BY J. L. ANDREWS Vice President Tennessee River Improvement Association

ticaI with the interest of the general public.
 The proper development of Muscle Shoals, calls for four great and funda- of the Tennessee river, the full de- velopment of the power potentialities mental accomplishments. the navigation of the river, the utilization of the great nitrate plants, in order to make nitro gen fertilizers cheaper and more abund- ant, and the preservation of the nitra te plants in state of constant readi- ness to supply the nation with ex- plosives in the event of war
 The Tennessee river is the fifth largest and most important river in the United States It's tributaries. the Little Tennessee, Clinch, Holston and French Broad rivers. are in themselves potentially important streams. Back in the head water of these tributary streams. the United States geological surveys. show that there is more marble than there is in the Sylacauga and Georgia marble fields combined. more iron ore than there is in the Birming- ham district, and as much coal as there is in north Alabama. In addition to this vast mineral wealth that is locked in the Appalachian mountains down whOse slopes these rivers flow, there is in the same general territory, the largest amount of virgin timber to be found in any like area in the United States. ex- cept along the Pacific seaboard. These national treasures are inaccessible to railroads, but would be made readily accessible, if the TenSnessee river and its tributaries were properly opened to navigation
 In the logical development of the navigation of these tributary rivers, dams should be built for the joint purpose of creating slack water pools for navigation purposes, and for creat- ting storage for power purposes. With these storage and navigation dams built, in the head waters of the Tennessee, the vast treasures above hinted at would be unlocked for the use of Amer ican industry. and by the storage of the spring freshets in the great reservoirs above mentioned, the secondary power at dams two and three at Muscle Shoals, could be largely converted into primary power. This joint power and navigation program, would create a constant power of from five hundred

Why should there be this difference Is it because the United States engi- neers believe that there is less pros pect of traffic on the Tennessee than on the OhiOT Possibly so, in view of the fact that the traffic on the Ohio river for 1922 was about 7,000, 900 tons, while that on the Tennessee river was only about 100000 tons.
 This million tons of freight which moves on the Tennessee river annually in spite of adverse conditions is no measure of the traffic; that could be reasonably expected if there were pro- yided the continuous all-year channel of sufficient depth that is the pre-re- quisite of any successful, through nayi- gation service on any stream.
 To judge the value of our river by such a standard is to wholly ignore the economic facts. The freight that is carried on the Tennessee river is wholly local freight. There is no through traffic for there never has been a time when the through service could be made a commercial success due to the lack of continuous all-year channel of sufficient depth. Of course, during the construction of the Wilson Dam there can be no through traffic

TN HE people of the Tennessee Val
 ley have been actively at work
 for about 16 years, to bring about the development of the Muscle Shoals section of the Tennessee river. From Tuscumbia, Sheffield and Florence and on up the Tennessee Valley to Chatta- nooga and Knoxville. the chief indus trial activity of all Chambers of Com merce, big and little, has been centered on this development.
 For 16 years. the main purpose of the Tennessee River Improvement as sociation has been to secure legisla- tion at Washington. looking to the de- velopment of power and navigation at Muscle Shoals. ,.--
 The work done by the Chambers of Commerce of the cities and towns throughout the Tennessee Valley, and by the Tennessee River Improvement association, during the last 10 years, has finally brought Muscle Shoals to the attention of the entire country but the work continued long time before the slightest encouragement was re- ceived by the people of the Tennessee Valley, either from public sentiment, or from the Congress of the United States.
 During all these years of effort, the work has required the greater part of the time and thought of the patriotic citizens of the Valley, and the budget of the various Chambers of Commerce has had as it's most important item, fund for the furtherance of the work of the Tennessee River Improvement association. The total amount expended by the association in it's efforts to bring about this development, has mounted into hundreds of thousands of dollars, and these funds have been con tributed in one-dollar, five-dollar, ten dollar and fifty-dollar amounts, by the men and women of the Tennessee Val ley, throughout all the long years of fighting and waiting.
 While Muscle Shoals is now nation al issue, and the disposition of Muscle Shoals power is now a national ques- ton, there is sense in which the aspirations of the people of the Ten nessee Valley should be given consid- eration by every fair minded man, in Congress or out of Congress.
 It so happens that the interests of the people of the Tennessee Valley in the Muscle Shoals development, is iden-

The report of Senator Taylor's cleo
ton which was broadcasted by The
Associated Press and carried in head
lines of every daily newspaper in the
United States and in MANY foreign
newspapers came as a pleasant sur
prise to his many friends in Sheridan
County and thruout Montana. Even
the reactionary newspapers of the
state gave the Senator from Sheridan
County wide publicity and some of
them carried his picture on the front
page. At the time Senator Taylor
left fer st. Paul he had no idea that
the higest hOnors in the gift of the
convention would be bestowed upon
him, as he repeatedly mentioned some
OF his associates in Minnesota as the
likely candidates fer the chairman
ship. 1t is indeed a great honor for
Sheridan County to have its leading
citizen elected Chairman of a great
national party and by almost unani-
nous vote. Senator Taylor is now des-
tined to be the leading figure in the
new National Farmer Labor PARTY
and as such will be one of the great
national leaders.
In his typical energetic manner the
Senator from Sheridan County deliv-
cred his acceptance speech to the con
ventiop in which he said in part:
Out of this historic convention, I"
said Mr.. Taylor, "is destined to grow
