or of its three wholly controlled sub
salaries, are also officers and direc-

These other companies, with their
subsidiaries, and with the General

far-reaching group thus interconnected
by active personal and financial re-

chain of connection, three of those be-

Conserving Power Sites

Washington. March 15.-Concentra-
ton Of control over water powers by
large interests in important localities
is increasing so rapidly that Herbert
Knox Smith. commissioner Of corpora
lions, has reported to President Taft
that the government should preserve
title TO the remaining power sites and
develop them to prevent possible mo-
nopolization of public utility compa-
MES. A full report of the commits
sioner's investigation of water power
development was presented 70 the
president yesterday.
Commissioner Smith directs partic-
ular attention to the increasing afili-
alton Of water power concerns and
public service agencies. such as street
railway and lighting corporations. and
oftentimes banks as we'll The con-
nection between such concerns he re-
CARDS Of serious public significance.

ed, with resultant growing community
of interests. In this connection the
commissioners report says:
I'm this maze of interrelationships.
ranging from practically joint control
down to personal association in COM
mon directorates, is clearly revealed
the drift of water power and public
utility corporations under the control
of a few very powerful interests.
These connections, some stronger and
some weaker, suggest favorable con-
dition for very small number of men
to consolidate very large interests
whenever they may decide it to their
advantage TO do So This interlock-
ing of interests through directors,
while not necessarily indicating pur-
pose Of monopoly. certainly affords an
incentive and a means to combination -
Mr.. Smith, urging the immediate
formulation of a definite policy of de-
veloping the remaining water power
sites on the public domain, recon-
mends generally speaking that the
government retain the ultimate con.

PHONES ON BLINK
AS DEAR OLD LADY
MENDS HER SOCKS

Subscribers on a certain line of
a rural telephone company at Mil
lersburg, o., have just discovered
what il was that made something
go wrong with their telephones every
Tuesday and Thursday.
After the thing had gone on for
several weeks, with the line in per-
feet working order five days out of
each week. the perplexed wire chief
sent a lineman out one Tuesday with
instructions 20 call the exchange
from each telephone in the trouble
zone.
At the fourth house he found a
farmers wife sitting beside her
phone mending socks with the tele-
phone receiver inside of a sock She
exclaimed that she had lost her gourd
and found the receiver a good sub
stitute. She was very methodical,
and always darned socks on Tues
day and Thursday, which accounted
for the regularity with which the
phone went out of commission.

passing into private control. 1t is
estimated that the water power now
in use saves 33,0OO,OOO tons of coal
annually and, Mr.. Smith adds, the.
water power resource is not expended
in its using
The problem of development, the
commissioner continues, cannot be
solved by fixing by law the selling
price of water power by itself. which,
in any event, will be controlled. by
the cost Of fuel power. Recognizing
that the most efficient use of water
power requires a considerable degree
of unified control, the commissioner
makes this recommendation for the
development of public water powers:
"The public can either develop and
operate the sites, selling the energy
at market rates, or the public may

may become, he says. the nucleus for
monopoly OF both water and steam
power II the water power cannot
meet the entire demand of a given
locality he points out that the owners
can acquire auxiliary fuel plants and
handle water and fuel power over the
same distributing lines and thus a COM
plete commercial power monopoly
might gradually be built up-in fact,
already exists in a number Of com
munities.
Ten great groups Of interests. with
the General Electric company as the
most powerful, are declared by Com
missioner Smith 10 control or strong

undeveloped
Carrying the community of interest
to wider range, the report continues,
these great groups show more or less
relationship with each other. "The
two greatest. the General Electric and
the Stone and Webster groups, have
directors in a number of the same
corporations. it is addeds land the
S. Morgan Smith, Westinghouse and
Brady interests are similarly connect
ed"
Discussing IAN increasing utilization
of water power concerns and public
service companies" the commissioner
says:
THE companies in the General Elec-
trio group control street railways in
16 towns, electric lighting plants in
rs, and gas plants in 10. Altogether,
water power or allied companies own
or control and operate street railways
in III towns, electric lighting plants
in $50 towns and gas plants in 113
towns.
The reasons for this are obvious.
Control of the chief consumers of
power both insures market for
power and excludes others. This con.
nection between great power groups
and the agencies that directly serve
the public is of serious public signifi
canoe"
Regarding interlocking directorates
Mr. Smith says:
"A more general relationship, of {
sort not peculiar to water power, but
nevertheless of broad public signifi
canoe, is best illustrated in the Gen
