NEW ATTACK MADE.
ON ADAMS0NB BILL
Declared Largely Copy of
Measure in Interest of
Water Power Trust.

A new attack on the administration va
ter power bill was made today in state
ment from the National Conservation As
sociation. which claims that the Adam
son bill has been lifted in great
measure from a ''confidential'' bill Of
Senator Knute Nelson. and that the lat
ter measure had been framed solely in
the interests Of big water power trusts.
Rome G. Brown, said to be an "attor-
ney for the water power interests" is
mentioned in the statement as having ap-
proved the Nelson "confidential' bill. The
statement was issued by H. A. Slattery,
secretary of the conservation association,
which is fighting for more drastic set
OF regulations to surround the granting
of water power franchises by the gov
ernment on public lands.
Says "Joker'' Is Included.
by actual count said Mr.. Slattery,
''137 out Of the 4O3 lines of the text of
the bill, or more than five pages out of
sixteen, embodying the most vital pro-
visions Of the bill. were taken verbatim
from Senator Nelson's confidential print
of a water power bill drawn in the inter-
est Of the water power people.
The lifted provisions in the Adamson
bill include in a large part the jokered
compensation section, which fails to pro-
vide for return to the federal govern
ment for the valuable franchises grant
ed; the section providing an indefinite
term of grant, and the 'recapture' sec
ton. which would compel the govern
ment to pay for the unearned increment
in land and franchise values when pur-
chasing the plant. All these provisions,
together with numerous others which are
against the public interest, are taken
from the bill highly Endorsed by Rome
G. Brown, chief attorney for the water
power monopolists."
Scissors and Paste Method.
The statement says there is ample evil
dence to show that the Adamson bill was
prepared by the scissors and paste meth
3D. and specifies "in section IL of the
Adamson bill reference ia made to Sec
ton Of this act But section Of the
