1t appears that the controversy
concerning Muscle Shoals may
yet be rescued from CONSUMPTION
in the 1924 campaign. The Presi-
dent indicated this week that he
was in sympathy with the pro-
posals of Chairman Martin Mad
den of the House Appropriations
Committee for the construction
of steam plant by the govern
ment and the operation of the
nitrate plant, at a loss, if neces-
sary, in order that farmers may
be supplied with this fertilizer.
The Madden plan contemplates
the maintenance of a plan under
government enterprise, but pre-
ferably private control. possibly
by Henry Ford. The suggestion
has been made that Ford would
do well to submit his proposition,
as it is plain that the government
means to operate or sell Muscle
Shoals properties. If the matter
drags over the Congressional ses-
sion, it will be an important polit-
ical issue in the South.
The opinions of many incoming
legislators on the railroad ques-
ton will take up many pages of
the Congressional Record, the Of
fetal journal of Congress. Sena-
tor Cummins, of Iowa. chairman
of the Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee consulted
President Coolidge this week rel
alive to legislative measures. The
President is known to favor many
features of the Cummins plan.
The belief prevails, however, that
little change will be made in ex-
listing laws governing the rail-
roads because of the strong oppo-
sition from Senator La Toilette of
Wisconsin, and eleven other Sena-
tors forming the self-styled La
Toilette bloc. Senator Cummins
believes that in consolidating rail-
roads expenses will be lowered
and thus permit freight-rate re-
auctions. In this connection it is
interesting to note that special
report compiled by the commit
tee on the readjustment of rela-
tive freightrate schedules desig-
mated by the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States, re-
commended this week that the
rate problem of the hour is one of
better adjustment of relative
rates, not of a general reduction
of all rates." Another committee
of the organization, approximate.
ly eight billions must be invested
in railroads to handle traffic dur
ing the next ten years.
