Muscle Shoals, and through his engin- eers, who must be given credit for knowing what they were doing, gave reasons for this decision. It may be that he will yet carry out his plars along somewhat different lines, and that such proposition as he may make to the government will be so plainly practical and promise such benefits to the farmers as to strengthen their d. ready forceful demand that Mir Ford be given Muscle Shoals into an ire sistible force. That remains to he seen. As matters now stand MT. Ford has not withdrawn from Muscle Shoals and in all probability will be heard from directly on his own account and indirectly through the millions of far mers and others who believe in hInl and in his ability to do big things in practical ways.

NEW TAX SYSTEM ON TRIAL.

Governor Brandon's new tax-col- lecting machinery has gone into effect. It is now no time to express regrets over the change from the former sue cessful system, for the legislature has acted and we have what we have. There are persons who have, studied the present machinery who believe that it can be made to work effectively, if those in charge of it conscientiously, resolutely and sincerely endeavor to equalize assessments, search out the tax-dodgers and discover all illegal ex- emptions. The people of Alabama hope that it can be made to work, and that Governor Brandon will see that it does work
 Indeed, the measure of success of the tax collections will also indicate the degree of the administration sin- cerity in actually desiring to swell the public revenues. If the system is wrong, it cannot be remedied by spe- cial taxes and resort to unsound prin. l. right, there will be no need for resort to such principles, expedients and sub terfuges. It is expected that demon. stration of the success of his system will be a matter of pride with Gov ernor Brandon, and that he will make a vigorous effort to prove that his critics have been wrong. For the sake of the public welfare, it is hoped that his critics have been wrong, and that the state revenues will be made to in- crease proportionately with the wealth opposite has been the case, since the beginning of the calendar year, but perhaps the governor will find occasion to lend the full weight of his influence and authority towards repairing the deficit wrought by the unnecessary legislation fostered by himself.
 Alabama's revenues normally should grow appreciably each year, for Ala bama's wealth and development grow apace. If the revenues do fail to ex- pand, then the people may know that the new system and tax machinery are at fault. If the revenues grow as they should grow, then Governor Brandon will have gone far to redeem his record in the eyes of the people who elected him to office. After all, it is now up to Governor Brandon to make good on his policy.

ties, while interest demands are in- variably higher. By properly protect ing these securities against every pos sible danger of default on interest or principal, the market is much more active and the interest rate is reduced accordingly. This means much to the taxpayers, because even in twenty year issue the amount of interest rapidly increases under compound ap- plication. One per cent. difference in a bond issue of a million dollars, or even much less, means a large ad- ditional burden upon taxpayers during the life of the issue.
 A well founded criticism of the leg islative act lies in the failure to iu- clude county bond issues in the sink ing fund requirement.. Many counties in Alabama have found difficulty in floating their securities at par and a fair rate of interest because of the absence of this provision. With aboli- ton of the tax-free securities, which is well nigh sure to come within s few years, it will be even harder than it is now to float county securities at reasonable rates of interest. They will offer less as investments than al present, and while the selling prices will be lowered, the interest charges will be increased, thus working hard ships upon the taxpayers both ways. There is hope that the next legisla- ture will correct this fault, and zee that county, as well as municipal se- curities, are so safeguarded as to rem der greater financial service to the public.

MIR. FORD AND HIS OPPONENTS

There are some indications that President Coolidge is beginning to realize the importance of Muscle Shoals development in it's bearing on the political situation as affected by the industrial aspect of the case. The persistent demand from the Middle Western farmers, as we'll as from those of other sections, that Muscle Shoals be made a great productive power turning out fertilizer in quan- tity at reasonable cost to the farmers is having it's effect. Strong efforts have been made by the Republican party to block MT. Ford in his efforts to do that. and Secretary of War Weeks has done everything in his power to the end that those efforts should materialize. Back of this un- dertaking are the selSish interests of the fertilizer trust. The farmers real ize that, and they naturally resent being made the victims of the scheme. The farmers votes and influence mean much in the coming national campaign for the presidency. Realization of this by the Republican party is hard to adjust to the insistent interests of the forces that are fighting MT. Ford and his plans for Muscle Shoals develor. ment.
 Representative Oliver of Alabama gave the president something to think about when the question was directly put that if the Gorgas plant would be of little value to MT. Ford in carrying out his plans for power development, as has been claimed by his opponents, including Secretary Weeks in his ef- forts to impress the president, among others, along this line, why should it be worth more than three and half millions of dollars to the Alaban,s Power Company, and much more than that to the government when its SUD- plementary product was needed.
 What MT. Ford will do as respects the submission of another bid has net been officially announced. He re- garded the Gorgas plant as an i'm portant link in his plans for power development and for the establishment of great industrial enterprise at

MUSCLE SHOALS
(NashvillA Rannarl

At the beginning and up to few months ago the government held that the Alabama Power Company had no ownership of the Gorgas plant. In order to kill off Henry Ford the government has reserved itself. Much money, many millions of the peoples money had been spent at Muscle Shoals. When the war had ended the government about determined that the great investment should be set down as a total loss and work was discon- tinued. This was over the protest of many people who appreciated the great hidden value of such plant. if developed. There was much gloom over the situation, when, like & bolt from the blue sky, came the Ford proposal. It was so enormous a proposal that 1t sounded like fairy story. Peo- pie could hardly believe in it's gen uineness. But MT. Ford is man who does big things in big way. His bid was genuine and the peo- pie knew he would do the devel- oping as he promised. Great en- thusiasm was aroused and Wash ipgNon was importuned for assur ance that the bid would be promptly accepted. All for while looked favorable. But there were those who did not want Henry Ford to go into such a business. Their own interests were hazarded. For too long they had been mak- ing fertilizers for the nation at their own prices. growing rich and powerful. to let Ford come along and spill their beans for them. They began to fight him. They spent vast sums In propaganda to . discredft Mir. Ford and his tre- mendous plan. They have fought on with great persistency. And with the aid of the secretary of war and other administration lead CTS, they have practically scrapped one of the greatest enterprises ever contemplated by business man for the benefit of his fellow beings and his country. Let there be no lessening of the popular de- mand for the development of Mus cle Shoals. Keep the matter be- fore the public and in every way emphasize the governments duty to do the right thing by the peo- pie.

Dreams Of The Burning Pocket

You are In possession of a dan gerous secret or are bent upon plan which must and will lead you into trouble if you have a dream that there is fire in your pocket. In your bag or purse. The alle- gory of this vision Is plainly dis cernible. Somewhere in your mind you are carrying dangero IS thoughts, very dangerous in themselves or because of their consequences which. at the time of the dream, you may not yet be able to discern. It is for this lat ter reason that this vision Is of such great importance. It warns you in advance of a peril which under ordinary circumstances you could not become aware of until too late, perhaps, and you are bid den to immediately study your own case with considerable care so that you may be able to avert the men- ace that threatens. Very few of us are so blind to our own faults that we are not able to tell ex- actly what scheme or what fault may lead to our downfall. Be hon. SSs "teh youlScil anu uoii pt Qc- ceived into thinking that not a single one of your ways or plars' is such as to be capable of the evil consequences foreshadowed in thls dream. If you will be thoroughly honest about it, you will very soon learn In what direction the dream finger points. And shortly after you will have every reason to be thankful that the great powers that control our destiny took you into their confidence and led you from the wrong to the right path.
