travel than an ordinary man?
Two bills which are before
congress which should not be
passed are The Shields Wat
err bill, Senate Bill 1881; and
the Meyers Water Power Bill,
H. B. 4O8. The Importance of
these bills lies especially in the
fact that they are giving away
the water power which lies
back of the future development
of electricity for light, heat and
power. The future belongs to
electricity. Water power is the
most important means of deve-
Looping electrical energy of all
kinds. The: monopolies see the
advantage and are doing their
utmost to- seize every possible
source of water power on the
continent. If these bills pass
they will succeed. Write your
congressman Immediately pro-
testing against these bills.
