to come. While purporting to be
for fifty years only. the bill is SO in
geniously worded that the franchises
go on forever. The only right pre-
tended to be reserved to the United
States Is that at the end iof the fifty
year period It may take over the
dams and accessory works and trans
mission lines upon paying therefor
their full value. This means abso-
lutely nothing, for II under the con-
stitution the United States would

Electricity and hydro-electric
power is still in its infancy. What
the public interest may require fifty
years hence. no man can tell. The
slightest regard for the public inter-
est would cause the insertion Of q
provision in the bill to the effect that
at the end Of the fifty year period,
the United States either through
Congress, or duly authorized Of
.ficers. would have the right to renew
the franchise upon new terms and
conditions. and that until such re-
newal was had; the possession Of the
grantee of the franchise should be
temporary only.
Expense to Government.
"Under the present law II dam
Is erected across q navigable stream,
any future expense In the interest OF
navigation occa2ioned by the exist
ence of the dam, must be borne by
the grantee of the franchise, IL the
secretary of war and chief of en-
gineers so stipulate in their approval
of the project. All this Is changed
in this bill by requiring the secretary
OF war and chief OF engineers to des-
ignate in the beginning upon the
approval Of the project, such locks,
booms, sluices or other structures as
the grantee shall be required to
make. This means that for all time
to come the grantee can be put to
no expense In these matters made
necessary by the existence Of Its dam,
unless 1t is foreseen and provided for

government can be. put to millions

Water Power Bill, Approved by
President, in Behalf of Big
Trust.

WASHINGTON, D. G., July -
The Adamson water power bill, re-
ported from the House committee on
Interstate and Foreign Commerce,
and championed by Representative
Underwood, the Democratic floor
leader, Is "a bill Of the water power
interests" according to the state
ment by Representative Irvine L.
Lenroot. Of Wisconsin. That the bill
has the endorsement Of President
Wilson has been stated. Mr.. Lenroot
says, by both Mr.. Underwood, the
floor leader, and Judge ;Adamson. OF
Georgia. chairman Of the committee
which reported 1t.
This bill Is the most complete
surrender to the water power inter-
ests Of the country that has ever
been attempted by any administra-
tion," declares Mr.. Lenroot. 1t can
only be compared to the railroad land
grant scandals OF generation ago
with much less excuse or justifica-
tfon.
Servant OF Trusts.
'ln the palmiest days Of Aldrich
and Cannon In the Republican party
a bill SO destructive of public rights
would never haye been dreamed Of.
and It remains for the Democratic
party. the party whose boast Is that
1T is the foe of special privilege, to
become the servant Of one Of the
most vicious forms OF special inter-
ests, the water power trust.
Some Of the vicious features Of
the bill include:

"The bill pretends to give. to the

ever the same enters into Interstate

Joker In the proviso. this power is
ediately taken away, wherever
there Is a state commission with adj

there is no discrimination between

no authority to regulate charges
when the bushes is interstate; the
power of the secretary of war is

will be no regulation over interstate
rates at all.
should Not Pass.
For many years in every fran
chise granted to any bridge or dam
company the right to alter, amend or
repeal the act has been reserved.
This bill provides that this can only
be done in case Of violation OF the
charter by the company. So for all
time to come the rights and privi-
leges Of any water power company
coming under the bill are fixed, and
there can be no change Of its fran
chise or rights, hut they go irrevo-
cably and forever.
The act is made to apply to exist
ing dams now in operation and au-
thorizeds This will give existing
dams the benefits Of the bill to an
even greater extent than new enter

interest are nullitied and done away

THE COLONEL MIsSTATEs.

Colonel Roosevelt has made a DO,
iitical speech devoted chiefly 10 the
necessity for the maintenance OF m,
Monroe doctrine. He criticlzes the
peace treaties which have just been
ratified by the United States senate
on the ground that they would per
nit another country 10 seize or pur-
chase territory on the western hemis-
phere and while the year OF delay for
inquiry was pending might make a
Gibraltar which would require vast
amount Of blood and treasure on the
part OF the United States later to re-
duce.
As usual. the colonel deals In half
truths. Under the terms Of the treaty
the nations in dispute are compelled
TO maintain the military and naval
status existing when the differences
arose. The moment nation that had
occupied Magdalena bay. for In
stance, began to fortify It. the treaty
would be violated and this country
would be free 10 declare war or take
any other course desired.
Mr. Roosevelt Is too wise not to
know that contract cannot be bind
ng on one party to It after Il has
been brceched by the other. lie
should not resort to so palpahle
'allacy IN order TO make point
lgainst the Wilson administration.
