 Two methods of development possible. One may be learned from the Shields bill which has again passed the Senate. The other is implicit in the ad. ministration bill which is pending in the House. The Shields bill has been continuously fought by vationists The administration bill in it's previous forms has been obsructed by that potent group which believes that national should be transferred to private At other sessions neither element has the strength for victory.
 The administration bill should be passed It provides for leases not longer than fifty years It provides that the water power nation ally owned shall be returned to the government at the expiration of the leases. It provides suf- fciently long to investors fair It pro. tects the public interest Of it Clifford Pnchot says
 "The bill in question formulated under the direction of the Secretary of Agriculture, the Secre- tary of War and the Secretary of the Interior was submitted the President for his approval and was recently put forward administration measure. The measure is practical, fair and wise. The passage of this law will the American peo. pie forever vast whose for the good of all will make this land safer and better place to live in"
 The Administration should be enacted without delay. This the time for stripping the nation of it's possession
