cough quicker than any costly
medicine YOU could buy. Any
woman can easily make it in
five minutes.
Granulated Sugar Syrup 1871 OF.
Plnex $50. go. ...... 212 OF.
Put the Pinex in a clean pint
bottle and fill up with the syrup
made as follows: take pint of
granulated sugar, adj II pint of
warm water and stir for about
2 minutes. Take teaspoonful

1t tastes pleasant-children

This simple medicine is also
splendid for colds, whooping
cough, bronchitis, incipient con-
sumption, chest pains, etc.
Pinex, as you probably know,
is the most potent form of Nor

NO RIGHT TO TOLL
Federal Government Cannot
Claim Remuneration in Sale
of Water Power.
RESTS WITH THE STATES
Interested Only in Navigation, Ac-
cording to View of National
Waterways Commission.

Washington. Jan. 25.-The people or
Illinois, as indeed those of every other
state in the union, have particular in
terest in the feature of the preliminary
report of the national waterways com
mission in reference to the relation or
waterway improvements to water
power A strong recommendation is
made that the greatest care be used
in the conservation of water power
for the use of the people, especially
in view of the fact that it will be used
to a greater extent in the future. It
also recommends such legislation as
will prevent any monopoly in the pos
session Of water power.
Viewed from Three Points.
The rights of the federal government
in water power may be viewed from
three different standpoints:
First-Cases in which the power is
developed on the streams located in
the public lands, where undoubtedly
the government, so far as the rights
pertaining to the abutting ownership
are involved, has full control, and
should exercise the greatest care IN
granting away its rights, whatever
they may be.
Second-when the power is devel-
oped in nonnavigable streams, where
there is private or state ownership, in
which case no federal authority TO
regulate or control exists, except 10
prevent interference with the naviga-
ton of other streams.
Third-When water power is devel-
oped in navigable streams; in this
case several plans have been proposed
for the collection of tolls upon the
water power developed by dams
whenever their construction is per
mitted by congress.
No Rights Over Tolls.
The commission is unanimously Of
the opinion that there is no proprietary
right or interest in navigable waters
which would authorize the collection
of tolls
1t must, Of course, be admitted that
whenever the privilege of constructing
dams is granted in navigable stream
there is an undoubted right to impose
charges sufficient to pay the expenses
of examination and supervision and 70
secure the government against cost by
reason of obstacles to navigation ere
ated by the erection of dams; but this
rests upon an entirely different prin-
ciple from the proposal to charge tolls.
Interested Only in Navigation.
The control of the federal govern
ment over the navigable streams has
to do with navigation only, and in the
exercise of this jurisdiction the plan
commends itself to the commission of
inserting in each grant or franchise
under which consent to construct
dam is given a condition that the
grantee who constructs the dam must
also, whenever necessary to subserve
the interests of navigation, construct
a lock suited to the locality and to the
probable development of traffic, and
also furnish power for the proper oper-
alton of the lock or locks
These requirements, rather than the
imposition of tolls, appeal to the COM
mission, because they are free from
legal objections and are in entire &C
cordance with the objects for which
the federal government has jurisdic-
ton over the navigable streams.
