Washinfton, March 13.—Progressive
Republicans have been looking for
wnnl. heretofore, to gaining control of
ihe G. O P- machine, absorbing pro
gressive Democrats into their organ
iz.iiion, and setting up in business as
*l new, liberal party, leaving stand
,pat Democrats and Republicans to
join forces as a conservative one.
h begins to leak out now that Dem
ocrats, of more or less liberal views,
have an idea that, instead of being
absorbed by the progressive Repub
licans. the latter will find that they
have no option but to gravitate into
ihe liberal Democratic alignment,
abandoning the G. O. P. machine to
its fate in the hands of stand-pat
lb piiblicanism in partnership with the
ultra-conservative element of Demo
cracy.
That is to say:
The progressive Republicans’ plan
contemplates a liberal G. O. P. and a
conservative Democracy. The Jeffer
-onians propose a liberal Democracy '
and a conservative G. O. p.
"
CONSERVATIVE SOUTH
The progressive Republicans’ theory
is that the south, which they regard
as the backbone of Democracy, is too
conservative ever to be permanently
classified, otherwise than as well to
the right of center— though, in the
present period of confusion it is not,
they agree, finding any serious fault
with what appear to be some pretty
radical White House policies.
In the lon grun, they give it as their
opinion that Dixie will increasingly
assert itself, conservatively and their
guess is that its influence will prove
to be too potent for liberal Democrats
to counteract.
G. O. P. progressives’ estimates of
President Roosevelt differ. One ele
ment rates him as a genuine liberal.
These folk predict that, ultimately, he
will have to ’become one of them, with
other liberal Democrats—as a Repub
lican: a liberal. An opposite element
considers him inherently conservative
ias conservative, even now, as today’s
emergency will permit) and forecasts
that time will reveal him its the stand
patters’ leader.
Revenue Office To
Direct Liquor Law
(ConCnued rrom TMge out.)
will at once come under the direction
of Collector Robertson.
The order issued by President Roose
velt. would abolish the bureau of in
dustrial alcool and the office of com
missioner of industrial alcohol, which
has been in the U. S. Treasury Depart
ment and transfer their functions and
personnel powers to the commissioner
of internal revenue, a post now held
ti»y Guy T. Helvering The order would
also transfer the liquor law enforce
ment unit from the Department of
Justice to the Bureau of Internal Re
venue. Thus all the agencies dealing
with liquor and alcohol, with the ex
ception of the Federal Alcohol Control
Administration, which will continue
to operate as an independent agency,
will be consolidated in the Bureau of
Internal Revenue, Collector Robertson
pointed out.
"in order to verify these reports,
which 1 had read In the newspapers
Sunday, I talked with Washington of
ficials yesterday over the telephone'
and they said they were correct,” Col
lector Robertson said "This means
then as I see it, that the Internal Re
venue Bureau is going to have to take
over the entire job of running down
blockaders and bootleggers in all this
various states, as well as collect all
taxes on liquor and all other Federal
excise taxes collected by the bureau.
It is going to greatly complicate our
work and I am personally not at all
glad to have these extra duties im
posed upon us. since I have felt that
the job of collecting all this revenue
and taxes was big enough, without
having a big law enforcement unit
added But we will do the best we can,
of course, and carry out the Presi
dent’s orders to the 'best of our ability."
This new order, when it goes into
effect, will mean that there will no
longer be any prohibition agents, as
in the past, since there are no longet
any Federal prohibition laws to en-

New York banking interests (chief

Morgan probably bellves the Van
Sweringen brothers are as good rail
road operators as anybody else.
They didn’t lose their fortunes
(which were largely on "paper”) on
the i ail loads. Their heavy investment
in Cleveland real estate and build
ings caught them short.
That’s why Wall Street is eager to
see whether Cleveland real estate will
save the day for the Van Sweringens
or whether Morgan banks will take
the railroads.
The Van Sweringens borrowed

Three Huge Dams To Have

The first stage, cofferdam at the Wheeler dam. min up*
dam will be tf.ooo feet wide and 50 feet high.
This is the third of a series of
articles giving in detail the ideals,
and the working out of these
ideals, of the Tennessee Valley
Authority project which now is
under way throughout seven
southern states.)
By EARL L. SHAUB
Knoxville, Tenn., March 13- Three
great dams, and possibly a fourth in
the Tennessee river, will furnish
enough cheap electricity to complete
ly revolutionize the lives of most of
the people of seven southern states.
One of these dams, Wilson dam at
Muscle Shoals, is already built and is
now under the control of the Tennes
see Valley Authority, a federal agency
which is building the other two
Norris dam and Wheeler dam.
These gigantic structures have a
Ihreo-rfold mission in the future wel
fare of the south. The first is to gen
erate cheap electricity which will be
transmitted to every home, farm and
factory. The second is to store water
in wet seasons and release it in dry
months so as to keep an even flow of
water and give the river its maximum
economic navigation possibilities. The
third mission is fflood control.
The Muscle Shoals dam, with its
power plant, was built during the
World war at a cost of $159,000,000.
Since then the power trust has kept
it out of use by making a political
football of it.
The present value of this develop
ment is undetermined because the big
power and pitrate plant has grown
obsolete through non use since the
war .
This dam is a mile wide and was
named for President Wilson.
The second largest of the three
dams is the Norris dam, being con
structed at Cove Creek, 20 miles
northeast of Knoxville. It is named
for Senator George W. Norris, who
sponsored the bill creating the T.V.A.
This dam will be 250 feet high and
will hold back a mountain lake with
a shore line of 850 miles it will cost
$35,000,000 and have a. power plant
beside it.
Construction of this dam will ne
cessitate the moving of several small
towns, which will be under a hundred
feet of water when it is completed,
and !*0 cemeteries, in some of which
are buried the district’s early pio
neers, Revolutionary war soldiers and
some of the veterans of King’s Moun
tain.
Mountain roads had to be built to
the damsite before material for con
struction work could be hauled in.
More than 2,000 men are working on
the project in four shifts.
These workers are qquartered in
model dormitories and have a mess
hall that seats 600 persons at a time.
Scores of girls have been employed to
wait on the tables and work in the
kitchens, where everything is cooked
by electricity.
During their leisure hours these
workers are taking courses in car
pentry, the rudiments of electrical
engineering and other studies they
will need to keep their ies and
farms in repair when «rork is
completed and they settlt ~ jwn to a
new life that the T. V. A. is bringing
to the people of the mountains.
Wheeler dam is located between
Muscle Shoals and Norris dam. They
are 200 miles apart. This dam, named
after General Joe Wheeler, a Confed
erate general, will cost $15,000,000. It
wilt be 50 feet high and more than a
mile long. It will provide a reservoir
of 100 square miles. This lake will
extend up the river about 80 miles.
These three dams are situated and
designed to control the fflow and use
of the Tennessee river water the year
around so as to get the maximum
power and navigation possibilities out
of the riber.
The Wilson dam alone will gener
ate 300.000 horsepower. The other
two a little less.
In discussing the magnitude of this
development which was planned for
the betterment of the people, Arthui-
E. Morgan, chairman of the T. V A
told this writer that such a venture
could only be operated by the govern
ment. He is strongly in favor of gov
ernment control. He said:
"The cost of producing power un
der unified government control will
be less than half what it would under
private divided ownership and man
agement.
“If prviate companies developed this
river, there would be a dozen or more
plants and all thought of unified con
trol would fade. Each plant would
be run when its owners chose, with
out being controlled by the supply of
water elsewhere.
“But a single system under single
control will enable us to realize all
the power possibilities of the region.
“Not only that, but the control of
this great system by a private cor
poration would give economic power
over the people of the region which
no self-appointed private businessman
ought to hold.
“Just as an adverse balance of for-
PAGE THREE
eigh trade tends to bankrupt a na
tion, so the constant drain from a,
municipally of paymenst to a foreign
owned utility tends to economic im
poverishment.”
The history ot our day seems to
show that if men no longer believe
in God. they will make themselves
gods of the. Race, the Nation, or of
Power.
Strengthened By Cardui
"Just after the birth of my son,
I was weak and nervous,” writes
Mrs. W. H. Hannon of Tulsa,
Okla. "My back ached. I didn’t
get my strength back until I had
taken Cardui. It seemed to build
me up and give me strength. I was
less nervous. Since that time, I
was irregular. Not knowing any
thing better than Cardui, that is
what I took, with good results. It
settled my nerves, built up my
strength. I have a good color do
all my work and feel fine, thanks
to Cardui."
