To Curb Water power Rates.

Almost every section of the coun-
try will find subjects of interest in
the preliminary report of the general
waterways commission, submitted to
congress.
This preliminary report recommends
among other things:
A general plan OF conservation OF
water power, with the shaping of
projects in the light of future needs
of streams.
Resort 10 federal and state legis-
lation rather than to unnecessary
channel Improvement merely to en-
force reduction OF railroad freight
rates, with inhibition on the other
hand Of manipulation OF such rates
10 freeze out water competition.
A uniform system of distribution
OF cost OF waterway Improvement
between federal state and local
governments.
Avoidance OF multiplication OF
ports.
Restriction OF dam construction
permits.
Inauguration Of such waterway
projects only as can be completed
within reasonable time
Federal regulation OF charges for
power furnished to consumers
reservation by the government
rights.
The commission holds that the fed
eral government has no proprietary
right or interest in navigable waters,
which would authorize the collection
of tolls. 1t believes that each consent
to construct dam should provide the
grantee whenever necessary to SUBJ
serve navigation interests, must con-
struct and furnish power for a lock
suited to the locality and to probable
traffic development.
Power developed at government
dams should be utilized and charged
for.
The commission records that grants
should authorize the government to
regulate the charge for the. power fur
nished consumers and should express
ly reserve TO congress the right to
alter, amend or repeal

MEAT FAST SPREADING.
From Coast to Coast Organizations Of
Z All Kinds Decide to Boycott Meat.

From the agitation started by The
Detroit Free. Press in regard TO the
greatly Increased cost OF living In
America. the inquiry into the causes
OF this condition has spread through
out the United States and Canada
The resultant food strike, started In
Cleveland. has assumed nationwide
proportions.
After series OF articles which at.
tracted universal attention the people
OF the state awakened TO the fact that
new economic problem confronted
them, other newspapers in the United
States took the matter up, setting on
foot an agitation that has not been
paralleled in recent newspaper his
tory The efforts of the several news
papers brought about the determine
ton by the legislature of Ohio to in
vestigate the cost of living in that
state, which is shortly to be accom-
plished by committee appointed es-
pecially for that purpose; and the
simultaneous beginning of an inquiry
by the associated boards of commerce
of the state of New York
There are also two federal investi-
cations under way: Congress at Wash
ington has undertaken national
probe OF the momentous question, and
in the Canadian parliament at Ottawa
an act has been introduced proposing
to expedite the prosecutions Of combi-
nations under suspicion of unduly en-
HANGING the price of necessary food
stuffs
The strike against the eating OF
meat arose from a joking remark in
the lunch-room of large Cleveland
factory. Now this meat strike has all
Ohio in its grasp and is affecting chief
cities in all parts of the country.
Dispatches from Baltimore, Kansas
City, Omaha. Memphis, Pittsburg and
other cities told of the rapid growth
OF the meat fast. Cleveland now has
100000 names enrolled, while Kansas
City reports $4,000.

Dairymen to Meet in Detroit.

Dairymen, milk producers and milk
dealers from all over Michigan will at
tend the convention of the Michigan
Dairymen's association, which opens
In Detroit February 1 and will con-
tinue through four days.
While the program does not include
1t, members of the association say one
OF the most important matters likely
TO come before the convention will be
the formulating of plans and probably
resolution opposing the efforts OF
certain interests to secure a reduction
of the tax on oleomargarine.
The dairymen take the ground that
the present agitation about the high
prices of butter is instigated by the
oleomargaine interests with the dou-
bic purpose TO stimulate sentiment ia
voring a reduction Of tax on oleo and
to attract attention from the high
price of other packers products.
Another theme likely to involve In
teresting discussion is in reference to
the purity OF the milk supply of cities.
1t is believed. that about 5000 per
sons will be brought TO the city by
the convention. counting the aggre-
gate of the four days attendance,
which will change in personnel from
