complishing the final passagc Or the hill

complishing the final passage of the bill
by the Senate. fAg
The situation was so unusual that IL
aroused great interest This feeling was
expressed by a quite general outburst of
laughter. but the fact that Senator Gal
linger did not join therein. ,attested his
deep feeling over the success of a meas
ure which had commanded his best ef-
forts for years.
As passed the bill authorizes the pay-
ment by the post office department for
the carriage of mails 81 per mile on the
outward voyage to second class Ameri-
can-built vessels. plying between Ameri-
can ports and ports In the Philippines.
Japan. China and Australia and between
American port and ports In South Amer
lea south of the equator, and the paw
ment Of 81 per mile to third class Amer
lean ships similarly engaged. stops at
American ports and ports in South Amer
are provided for. 1t Is explicitly declared
that no contract shall be awarded to any
person or corporation engaged in any
competitive transportation by rail or
who is employed in exporting or import
ing merchandise in his own behalf There
also is a provision limiting the cxpen-
ditures in any one year to s00o,0oo to the
surplus earnings of the ocean mail carry
ing business.
No sooner had the result on the sub
sidy bill been announced than another
sharp conflict was precipitated. Senators
Nelson and Borah were both on their
feet, but the Minnesota veteran first
obtained recognition.
4 move that the Senate take up the
bill authorizing the leasing of coal lands
In Alaska" he said
rs that motion subject to amendment"
asked Borah.
The result of the adoption of Nelson's
motion would have been to give the
Alaska bill the place of unfinished bus
mess on the calendar which has been
vacated by the subsidy bill and Borah
had counted on getting that point of
vantage for the resolution providing for
the election of senators by direct vote
of the people. Evidently he was some
what discounted by Nelson's move.
THE motion is not amendable.' ruled
the Chair
This was an awkward predicament
and the Senate was thrown into confu-
sion. The situation was relieved. how
ever by motion to adjourn. offered
by Hale Borah was not disposed to
quit and he with many followers voted
against adjournment.
THE vote Is 81 to g. tie" again an
announced the Vice President. and for
the third time within 80 minutes. he cast
his vote in the affirmative.
AS result the Senate adjourned
after an exciting day. and in the full con-
seriousness that the conflict over the res
oution for the direct election of senators
had only been postponed.

STATEMENT BY PiNcHoT.
He Commends President Taft's Policy
on Public Water Powers.

Washington, Feb. AS president OF
the National Conservation Association.
Clifford Pinchot issued statement to-
night, commencing President Tafts wa
ter power policy, as announced yester-
day.
Every friend of conservation and ev-
cry enemy of monopoly will receive with
real satisfaction the announcement made
from the White House yesterday that
tin. administration has adopted water
power policy in full accord with the
principles for which the National Con-
servation Association stands" said Mr..
Pinchot.
The policy 50 declared has been en-
forced by the United States forest SER
vice $50 far as the existing law would
permib for number of years past and
has had the active support of this aso-
citation from the time it was formed.
THE essential features of the policy
thus announced are that the federal gov
ernment shall continue to own and con-
troll the water powers on the public do
main; that they shall be leased for ill.,
tied time only; that those who lease
from the government shall pay for what
they get; that the water powers shall be
PROMPTLY and fully developed: and that
exorbitant rates 10 consumers shall be
followed by the cancellation OF the lease.
THE National Conservation Congress
held at st. Paul last summer made 1t
clear how little popular support there
was behind the efforts of the water pow
er men to escape regulations by SUBSTITUTE
ing state control for the existing federal
control of the water powers owned by
the nation. Yet there was stiil serious
danger that the view now adopted by the
administration would not prevail"
