POWER PRODUCTION is MAIN IDEA
BEHIND 1T

Legally, the Federal government is not supposed
to go into the manufacture of power, except as
power is incidentally produced in its proper func-
ton of improving waters for navigation That
principle is developing a pious and very costly
fraud-fake navigation projects to permit the gen
Grafton of power. There is something of that in
this proposed ST. Lawrence Shipway and that plus
the attraction of the fake for the Middle West,
gives the whole project phoney sort of support
without which it probably could not stand
Canada doesn't want this white elephant for
many of the reasons here stated, and because she
has an excess of power. Yet, it needs Canadian
consent and so we propose to pay all its ire
mendous costs in the first years of construction
and also to give them more water at Niagara Fails
where they have more than their share already
1t is true that some of the assertions here are
engineering opinions But it is also true that this
subject has not been sufficiently aired for the
public to make judgement. Since the cost of 1T
is almost sure to run above half billion dollars,
it certainly ought not to be bum'srushed through,
as the abortive Quoddy and the Florida Ship Canal
were started If ratify that treaty, we are obi
gated to spend large treasure on what may prove
another magnificent folly
The country is criss-crossed with costly and use
less water development which could have been pre-
vented by proper public knowledge of the facts

NO SECRET ABOUT THAT

One of the news agencies in Washington reports
that frank confession is made in the senate tna'
nobody knows where the immense sums carried oy
the relief bills are to come FROM
There should be no question about that.
The money will come out of the pockets OF
every man, woman and child in the United States J!
1t will even come from those on whom l some OF
this relief money is spent.
Whenever they take their dole and go to market,
they will be participating in tins weird TORN OF
self-help. they will pay in hidden taxes.
Either that or it viii not come at AT!
The government has no bag out OF which it can
pull the white rabbits of miraculous finance
It only spends what it can find in the earnings
of fhe taxpayers or what it can borrow from them
And that's where the new rellef billions will
come from-either from there, or from nowhere!
OF course, this indebtedness to which they will
contribute can be repudiated by our children or
theirs, which it will likely be if things hold out
that long.-Charlotte Observer.
