Mentions No Names But Uses Express
i've Epithets in Denouncne Aceusers..
Wllliamstown, Mass, Jan. 2i.-De-
Tending himself in general terms
against the charge OF being too great
a sticlller for the observance of the law
in administration of public affairs, in
an address delivered here Saturday
night, Secretary Ballinger struck back
at his accusers in language as pointed
as the occasion would permit
His remarks were rendered especially
significant because of the fact that they
We're made on the eve of the proposed
congressional investigation into their
partment He mentioned no names but
made free use of the term 'muckraker"
as connected with politicians and the
press.
The address was delivered before the
Good Government Club of Williams
College. The subject was The Execu-
tive Function Under the Constitution"
a subject to which Mr. Ballinger de-
clared at the outset he did not intend
to adhere.
Mr.. Ballinger placed himself square,
ly on the proposition that when pub
lie officer transcends the powers with
which the constitution and the laws
clothe him, he becomes menace to
popular rights and to all the safe
guards surrounding them" and de-
clared that constitutional and legal
grants are to some people incon-
venient and often obnoxious, especially
when they obstruct the pathway to
selfish ambition"

RECOMMENDATIONS or
WATERWAYS COMMISSION
Preliminary Report, Based Upon Com
prehensive Investigation in This
Country and Abroad, Submitted to
Congress Today, Outlines Salient
Features of Waterway Improvement.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The prelmin-
commission. based upon comprehen-
sive investigation in this country and
abroad, was submitted to congress to-
day.
The report recommends, among other
things:
general plan of conservation of
water power;
Resort to federal and state legisla-
ton rather than to unnecessary chan
mel Improvement merely to enforce a
reduction of railroad freight rates, with
inhibition, on the other hand, of man.
ipulation of such rates to freeze out
water competitions;
uniform system of distribution of
the cost of waterway Improvement be-
tween federal, state and local govern
ments;
Restriction of dam construction per-
mits;
Inauguration of such waterway pro-
Jects only as can be completed within
a reasonable time;
Federal tax on power furnished to
consumers:
Reservation by the government of the
power to alter or repeal power rights.
Harmony of Rail and Water Lines.
The most essential requirement for
the rehabilitation of water traffic Is
asserted to be the establishment of
harmonious relations between the rail-
ways and water lines. No federal inn
provement of waterways will suffice
the commission insists, without the CO.
operation of communities and bust
ness interests and between rail and
water routes.
A Striking Instance.
The most striking instance cited o1
| the decrease in water borne traffic is
that of the Erie canal tho the commits
sion regards as quite as striking the
decrease. in traffic on the Mississippi
river and its tributaries. The repor,
says, on the other hand, that traffic on
the great lakes increased enormously

lowed by a subsequent report, with
