the leasing of the public lands ada
cent to the water plants.
AS rule he approved Secy. Bal
linSer's proposition but suggested a
number of changes which convinced
the committee that considerable at
tention must be given to the questions
involved.
Mr.. Garfield believes the water pow
er should be developed by cooperation
OF the federal and state governments.
He indorsed the suggestion of leasing
the public lands adjacent TO water
sites to concerns which will undertake
to develop power under conditions
that VIII prevent monopoly. He sug-
gested 20 per cent of the proceeds
from rentals should be paid by the
national government to the states In
which the power is developed.
why not rs per cent?" asked Sena-
tor Smoot.
Mr.. Garfield said he had named %
per cent as that was the amount the
states received from proceeds of
forest reserve rentals.
Mr.. Smoot called attention to the
fact that it was costly to administer
forest reserves, while 1t cost little to
lease lands for water power develop
ment. Mr. Garfield then said he
thought the states should receive rs
per cent of the rentals
