Norris attacks Underwood bill and Coolidge in harsh terms
Senator Norris on the senate floor calls the Underwood bill a rip of the treasury and accuses President Coolidge of delivering Muscle Shoals to Wall Street in a deal that would make Teapot Dome look minor. He argues private lease could profit the government and cites Ford bid comparisons while stressing community fund needs and taxes. The piece also covers local obituaries, council meetings, wage statistics, and other scattered notes.
