resent we have both a government
owned and operated water power plant
and a privately owned one.
1.-The government owns its own
power plant in the Mississippi river at
the Rock Island, CID arsenal, and,
according to a statement of the COM
mandant, Col. George W. Burr, which
l will insert in the Record, the govern
ment is developing its power there at
a cost of miles per kilowatt hour.
Some 80 miles down the river is
the great privately owned Keokuk dam
and power plant, the greatest on this
continent. Using the same water in
the same river, this private company to

ship of it. To do so would be
to betray the people. This con.
gress has passed many measures in the
interests of the masses of the people,
but to pass this bill as reported from
committee would be to injure the glor-
iCus record we have made. 1t would
ruin us. l do not want it said of me,
and, il shall not be said of me, years
from now or 10 years from now, or
ever. that ! was one of those members
of congress who voted to give the
water power trust a 5O-year franchise
on the rivers of this country without
one cent of compensation to the gov
eminent.
81 am in favor of passing bill now
if we can amend it so that it will be
in the interests of the people, for
whose welfare it is our duty to legis-
late. instead of wholly and absolutely
in the interests of the water power
groups of the country.
Before many years come and go
men will be occupying these seats that
we now occupy who will not be will
ing TO give away the rights of the peo-
pie to the rivers for 90 years, or 20
years, or any number of years, without
compensation. And il we can not do
anything now but surrender everything
to the water power magnates, then let
US permit the solution of this problem
to await the coming of these men who
Will take a different view than the
gentlemen who framed this bill.
Il have for some time been working
on bill looking toward a huge gov

eminent build and operate this plant.
and sell the power directly to consum-
ers practically at cost. The Missis-
sippi is. or should be, the peoples prop
erty. and if it Is to be harnessed, it
should be in their interest. If few
are permitted t harness

periences. only enrich them at the ex-
pense of all the peoplei while If the

forever without cent of compensation
to the government, is charging the con-
sumers from 10 to IA cents per kilowatt
hour, which is from 80 to so times
more than it costs the government, or
than it would cost the people at Rock
Island if the government was to sell It
directly to the consumers at actual
cost. Imagine what stimulus a great
water power plant would be to any
community If power was to be sold for
3 mills a kilowatt hour. 1t would mean
great factories, increased employment,
and added opportunities and happiness
for all.
"The statement of Colonel Burr to
which 1 refer was published as an in
terview in the Rock Island Argus of
July Z, and was brought about as the
result of an intimation made on the
floor of the house that water power at
the Rock Island arsenal was more ex-
pensive than steam power.
Colonel Burr states that by a COM
paratively small expenditure the ca
pacity of the Rock Island power plant
can be greatly increased, and that the
additional power can be sold direct to
users to the advantage of the govern
ment, consumers, and all concerned.
The statement is of intense interest to
me, and have already written Colonel
Burr to send me the necessary particu-
lars so that l may ask congress to pro-
vide for the increasing of the capacity
of this water power plant. The arsenal
plant, however is not the site l have in
mind for much larger government
owned project, which is some distance
away, and which project l intend to
urge congress to provide for.
The statement of Colonel Burr as
to the low cost of water power at Rock
Island proves beyond successful con-
tradiction that Rock Island is the logi-
cal site for a great central military
manufacturing plant, which will be-
come a necessity as soon as the gov
eminent enters upon the policy of TAX
ing the profit out of war and prepare
ton for war by manufacturing all
in government arsenals in
stead of buying a large part of such
from the ammunition ring and
paying the outrageously excessive
prices demanded for them"

| Washington. Aug. Sin his speech
delivered on the floor of the house il
which he criticised the dam and watel
/ site bill because he declared ii pro
vided for the giving away of all water
power sites in the United States, fol-
30 years without compensation to the
government, Congressman TavenneI
of Illinois also answered the attack
recently made on the Rock Island ar
senal water power plant by congress
men representing the Frankfort arse
nal district.
Tavenner declared water power was
being developed by Uncle Sam in the
governments water power plant at the
Rock Island arsenal for mills per
kiIlowat hour, or from 80 to so times
less than the prices being charged at
the privately owned plant at Keokuk.
II now appears doubtful whether a
single member of the Illinois deleEa-
ton will vote for the dam bill unless
il is materially improved by amend
ment on the floor of the house.
MIR. Chairman, heretofore we have
been giving away our valuable water
power sites forever" declared Taven-
ner, but now we are going to be pro-
gressive and give them away for 30
years. a full half century, time when
most of those now living will be dead
and gone. AS reported from commit
tee this bill provided for the giving
away of these valuable rights for 90
wears without one cent of compensa-
ton to the government. To my mind
this is an outrageous proposition.
ION Saturday the gentleman from
Oklahoma CNIr. Ferris read the fol
lowing statement from the secretary
of war, who is represented as fayoring
this bill:
There is no justification for a pol
icy OF do nothing
i can not agree with the secretary
of war. This bill presents an excep-
ton to the rule. If bank employer

without giving away the peoples river

sation to the people for their property,
