OF NITRATES
ROILS COLLEAGU
BILL
ES
Washington. Janl 21. (WASH
INGTON BUREAU OK THE JOUR
NAL) Four Republican senators
irtcurred the displeasure of the ma
jority organization when they voted
in. favor of the nitrates bill," which
passed the senate by a vote of 34 to
29. The quartet consists of Capper
of Kansas, Oronna of- North Dakota,
La Follette of Wisconsin and McNary
of Oregon.
Johnson of California had acted with
th "rebels" up to the point of the bill's
passage, but on the final roll. call joined
with the oraniHtion against it. Three
Democrats, ijlore of Oklahoma. King of
Utah and Vbmerene of Ohio, opposed
the bill, the othtr Democrats support
ing .it.
M'SARrS REASONS
McNary maintained that the operation
. Of the plant and the expenditure of the
, additional' 112.506,000 for development to
. operate the plant as provided by the
bill is gvjd business ; that to take any
Other course would be wasteful of an
enormous investment, and that nothing
Is more important to the, national well
being than to possess ucli. a plant for
manufacture of explosives and fertilizer.
Th epposition, the Oregon senator
maintained, was largely aroused by
sentiment against government control of
operations which haunts many senators
of the old school, plus a sectional feel
ing against establishment of this large
enterprise in the South. Amid a mass
.f testimony these are some of the
salient facts of the situation :
Kor the development of two projects
on the Tennessee river in Alabama the
government ias already expended ap
proximately SIO.'.OOO.OOO.
FKOPOSED PLANTS
One of these projects, which Includes
tha incomplete Wilson dam. will .require
something like $17,000,000 to complete.
This would furnish cheap waterpower
for operation of the nitrate plant.
The second project,' the nitrate plant.
Is complete so far as the manufacture
of nitrates for explosives is concerned,
operated by steam power. But to install
machinery for certain improved- proc
esses and to equip for manufacture of
fertilizer in the form most useful to
agriculture, the $12,500,000 provided by
the senate bill is required.
If .the project is abandoned, the salvage
value at the highest estimate would not
be over 50 per cent, and some estimates
run as low as $3,000,000.
If closed at the present stage and held
as an emergency plant to bo opened in
tha event of another great war,, the
overhead expense would be high and
certainly expensive."
DEJflTANl CONSTANT
The war department during the war
accumulated a surplus of 300.000 tons of
" Chilean nitrate to cover its needs for
'manufacture i of high explosives.-. It is
estimated that- the government can safely
tsJl half this surplus, which will pro
,vid a large part of the funds which it
. ! proposed to expend for the Improve
1 wants, and when this is done the plant
(itself will replenish the nitrate supply.
With the completion pf bfth projects
,gvt an approximate total cost of $141.
,000,000. or $39,000,000 more than has
been spent, cheap waterpower will be
available for operation of the nitrate
plant on a scale that will provide cheap
fertilizer and relieve this, country of
any dependence on the Chilean supply.
,The plant is located where the demand
for artificial fertilizer is greatest and
where it Is a necessity for continued
production of -cotton and tobacco, the
big crops of.tha South. But fertilizer
demands are Increasing by leaps and
bounds in some of the northern states,
where soil fertility is becoming ex
hausted. Bill Urges $12,000
: As Wage in Congress
Washington, Jan. 21, (I. N. S). An
increase in the salaries of the members
t ot congress to $12,000 a year will be pro
posed in the senate by Senator Sherman
(Rep. I1L). .
