Former United States Forester,

Washington, Nov. 2o-Gifford
Pinchot, former chief forester OF
the United States. leading cham
pion OF government control OF
water power rights scored IN tne
National Conservation congress
today, when he succeeded in
forcing before the convention the
minority report of the committee
on water power rights.
With former Secretary of the Inter-
f"r Walter l.. Fisher in the chair, for
r,.er Secretary of War Stimson. who
Joined with Mr.. Pinchot in the minority
report yesterday, moved for a suspen-
sion of the rules that the water power
question might be discussed from the
floor. Scores of delegates who favor
the majority report, which would COM
bine national with state control. with
less restriction ON water power rights.
protested. Mr.. Fisher ruled that the
mdtion to suspend the rules was not
.iebatable and 1t was carried amid
loud cheers.
Mr. Pinchot read the minority re-
port and thereby opened the general
debate.
Senator Burton. of Ohio, cham.
pioned the policy of strict national
control of all water power rights and
urged the delegates not to get into an
unseemly squabble between states
rights and national control.
1t Is impossible said Senator Bur
ton. that state control should ade-
quately solve this great national Prob
lem. In this matter we are conduct
ing no crusade against capital. but
there must be recognition of the dan
ger of monopoly and {, desire to pro-
vide for public welfare in the use OF
This great national asset"
Pinchot Converts Teal.
Some delegates challenged the sig
nature of joseph N Teal. of Portland.
Ore. to the minority report. asserting
that Teal had written letter to
George r. Swain. chairman of the
water power committee. expressing ap-
proval of the majority conclusions.
Professor Swain told the convention
that Judging from the letter, he
thought that the majority had Il right
to claim Teal.
'srhe majority had a perfect right to
think Mr.. Teal was with them at the
time that letter to Professor Swain
was written returned Mr.. Pinchot.
AT that time. Mr. Teal had not re-
ceived the report of the minority. l
sent Mr.. Teal a copy of our report and
yesterday received a telegram from
f,im in which he said: I know you are
right and 1 will back you up
That message came to me several
days after MIR. Teal's letter to Profess
sOf Swain.

There were three reports. in fact. one
from the majority. another from the mi
nority and third enunciating certain
general principles on which the committee
was unanimous.
The committee was unable to agree as
to the method of granting water power
franchises. The majority favored the in
determinate franchise with no fixed term
with it." The minority would allow
period of not exceeding 70 years in which
time the franchise would be irrevocable
except for cause The minority specified
ownership "by an unlawful trust or In
restraint OF trade" as sufficient for imme-
diate Termination of franchise
The committee as q whole agreed that
compensation for the privilege of water
use "shall be reserved to the government,
state or federal, from whom the privil-
ege comes" In making its united report
the committee declared that while find
ing difference OF opinion among it's
members as to certain details of the sub
ject." it felt 'keenly the consequences
which would follow n failure to agree
upon a constructive program of progress"
Three Essentials.
Both majority and minority reports as
serted that there are three essentials
of a sound water power policy: Prompt
development. prevention of unregulated
monopoly and good service and fair
charges to the consumer Both said that
the regulation of service and charge is
usually a state or local Junction." and
that it should he exercised by the ma
ton only in Interstate industry" The mi
nority report added: and when the fall
,,re of other agencies leaves the consumer
at tho mercy of a corporation" while the
majority report said: "And possibly when
the failure of other agencies might result
in abuse
The minority report declared that the
central fact In the water power situa
tion today is concentration of CONTROL"
and then proceeded to argue that water
power control rather than water power
development had been the chief object Of
the power interests

In the last seven years he con-
