WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1922 Why is it that so many people, (lis regarding the lights and safety o' others, will throw orange or banan: peels rights down upon the sidewalk 1 When s< melody slips and falls, suf fering severe injury, who is benefited't Why manifest so little thought of others? If your own mother were to bi the victim of your carelessness, yoi would be sorry indeed; why not re member that there are other mothers and to have one of them sutfer t broken arm would work great ill ti your neighbor. True, the habit ol throwing the peel upon the sidewalk inot the result of intent to injure any liody. Bat we should seek to help, no hurt others. It is an easy matter to abuse prohi bit ion, brand it a failure, and ravt over the undemocratic, tyrannica thing that prohibits a man from exer cising his own mind. But nobody sav< a whiskey soak or an inhabitant t> the city wherein the habit of stroni drink has long prevailed, can deni that prohibition is accomplishing much. The police courts prove it The fact that, a drunken man is seldon seen upon the streets of the town: and cities is proof of its value. Thosi who keep hammering against prohi bit ion are doing more to thwart tin law than all the bootlegs in the coun try. The bootleg waxes strong unde the spur of the ad\erse criticism: hurled at prohibition. But, howl a, may the critics of prohibition, it ha: come, and come to stay. With evert passing year the movement will gath cr strength. THE FORI) MUSCLE SHOALS OFFER. ("Furnished by The Natlbnal Fertilize: Association). An analysis of the effect on the tax payers' poi kel book of the acceptance by the government of Henry Ford: offer for the Muscle Shoals nitrate ant power plants is Leing circulated by th< National Fertilizer Association. Tin analysis is put in the form of a chart showing that over a period of 10* years, the term of the proposal leases on the basis of the calculation whiel Mr. Ford himself uses, the taxpayer: would pay as a subsidy to Mr. Fori uOO Under the Ford offer for a 100-yeai lease of the dam and power plant th? government must complete the water power development with taxpayers money. Mr. Foid proposes to mak? two hinds of payments?interest ant amortization. 1 lie interest payments are a partia reimbursement to the government foi the interest which taxpayers mus pay on the money invested in tin water power. Bjt Mr. Ford's in tc res' payments are limited to $1,080,000 pei year. During the first few years his payments are even smaller than this but amount in total over the 100 yearis $101,010,000. The government hewever, must pay interest on $ >7,000,000 new money invested, which a 4 per cent would amount to $2.2au,00t per vt ar. 'Ibis, as will readily be seen real is a deficit of $000,000 or more every year. Amortization payments under Mr Ford's plan ($4j.">17 per year) are tc be compounded at 4 per cent so tha a fund < f $18 000,000 may in this way be created Ly the end of the 100-yeai lease. Sinc-a air. Ford's amortization fund is compounded at 4 per cent foi the period of the lease, the govern me. t's annual deficit must be similarlv compounded in order to determine the final result and will grow Ly the end of the lease to the enormous sum of ? J.082,035,000. J o apply against this enormous sum wo h ac only Mr. Ford's $48,000,000 amortization fund (l is interest payments having been already deducted to arrive at the deficit). This leaves at the end of 100 years a net loss to the taxpayers of $081,005,000. This $981 9d.r>,000 is the subsidy which Mr. Ford will receive over a period of 100 years from the taxpayers if the {government accepts his Muscle Shoals offer. The .National Fertilizer Association does not oppose private operation of the Muscle Shoals nitrate plant unless it involves a subsidy by the government; but it does oppose either government or government subsidized operation in competition with the existing fertilizer industry. We give publicity to the above for several reasons: We desire to be fair; every argument is entitled to ? hearing; the question at issue is a vital, far-reaching one. Hut it must be remembered: This is the fertilizer association of America speaking; they are directly interested, as much or more so than Henry Ford. When n cause is espoused, thousands of dollars spent in advancing it and great determination displayed in the support of that cause, | one naturally desires to know and what is back of the propaf This much i#s certainly true: Th tilizer trust is vitally interested. Ford plan contemplates, prin the production of fertilizer ii quantities and at low price. If i what Henry Ford thinks it will, turns billions, r.ot millions, but b of dollars from the pockets of th tilizer manufacturers into the p of the farmers of the United 5 Whether Mr. Fold's plan is fe or not, we do not know, but F the wizard-chemist, the it rent the world, says it is. It will b cult to fro behind Mr. Edison'; in*rs in the matter. We have not the statistics to . an estimate, dui suppose mere . these United States 10 000,000 ers. Suppose this production of lizor proposed by Ford should a saving of $10 for each fan the United States annually? would be $100,000,000 saved am In 100 years, counting no intei would be $10,000,000,000 (ten dollars). Interest added fo years would increase the sum many times o'er. Besides, th ernment is greatly concerned the agricultural development < country. The agricultural depa is making every effort to brin vogue better methods, larger better soil improvement.
