One of the greatest of our con-
servation problems is the wise
and prompt development and use
of the waterways of athis ma

same control. 1t goes without
saying that funless the people
prevent it in advance) the rail
ways will attempt to take con-
troll of our waterways as fast as
they are improved and completed;
nor would I blame them if we,
the people, are supine In the mat
ter.
We must see to it that adequate
terminals are provided in every
city and town on every improved
waterway, terminals open under
reasonable conditions to the use
of every citizen. and rigidly pro-
tected against monopoly, and we
must compel the railways to CO.
operate with the waterways con-
tinuously, effectively and under
reasonable conditions. Unless we
do so the railway lines will re-
fuse to deliver freight to the boat

would supply it, Even with the

But the forest service does

Moreover. the national forests

than 800 power projects, not
counting the use of water for
these ana other purposes by in
dividual settlers. I think that
hereafter we may safely d1Sre
gard any statements that the ma
tional forests are withdrawn
from settlement and use.
AS a people we have not yet
learned to economize. One of the
virtues we Americans most need
is thrift 1t is a mere truism
to say that luxury and extrava-
gance are not good for a nation.
So far as they affect character,
the loss they cause may be be-
yond computation. But in the ma
terial sense there is a loss
greater than is caused by both
extravaganza and luxury put to-
gether. I mean the needless, use
less and excessive loss to our
people from premature death and

from the grief. the suffering and
the wretchedness which they
cause. the material loss each year
has been calculated at nearly
twice what it costs to run the
federal government. In addition
to the state and city health of
fcers and organizations, there is

OUTSIDE MAN MUST
COME into COURT

Theodore V. Halsey, the indicted
outside man of the Pacific tele-
phone and telegraph company, Vho fell
sick three years ago while jury was
being impaneled to try him. was or
dered yesterday by Judge Dunno to ap-
pear in court this morning for his ease
to be set for trial.
HaIssy was operated upon for sp-
pendicitis. and afterwards developed
symptoms of lung trouble. His physi-
clans have from the commencement %
his sickness certified that he was not in
ft physical condition TO stand trial.
Early this year medical men retained
by the district attorney reported that
Halsey was strong enough to be
brought into court for trial and Judge
Dunno at that time asserted that be

corporations. These other COM
panies, with their subsidiaries,
and with the General electric

ship.
This one group inclddes 2s cor
porations that operate hydro
electric plants with at least 1885,,
eco horsepower developed or un-
der construction, and 500 900 un-
developed. in 16 different states,
a total of 1,3s5,ooo horsepower
(equal to more than 25 per cent
of all the developed water power
in the United States in 190S).
This group includes also over so
public service corporations, not
counting their minor subsidiaries,
more than Is railroads, COM
panies that use their power In
the manufacture of cotton goods,
and over so banks and financial
houses, many of them in the first
rank of Importance.
A state can at any time ever

= public servants. Some hold that
the federal government. in lexer-
grantor, may also impose and
further conditions it chooses
ample, that the grantees shall
pay rental for the water
power acquired. Others hold that
the federal government can only
impose such conditions as are di-
rectly connected with the federal
power over interstate commerce,
such as navigation. Even this
view would apparently, at least,
permit a rental charge, If ap-
piled to navigation Improvement.
Personally, I am strongly in
clined to the former and broader
view that any conditions whatso-
ever may be imposed. both on
general principles and on well
established legislative precedents.
In numerous bridge and dam acts,
congress has used the broad
power and imposed conditions in
no way related to interstate COM
merce. In the California debris
commission act, operative since
1893, congress imposed a straight
charge on placer miners for the
privilege of emptying their ref
use into the streams.
Let there be no unnecessary
hampering of hydro electric de-
yelopment, but let the public be
in on the ground floor at the
start, for at the start the public
must grant the power, and for all
time the public will be the party
chiefly interested in its use.
The purposes and probable eff
feet on the public of any grant
should first be fully ascertained
and carefully considered, in
order to determine whether pub
lie interest justifies beyond a.
reasonable doubt the surrender
by the public of even a part of
it's power over this great public
resource. Where reasonable doubt
exists, the status quo should be
maintained.

The investigation of developed
water powers now being made by
the bureau of corporations shows
that up TO date Is concerns or
closely allied interests control
over $500, 600 horsepower of the
water power. AS to undeveloped
powers, this information was Sc
cured merely as an incident to
our main work, and certainly
much understates the case. As it
stands, however, it makes a total
water power controlled by these
Is groups of over 5000, 900 horse
power The total water power in
the United States in 1905, as esti-
mated by the census and geoiog-
lcal survey, was only $500, goo.
The great bulk of both
developed and undeveloped water
power lies on the Pacific coast,
the northwest, northeast and the
south Atlantic states Our power
demand, q s mea sured by the total
unduplicsted capacity of all
prime moVers-steam, water and
gas-is now at least $4,000, 600
horsepower.
It is obvious. also. that a local
monopoly of rover covering sim
ply one market area is neverthe-
less as complete in its effects on
the inhabitants of that area as IL
II covered the entire country.
Conditions in separate sections
are, therefore, important.
In California. for example. four
principal hydro electric COM
panies dominate the water power
industry. They have a total de-
Veloped horsepower of 259,0o0,
with probably 500. 600 additional
undeveloped. and very strong
mold on the most important power
markets. And between these four

of considerable harmony.
This is not unique case. Con-
ditions somewhat like this exist
in the Puget sound territory. in
the southern peninsula of Michi-
gan. in Colorado. in Montana and
in the Carolinas. In each of these
sections one. or at most two, con-
Germs are predominant in their
control of water powers, public
service companies and power
markets
But there is also going on a
concentration of wider sort-a
process OF deep significance. but
as yet little recognized. There
is marked progress toward a
mutually of interests among
public service companies gener-
ally. electric light, power. gas
and street railway concerns. The
significant identity of officers and
directors in large number of
such companies throughout the
United states is very remark
able.
