Lavish with the People's Money in Muscle Shoals Deal
A sharp editorial attacks Congress for voting to grant Henry Ford over a hundred million dollars to acquire Muscle Shoals and control the site for a century, arguing it publicizes a massive transfer of taxpayer funds to a private magnate. It denounces hypocrisy among critics of fortune while backing the deal. It also criticizes a Nation article on oil land leasing and defends February 1920 naval reserves leasing as the legal basis, challenging Senator Walsh's stance.

Senate clash over naval oil leases and rider amendment
Senator Walsh of Montana contends the February 1920 leasing act did not authorize leasing of naval or any public oil reserves. Proponents say the naval appropriation rider amended the act to give the secretary of the Navy control of naval oil reserves, while Walsh argues this was not an amendment. The dispute centers on how the rider functioned within the appropriation bill and its legislative implications.
