Government Power Development

To head off possible power and nav
igation development under the Shields
Bill, the Tavener Bill for government
power plants has been introduced in
congress, 1t provides a power devel-
oping commission, fifty million dollar
bond issue, and authority to develop
water powers and sell electricity to
cities and corporations at cost. The
bill takes over to the United States all
unappropriated water powers on all
navigable streams and their tributaries
on all public lands and reservations.
1t is the opposite Of the Shields bill
which has passed the senate and seeks
to enlist private capital in constructing
power dams and deepening upper river
channels. 1t is still an open question
whether water power or coal will pro-
duce the cheaper electric current for
light, heat and power, but water power
utilized means the conservation of coal.

in a short time the stiffness and pain

Industrial Chaos in England

 The war has revealed disquieting slowness and want of grip in our think ing, both in facing the detailed indus trial and strategical problems presented to us, and in the broad issue of civic ob- lisation which it sets before the individ- ual citizen Men have been readier tc lay down their lives for cause than to make clear to themselves why they are doing so. They have gone laughing to their death in thousands to uphold the honor of the regiment, without even an unspoken thought of the larger cause It is magnificent, but it is not patriot ism nor is it the foundation on which a stable national or international organiza- ton can be built. It is the result of a century or more of individualistic indus trialism which has left us a chaos of con peting communities and corporations, each with it's own standards and pur- poses and morale, enlisting the unselfish devotion of it's members, hut too often adjusting their mutual relations in a spirit of fierce and unscrupulous compe- tition and apt to be blind to q proper sense of their relation to the whole
