WASHINGTON, Jan. 2I.-Senator Carter
OF Montana has prepared and win intro

proposes TO solve the water power ques-
ton by authorizing the Secretary of the
Interior TO grant patents TO the States for
public lands chiefly valuable for the
development OF water power
The Senator'S bill Ia certain TO attract
wide interest and Is likely to lead TO sharp
conflict OF opinion as to its merits in
Congress- and among conservationists.
It has been reported that the bin was
Carter denied this statement this after
noon. but admitted that his bill had the
approval Of a majority OF the Governors
who ate nded the conference in WASH
ington this week He did not deny that
the bill had been submitted to the Presi-
dent.
Considering its importance the Senator q
bill Is very brief. comprising not more
than $50 words. II proposes to enact
that, subject 10 the limitations herein
prescribed: any State may enter any
within its borders which is chiefly val
liable for use IN the development OF water
power upon making proof to the satis-
faction OF the Secretary OF the Interior
that the land sought to be entered ID
that the whole area described in the
application 20 enter Il necessary TO insure
development OF the largest available
power at the point designated"
The conditions prescribed as a part
OF the patent are that the State shall
never ALLEVIATE the fee simple title to the
land and shall by law reserve unto its
Legislature the right TO fix rates Of rental
, for the use of the land based on capacity
for power development"
The bill reflects the view of those
Senators who have oontended that the
United States has 10 authority undS.
the Constitution to grant franchises OF
exact tolls for the use of water in the
streams on public land, but that its
constitutional authority is limited TO the
navigable streams In the interest OF com

FOR POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
President Taft Begins Campaign BY Hay-
ting Talks with senators.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2l.-President Taft
had a talk this afternoon with Senator
Carter OF Montana. Senator Penrose
OF Pennsylvania and Senator Crane OF
Massachusetts about the pending bill
providing for the establishment OF postal
savings banks. Senator Carter is the
author of the bill. Senator Penrose. in
addition to being chairman of the Senate
Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads,
before which the bill is pending. repre-
sents a State where the private savings
bank interests are very large. Senator
Cranes State. Massachusetts. has ex-
tensive private savings bank interests
also.
To-day's conference between the Pres
ident and these Senators marked the
beginning OF campaign on the part OF
the President to bring about the enact
ment OF the proposaed postal savings
bank law. Prior to Senator Aldrich .
departure for Florida the President dis
cussed the matter with Mr.. Aldrich, /,
and while exact details OF the result OF
their talk are not known it In apparent
that there is a working agreement be-
tween President Taft and the Senate
leader which has encouraged the Pres
ident to believe that the bill will be passed
by the Senate first and probably be on
the statute books before the close Of the
present Congress session.
IL was said to-day after the conference
between President Taft and the three
Republican Senators that Senator AID
rich's opposition to the postal savings
bank bill had been mainly on the ground
that he believed IL was unwise to adopt
any legislation bearing ON the financial
system OF the Government until the ma
tional monetary commission had sub
mitted it's report and was prepared TO
a unaaatrra for 0anar5al mon n0fa -
Reorganization. probably IN the form OF
a bill for the establishment Of a central
bank.
President Taft in his conversations
ON the subject with Mr.. Aldrich took the
ground that the establishment Of postal
savings banks would IN no wise interfere
with the general plan which the none
tary commission would present, and
he urged Mr.. Aldrich TO abandon his
attitude Of implied opposition end sup
port the postal savings bank bill.
There is no reason to doubt and every
reason TO believe that Mr.. Aldrich came
around to Mr.. Taft's point OF view and
that he will use his acknowledged powers
Of leadership to put the postal savings
bank bill through the Senate without any
great delay.
One OF the arguments advanced by
President Taft in talking with Senators
he is anxious to convert to the support
of a postal savings bank bill is that postal
banks, with the enormous deposits ac-
cepted, will give the Government a sum-
cient amount to reduce the $500, ,O0O, 900
per cent. bonds. The Governments +
efforts to maintain these bonds at par in
accordance with the agreement on which
they were issued has given it much con-
cern and il would like 70 get the bonds
back in its own hands again. England q
postal savings banks have deposits aggre-
eating about s70O. 600. coo and Administra-
ton officials contend that similar institu-
tions in the United States should ulti-
mately obtain deposits amounting to a
billion dollars.

The Board of Supervisors has
given notice that it will issue bonds
at its July meeting in an amount
not to exceed 10 per cent of the
assessed value of taxable property
in the Fourth District. The pro-
ceeds are to be applied to the con-
struction of good roads in this dis
trict. Under the terms of the
order. more than 100000 of
the bonds can be issued and sold.
They will be of the 20 year kind
and bear interest at 3 per cent, but
redeemable in annual installments
after ten years from date of issuance.
Many of the taxpayers are highly
gratified, others are uneasy at the
bonded debt. The obligation is the
smallest item to be considered.
The investing of the money so as to
secure good and permanent roads is
the weighty matter nor is that a
ground of much worry. The money
will be invested under the same
safeguards that other public funds
are expended. Nothing will add
more to the progress of our people
from all points of view than good
roads. The sooner we get them, the
sooner will we realize their value to
trade, development and social enjoy
nent.
