Scott Herald, Urging That People's Interest» Be Protected—Muscle Shoal» Nitrate Plant Project Meri- torious, He Saya, but Government Would Not Derive Revenue Equiva lent to Liberty l-oan Interest R ite and Ford Would Have 850,000 II.P. Waterpower Free—Offer Should Be Modified, Correspondent Says Mr. George A. McArthur, Editor, The Mt. Scott Herald, Ix-nta Oregon. Pear Mr McArthur: The recent offer of Mr. Henry Ford to take over government property at Muscle Shoals on the Tenneivee river is so important that 1 take the liberty of laying certain essential facta be fore you. The first part of the Ford offer i» to learc the Wilaom dam and Dam No. 3 for 100 years, with indefinite renewal», provided the government will complete them and install mach inery to produce 850,000 horsepower. Mr. Ford offer* to pay 0 per cent on the 128,000,000 which he estimate» will be neceaaary to complete this work, or 3.4 per cent on «48,- 000,000, Mr. lord’s own estimate of the whole government Investment in dam», lock», and power houses. Even if we add ail other annual payments (the so-called amortisation payments, und payment* for the repair, main tenance and operation of dams, gates and locks), the total would be equiv alent to interest at the rate of only 3.« per cent. Mr. Ford offers also to give the government 300 horsepower to operate the lock». Please note that for the water- power itself Mr. Ford would pay nothing, and that he would be free from all taxes on the property. Other lessees of waterpower rights from the govrnment not only bear the total cost of building their own dams and powerhouse« and pay taxes on them, but they also pay for the waterpower in addition. The Ford offer is like offering a man 3.6 per cent on the cost of his factory' as rent, and then asking him to throw in a coal mine to supply fuel for the engines for nothing. There is no allowance for deprecia tion and the government would be yond question have to pay the cost of injury to the dams or locks from floods or other causes. Moreover, there is nothing in the offer to indi cate that the government, in order to protect its own property, would not have to bear the expense of replacing enormously costly machinery when it had been worn out in Mr. Ford’s ser vice. The second part of the Ford offer is to buy Nitrate Plant No. 1, which cost the government in round num bers fl.'t.UOOJMMI, Nitrate Plant No. 2, which cost the government in round n imbers $70,000.000, and other prop erty which brings the total cost to $s j ,000,000, and to pay $5,000,000 for it all. The property for which this offer is made includes steam machin ery to produce 160,000 horsepower, which alone is worth far more than Mr. Ford’s offer for the whole. In uddition, the government is to buy from the Alabama Power Co. the land upon which certain of the foregoing ftructurex were built, and to turn that over to Mr. Ford also. In return for the lease, for he pur chased property, ami for the water power without charge, Mr. Ford of fers in addition to the payments men tioned above, to do three principal things: First, to "maintain Nitrate Plant No. 2 ready to be operated • * in time of war for the production of ex plosives,” and in the event of war to turn it over to the government for that purpose. Second, “to operate Nitrate Plant No. 2 to approximate present capac ity in the production of nitrogen and other fertiliser compounds,” and in this business to limit his net profit from the manufacture and sale of fer tilizer products to eight per cent Third, the offer as written sug gests producing, but contains no di rect proposal to produce, fertiliser for the benefit of American farmers. That could, of course, be corrected in the final contract, for I have no doubt that Mr. Ford desires to make fertil- Blackbird Fed Thrush.

Nitrate I’iant No. 2, however, is not adapted to making fertilizer, but only cyunimid, one of several ma terials used for the production of fer- i tilizer, but not one of the best at that. The fact is that the Ford offer is 1 not mainly a fertilizer proposition, it is seven parts waterpower to one part fertilizer, even if the fertilizer pan should work out. For, if Nitrate Plant No 2 were to be permanently; employed in the manufacture of fer • j tilizer it would consume but ltXI.OOti horsepower out of the 850,000 instal lation. This is the heart of the whole matter. . A* p waterpower proposition, the Ford offer is in every important point directly contrary to the Roos' ‘ velt waterpower policy, which after I 15 year* of struggle was finally en-1 acted into law last year. The Roosevelt policy provides that all waterpower leases shall be limit ed to fifty years. The Ford offer asks for 100 years with indefinite re newals. The Roosevelt policy provides for return of the government works at the end of 50 years. The Ford offer provides for indefinite private pos session of the government works. The Roosevelt policy provides for! regulation of the price to the po ver consumer The Ford offer, so far as the United States is concerned, pro vides no check on what the power consumer must pay. The Roosevelt policy provides that public waterpower taken for pront shall make a return to the public. The 1 ord offer asks for many hundred thousand horsepower for nothing. The amount of power Mr. Ford could develop, under his pt fer, is greater by half than all that is now being developed at Niagara Falls If | Mr. Ford were to pay for it at the rates charged by the government to other companies that build their own works, as Air. Ford would not, it would cost him about $150,ov0 a year. Beyond question Nitrate Plant No. 2 ought to be maintained in condition for producing explosives in case of war. Most certainly it ought to be used for making fertilizer ;or Amer ican farmers. The wisdom of devel oping the waterpower on the Tenne- see and its tri bu tar is is beyond ques tion. But all these things can be done with fairness to the public. 1 do not believe that Mr. Ford's of. fer should be summarily rejected. ! do believe that it should be changed: F’irst: To make it fit the Roosevelt waterpower conservation policv, now the law of the land; Second: To make it pay for the property of the people something ap proaching what that propertv is really worth; and Third: To make what it offer* to the fanners clear beyond doubt. It is said that certain Wall street magnates who hate Mr. Fond are anx ious that his offer should be reject ed. What these men think about Mr. Ford and his offer is surely no reason for giving him public property of enormous value for a consideration wholly inadequate and on terms ut terly unfair to the public. I should be glad to see Mr. Ford make money, and plenty of monev, out of taking over the property of the people as he proposed to do. but not such perpetual and gigantic profits as his offer would assure. It is fair to consider the public also, and to re member that ali the annual payments Mr. Ford offers to make would amount to only one-third of the year ly taxation necessary to meet the in terest charge (at the Liberty Loan rate of 414 per cent) on the govern ment s net investment in the proper ty he proposed to take over, and that he would get the waterpower for nothing.
