Water Powers.

Last week the PILoT took occa-
sion to say few plain things about
Senator Hastings warped ideas
concerning the water powers of
Wisconsin, saying in effect that
with his ideas carried out there
would be very few, if any, water
power improved in this state in the
future. The Merrill Herald re-
publishes the PILoT's editorial with
the following comments which are
timely and to the point:
1.-THE Herald does not reprint the
above article for the purpose of
criticism, but to call attention to
another phase of the water power
question. The recent destructive
flood should be a warning to the
people of the Wisconsin valley to
the Importance of constructing the
proper kind of dams on the Wiscon-
sin river and it's tributaries. In a
few years every available water
power on the Wisconsin river will
be controlled, and dams built to
make the water power. In the re-
cent flood, suppose if the dams at
Tomahawk and Grandfather had
gone out ? In that event the de-
struction to property in the cities
along the river could not be con
jectured. In Merrill, for instance,
it would most likely have been a
repetition of the disaster that be-
fell Black River Falls. We believe
that dams can be constructed that
will withstand all kinds of floods.
But at present every man or cor
poration that gets a franchise is
allowed to construct any kind of a
dam structure he or sees fit. Now
it seems to us that the state should
prescribe how dams are to be built.
and that in line with the best engi-
neering skill of the age. But that
would be control by the state of the
water powers, and, of course, OBJ
posed by all who think as the PILoT
does. It seems to US that for the
preservation of and safeguarding
the water power interest, the laws
granting water power franchises
should be amended so that the state
could step in and prescribe how the
dams should be built, and see to it
that they were built right.
With the removal of the timber
in the Wisconsin water shed, SINH
lar and even worse floods may be
expected to occur frequently. Well,
it seems to US that the business in
terest of the Wisconsin valley cities,
outside the water power interest.
and the people whose lives are en-
dangered, can with propriety look
to the state for its control of the
water powers, at least to the length
suggested, in order to insure life
and property from the peril of i'm
perfectly constructed water power
dams.
The state law now provides that
permission to build dam on any of
our rivers must be secured througn
the legislature. The state might
go further according to the Her
AIDS article and say what kind of a
dam shall be built for the safety of
its people and their property, TAX
ing into consideration its location,
tetc. But to tax the powers out of
existence and to eventually confs-
cate them is unreasonable, unjust
and calculated to drive out capital;
to paralyze business and make unin-
teresting villages of the thriving
cities that now line the Wisconsin
river from Nekoosa to its head
waters.
