with these powers surrendered to great
monopolzing combination of water-power COM
panies it can be seen that independence in bust
ness will have been become an impossibility.
1.-THE conservationists insist that no grant of
power should be for longer period than fifty
years and that when the grant is made there
should be retained in the government the right to
prevent combination among water-power COM
panies and to protect the public by regulating
rates SO that extortion may be made impossible.
"At the expiration Of the grants, they insist,
the government shall possess the right to take
over the power plant, operate it for the good of
the public or lease it to any other corporation
which guarantees that the public interest will be
even better cared for in the future than it has
been in the past. The government would be au-
thorized also to continue the lease of the original
corporation if the conduct of that corporation
has been satisfactory.
"The conservationists also urge that if the
water power is taken away from the company
that originally developed it, the government shall
recompense that company for it's investment up
on basis of fairness alike to the company and
to the public.
"The Shields bill, while it also provides for
leases of fifty years, places many obstacles in
the way of recovery by the government that the
termination of the lease would not terminate pri-
vate control unless the government were to COM
ply with many unfair and improper requirements
Even then the government would be able to
recover the power site only upon the payment of
tremendous of money for all the unearned
increment in the value of the plant during it's op
GRAFTON, the estimated value of the good will of
the business and the estimated value of all equip
ment.
''In addition to this the bill does not provide
any effective method of regulating the rates. so
that the greater the extortion practiced by the
leasing company during the term of it's lease the
higher valuation it could place upon the plant
when the government should attempt to take it
over"

The Shields Water Power Bill.

While the country is watching closely the
progress of international events and the contro-
versy between President Wilson and congress
over the contention with Germany regarding
armed merchantmen, persistent effort is being
made to force the Shields water power bill
through the senate.
1t has been demonstrated that this bill can
not pass the senate at times when public atten-
ton is watching closely domestic affairs. The
present effort is made at time when it is be-
lieved that the public is so engrossed watching
the course of international complications that it
will not protest against the grab. The raiders of
our national resources believe they will be able
to slip the measure through the senate and the
house while the defenders of conservation are
watching other grave problems.
The Shields water power bill will rob the pub
lie of it's rights in the water power sites of the
United States. If it becomes law every grant
of water power site under it's provisions will be
a grant in perpetuity.
The following facts pertaining to the relation
of the Shields bill to water power rights have
been compiled:
with the promised application of electrical
power in all manufacturing transportation and
other industrial and mechanical enterprises, it is
seen that after fifty years the control of the
ter powers, which will always provide the cheap
est methods of developing electrical power, will

CHAPTER I.

There is a midland city in the heart
of fair. open country, dirty and won
derful city nesting dinghy in the fog
of its own smoke. The stranger must
feel the dirt before he feels the won
der. for the dirt will be upon him in
stantly. At breeze he must smother
in whirlpools of dust, and IL he should
decline at any time to inhale the smoke
he has the meager alternative of sui
eide.
Not quite so long ago as a genera
tion there was here no heavlng, grimy
city; there was but a pleasant big town
of neighborly people who had under
standing of one another.
But there was a spirit abroad In the
land, and it was strong here as else
where-a spirit that had moved In the
depths of the American soil and la
bored there, sweating, till it stirred the
surface, rove the mountains, and
emerged, tangible and monstrous, the
god of all good American hearts-Big-
ness. And so the place grew. And it
grew strong.
! The Sheridan building was the big
gest skyscraper; the Sheridan Trust
company was the biggest of its kind,
and Sheridan himself had been the big
gest builder and breaker and truster
and buster under the smoke. He had
come from country crossroads. at
the beginning Of the growth. and he
had gone up and down in the booms
and relapses Of that period; but each
time he went down he rebounded a
little higher, until finally, after year
of overwork and anxiety-the latter
not decreased by chance, remote but
possible. of recuperation from the for
mer in the penitentiary-he found
himself on top, with solid substance
under his feet; and thereafter played

undated, for it was in the very bones
of him and grew fiercer.

CHAPTER u.

Beginning at the beginning and
learning from the ground up was
long course for Bibbs at the santa
rum, with milk and "zwieback" as
the basis of instruction; and the
months were many and tiresome be-
fore he was considered near enough
graduation TO go for a walk leaning
on nurse and cane. These and sub
sequent months saw the planning, the
building and the completion of the new
house. and it was to that abode OF
Bigness that Bibbs was brought when
the cane, without the nurse, was
found sufficient to his support.

Edith did not turn her eyes directly
toward him again, after her first quick
glance; and her expression, in spite
of her, showed faint, troubled dis
taste. She was nineteen, fair and slim,
with small, unequal features, but a
prettiness of color and brilliancy OF
eyes that created total impression
close upon beauty. There was some
thing about her, as kind old ladies say,
that was very sweet; and there was
something that was hurried and
breathless. Bibbs bent upon her a
steady, whimsical scrutiny as they
stood at the curb. waiting for an au-
tomobile across the street to disengage
itself from the traffic

"Oh, no; that was all right"
You can't think how busy we've

"We've been having very bright
weather this month-for u.s." She
blew the fake of SCOT into the air,
seeming relieved.

wherein hung the disconsolate sun like
cold tin pan nailed up in a smoke

ton. "Yes," said Bibbs. "Its very

broke off, flushing again, and then
went on hastily: "0f course, mammals
