WATER POWER DEVELOPMENT
RETARDED BY STATE TAX

State Engineer John II. Lewis ar
gued with figures and statistics before
the Commonwealth Conference at the
University that the states annual tax
on water power development serious
ly retards Industrial and financial de-
velopment in the state. He showed
that the tax in no measure begins to
produce sufficient revenue to offset
this retarding influence.
THE equivalent" he says, "of sew
enty million dollars worth of coal
is being annually wasted in the un-
developed water power in Oregon.
This energy should be developed and
used. and Oregon will prosper in pro-
portion as this is accomplished.
THE engineering and financial diff
ficulties in the way Of development
are usually sufficient to defeat con-
struction except in the most promising
cases" To add to this heavy annual
tax, imposed only on new projects, and
with the idea of securing a revenue.
Mr.. Lewis thinks defeats, or at least
seriously retards, development. To
substitute for the tax, Mr.. Lewis be-
lieves that an annual license should
be imposed on all companies, old and
new alike. simply for regulation pur-
poses.-U. of o. Bulletin.

SURVEY
OF STATE URGED

At the recent Commonwealth Con-
ference at the University of Oregon,
the paper on Land and Stream Sur
veys, submitted by ]. C. Stevens, ex-
u. S. Engineer, and the open discus
sion following, pointed clearly to the
fact that the state of oregon very
greatly needs a typographical survey
II was the united opinion of the Con-
ference that the present legislature
should provide for such a survey. II
would probably take ten or twelve
years to complete the survey of the
whole state, but the beginning should
be made at once. Since the national
government is pledged to make an ap-
preparation for the same purpose equal
to the states appropriation, the cost
to the state would be half as much
as otherwise.
A typographical survey, 1t was
pointed out, showing surfaces, drain
age, water power, and possibilities for
irrigation, road and railroad build
ing and manufacturing. could at once
be made the basis for publicity for the
whole state of Oregon.
Cojointly with the typographical
survey could be run a value survey.
which would include a scientific study
o. the soils, timber, water power, min
erals, and all the natural resources
of the state. With all this complete
data, from the reliable source Of the
national government and the state,
capital would flow to every corner OF
the commonwealth from outside
sources, seeking rich investment in
developing the great natural resource
es of soil and mountains at present
known for a certainty only to our
selves. oregon can not hope to in
terest foreign capital in her resource
es to any great extent until opportu-
mites for investigation in the state
are made clearly apparent. An au-
thoritative typographical survey would
make our resources apparent. Wash
ington and California are each spend
ing large sums in such surveys.-U.

FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE
How the Kidneys and Bladder Cause
Pain, Misery and Discomfort, and
How They May BE Healed.


No matter how apparently strong
and healthy you may be, as you ap-
proach middle age here Is certain
letting down in the physical forces
sure to make itself felt. When this
happens to the kidneys and bladder,
then they do not perform their work
properly, and cannot until they are
toned up and strengthened, and re-
sored to their normal action. Weak
kidneys, sharp bachache, and pain
over the hips, sleeplessness, urinary
Irregularities and headache, with
dry and bad tasting mouth, are all
symptoms hat show the need of a tom
ic and stimulant for the kidneys and
bladder Foley Kidney Pills furnish
exactly the corrective and stimulating
medicine needed at such a time. They
are antiseptlc, healing and tonic in
action. They will give first a quick
relief, then a lasting benefit, and will
remove the pains and annoyance that
come from kidney and bladder dis
orders, which make he approach of
old age time OF misery and pain,
instead OF serenity ana peacefullness.
Coldwater, Mich, says: ct am past
80 years old and always enjoyed ex-
cellent health until two or three years
ago when I noticed my kidneys and
bladder were getting weak and caused
me n great deal of trouble. The kid
ney action was at times suppressed
and again made me get up many
times during the night At times T
would get stitch In the small of
my back. Seeing Fo.ey Kidney Pills
recommended for similar cases I be-
gan taking them. They believed me
promply of all annoyance, correct
ing the action of my kidneys and blad-
der, and I can again sleep all night.
All symptoms Of kidney troublee were
dispelled on such short notice that I
was certainly pleased with Foley Kid
ney Pills and have since recommend
ed them" For sale by A. c. Koeppen
