THE ECONOMY WAVE

It h easy to understand the vote of the Common Council against appropriating S40o to allow Chief Hart to attend a convention of po- lice chiefs at Colorado Springs. Colo. The opposition was based on economy: and to be consistent the Council acted economical as we'll as being willing to talk that way. We rather sympathize with the chief. however, as he will not be able to travel to the top Of Pike's Peak on an automobile this year. unless he is willing to pay for the trip out of his own salary.
 Then the Council pays $lS6 for two police department badges. It seems that the chief and the captain had solid gold badges which date from a long while back. The question then came up in the police board to provide Lieutenant Bamford with a similar badge. Later it was discover ed that there are two lieutenants and It was decided if one is 10 have such fancy badge the other should have one'1t is doubtful whether the police board realized the cost until the bills came in. But the police board has a right 10 spend $500 on an item without getting specific approval by the Council. so the badges will reach the manly breasts of the l;outenants and ought to make them feel extra good The regular policemen will have to re- main satisfied with the ordinary kind.
 So far as sending the chief to Colorado Springs is concerned we would not be surprised If the Con- mon Council at a later meeting de- cides 10 do so. Plenty of good req sons for such action can be trotted forward After all. what is 34oo, etc.,

INTERESTING WORK"

There can be little doubt about the efficacy Of Henry Ford's plan which enables him to "stay young" He says the way to do that is to work at something every day in which you are interested. We doubt whether the scheme holds good for the standard ized screw-twisters in the Ford factory. where each man goes through the same motions all day, each doing his little bit in the manufacture of the flivyer. Of course. fher, may be some Of them Who become sitally interested in the job, bu. these would be the email minority who are eiuttons for monotony.

THE MUSCLE SHOALS OUTCOME

The nation will know within short time whether President Cool idge cares to sign the Muscle Shoals bill as passed by the Senate and House. It will go before the Presl- dent after the slight differences Tn the Senate and House bills are recti- fed. Meanwhile there is evidence anlentv that the great fertilizer lobby in Washington has won de- cided victory. In the House bill 1t was made to read that the govern mcnt would only manufacture nitro gen and not fertilizer. The joker IS that the only market for nitrogen during peace times is composed oi the fertilizer manufacturers. The upshot will be that the government will make the nitrogen at low price and the fertilizer manufacture will get it, Then the fertilizer makers will sell their fertilizer 10 the farm CTS at the customary high price. Thus the government remains out Of private business so far as the House bill is concerned.
 On the question of power manu- tacture the outlook is brighter. The bills call for the manufacture of power 10 a certain extent at least, there will be some surplus power left over after the nitrogen is made to sell to the fertilizer factories. This power, however. in all probability will be sold 10 the established private power companies in the South. en- abling them to get the benefits of cheap government power to sell 10 the consumers at the regular prices.
 Tho Senate bill. known as the Norris plan. which passed the Senate by vote of 2 to last March, diff fers from the House plan in that it is straight measure for govern ment operation as power plant. In doing so the Senate gave the power lobby stinging slap in the face. The Senate and House bills will need to be reconciled and the final result most likely will verge toward the Senate's plan as offering most for the public interest.
 To make the hcadway chronicled the House bill holds that s2,00o, ,ool additional be appropriated for the construction Of a dam al Cove Creek. 4oe miles up th" Tennessee river from Muscle Shoals and als' the completion of No. ? dam and it. steam plant Altogether. the govern ment's investment at Muscle ShoaDi totals around sl500oe. .00n.
