THE GREAT FALLS POWER
"A corporation That Asks Certain
Privileges From the LegisInture.

Privileges From the Legislature.
The Great Falls Power Company. repre-
scented by o. d. Barrett, the late Gen. But
iers law partner. and Paul Butler, the son
OF the deceased. had their bill up yesterday
Tor consideration by the legislature of Mary
land. Barrett gave a history of the COM
pany since its organization way back in
1889. told Of the powers that had been dele
gated II by the state of Virginia, its control
over the falls and the intentions of the
present managers. Permission to Introduce
electric power into MONTGOMERY Prince
Georges and other counties for illuminating
ana other purposes was then asked. The
project Is regarded by all as a very import
ant one and worthy of the deepest legisla-
tive consideration. Georgetown and Wash
ington are especially interested and will be
much benefited, II Is claimed, by favorable
report on the bill. The construction Of the
necessary dams. power houses etc, will
cause the expenditure Of an immense
amount OF money and the employment Of
great numbers of men. The Great Falls
Power Company Is the successor of the old
Great Falls Manufacturing Company, which
fourished in the thirties or forties.
Mr.. Barrett made an address before the
senate corporations committee last night
In support Of the bill to charter the COM
pany. In reply to the point which has
been raised that the grant Of this charter
might interfere with the rights of the
clause in the bill which prohibits the grant
of the charter from interfering with the
existing right Of any other person or cor
poration. He also gave a history of the
old Great Falls Manufacturing Company,
Of which this company Is a successor.

WHISKY AND SUGAR
Found in the Tariff Bill as Well ms I'm
Bar Rooms.

mar ROOMS.
One Of the most interesting things in the
way of maneuvering in the framing Of the
tariff legislation Is the battle between the
sugar trust and the whisky trust. When the
tariff bill was in the House committee, both
these trusts were fighting against the income
tax, which, as a revenue producer, they be-
lieved would obviate the necessity of the
tax on their products. which they desired.
The income tax, however. too strong
for them, and they were defeated
When the bill got into the Senate it was
found to be useless to fight the income tax
there. and the efforts of both trusts were
devoted to placating the friends of this
tax. After a fashion both the sugar and
the whisky men got into the tariff bill
the whisky men getting the increase in
ternal revenue tax which they desired, and
the sugar men getting pretty nearly what
they cared for.
The whisky trust. however. does not like
the extension of the bonded period which
Is in the interest of legitimate producers Of
high-grade old whisky and not In the
interest of the trust product. which does
not require the same time for ageing
The increase of the tax IN whisky was
put into the bill for revenue. bur at the
same time barring the extension of the
bonded period was extremely gratifying to
the whisky trust. The sugar duty was
provided for the purpose OF getting the vote
of the sugar men in the Senate. When the
sugar men feared that they would get no
tax on sugar they Immediately began a
fight the whisky trust. with the idea
that If the income from whisky was cut
OFF the necessities for revenue would COM
pei the collection of a tax sugar.
Now that both the whisky tax and the
sugar tax are in the bill truce has been
declared, and it is understood that the
whisky trust now wants to have the ex-
tension of the bonded period cut off. 80 that
they can get the benefit of the ~ cents
increase in tax without their rivals having
the advantage of the extension of time
for the ageing of their whski"s. How maIy
other different phases the light will take
before the bill becomes a law and what
shape it will stand in at the end no
