WASHINGTON, April 26.-By q
vote of 3o6 to 81 the House Of Re-
representatives. passed the Muscle
Shoals bill which authorizes an i'm
mediate expenditure Of $4,000, 900
through appropriation and bond is
sue of $4,000 900, to operate and de-
yelop the wartime hydro-electric

for future war purposes first. 1t read:
Establishment Of the Tennessee VAL
ley Authority, a government corpora
ton, in the interest Of national de-
tense, agriculture and industrial de-
velopment."
Capacity 100000 Horsepower
Total waterpower resources Of the
Tennessee River Valley are appro
ximately 100000 horsepower, by far
the biggest of its kind in the cap
italist world. The plant will produce
not only electric power for indus
tries but was specially developed to
produce nitrates for war munitions.
1t will also serve the big steel and
other war industries of Birmingham
(the Pittsburgh of the South and
will develop power along the route
from Birmingham to the port of Mo-
bile, Alabama, on the Gulf. This is
of great strategical advantage for war
purposes because of its favorable po-
sition in relation to the South Am
erican countries and will cut down
shipping time through the Panama
Canal for naval fleets operating in
the Pacific.

.Etzel Reelected
Head of Tax Group
Attention to Be Paid to State Tax
Laws As President Submits
New Plan to Directors

At meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Todd County Tax
payers Association held Saturday
afternoon in Browerville, George A.
Etzell, of Clarissa, and Lambert
Irsfeld, of Hartford, despite their
reluctance, were reelected to head
the association as president and
secretary, respectively. Fred Moss
man, of Grey Eagle, was named
vice-president and George Sarver,
of Bertha, treasurer.
In discussing tax delinquency and
tax penalties, Mr.. Etzell told the
directors he feels the law in this
respect is wrong. Mr.. Etzell said
that the laws passed by the legis-
lature which in effect allow prem
ium to the persons who do not pay
taxes when due, should be correct
ed. The present law, Mr.. Etzell
said, is an injustice to the proper
ty owners who promptly pay their
taxes and he voiced a conviction
that the present tax laws should
be amended to help both the man
who pays promptly as well as the
man who finds it difficult to pay.
Mr.. Etzell sumbitted a plan
which would provide for 10 per-
cent cash discount to the person
who pays taxes when due. The
man who could not or would not
pay taxes would have to pay the
full amount without penalties at
tached and if not paid within a
specified time, Mr.. EtZell's plan
would provide for sale as under
the present law.
The plan received favorable &C
ton from the directors who en-
dorsed it and ordered the secretary
to forward resolution to this eff
feet to the state tax commission.
While continuing it's efforts to
maintain local taxes at the lowest
possible level, the county group is
in addition to join with the state
group in urging economies in the
state operation of government as
well as in correcting certain evils
now apparent in present tax legis-
lation.-Long Prairie Leader.
