We are at the very beginning Of the power
age" Mr.. Lilenthal said. In my Judgment
we have not begun to tap the possibilities Of
the use Of power as a means Of increasing the
incomes Of our people and of tightening the
burdens which fall so heavily upon many of
them.
This presupposes, however. that power can
be sold for lower rates than thus far has been
the case. Only in this way Is Il feasible that
power may be used in an infinite variety Of
ways and with greatest freedom. We reason
ably may anticipate that the Presidents plan
for the Tennessee valley greatly may hasten
the day when low cost power will be humane
and a liberating force bringing with it every
manner Of economic and social benefit to our
people"

Chairman Morgan that two experts had been
assigned to study the projected transmission
line to connect Muscle Shoals and Cove Creek
plans.
In Washington and in the valley the de-
mand for construction Of this line is becoming
more widespread Senator George w. Norris
author Of the act, believes it should begin i'm
mediately.
Chairman Morgan's official recognition Of
these demands will hearten the valley Con-
struction OF this transmission line not only
would mean that government generated power
would be carried over government-built wires
to Cove Creek to be used in construction of
that DAM but also that cities and towns along
Its route would get the cheap power they have

COLONY TEST WORTH WHILE

~NE OF the most interesting Of all the ex-
" periments the Roosevelt administration is
going TO make will be its venture in "subsist-
ence farming" for industrial workers on the
fringes Of big cities.
A S25o00OOO fund IS available for this
work. and the first colonies will be established
soon. What the stunt will amount TO is simply
this:
Land will be obtained on the edge Of
cit, and will be subdivided into small farms Of
one. two or three acres. a small home. per-
hans TO cost $1,000. will be established on each
plot. In the middle OF the colony will be a
store a playground and social hall, and the
like.
OCCUPANTS Of these homes will be industrial
workers from the city. Each family will have
enough land TO raise vegetables chickens and
a little frlit-and. possibly, to keep COW.
And the idea IS that these workers not only

life than any workers can be under ordinary

gested by me to Senator Copeland.
I am urging that two regiments
of the army be thrown into the
field by a proclamation of martial
law by the President.
The editorials tell how all other
plans have failed and. in a way,
point out the advantage in having
a real nationwide force to clean
up all kinds of crime.
But it is too weak a request.
All must get behind it, The press
must realize that it is a waste of

II the Republicans wish to begin

OF the wild iackasS to find anybody
with a fighting chance. President
Roosevelt is sitting pretty at the mo-
ment, because the opposition to his
policies is so vitally divided.
ANY survey of letters to the editor

who charge him with having en-
barked upon an enterprise purely
socialistic in character and an equal
number who feel that he is far too
conservative to meet the present
