PUBLIC INTEREST PARAMOUNT

The whole nation has heard of
the much-discussed Muscle Shoals
project where as war measure our
government started hydro-electric
power development for purpose Of
obtaining nitrogen from the atmo-
sphere and giving the United States
supply of nitric acid for the manu-
facture of explosives independent
of foreign supplies.
Numerous propositions have been
made to the government to lease or
buy the property, including the one
from Henry Ford which has received
the most public attention on ac-
count of the Detroit automobile
manufacturers prominence and his
statements that he wished to make
cheap fertilizer for the farmers.
The important question for the
American people is not who gets
this property, but what the individ-
ual or corporation which secures
the use of it will do for the public
in return for these vast properties
which they seek to secure at NOM
inal cost from the government.
James Couzens, United States
Senator from Michigan and former
partner of Henry Ford, in recent
statement in Detroit said: at is
commendatory to the United States
Congress that it has not been brow
beaten into disposing of the Muscle
Shoals project.
"The government must get every
dollar possible for this great un-
finished property and it is reason
able to suppose that honest public
officials guarding the interests Of the
taxpayers will do this"
It has been generally understood
that the reason for considering Mr.
Ford's extremely low offer for these
properties was that they would be
used to manufacture cheap fertiliz-
err if he gets the plant but accord
ing to his own statements, he will
not make fertilizer except at pro-
fit. This is only good business.
The question of the public inter
est" in this proposition is however,
of greater Importance that the Sin
dividual interest" Of any prospect

B. Lowry, who lived Gin semi-bar-
barrie splendor, in an imposing house

where he kept slaves, bringing them
from and returning them to his
Tennessee estate at his convent

One night Mrs. Swisshelm's print
ing office was entered by three men
who smashed the press and scattered
the type. Nothing daunted, she
secured subscriptions for the pur-
,hase of new equipment. The pub
lication of the story of the destruc-
ton of her plant brought libel
suit, whereupon Mrs. Swisshelm
gave "bond in the sum of $4,000
to retract the statement and pro-
mise never to use the Visiter as a
political organ" One more issue
of this paper, containing the
promised retraction, appeared. A
week later ''the st. Cloud Democrat,

and editor, made its bow to an

The story of Mrs. Swisshelm's St

article on her career by Lester B

has been educated to a point where
he will not do it himself.

It is from this angle tEat the sub

Then in either of the two latter
events, the lessee would get an enor-
mously large return on his actual in
vestment. In the interest of the
farmers whose welfare is the chief
argument advanced for concluding

manufacture of fertilizer, the per-
sons responsible for leasing or dis
posing of the Muscle Schoals project
should see that very definite obliga-
