The special legislative committee on
water powers, drainage ana forestry
decided to recommend for passage all
of the important bills offered to it.
They include the bill drafted by Sen
ator Husting, chairman of the commit

struction of mill dams, comforting au-

license fee of from ten cents to two
dollars on each horsepower developed.
Among other bills favored are those

would sign it If he had a chance.
The prophecy that the bank guar

uttered by Senator Owen in the de-
