Secretary Fisher Of Interior Depart
msnt Offers to Aid Mu-
inequalities
NOMINAL PAYMENT ASKED
Plan Would Decrease Cost Of Light
and Power in Many Parts
Of Country

Washington, Aug. 21,-As a Sc
quel to Secretary Fishers recon-
mendation that the government give
free coal lands to cities in public
land states, to be operated for the
benefit Of the people, he has in
formally announced that he would
take practically the same position in
regard to water supply, water power
sites and oil lands.
In other words, the Department
of the interior will cooperate Of
ficially in the extension of municipal
ownership and operation of coal
mines, water supply systems, electric
light and power plants and oil wells
Secretary Fisher announced that
whenever municipality in a public
land state applied for a water sup
ply or water power site, with the
Legitimate purpose of developing 1t,
he would recommend that it should
have preference over a private appli-
cant, individual or corporation.
Compensation to Be Nominal.
Furthermore, the secretary will
recommend that the compensation
exacted by the government for the
use of the site shall be nominal, with
an agreement that the government
shall turn back the money into the
Improvement of contributory
streams and watersheds. The chief
effect Of this would be practically to
return the money to the municipal
ity's treasury.
In the opinion Of Secretary Fisher,
it would be necessary for the gov
ernment to require a certain COM
pensation for the sites and power,
although the money would be used
solely for the benefit of the munich
palty that paid it. In no other way,
according to the secretaryi could a
proper adjustment be made between
the rates charged for electricity de-
veloped by water power and that
which would have to be generated
by steam.
Why Power Must Be Charged For.
According to the secretary's last
report, there are few or no towns in
the United States which could de-
velop all the electric power they
needed by water along. In prac-
tically all of them it would be neces-
sary to have an auxiliary steam
plant.
lnasmueh as it is cheaper to de-
velop electricity by water power
than by steam, it would be impos-
sible, in Secretary Fishers opinion,
to set a fair rate to apply to both.
The only way to take up the slack, "
to use his own words, would be to
charge something for the sites.
The conditions which would be
eXacted by the government in the
case Of municipalities getting water
supply and water power sites in
such way would be that they
should give full publicity to cost OF
operation and receipts in order to
prevent graft or corruption. Fail
lure to comply with these conditions
would result in the government
again taking title to the sites.
Safeouards Will BE Provided.
In letting these sites go at nomi-
nal rental Secretary Fisher will
recommend that safeguards be pro-
vided so that the municipalities will
not be able TO hold them undev6l-

failure of the state to provide for filing
electoral vacancies occurring thru
death or other causes.
The presidential elector fills an office
denied to ANY senator or representa-

trust or profit under the United States"
His place is one OF high trust as the
convention of 1857 considered it and
consideration from the members Of that
convention is beyond discussion. The
electoral college was intended by the
convention to stand between the fer
ment of popular elections and the
judicial poise of craftsmanship. 1t was
an inheritance of distrust of popular
balance natural in men who had lived
under G. monarchy the most OF their

Either the sound of running water. the
whir of the winged game, or the south

into the veins of men the fever OF
spring, the fever which surges thru
the soul of man and necessarily calls
him into the fields. He sits al! day
long at his work and dreams OF the
hunters paradise. columns Of figures
before his eyes blur and dim and
change into long lines Of teal and mall

ordinary meaning conveyed, he hears
