Water Power Should Be
Conserved

Believing that the last great natural
resources belonging to and remaining
within the control of the people of this
country, to-wit the public waters, and
the power capable of development there
from, should be conserved for the public
am utterly opposed to any scheme or
plan designed or the effect of which will
be to deprive the people of full control
over that water power or to turn it over
to private monopoly to be exploited for
profit at the expense of the people of
this country.
I'm this connection it is not improper
to observe that if our forefathers could
have dipped into the future and if, in
grants of the public domain, state and
national they had reserved to the peo-
pie all mineral interests therein, the
royalties emitting precious minerals,
from coal and iron and zinc and copper
and marble and oil would now go a long
ways toward defraying the expenses of
this government.
Full control over, fair provisions for
retaking and a royalty upon each horse
power or developed power or energy
should be incorporated in any plan pro-
viding for the development or exploita-
ton Of the public waters of the United
States by private capital Therefore I
shall favor only such measures having to
do with grants or licenses touching the
development of the waterpower of this
country as will retain full control there
over in the interests of the general pub
lie, provide for retaking on fair terms
and permit the use and appropriation of
such waterpower only upon the payment
of fair royalty upon the electrical en-
ergy or power developed therefrom
1T shall be my purpose to demon
strate that one of the waterpower
bills pending in congress at this
time and much exploited in this
state as bearing the name of the
senior senator does not properly
safeguard the interests of the pub I
lie, and in my opinion, would result
in utterly depriving the people Of
their waterpower and in vesting
practically perpetual control there
of in private monopoly--without
profit to the people and virtually at
their expense.

1.-THE Mississippi river is not only a
great natural highway, but is. in fact,
a vast drainage canal carrying away the
waters falling upon the higher and
northern parts of THIS country and dis

UNIVERSAL MILITARY
TRAINING

"Believing that to be prepared for war
! liz to safeguard the peace and happiness
Of our country I am in favor of sys-
tenn Of universal military training.
whether this system should be inau-
gurated during the course and amid the
complex conditions Of the war may be
open to question IT might interfere
with or 30 confuse plans now being
worked out as to impede their progress
or cripple their efficiency. But, in my
opinion, at the earliest time consistent
with the conntry's needs and interests
uu5versal military training should be
made the fixed policy for national de-
Tense.
"such a system, placing the SONS Of
ali classes, rich and poor alike, upon the
same footing In respect Of training and
education, Is the most democratic ever
devised. Plans should be worked cut
providing not only for military training
Of our youths, but also permitting the
carrying on, during such training, Of
vocational studies, fitting them for the
duties Of nfe-all at the expense of the
general government, and which would
be insignificant compared with the enor-
nous sums necessary to carry ON this
war. Such course OF training, with &C
campaigning educational facilities, might
be carried ON In schools or colleges spe-
cially designed for that purpose or
through and by means Of institutions
of learning now in existence.
"It is not necessary to speak to the
people of Tennessee, observant of the
effects of military training upon their
sons for even a few months, as to the
benefits necessarily resultant from such
training, especially in teaching them
discipline and the best methods of car
ing for themselves. Such q system
would not be entirely novel to the people
of Tennessee. It's principle was APP
proved by our forefathers, who, early in
the last century, enacted laws requiring
Tennesseans between the ages of Is and
As to undergo military training for nj
certain number of days each year. This
system was in force in Tennessee until
our Civil War
tin my opinion 1t is not going too far
to say that If universal military train
ing had been established in this country
ten years ago, and at the outbreak Of
the war in Europe there had been behind
us and in reserve ten classes Of the
splendid young manhood Of our nation
trained in arms and fitted to care for
themselves, with two or three classes
in actual training, the Hun emperor
would have hesitated long before he
would have treacherously conspired
against us or caused to be murdered
our women and children and destroyed
our property upon the free high seas
Of the world.

ages to property upon our western
border from this great unshackled tor
rent run up into the millions of dollars.
In my opinion, the lands in the states
bordering upon this great national
highway and drainage canal-oYer which
the states have no sort of control
should be more amply protected from
ravages by recurring floods, entirely at
the expense of the general government.
Progressive Legislation for Labor
believing that labor, whether up
on the farm or in the workshop, or
in any Of the forms of human actiy-
ity, has the same right to protection
under the law as does capital, Gre
ated by labor, | shall favor such pro-
gressive legislation as may be neces-
sary to place labor upon the same
footing with capital in the matter
of organization, and to assure 1t just
recompense as the fruit of it's
efforts.
