Administration Water Power Bill

A. L. Fontaine, of the Grand Rapids
Reporter, has received an important
communication from Clifford Pinchot
on the water power legislation, which
says that the administration water
power bill, now before congress opens
the way to save for the people of the
United States their most valuable nat
ural asset. Some fifty million water
horsepower is at stake.
The bill il question was formulated
under the direction of the secretary
of agriculture, the secretary of war,
and the secretary of the interior, was
submitted to the president for his APP
prevail, and recently put forward as
an administrative measure. 1t deals
with waterpower in national forests,
public lands, Indian lands, and navi-
gable streams. A special committee OF
the house has been created to con-
slider it.
1t is an admirable measure, drawn
with thorough knowledge and unus-
ual skill The principles essential for
the wise use and development of our
public water powers in the public in
terest are all embodied in it.
In ny letter to you of November
Is, 1917, 1 urged your supporr of the
following seven definite principles in
water power legislation:
1. The thing to do with water
power is to develop it. Whatever re-
tards or restricts the development OF
public water powers on terms fair to
the public is against public policy and
hostile to the general welfare.
2. Water power belongs to the
people The sites where it is produced
should always be held in public hands,
for only so can effective control in
the general interest be secured.
3. Where public development is not
desired, the right to use water power
sites should be leased for periods
long enough to permit sound, attrac-
tive, and profitable investment, but
never longer than fifty years. AT
the end of each lease all rights should
return to the people who gave them.
4. In order to protect the con-
sumer against contortion, rates and
service should be regulated by federal
authority when state or local authOri-
ties fail to do so.
S. Reasonably prompt and com
plete development and continuous op'
Grafton, subject to market conditions
should be required. Already millions
Of water horsepower are held out Of
use to further monopoly by private
corporations.
6. Corporations or individuals who
make money out of rights granted by
the people should share their profits
with the people.
T. The public has a right to com
piete information about every bust
ness based on the use of public prop
erty.
1t is a real pleasure to tell you
that everyone of these principles is
fully safeguarded in the administra
tons water power bill. What re-
mains, therefore, is for congress tC
put this measure through without de-
lay.
The passage of this law will secure
to the American people forever vast
resources whose use for the good OF
all will make this land a safer and {
better place to live in. All the forces
. of conservation are behind it,

Sees Difficulties in Party Union

Andrew l.. Kreutzer, leading Wis
consin Republican, who has been MAX
ing patriotic addresses throughout the
state, was in Milwaukee Saturday.
Asked for his opinion of recent de-
velopments in Washington, and his
views on the situation, he said:
"The question of whether or not the
Democratic and Republican parties
shall join and support a fusion ticket
has been raised. Upon that question,
1 have only this to say: The history
of democracy, and particularly the
history of this country, shows that
there must always be two dominant
parties; one supports the government
and the other becomes by force of cir
cumstances a party of criticism and
opposition. In such a crisis as this,
past party utilization ought not to be
a decisive factor in the determination
of any citizen as to what course he
will pursue The only question is,
shall the government be supported or
shall it be opposed and criticized?
Under such conditions it seems to
me practically impossible to unite two
antagonistic political forces. Mil

The proposed closing of the
Columbia Slough by the con
struction of a dam at Union
avenue is far from pleasing to
the residents of the lower
peninsula. The people down
here want the slough kept open
and dredged out instead of
closed. Certainly the closing
of this important water way
would prove highly detrimental
to this section. What we want
is more water frontage instead
of less. 1t is hoped that the
City Commission will do all
in its power to head the closing
movement oil
