PHILANTHROPIsT FORD

Rowland Thomas has analysed for the New York World the proposal which Henry Ford has made for his acquisition of the government Mus cle Shoals property, and which his press agents have been industriously advertising to the world as beautiful bit of philanthropy and patriot ism.
 What Ford actually offers is five million dol lars, no cash down, for title to physical proper ties costing $87000,000.
 He proposed to pay an annual rental" of ST. 726,547, for exclusive leasehold possession for 100 years with privilege of renewal perpetually, a hundred years at time of hydro-electric units aggregating 850,000 horse power. The govern ment is to maintain, replace and repair these units at an estimated average cost per year greater than the rental"
 "The magnitude of the bargain MT. Ford thus offers himself" writes MT. Thomas, "can be ap- preciated only when it is understood that consu- mers of power at Niagara Falls, the most eco nomical of all hydro-electric plants now in oper- ation, pay an average rental of about SIS per horse power per year, and that in most parts ot the country the charge for horse power per year is $50 and upward" At the lowest rental rate prevalent anywhere else in the country what MT. Ford is getting for $1,726,547 per year, would cost him $15,3OO,O0 per year, and at the average rental rate it would cost him more than $25,000,000 per year.

PRETTY SOFT FOR A FEW

Somebody is always bobbing up with the sug- gestion that we should make present of the ten billions we have in war loans over there. It is worth while to recall that the great private financial interests of this county have much money invested in European war loans. Presum- ably these private loans are secured, but what ever their supporting is, probably much of it is of depreciated value and dependent for it's rehabili- taton in worth on the general fiscal rehabiita- tions of the debtor nations. With the public loans cancelled, this recovery would be speeded up as matter of course, and the serenity of our great private financial interests would im- prove at the same pace Everything would then be hunkydory for everybody but the American taxpayer, and what's ten billions, more or less, to him? Just the same, it would be political suicide for the party in power in this govern ment which gives consent to cancellation of our public foreign loans

APPROPRIATION CONCENTRATION

The expedition with which the house of repre- sentatives is dealing with the appropriation bills attests the efficiency of the budget law and the concentration in one committee of authority over all appropriations. In the senate it is propos that similar centrazation of appropriations be put into practice so that both houses can work in close cooperation to expedite the public busi- ness Under the budget all the appropriations for each department are gathered in single bill, instead of having them scattered through sev- eral measures as heretofore. The new scheme permits one to see at glance what it is costing to run each branch of the government, and fa- cilitates the enactment of each bill as it is re- ported from the committee.

TIMBER OWNERS NIGHTMARE

The price of lumber is fixed largely by the cost of transportation to the market. The lum- Der business is one essentially of ups and downs, in which the bad years exceed the good years. The industry has been able to exist because the price of timber has been low enough so that when mills have been operated in dull times the owners have been in fact making up their oper- ating losses by drawing on their capital invest ment in the timber. But this sort of thing can not last forever.
 The private timber owner may have had a speculative dream at one time, and now unless timber can be cut and marketed, the taxes will eat up the timber itself and the capital invested.

A STRIDE TOWARD NORMAL

The democrats had eight years in which to run up our national debts by extravaganza and waste, to scramble the railroads, to inflate and de1ate the currency, and to encourage socialism And they expected the republicans to get the nation back to normal in eight months. It could not be done, and the republicans did not do it, but they did the best they could. The country is now on it's way to normal and has made good progress, as industrial statistics will demon strate in the next few months. Liberty bonds that sold for 85 cents on the dollar few months ago are above 95 now, an increase of 10 cents. An increase of ten cents on 85 is an increase of nearly 12 per cent. That is to say, holders of Liberty bonds are 12 per cent better off than they were when the republicans came into power. That is not a bad start on the way back to nor mal

Dunbar's Weekly says the Arizona rating bur eau, which makes the fire insurance rates for the companies, will not reduce rates as result of the Verde water system, though the promise they would had something to do with getting the people to authorize the bonds for the work. We in Flafstaff, also, hoped for lower rates with the new fire engine. Did we get them?

A vote taken among something like 5000 manufacturers, who employ nearly 3,000,O00 per sons, shows them to be 77.7 per cent in favor of the American valuation plan and BOT opposed to it. If vote were taken among the big im- porting department stores the percentages would probably read the other way, but department stores butter few American parsnips when they specialize in imported goods.

The French army is more than twice the size of the American army and the budget for the ensuing year provides $2500O0,00O for the up keep of the French land forces. At the same time the estimates include nothing for interest to the United States on account of the debt or three and half billion that France owes this country.

OVER AT ELKTON

That the efforts of the Elkton
volunteer fire company is not appre-
ciated in many incidents was pointed
out last week when the firemen after
saving a building from burning down
were forced to go to a house close by
and buy food. The trouble was that
after the fremen had extinguished
the blaze their engine became fast in
the mud and it took over three hours
of effort to get the apparatus started
again. Many times the efforts of the
Elkton firemen to save property loss
goes unappreciated and the members
receive the knocks as everyday oc-
currences.

Local interest is running high in
the litigation suit over the estate of
William T. Warburton, former presi-
dent of the defunct Second National
Bank of Elkton, instituted in the
Federal Court by the receiver. Final
decision in the case may be handed
down by the United States Supreme
| Court. This was indicated when the
close of the arguments of counsel bo-
fore Judge Rose, of Baltimore, were
suspended on Saturday.
The issue brought before Judge
Rose for decision is whether or not
the Federal Equity Court has power
to assume jurisdiction over the real
estate of a decedent which is already
in custody of an executor appointed
by the Orphans Court. The question
involves many fine points of law, and
the final decision, it is said, will have
far-reaching effect.
Mr.. Warburton died on February
%, short time after the bank went
into the hands of receivers, following
an investigation of it's affairs by the
Department of Justice.
Warburton's one-man bank closed its
doors last January 20 and went into
the hands of receivers following an in
vestigation by the Department of JUS
tice in which many irregularities, it
is said were uncovered. Warburton
died February 2S, having collapsed
soon after his bank was closed.
Council for Thomas W. Perkins, the
receiver, stated that the estate was
insolvent at the time of Warburton's
death, and asked the court to assume
jurisdiction, order an accounting ant
appoint a receiver
Attorneys for the executor and othe
defendants argued that the real estat
is converted into personally by direc
ton in the will that it be sold fo
cash, and that the property is unde
administration and in the custody 0
the Orphans Court and that the Fec
eral Court is without jurisdiction
Exercise of jurisdiction by that coul
would be in violation of the rights c

Former Chief Judge Morris A. Sope
