Just as important to secure for the

as II is to protect them against high

All legislation should be in the pub
TIC interest, but it is not in the public
interest to pass laws which prevent
utilization of the greatest natural re-
sources of this country.
Ii Is now time to pass constructive
legislation which will enable the de-
VeIopment Of these water powers on
terms fair to the public and to pri-
Nate capital.
1t is d mistaken policy to prevent
the present development OF water
powers in the belief that III the flu
ture they will be more valuable than
now and a large source of income
to the United States government, to
these water powers. All taxation must
be uniform. Every tax laid on water
powers must be paid by the consul

sumers The correct policy is to en-
courage the developm ent of our water
powers and to protect the consumers
by provisions which will prevent ex-
tortionate charges for water power,
or too high rate of return, or more
than a reasonable return to capital
a policy which will result in both
protecting capital against conf1sca-
tons and the consumer against ex-
tOrtlOnate rates.
In addition to increasing power.
the bill will add to navigation on the
Connecticut River. The present dam
has been built since 1887. The plan
is now to relocate the dam at the
foot of the rapids instead of at their
head, and, through locks and canals,
to provide a continuous journey from
Hartford to Springfield and Holyoke.
No one, l am sure, feels that our
waterways should be left to the ex-
