SENATOR
-s' ~ ~ NJ -
HAS new PLAN
Would Turn Over National
Water Power Sites to the
States

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Car
ter. after conference with several
western governors VINO were in Wash
ington this week attending the gover-
nors' conference. has prepared bill
authorizing the issuance of patents
to statse for public lands chiefly valu-
able for the development of water
power. He announced today that he
would present the bill to congress on
Monday
In effect the Carter measure would
turn over to the states the whole
question of developing water power.
1t would remove the entire problem
of regulating the use of lands and
streams, chiefly valuable for the de-
velopment of power, from the control
of the federal government. 1t is ex-
pected that the pressing of such a
measure will provoke storm of op-
position from supporters of the Taft
conservation program. Senator Car
ter. however. takes the position that
when his plan is understood it will
command the support of the conserva-
tionists.
His bill provides that "any state
may enter any unappropriated public
land located within its borders which
is chiefly valuable for use in the de-
velopment of water power upon maxi
Ing proof to the satisfaction of the
secretary of the interior that the land
sought to be entered is chiefly valu-
able for such purpose.
If upon submission of such proof
the secretary of the interior is salts
fled that the land is as described the
bill directs that official to issue
patent to the state for all of such
land or such portion thereof as he
may deem necessary and useful for
the purpose named.
1t is provided further that the state
shall never ALLEVIATE the title to the
land and shall by law reserve to its
legislature the right to fix rates of
rental for the use of the land based
on capacity for power development
and to regulate the price to be charg-
ed by any person. company or cor
pora4' f,r "lsctric current generated
by the power developed.

See Hand of Cannon
In the quasi-public statement that
Pennsylvania will push the candidacy
or MIR. Olmsted. following, as it does
on the heels of the announcement of
Mr.. Diekema of Michigan and the re-
port that Judge Walter l. Smith of
iowa will enter the race, some OF
the knowing ones of the majority
profess to see an arrangement from
which the influence of Speaker Can
non is not altogether absent. 1t is
admitted by even the impractical poll
tlcfans of the house that the speaker
cannot Intimate at the present time
any mention of remaining out of the
race for the speakership of the Sixty
second congress- The vote which took
from his the power of naming the
members of the Ballinger-Pinchot
committee of inquiry, even though
reagrded as "fluke" by most of the
organization men, created situation
which made it impossible for him to
adopt any measures which might be
regarded by the insurgents as concil-
iatory.
Agitation against the present house
organization in their home districts
mas led some of the members of the
organization to request of the speaker
some indication of his intentions in
regard to the coming speakership
contest. More than one member of
what is known as the Cannon crowd
has stated frankly that the opposi-
tion to the speaker back home fore
casts considerable difficulty in the
next nominating primaries and con-
ventions. A sense of personal loyal
ty to Mr.. Cannon has prevented some
OF these from stating the case to the
speaker. In the sudden appearance
of receptive candidates for the next
speakership. some OF the speakers
supporters see the beginning of a
situation which will permit him to-
make an announcement in time to-
produce an effect in those congress
sional districts in which anti-Cannon
sentiment is strong.
Could Decline Gracefully
With a goodly list of representative
candidates for the place, it was
pointed out. the speaker could refuse
to enter the contest without discredit
to himself or his loyal supporters.
He would no longer be bound by the
imposed upon him by the
recent victory of the insurgents.
This hypothesis. advanced by con-
gressiona1 forecasters. gives to Mr..
Cannon the credit for the action of
the Pennsylvania delegation. as we'll
as the announcement which Mr.. Die
kema made on his own hook. Other
entries for the race are being pre-
dicted.

declared Mr.. Goldfogle of New York,
"but this is pernicious legislation and
a raid on the treasury. We ought to
stop dipping into the peoples money
and paying 1t out on old, stale and
doubtful claims"
The bill removed the statute of
limitations i'll relations to such claims
and after being amended by Mr.. Mann
of Illinois by a provision that here

SAUNDERS MAY WIN OUT
Many Republicans Do Not Favor
Report

Washington. June 25.-The repub-
lican members of the house Elections
Com mittee No. who have decided
that Judge e. w. Saunders ought to
be turned out of his seat as Represen-
tative for the Fifth Virginia district,
and John NJ. Parsons, his republican
opponent, installed therein, do not
appear to have had nerve enough tc
bring the contest to a conclusion this
session. They announced when tn
decision was reached that they did not
expect to settle the case on the floor
until the short session next winter.
While Parsons is backed up now by
a partisan report, from what can be
heard on the subject around, the cap
itol it is by no means certain that .
majority of the members of the House
will sustain the action of the Elec-
tions Committee when the test comes
in December or January or later. The
basis on which the republicans OF
that committee reached their conclu-
sion is regarded by many republicans
even as very dangerous question to
agitate, much less set precedent in
the event Saunders is turned out and
Parsons given the seat.

ALDERMEN AGAINST
LIGHTING CONTRACT

At noon yesterday the Board of AL
dermen met for the purpose of con-
sidering the contract agreed to on
Friday last between the city Council,
and the STAUNTON Lighting Co I,
by which the Lighting Company was
to furnish lights for the city for 10
years. The contract was laid before
the board formally, and after discussed
by various members. 1t soon became
evident tnat it would not pass. The
reason urged for such early action
was that an election of all persons con-
aecte1 with the city lighting plant
would take place this week and if the
contract should be adopted there
would be no necessity for those en-
ployees. Some members claimed that
they were not fully advised as to the
merits of the contract, and that to
adopt it under such circumstances
might be injuriousito the city's in
terests. Others gave different reasons
A vote was taken and the action of
the other body was mon concurred
in" by majority of to l.
Those voting in the negative were
Messrs. Hartman, Kable, Lang, Parent
and Stratten. For concurrence, Mr..
