Claims of Propressives

efforts are now being made in Con-
sress to revive the indefensible policy of
giving away public water powers of
enormous and increasing commercial value
without safeguards against extortion and
without reserving to the people any share
in the profits arising from their use These
efforts to betray the public interest are
focused in the Coosa river dam bill,
which grants valuable public property to
foreign corporation for nothing, and
leaves the consumer without appeal to the
government which grants the rights. The
} issues raised by this bill are of Immediate
and vital significance. Already over 3O,-
100000 tons of coal are annually saved
by water power, and of present undevel-
oped water powers the Coosa is one of
the most important.
THE legislative reference committee of
the progressive party emphatically con-
demns the efforts to pass the CooSa river
dam bill over the Presidents veto and as
serts that the disposition of public water
powers should be controlled by the follow
ing principles:
Il. Water power belongs to the people.
The sites where it is produced should
never be permitted TO pass out of their
hands, for only in this way can effective
control be secured.
'2. The public has the right to complete
information about every business based
On tne use OF puD1lc properly.
3. Where public development is not
desirable the right to use water power
sites should be leased for periods long
enough to permit sound and profitable in
vestment but no longer. At the expiration
OF each lease, all rights should return TO
the people who gave them.
"A. Corporations or individuals who
mske money out of rights granted by the
people should share their profits with the
people.
conditions of service of corporations un-
der federal grants should be exercised by
the state or local authorities or by ma
fail to protect the consumer against ex-
tortion.
Contrasts Connecticut Bill
'In contrast with the Coosa river dam
bill, which represents wrong principle,
is the Connecticut river bill. The Connec-
t,cut river bill recognizes the right of the
government to control the use of its prop
erty by requiring publicity of accounts,
participation by the people in profits pro-
duced from public property and reason
able safeguards against watering of stock
Tor these reasons the legislative refer
ence committee of the progressive party
warmly indorses the principle Of the Con-
necticut river BILL
The legislative reference committee OF
tho progressive party are: William Draper
Lewis chairman; Clifford Pinchot, Jane
Adams, James r. Garfield, Francis j.

New York, March S.-"The Angel of
Chinatown" they call Mrs. Rose Liv-
ingston, who is perhaps doing more
to rescue young girls from the clutches
OF white slavers than any other one
person.
Scores of young girls owe their res
cue from the horrors of Chinatown
and other evil resorts of New York
to this little woman.
Mrs. Livingston herself was for ten
years a slave in the Chinatown of
Ohio home when she was but twelve
years old. She was rescued by mis-
sionaries even as she now is trying
to rescue other girls. She declares
that all her rescues have been of girls
under seventeen years old.
In her work, she several times has
had to fight the police themselves.
Last year she was attached by an
angry cadet" and lost eight teeth in
the encounter.
Mrs. Livingston pleads for the ball
lot for women so that they may fight
with mans own weapon those men
who seek to recruit victims for the
ranks of the underworld. She says
''that women of the streets do not
want to vote, but they want all de-
cent women to- offset the ballots cast
by the cadets" In this she is like
the English suffragists. who demand
the ballot SO that they may fight white
slavery the more effectively.
