bird takes an enormously deep
breath till he swells and all his feath-

tongue, producing a sound that may
be likened to a rushing wind. Lower
and lower goes the key, and then sud
denly there is silence and with it the
end of the music the head and neck
are brought swiftly downwards as
though hinged at the base The head
is held down thus for some seconds,
and then all at once the performance
ends and the bird again waddles
about nonchalantly.

PROPOSAL TO GIVE GOVERNMENT
RIGHT TO IMPOSE CHARGES
KILLED.
THE NEW RIVER DAM BILL
The Hydro-Etectrie Companies and
the Common Carriers Are Made
Subject to Interstate Commerce
Laws.

Washington. = The proposal to
give the Federal Government the
right to impose reasonable annual
charge upon water-powers was de-
feated in the Senate by a vote of So to
20. In the final vote. on the issue, as
raised in the Connecticut River dam
bill, the amendment of Senator Bank
head was adopted, striking out of the
bill the Federal tax plan, which had
been warmly advocated by the con-
servation forces of the Senate.
The Connecticut River bill then
was passed by vote of IA to IL. An
other section of the bill which would
have required the Government to pay
the power companies the full cost of
reproducing its power plant, in case
it should be refused Il renewal of the
Government lease, also was stricken
from the bill by a vote of IS to 81.
In it's present form, the dam bill,
simply permits the Connecticut River
Company to reconstruct a dam near
Windsor Locks under the usual terms
rights of navigation. AS passed it
contained an amendment incorporated
by Senator Borah making hydro-elec.
trio companies and common carriers
subject to the insterstate commerce
laws and an amendment by Senator
Jones, providing for the cancellation
of the Governmet lease to the pow.
er company if it ever becomes part of
any water-power combination or mo-
nopoly.

good law or good business or good

that in spite of this apparent belief,
the day when these valuable water
powers will be given away for nothing

Amendment to Canal Bill Killed.

posed amendment to the Panama
canal law to repeal the provision CIV
ing free passage to American coast
wise ships was rejected by the SEN
ate committee on inter oceanic
canals. A motion to table it, carried
z to 8, Senators Branegee, Page and
Percy supporting it. The decision of
the committee, it is believed, will
prevent action in the senate at this
session. No report will be made and
there will be no opportunity for sup
orters of the Root amendment to put
in a minority finding.
