THE HOUSE OF CONGRESS
PASSES LAND LEASE BILL
Ferris Measure to Throw Open to So
Year Rent Public Ground-Sen-
ate May Kill 1t,

Washington. - The house Saturday
passed the Ferris BILL which would
throw open to 50-year leases public
lands containing more than three
times as much water power as now is
under development in the United
States. 1t is estimated that in the IL
states which it is proposed to enter
there are about 100000 undevelop-
ed horsepower.
The bill is the result of careful
study by water power experts of all
parties. The 50-year lease feature had
the support of Secretary of the In
terror Lane, his predecessor, Walter
L. Fisher, and of Clifford Pinchot, for
mer chief foester of the United States.
Party lines were cast aside in voting
on the measure. Minority Leader
Mann was one of the strongest sup
porters. His republican colleague,
representative Mondell of Wyoming,
and other western republicans fought
it, insisting that leasing would delay
development of the sites.
Western senators are planning a
hard fight on the measure in the up-
per house.
Control of the power plants under
the bill would rest Jointly with the
state and federal governments, except
by court order, leases could not be
transferred without the consent of the
secretary Of the interior. States hav-
inb public utility boards could exers
else their full powers in regulating
rates for power and the issuance of
bonds. In states without such boards
the secretary of the interior would ex-
ercise this power.
While the house passed the Ferris
water power bill in the form reported
by the committee on public lands, it is
evident that the proceedings of the
last session are to be duplicated. The
senate committee will not accept the
measure, but will insist on the Myers
bill, as it did year ago.

Will Wait and Listen.

Washington. -After a week of open
discussion in the senate and house
congressional excitement over the for
