When those terms were explained in the Senate by Senator Norris. after the House had passed the bill an in formed public opinion approved the Senate's rejection of the proposition. All this happened in 1924. A year later Mr. Ford withdrew his offer. Subsequently Senator Norris prepar ed his plan for Government -operation. It was a long fight. At last the Senate was won over, and so was the House. The bill went to the President, Mr. Coolidge. in 1928; he killed it by the famous "pocket veto" after Congress had adjourned. That official action, it seems fair to ob serve, was in timid contrast to the forthright, but unofficial, opinion of Mr. Coolidge, the journalist. :o: STICK TO YOUR JOB 'I am nothing but a tennis play er.

In 1926 the Government, using half of its equip ment, sold 428,266.000 kilowatt hours jof power at 2 mills per hour, at a net profit of $698,839. The Government's profit for three years, ending Octo ber, 1928. was $2,000,000. The pro fit of the Alabama Power Co. on power bought from the Government and resold is said to be $46,000,000. According to the estimate of Judson King, the Government could make an annual profit of $174,000,000 if it sold all the power it could produce at Muscle Shoals at the rates charg ed by private companies. It is a miracle plant down there on the Tennessee River. A statis tician with imagination has told about the wonders it could perform. It could dig a Panama Canal in 40 days. Thrown into the Mississippi Valley it could deepen the beds and raise the levees of the Mississippi and its tributaries to prevent all floods.
