TO OPEN COUNTRYS
VAST WATER POWER
PREPARATIONS FOR DEVELOP
ING WONDERFUL RESOURCES
OF WEST UNDER WAY

WASHINGTON.- Regulations fol
sae administration Of the Federal act
opening up the country's vast water
power resources to private develop
ment are now being drafted. AS
soon as they are completed the Wat
empower Commission, composed of
the secretaries of war, Interior and
agriculture, will hold hearings on
them.
The Commission, of which Secret
ary Baker has been appointed chair
man by President Wilson, will hold
its first meeting Immediately upon
Secretary Payne's return from AL
aska about August 5. The hearings
on the regulations will be pushed as
speedily as possible so that the water
power legislation, which has been ten
years in the making, can be put into
effect without undue delay.
The tentative regulations are be-
ing drawn up by a special committee
of the war, interior and agricultural
departments. 1t is composed of Ma
jor General Enoch H. Crowder, rep
resenting the war department; O.
c.. Merrill, waterpower expert in the
forestry service, who has been desig-
mated executive secretary of the COM
mission and H. A. Stabler, of the In
terror department.
Members of the committee say the
regulations will be extensive and
that they probably will be announced
in series, with open hearings on each
group before they are made final.
Those relating to form and condition
of application for survey permit or
licenses will be the first announced.
The most difficult problem involved
in drawing up the regulations, mem
bers Of the committee say, is that of
establishing a uniform system of ac-
counting for licensees as required by
the act.
Under the Waterpower Bill the
commission is empowered to issue
licenses for period not exceeding
SO years. The licensees will pay
to the government reasonable annual
charges in an amount to be fixed by
the commission. Upon the expira-
ton of any license the government,
if two years notice in writing has
been given by the commission, will
have the right to take over and op-
crate any water power development
after payment Of the net investment
of the licensee in the project or pro-
jects taken, not to exceed the fair
value of the property plus such rea-
sonable damages, if any, to property
of the icensee as may be caused by
the severance therefrom of property
taken
In cases where such notice has not
been given the government also will
have the right to take over upon
mutual agreement with the llcenSee
any property developed under the
terms of the bill subject to the pay
ment Of the net investment.

THE CONGRESSIONAL
RECORD COSTS LESS
COST OF PRINTING TALKS OF
OONGRESSMEN DECREASED
FROM TWO YEARS AGO

WASHINGTON cost Of pub
fishing the Congressional Record, the
government publication decording
daily everything that is said and
done in Congress, as well as some
things outside, was $537 $40 last year
practically the same as for 1918, but
almost 100000 less than the 1917
cost.
The figures were given recently by
Russell 0. Beene, accountant at the
government printing office, in an
swer to an inquiry of Representative
Magee, of New York, as to the pos
sible saving that would result from
the discontinuance of the record. Mr..
Beene gave the cost for 1917 as
$8O1 ,79O.88 and for 1918 as $537, $40.
Cornelius Ford, the public printer,
was asked for an explanation of the
high figure in 1917, but confessed
his ignorance unless it happened
that congress "did more talking" that
year. Mr.. Ford said that in 1917
congress was in session $50 days; in
1918, 307 days, and in 1919, 279 days.
The printed pages in the Record
for these years were 652, ,511 1854 in
1917; Sc ;672,587 in 1918; and 1885,
13O, ,45O in 1919. The cost of paper
has increased greatly within the past
three years, but the use Of lighter
and less expensive quality has helped
reduce the aggregate cost of the
paper used. For 1919, the paper
cost was $13O,OOO as compared with
$162,000 in 1918 and 100000 in 1917.
