WATER POWER BILL DEBATED
Steinmeyer of Gage Says Market for
ELECTRICITY Will Not Justify
Big Expenditures,
HowELL's EFFORTS BROUGHT UP
CFrom a staff Correspondent

(From staff Correspondent
LINCOLN. March 1e.-(SpeciaI)-R. h.
Howell. general manager of Omaha
metropolitan water district, was throughly
griIled for his political activities by a
republican member of the house today.
Mr.. Steinmeyer OF Gage county was tho
member who assailcd him. What he said
YVES endorsed by Mr.. Tumble. democrat.
The discussion of Howelfs political
activities was in connection with tho
debate on II. r. SIS. a bill limiting franz
chise grants to water power CORPORATIONS
10 twenty-five years with the privilege
of renewal for ten years at time. Mr..
Steinmeyer opposed the bill and in speak
ing OF 1t said:
There has been a good deal Of agita-
Jion on this subject. stirred up principally
by a certain candidate for state office in
Nebraska last year. who thought the
water power question would make a good
campaign issue. He started in on It two
years ago and went out over the state
last fall telling the people that there is
energy amounting to millions of horse
power IN the rivers and streams going to
waste all the time. He proposed to spend
a lot OF public money developing this
power.
Doubts AdvisabiIity.
Now it may be that there are millions
of horse power in the rivers and streams
of Nebraska. There are also millions of
horse power in the winds that sweep over
the state and tits doubtless true that IL
what power contained in the rays of the
sun were utilized 1t could be used to heat
water in boilers and run engines, but the
nuestion is would it be practicable to do
thse things. would it be worth as much
as It cost?'
Mr.. Steinmayer stated that only 1000
horse power has been developed up to
date in Nebraska and he read letter
from an engineer saying that the present
market for electricity would not justify
the construction of canals, dams and
power plants on the Loup and Platte
rivers. He did not believe it wise to put
too many restrictions on companies seek
ing to develop powers, since they are al
ready Handicapped by natural and com
mercial conditions,
Several Issues,
Il believe there were several campaign
ISSUES last year." said Mr.. Trumble, who
followed Steinmeyer. I'VE had the water
power issue and also some rotten egg
campaign thunder"
The discussion finally got back to the
bill itself. 1t was defended by Mr. Tib-
bets. chairman of the committee, and by
Messrs. Fries. Anderson of Boyd, Mock
EFT and others. Mr.. Peterson found some
opposition to it's wording, but said he was
for the idea involved. A motion to in
definitely postpone failed to carry, and
the bill was then ordered engrossed to be
placed on final passage.
