Goldstcjrcufh. was elect-ed, the second Republican governor since the Civil war, Lluyd Lcundes having been the first. when SEEN and HEARD around the Carter Field The army engineers have certainly made it tough for David E. Lilienthal, in that task he has been at for five years now of allocating the cost of TVA as between navigation, flood control, and It wouldn't be so bad if power. the army engineers didn't have so much strength on Capitol Hill, but they just demonstrated that again this session. When President Roosevelt's reorganization bill, giving him pretty nearly carte blanche to combine agencies and distribute governmental functions, was being considered, the senate committee wrote a special proviso into it stating that there must be no monkeying with the functions and powers of the army engineers! And even Tommy Corcoran didn't try to lobby that out. He knew it couldn't be WASHINGTON. done. In the case the army engineers figured that navigation on the Tennessee river could be produced for a cost of $74,709,000 Then they went into the flood damage at length, and figured out that the average annual damage in the valley from floods was $1,784,061. Daniel W. Mead, former president of the American Society of Civil Engineers, has figured that only $36,000,000 of the TVA's proposed expenditures could reasonably be allocated to flood control. Mead does make a concession in the direction of Senator George W. Nor-riHe admits that the high dams built by TVA, and to be built, would aid navigation more than the plan proposed by the army engineers. He calculates that perhaps as much as $90,000,000 should be allocated to navigation. Waving aside the point that it has been proved many times that even the $74,709,000 figure is an economic absurdity, and conceding the higher figure, this would make the total that should be allocated for navigation and flood control in the TVA development $126,000,000. Cost Half Billion But it is common knowledge at Knoxville that the total cost of TVA, all Its work completed, will exceed The lowest estimate $500,000,000! recently made is $479,000,000. It is true that part of this money has and will be spent for development of the valley free fertilizer, soil erosion, etc. Official figures are not available, but Harcourt A. Morgan mentioned in his testimony that 25,000 tons of fertilizer had been of TVA s. "distributed." "On the unwarranted basis of the TVA estimates," Mr. Mead j ) 1 con- tends, "it is apparent that it esti mates the cost of power at about 2.11 mills per kilowatt hour. On a more reasonable basis of cost of the plants and of the power that can be sold, the probable cost will be from 5 to 7 mills per kilowatt hour. Steam power can certainly be generated in the Tennessee valley for not to exceed 4 mills per kilowatt hour." Actually, right in Washington, the local electric company, using low grade coal, produces current at the switchboard for 3 mills! And this company pays not only bond interest but good dividends, which spells a heavy tax bill paid to the federal government, both direct and in the personal income returns of its security holders. All of which tends to answer a question which even Senator Norris has begun to worry about: Why the delay, since 1933, in making allocations of TVA costs as between power, navigation and flood control? Am' ilious Lewis - Bar Berry's Path city boss who can deliver a majority of 60,000 in a Democratic primary for any candidate he chooses even if he delays his decision until the day before election and a United States senator who has been doing favors for voters up and down his state for 26 years, stand in the way of the continuance of Senator George L. Berry of Tennessee in the upper house. The city boss is Ed Crump of The senator is Kenneth Memphis. McKellar. They have decided that Tom Stewart shall be the "other A senator" from Tennessee. There are other candidates besides Berry and Stewart. One is Ridley Mitchell of Cookeville, who, some think, will get more votes than Berry. Another is E. W. Carmack of son of the famous senator. There are also Dr. John R. Neal of Knoxville and C. L. Powell of Sumner county. But Crump and McKellar seldom lose a fight when they are together. Actually the most important phase, to them, is the governorship and not the senatorship. Two years ago they backed the present governor, Gordon Browning, and won handily. McKellar was for another candidate at first, but yielded to Crump. What disturbed McKellar is that he always looks a long ways ahead. He knew that if Browning should serve two terms as governor, and make a lot of friends, he might be a strong opponent in 1940, when McKellar comes up for Tennessee has the same sort of unwritten law about its senators which North Carolina, Vermont and many other states have. One must be from the western part of the state, the other from the eastern. So McKellar doesn't like the idea of senatorial aspirants from his own, the western, section of Tennessee. Mur-freesbor- o, NEWS . ........ - " r- - ' After that Biair Lee came to the senate, but he still hankered for the governorship. So he tried again, and John Walter Smith had to strain himself a little to keep Lee down. This began to get on Smith's nerves. So when Lee came up for reelection as senator, in 1916, John Walter looked round for somebody to beat him. At the time. Smith was generaiiy regarded as the most conservative Democrat in the state, and Representative Lewis as the So Smith backed most radical. Lewis against Lee. Lewis won the nomination, thus retiring Lee to private life, but the Lee Democrats were mad, and the Smith Democrats lost interest after they had disposed of Lee. The Republicans had nominated Dr. Joseph I. France, at that time in the state senate. He was comparatively unknown. In fact it has often been said that thousands of men voted for him without knowing who he was, or caring. They were voting against Lewis. France came to the senate, for to one term, but long enough plague Woodrow Wilson on the League of Nations he promptly joined the irreconcilables when that battalion of death organized to fight the Versailles treaty. Also long enough to acquire high ambitions. He has been a constant candidate for President ever since, though never able to get any delegates from his own state.
