Every person ana every organiza- ton, in fact, the whole people. iudg- Ing from what has been said and written on the subject, are in favor Of having congress make provision for utilizing the immense water power in this country which is now going to waste. By petitions, memorials. votes of organizations and other ac- hvities, congress is besieged to make provision for harnessing the millions in water power that now run wild"
 For many years propositions have been pending in congress to carry out this very idea. the utilization of the water power of the country for manu- featuring, making electric light, and using 1t for whatever is necessary. Sometimes the senate passes a bill and sometimes the house passes a bill for utilizing water power. The two bills are never alike: in fact, the differences between the senate and house on this subject have been so pro- nounced that it has been impossible to enact legislation of any kind.
 Recently the administration has taken hold of the subject and a bill has been prepared by three different de- partments interested. the war depart ment, rhe interior department. and the agricultural department The house has gone to the extent of creating a water power committee, made up of men from three different committees of the house, who are supposed to be in control of various phases of water

True to its policy, the house consid- cred the subject of postal salaries more important than the big meas ures of finance, war and commerce, and in fact any other subject that has come up during the session. The in terest manifested in one bill alone, that increases the salaries of post of flee employees outside of the city of Washington, aroused more intense in- terest than almost any other single bill certainly resulted in more lively de- bates-"scraps" they might be called as they often developed into wordy contests between members on the floor wherein each tried to bawl the other out and the man with the loudest voice had the advantage. At such times the presiding officer would nearly split his gavel trying to maintain order, but without success.
 Perhaps the interest of all the mem- bers of the house Tn the salary ques- ton can be explained by the fact that they know about salaries and wages, while they are not so very well in- formed about high finance and similar subjects. The real explanation. how ever, is that nearly every member has a constituent who Is more or less in- terested in the question of salaries of government employees.

The United States senate has way all it's own and no other legislative body or business organization proceeds in a like manner or under similar rules. The senate will start in earn estly on one subject and debate it for little while in the morning. Then it will shift to another and there will be talk on that. Perhaps very impor- tant bill will be brought up. Dozens of senators will descant upon it's i'm portance, and after that bill has been under vigorous discussion, oftentimes with important amendments suggest ed, it will be laid aside and another measure taken up.
 Sometimes senators complain of this method of doing business and the in- congruities of such methods of legis- lation are pointed out. Why not take up a measure and finish it and then go on to something else?" they often ask. Probably from the time the senate has been in existence, certainly for at least 50 years according to men who have been around the body that long, the senate has been proceeding very much along the lines that are now in vogue and the answer to all the "why7 questions has been the samt as it is now; that Is. such questions are never answered.

After man has been in the senate for term or two, he generally nas developed into an incurable optimist or an incurable cynic-or often a mixture of the two. There is no place like the senate chamber for breeding sarcasm, and not a day goes by with out some ironic references having been made. Senator Gore of Oklahoma re- marked recently that an appropriation of S100000 for the eradication of certain potato disease, which had been included in former agricultural bills, was not a part of the 191S-19 bill as the disease had finally been stamped out.
 "Ahl" interjected Senator Gallinger. ''That is one of the most remarkable things that has ever been brought to my attention-that an appropriation disappeared from the bill the succeed ing year"
 T mention it." replied Gore. "as a novelty without precedent and proba- ably without parallel in the future"

In times such as these there are bound to be explosions. Several weeks ago everything was running along smoothly. and then there was the Chamberlain explosion, which result ed in several days of ardent debate of more or less partisan nature. Then the country settled down and Wash fngton seemed to be very quiet, when all at once the senate blew up with a bang Senator Lodge lifted the lid and other senators followed in severe criticism of the failure to properly put the army in fighting trim and fur nish it with all the implements that 1t needed.
 No doubt the last explosion was due to the nervous condition of senators who were just then feeling very ap- prehensive on account of the great German drive. Probably there will be similar explosions as the war pro- gresses, for it is not In the order of things for everybody to be satisfied with the conduct of the war.

It is quite likely that many things will be done on account of the war, and among them we may finally reach point where price fixing will be adopted. Notwithstanding the dec lamations against it that have been heard in both houses of congress, and the assertion that we have passed no law authorizing anybody to fix prices of commodities, it is a fact that there has been a great deal of price fixing on many of the important articles of commerce in this country. And what is more, there will be a general price fixing if the so-called ''profiteers" con- tinue to abuse the patience eS the gov ernment by charging eXorbitant prices for the necessaries of life.
 There are a great many things which the war may do before it is ended, and this much may be set down as certain Whatever is necessary to win the war, that will be done, whether 1t is fix ing prices of commodities. fixing wages of labor, or doing anything else that Is required to make q success of the greatest undertaking of all time.
