MAKE THE PEOPLE PARTNER^
Discussion of Muscle Shoals has
been extensive since acceptance oJ.
Henry Ford’s offer by vhe House of
Representatives which puts matter
before Senate for action.
In developing this great property
it is suggested that, instead of mak
ing it a one-man proposition, a great]
utility holding company be orgarviz.ij
the stocks and bonds of which woulc.
be.offered to the American feop'e,
and particularly to the sections serv.
ed. Thus, customer ownership and in
terest in the undertaking would build
up real democratic control and ad
ministration of the national asset.
With due respect to Mr. Ford’s re
markable genius and ability, the ad
visability of considering such a pro
gram is emphasized by the-following
extracts from an editorial in the
Manufacturers Record of Baltimore,
dat e: March 20, which says in part:
•‘Henry Ford is probab y far and
aw iy the richest man in America,
not in the world.
“Directly violating the law of the.
land, which forbids the granting of
water power righto to anyone beyond
50 years the House of Representatives
votes to give to Mr. Ford the control
■ of Muscle Shoals for 100 years; and to
do it at a price which would practic
ally within the next 15 or 20 years,
if he should live that ong enable hin.
to double the wealth which he al
ready has, and to do it to a conoid
erable extent at the expense #f the
other interests.
“V'.'hether it be feasible to develop
fu'l 900,000 horsepower or not as
mar.v have claimed can be done by
construction of reservoirs in moun
tains from which the Tennessee River
runs, the amount is so great that if
given to Mr. Ford on his terms it
vrould enable him if he desired, to
dominate entire industrial situation
to destruction of many inereits and t
hating development of other possi
ble industries.
No man would want »>o attenv
to develop hydro-electric power in
Central Souh if lie had to compete
with Ford’s power granted to him
'practically without cost.
“This is probably the most stupei..
dous, monumental gift which any na
tion has ever planned to make to n
single individual.
It is dangerous t? the extreme. It
Would add to Mr. Ford’s power an un
limited possibi ity for controlling a!
other power interess in the Souh. Hav
ing Muscle Shoais practically withou
cost paid for by the National Govern
ment he could if desired sell power ,at
the
sifnt
' r - ■ ■ are fully cogm
:* ■ - c idous danger t»,
Iv. !i-rl in the proposition, 'f'hey can
not at lord to Eit Wll end sey nothin*.
Thly cannot afford- to risk the future
of their section by acquiescing in this
grajlt. If all the ejainis for his altru
ism made hy Mr Ford’s friendr were
wholly true, he cannot live indefinite
ly and no man can say who would
folloV after him in the domain of his
gigantic scheme. ‘
“’But under no condition should this
great power be granted for 100
years t0 Mr. Ford, or to anyone else;
under no considers.ion should this
property be leased txcept on a basis j
somewhat commensurate with its -val
ue.

FOUR GENERATIONS;
Texas Lady Says Her Family
Has Been Taking Thedford’s
Black-Draught, When
Needed, for Many Years.
Alto, Texas.—“We inherited the use
c.” Black-Draught in our family,” says
I rs. Mary Shuptrine, who lives neat
here on R. F. D. 2. “My grandmothei
was an old womarf when she died
about ten years ago, and she had been
using it literally ever since I can re
member. She gave it to her children
paid grandchildren for biliousness ami
s.omach complaints, so when I went
to housekeeping we just naturally used
it, too.
“I give it to my children tor a
p a-gative whenever they need one,
mid we are never without it. Mad*
into tea, it surely is fine. It’s tlffe best
home remedy for headache and consti
pation I know of.”
During over 80 years of its con
tained popularity, Black-Draught has
become the standard liver medicine in
r. any thousands of homes, where it
has been found of great benefit in the
treatment of constipation, biliousness,^,
indigestion and other common liver,
s omach and bowel complaints. Ten
million packages of Black-Draught are ,
now sold a year, as more and more
people are learning of the value of
tiiis well-known remedy.

ine ■ Black-Draught powdered liver
medicine. At all dealers’. NC-164
