Control of Power Sites a
Vital Conservation Issue

ST. PAUL. Mimi. September 6.-In ad-
dressing the conservation convention on
the subject Of water power. Herbert
Knox Smith, United States commission
er Of corporations. declared that the
close relations OF water power companies
throughout the country and the fact that
the power, by means OF electric transmits
sion, can be distributed over a wide
area-from one state to another-makes
conservation Of this great force a proper
duty Of the federal government. He
stated II as his personal belief that the
national government has full constitu-
tional and statutory authority to assume
the task.
THE Investigation OF developed water
powers now being made by the bureau Of
corporations" he declared. shows that
up to date. eighteen concerns or closely
allied interests. control over 100000
horsepower Of the water power. AS to
undeveloped powers. this information was
secured merely as an incident to our
main work, and certainly much under
states the case

las It stands. however. 1t makes a
eighteen groups OF over 100000 horse
power.
Thetotal water power In use IN the
United States in 1905, as estimated by the
/ census and geological survey. was only
100000. This total includes very large
i number OF small powers which the bureau
\ did not include, as II deals almost wholly
\ with powers Of over loo horsepower.
The total now commercially capable Of de-
| velopment Is variously estimated at from
10000 600 TO 6O.OOO.OO0 horsepower, the
i smaller figure being the preferable one.
II I'm demand maAalrQd

| these facts In no sense always mean iden-
\ tity OF control.
| They certainly de mean a striking de-
| gree Of non-connicting interests and per-
| sonal relationship. which makes further
concentration easily possible.
Control by the State.
| Touching regulation Mr. Smith said
that II will depend mainly upon con.
\ stitutional Limitation. "A state" he con-
tinued. "can at any time exercise q high
degree Of control over power companies
| as auasi-public servants. Some hold that

permit a rental charge II applied to naviga-

principles and on well established legis-
lative presidents.
