of dollars spent in advanc-
Ing it and great determination dis
played in the support Of that cause,

Ancient Italian
 City Specializes
 In Easy Diuorces

FIUME. Sept. 30-This city counts a population of 5O.OOO; 15,OOO of them received decrees of divorce in the years 1920 and 1921 Divorce seems to be the most flourishing of the local industries, and it is making the city famous
 The reason is that the severance of the marital bond is easy here, and people desiring freedom flock to tune from neighboring states where di- vorces are not granted. Anyone can get a divorce in tune who has lived in the city long enough to acquire the rights citizenship.
 Complications. however, occasional ly arise. The case is still remembered of an Italian woman who acquired the citizenship of Plume and divorced her husband, who remained an Italian sub, ject. Shortly after her divorce she remarked and returned to Italy, where she was promptly imprisoned for big amy, the Italian law considering her divorce null and void, her husband be- ing an Italian, and, as such. not en- titled to divorce.

Greeks Bear U. s.
 Flag h Fighting Against Ottomans

CHICAGO, Sept 3O.-(By The Asso- ciated Press. An American flag was carried beside the Greek colors in every Greek division which took the field against the Turks, according to Alonzo Wilson. national director of the Near East Relief.
 "I learned this from several promin- ent Greeks" said Mir. Wilson. "The troops carried the American colors for luck, and they had extremely bad luck. Nevertheless, their choice of talis- man indicated the mems respect for America and it's republican form of government.
 "The soldiers leaning toward re- publican form of government charac- terizes the majority of the Greek rank and file, and with it went discontent which weakened Greek morale. Pow erty and the low rate of exchange con- tributed to the discontent.' The with drawal of 50,OO0 troops from around Smyrna to Thrace, where I saw many of them, gave the Turks their oppor- tunity.

Lenine and Gandhi Nearest Approach to Spectacular
 Rise of Ottoman

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 3O.-There are only two parellels in the East to- day to the spectacular rise of Musta pha Renal Sasha from low estate to the dictatorship of Turkey in Asia and confidence and devotion of the whole Turkish people.
 One is Nikolai Lenine, premier of soviet Russia. The other is Mahatma Mudhandas Karamchand Gandhi, h. dian insurgent leader now serving a prison term for sedition near Bombay.
 And of this triumvirate Renal, whose military victories have aroused the world, is the most powerful and most stable figure. For while the per sonality fanaticism and that of Lenine by political fanaticism, that of Renal is free from both.
 The Turkish Nationalist leader was then a part of the Turkish Empire a section where almost every progras- sive movement in Turkish politics had it's inception.
 Early in life Renal selected a mil itary career At 12 he entered a mil itary academy at Monastir, Macedonia He completed his military education at the Imperial War College, Constanti' nople, and entered the Turkish army He was elevated to the rank of cap tain.
 The young officer was deeply in terested in politics and was antago nistic to the reactionary regime of Sul tan Abdul-Hamid, then in power Renal became an active supporter oi the Union of Progress (Young Turk Party) and soon was a leader in the movement.
 Later Renal became convinced thai this movement under the leadership of Enver Pasha would be simply a re turn to dark reaction under different name He deserted the party and be came politically progressive indepen dent.

Find Remains Of Copper Miners or Stone Age Period

PORT ARTHUR, Ont, Sept. 27.- ering on Isle ROyale of what he be- lieved to be remains of homes used by miners of the stone age while talk ing copper from Isle Royale were given by William P. Ferguson. arche- ologist of Frank, Penn., who is in Port Arthur on his way home from his sum- mer activities.
 Isle ROyale is definitely placed as a stone age mining district" he said today. Mining was in progress there at least 1000 years ago: how much longer we do not know, but we found pines six feet in diameter growing on the ancient rock dumps. We found an area covering at least half mile in width and two miles long, over the whole of which We found remains of human habitations.
 There were larger pits which had been dug for homes. They ranged from eight to ten feet deep and they were protected by carefully built stone walls which kept them free from water, and apparently had been covered by wooden roofs. They were used as community dwellings, as some of the pits were 20 by 40 feet in diameter and one which may have been court was so by 90 feet in diameter.
 These people mined in solid rock the whole island over. but did not dig their shafts more than 20 or 30 feet
