WATER POWER BILL
Secretary of War Desires
More Authority in Handling
the Proceeds.

Another criticism of the omnibus water
power site bill framed by the House
committee on interstate and foreign COM
Adamson Of the committee by Secretary
of War Stimson Secretary Stimson takes
the position that grants of power rights
to private persons Of concerns should
give the Secretary Of War power to as
sess a portion of the proceeds OF the
power developed. to be expended in the
further Improvement of rivers.
The water power site bill in the House
is the result of bitter opposition to all
individual measures of that character by
a group of representatives who contend
that no more power rights should be
granted by the government until a fixed
policy has been adopted to prevent the
concentration of water power site con-
troll In the hands OF private interests.
Secretary Stimson points out what he as
sertS Is solution.
Letter to Adamson.
His letter to Chairman Adamson sets
forth that the department is at present
using the slack water method of river
improvement. by which a series of dams
streams. This method, he says, is avail
able on all of the rivers mentioned in
the omnibus dams bill.
Most of the dams thus constructed in
a slack water improvement" said the
letter, particularly in the rapid portions
of the streams. will create water power
of commercial value. Now, 1t is manifest
that unless the commercial value of the
water power thus created can be applied
by Congress toward continuing and ex-
tending this method Of improvement of
the stream in question, a very much
greater financial burden for the improve
ment of the stream will fall upon the
general taxpayers Of the country and will
therefore necessarily retard and postpone
the Improvement Of our rivers for naviga
ton. On the other hand, II Congress
avails itself Of this asset and applies it
to the improvement Of the navigation of
our rivers, the nation will be very much
more speedily placed in the condition Of
having all of its rivers available for COM
merce.
Can See No Difference.
again, as a matter of constitutional
law. cannot see that 1t make the
slightest difference whether the federal
government builds these dams in the first
place at its own expense. thereby. as is
generally agreed, obtaining for itself the
value of the water power thus created
or whether, assuming that the stream Is
navigable and the dam an element in the
Improvement OF the stream. the govern
ment chooses to have the dam construct
ed by private person as its agent. Civ
ing to the private person in return for his
action a portion of the value of the
water power created. BY thus combin-
ing the improvement of the river for nav
fgation with the legitimate desire Of
private parties to develop water power in
that neighborhood a great improvement
in the navigation of the river can be in
itiated through this cooperation. at a
time when otherwise the improvement
might be indefinitely delayed. What the
government has the right to do by itself
in the interest of navigation, 1t can do

the democratic wool bill or some other
compromise measure. Led by Mr.. Tn
derwood. the democrats Of the House re-
fused also to agree to the sugar bill as
amended by the Senate. and to the excise
income tax bill, which carried amend
ments repeating the Canadian reciprocity
pact and continuing the tariff board. Con-
ferences with the Senate were invited
on these bills.
Mr.. Underwood made vigorous speech
against a tariff board, saying that its
functions had been lodged with the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor
through the consolidation of the bureau
of manufacture, the bureau of statistics
and the bureau of trade relations. He
charged that the excise income tax bill
had been loaded with the reciprocity pact
and tariff board amendments to provoke
its defeat either by the democrats or its
veto by the President.

GOV. D0NACHFY
AN EASY WINNER

AS the Democratic primary ap-
proaches more closely it is apparent
to the man who has watched the sit
uation, that in the gubernatoral race
Donaghey will easily defeat his op-
ponent. Every point of difference be-
tween the two candidates has been
brought forth and thoroughly aired
before the people, and after careful
consideration of the merits and de-
merits of each of the candidates one is
forced to the conclusion that Dona-
ghey is by far the stronger and more
efficient of the two. Mr.. Robinson
has proven himself an orator of no
mean ability, but outside of that Mr..
Donaghey has out classed him at ev-
cry point of his game One thing
which is especially to Donaghey's
credit and which goes to show that
he will be successful in this race. is
that so many of the most prominent
men of the state have come forward
in a public and emphatic advocacy of
him. When such men of character as
Judge Kirby, Earle W. Hodges and
John Ike Moore stand up and declare
for man, you may know that that
man is indeed worthy of your respect
and confdence.-Arkadelphia Stand
