OBJECTS To ADOPTION Of
NEWLANDS RESOLUTION
Senator Norris Thinks Railway In
curry Now Would Prevent Any
Other Investigation.

Senator Norris of Nebraska. in the
Senate today. objected to the adoption
of the Newlands resolution for an in
vestigation of railroad legislation and
the adequacy of the interstate COM
merce commission, declaring that the
investigation, which would be lengthy
one. unlikely to report until after the
coming national election. would serve
to prevent any other investigation that
might be proposed.
Much of the difficulty in which the
railroads, both honest and dishonest,
found themselves. he said was due to
rotten financial management. Every
railroad stock and bond has right to
be as substantial as d government
bond" he said 1T has been something
of gambling operation to invest in
railroad securities 1 would like to
see a law passed that would put men
behind the bars just as much for steal
ing millions as for stealing pennies"
Senator Norris said he regretted that
the proposed law giving the interstate
commerce commission power to investi-
gate the issuance of securities by rail-
roads had failed of passage. The sena-
tor said that the legislative branch of
Congress already was sufficiently in
formed regarding the railroad situa-
ton to 1egislate now, and asserted that
the administration was seeking to
postpone responsibility for action at
this time.

Discusses Available Power.

Concerning available water power in
the United States. the report says:
Reliable authorities estimate that
there is about 100000 water horse
power in the United States. The total
available waterpower of all countries
of Europe is 35,965,eoO horsepower
The United States geological sur
vey estimates that 44,e4S,000 horse
potential available horsepower in the
United States is contained in the prin-
cipal public land states, and of this
amount less than 100000 horsepower
is now being utilized, which shows a
frightful waste from neglect and lack
of proper legislation.
The great fields in the developmen mt
of this country await the magic touch
of electrical power for wonderful re-
suits and untold benefit. They are:
The use of pumping plants for putting
water on arid lands for irrigation pur-
poses, the identification of railroads
and the production of fertilizers, ex-
pIosives and electro chemicals"
The compensation section Of the SEN
ate bill for lands leased provides that
so per cent of all revenue received from
leases shall be paid each year by the
Secretary of the Treasury directly to
the state in which the plant may be
