WASHINGTON. Feb. In a dis

tee on public LANDS yesterday, James
X. Garfield, former secretary OF the
interior, advocated number Ut
amendments in line with the Pinchoi
policy.
GARFIELD devoted his attention chiefly
to the question Of control OF water
power II has been contended by
representatives of the water power
interests that while the government
could own a power site 1t could not
regulate The use Of the power. Gat.
field quoted authority TO the contrary
and held that tine power TO regulate
was carried by the authority given
congress by the constitution TO dispose
of public lands.
Garfield said that the governmen
should not seek a large revenue from
water power. or tax it SO high that It
would remain unused, but should
rather be content with regulating It's
use. The right TO develop might be
given TO individuals or corporations
for fixed terms, perhaps for fifty years
but with restrictions that would pre-.
vent the control of power by combina-
lions and protect consumers from In,
