1000 EX-SERVICE SUICIDES

New York-Poverty is one of
the chief causes of suicide as
shown by Investigations of the
Save-aLife league, New York.
From $4,000 to 10000 persons
committed suicide in the United
States last year, the league esti-
mates on the basis of the 12,948
admitted suicides. Nothing is
more pathetic than the many dis
abled soldiers who themselves
ended life's battle, 1000 having
gone OUt in this regrettable way" :
says the league report.
Many of these ex-sCldiers were
left in sickness and poverty be-
cause Of the wholesale graft in

FORD'S OFFER WOULD
GIVE HIS COOPERATION
FOURTEEN AND A HALF
BILLIONS.


Since the facts about the Muscl,
Shoals "Offer" have been Sc general
ly suppressed it is we'll to point out
again that nine members of the Sen.
ate Committee on Agriculture. d
which Senator Norris Of Nebraska Is
Chairman, stated in their report re.
garding the Ford Golfer"
Giving his corporation credit
for every dollar it pays, he will
be giving the taxpayers less than
per cent on the money which
he uses out of the Treasury of
the United Understanding
that a fair interest rate in the
commercial world is 6 per cent
interest, this would give his cor
poratlon, during a 100 year peri
cd, total gift Of cold cash Of
S232,250,0O0 and If this money
were compounded, as Mr.. Ford
asks the Government to com
pound what he pays, the profit to
the corporation at the end of the
LOO year period would be S14,-
500,0000,000."
The progressive farmers who know
that the Farm Bureau and the
Grange, and the Farmers Union lent
their endorsement to the CCmmins-
Esch Law will realize that the farm
ers have little hope from the repre-
sentatives nominated by those orga-
nlzatiOns to be directors of the cor
poration to manufacture fertilizers.
The outstanding injustice Of the
Ford Muscle ShOal proposal is that
1t violates every principle of conser-
walton, through it's hundred year
lease and because there is no super
vision over rates which Mr.. Ford's
cooperation would charge for electri-
city for heat, power or light.
The Muscle Shoals project will de-
velop about 100000 horse power.
while only about 100000 horse power
would be used for manufacture of
fertilizers.
The Farmer Labor Union Of Amer
lea, the NOnpartisan League, and all
other progressive farm and labor or
CARNATIONS have endorsed the public
Super-pOwer system which is bound
TO come. Every alienation of water
even for 80 years is a direct thrust
at public development.
