FEDERAL CONTROL
QUESTIONED
DISPOSITION OF WATER POWERS
AND POWER SITES OF GREAT
IMPORTANCE.

Washington, Feb. 2.-The whole
powers and power sites is to be
brought before the senate this week.
Efforts will be made to pass tn first
hi1l establishing the governments right
to license, control and tax a water
power furnished by a navigable river.
While the bill in question involves
only the rights of a power company At
Windsor Mills, Conn, the controversy
over the measure has become so keen
that conservation officers are lining up
behind it and will endeavor to force its
passage through the senate.
Senator Borah and other western
senators are appearing to offer
amendments affecting the entire sub
sect If federal supervision over power
sites and water powers, using the Con-
necticut river bill as a means to OBJ
tain changes in the conservation laws,
hich will permit freer consumption of
The western water owe resources.
While the bill now before the senate
received the Endorsement of the senate
committee on commerce, a majority OF
that committee, headed by Senators
Bankhead and Nelson, since have
signed a report protesting against CIV
ing the government control over water
powers. Their opposition centers on
tho argument of states rights anc
the contention that the federal govern
ment has no moral or legal ground
to demand compensation in any form.

FRAMING Of TARIFF
BEGINS TODAY
HUGE TASK OF DEMOCRATIC
Committeeman WILL BE
COMPLETED IN MARCH.

Washington, FEB. 2.-The framing of
the tentative basis of the entire tariff
legislation of the coming extra session,
of congress will begin tomorrow in the
house committee on ways and means.
The IA democrats of the committee,
constituting its majority, will meet in
executive session daily from now I'M
til they have revised all of the IA
schedules Of the present law and the
free list and administrative provisions
as well.
Democrat Leader Underwood be-
lieves the committee will be able to
finish it's work by the middle of
March. Upon the committees program
will depend the date of the extra ses-
sion of congress-.
The committee. is confronted with
the problem of raising from 1926, 1000
900 to $350,000, 900 from customs du-
ties and still fulfilling a pledge to
lower the tariff on necessities. Their
plan is to provide between $S5, 000, 900
and 500, 000, 900 by an income tax,
favorable action by only one more
state being necessary to ratify the
proposed constitutional amendment.
The income tax would embrace the
corporation tax, which bids fair to
yield $50, 600, 600 revenue this year.
Like Previous Bills.
In the main, according to the demo-
Gratis, the chemical, steel, iron, wool.
and cotton schedule on the free list
will be like the previous democratic
bills, out there will be numerous
changes dictated by new light thrown
on individual articles. The demo
cratic majority is strongly committed
to an income tax and it's partial Off
set, the free sugar plans. 1t is estl-
mated that free sugar would deplete
the revenues by 100000 and thai
the free list would cut out approxi-
mately SIT, 0Oc, 900 more. There viii
be reductions in the cotton, wool anc
ether schedules that may cause a ma,
terial loss, though in some of the
cases, the democrats count upon in
creased importations to offset the GU
in duties.

dairy commissioner of Wisconsin,:
The civilized world pays tribute to

man can always get something out Of
She is one of the few stock concerns
of the country that the bOndholders

She runs a business college and

the crop-moving demand is made?
Was it to bring about a condition of
stringency which would result first in
heavy declines in stock values, and
secondly in calling Of loans and f.
nancial panic?
Let who can, answer.
It may throw some light on the prob
lem that on the day following the Nc
Adoo statement this bank entered into
the market and discounted millions of
dollars of commercial paper at per
cent.
On the theory that the bank boarded
the s2S. .0OO, 900 in anticipation of a
financial stringency, or to precipitate
such a condition, one is moved to ad-
miration anew Of the secretary of the
treasury who was watching the banks
surplus reserve pile up and not only
stopped it where it was, but required
the bank to abandon its policy of
boarding.

20 say next Tuesday whether they
want the city to grow. Il is up to them
10 indicate by their ballots whether
they desire an expansion Of municipal
territory and a decided increase in the
City's population.
The public spirited citizens Of a sec.
tion Of what is now South Rock Island
have petitioned to come in. 1t is for
the people Of Rock Island 10 extend
the glad hand by their ballots and by
their subsequent acts.
There is no doubt If the merger so
contemplated takes effect and the city
Of Rock Island treats those in the ter
ritory to be Joined rightly and extends
10 them the privileges and convent.
ences Of the city, II will not be long
until other sections Of the South Rock
Island territory will petition to come
in, and so II will go until all the land
between the eastern boundary OF South
Rock Island to the Mississippi and as
far out as Rock river will come in and
be q part OF Rock Island proper.
This will insure a much greater city

The beet sugar producers Of the
United States have an investment of
about SCI 100000, according to the re-
port of the Hardwick committee which
investigated the American sugar in
dustry last year. The beet interests
are claiming irreparable damage to be
caused by free sugar. Both in Hawaii
and Porto Rico there are huge invest
ments in sugar production.
The Hawaiians, the Porto Ricans,
the domestic beet sugar producers and
the Louisiana interests are maintain
ing in Washington the tariff lobby
against whose insiduous activities
President Woodrow Wilson recently
so justly complained. These lobbyists
contend that free sugar means ruin
for the American sugar industry. And
yet the democratic tariff makers are
not halted. Why?
There is a basic principle underly-
ing the democratic determination to
remove the tax from sugar. The ordi-
