WATER-POWER BILL
BATTLE IN HOUSE
Presidents Stand Against
Net Investment Feature
Brings on Fight.

Members Of the House lined up Tor
a fight today when an amendment to
the administration water-power bill
setting forth President Wilson'S
views on the recapture clause was
taken up. The amendment, offered
by Representative Ferris OF oklaho-
ma, seeks to eliminate the provision
that the government or municipality
shall pay the net investment on
power project II public ownership IS
desired at the end Of license periods,
and stipulates instead that the pay
ment shall be made on fair val
uation not to exceed actual cost.
President Wilson recently made
known his views on tho subject in a
letter to Chairman Sims Of the special
was opposed to. the net investment
feature and asked that this section OF
the bill be restored to the form IN
which it was drawn up by the Secre-
taries OF War, Agriculture and COM
merce.
Leaders in the Fight.
Representative Esch Of Wisconsin,
ranking republican on the Water
power committee. and Representative
Sinnot Of Oregon led the fight in
support Of the net Investment pro-
vision and Representative Ferris was
the leading supporter OF the fresl-
dents view.
Western irrigation projects are
specifically EXEMPTED from the pro-
visions Of the bill.
Representative Taylor Of Colorado,
author Of the amendment, insisted
that the proposed waterpower COM
mission. made up Of the Secretaries
of War, Agriculture and Interior.

| projects properly are given perpetual
rights, which should not be hampered
| by a control devised to administer

Representative Raker Of California
amendment, saying Secretary Houston
had favored comforting irrigation
authority on the waterpower commits
sion.
For Government Ownership.
The amendment by Representative
Sims Of Tennessee, chairman Of the
special waterpower committee. pro-
viding for compulsory government
| ownership at the expiration Of license
periods, was defeated. Under the
proposal private corporations having
licenses to develop waterpower would
have paid the government an amorti-
! zation fee based on the horsepower
capacity of the plants, and when the
payments reached the value of the
projects the amount would be return
ed and the title to the property
vested in the United States.
Representative Esch said that a
twenty million dollar plant would
pay $625,000 annually and that such
charge would discourage invest
ment.

duction of rifles. machine guns and
some types Of artillery.
In majority of the twenty-four
plants at work on artillery contracts,
however, he said. the flow Of manu-.
facture had not yet reached the pro-
ductiop stage. The output of 155-mi1-
limeter howitzers is an exception to
that statement, approximately $50
weapons Of this caliber having been
shipped to France.
The flow of Browning machine guns
from the plants is increasing rapidly.
From 5000 to 1000 heavy and from
5000 to 5000 light Brownings q

enough to meet all requirements in

to supply large numbers Of these
weapons for training in the United

There is no shortage Of powder or
Of quartermaster supplies. The rife
production is steady at about 100000

CALL FOR SKILLED MEN
 FOR VOLUNTARY INDUCTION

To All Members and Chief Clerks o1
 Local Boards and Chairmen, Coun
 ty Councils of Defense:
 There is an immediate demand fol skilled men in various units of the army, needed by General Pershing The Selective service machinery must produce these skilled men. Delay IT l the several states in completing the occupational cards precludes re- sort to the cards to secure these men and makes it necessary to improvise temporary plan for the purpose About 12,O00 men will be needed in the near future, which we hope to get by voluntary induction under the fol lowing temporary plan.
 A copy of the list of occupations of men who are needed now was sent you yesterday. Will you please give the widest publicity to this urgent call. A column on the front page ef every newspaper in our state could we'll be devoted to this purpose and headed Nations Want Column Qualified registrants should be urged to present themselves to your board' The office of the Provost Marshal General is without an appropriation to pay for this advertising, but the patriotism of the American press IS relied upon to aid in every way Tn their power.
 The military duty and training of these skilled men will be interesting, and the men who succeed in securing induction into the branches of the service to be filled will receive mate rial personal benefit, which will aid them in advancement both in their army career and in after life.
 It is suggested that you make use of bulletin boards throughout your county, on which should be placed copies of the enclosed list. This would doubtless result in large number of applicants presenting themselves to local boards.
 Inductions must not be made at this time however. When regis trants present themselves to their local boards, they should be listed (not inducted), and on April 29 local boards should notify this office of the number of men who have volunteered for each of the different occupations, stating number of men separately under each occupation. This office will report by wire on Aprib 3Oth to the office of the Provost Marshal General, giving number of volunteers under the different occupations.
 As soon as the office of the Pro- yost Marshal General received re- ports from all over the county, it will make definite allotments to each state, and advice will be given to you through this office as to complete mobilization details.

 The Adjutant General.
