WATER POWER BILL
HAS Been SIGNED
Opens Up Vast Resources.
Measure Had Been Ten
Years Pending.

Washington.-The water power de-
velopment bill, ten years in the max
ing, passed by congress just before
adjournment, has been signed by
President Wilson, it was announced
Friday.
Accompanying the announcement
was statement that the president had
acted after being advised by the attor-
ney general that adjournment of con-
gress had not deprived him of the ten
days allowed by the constitution for
the consideration of a measure.
The new law releases power for al
most unlimited industrial development
in this country and is considered one
of the most important laws enacted
during the Sixthy-sixth session.
By its terms a commission, COM
posed of the secretary of war, secre-
tary of agriculture and secretary OF
the interior, is authorized to lease wa
ter power rights on all public lands,
or reservations, Indian reservations
and on navigable streams for terms
not exceeding fifty years. At the end
of the lease period the government has
the option of taking over the plants
that have been built at an appraised
valuation, or releasing or of leasing to
some other concern.
Inquiries received by the depart
ment of the interior indicate there will
be an immediate rush of capitalists to
obtain leases. The water power COM
mission is authorized to specify the
royalties on the leases that will be
charged.
The effect of the law is expected to
be particularly noticeable in the West,
where undeveloped water power sites
are plentiful.
1t is estimated that the potential
horse power available on the sites
under government control is $4,000
900, which is more than the total OF
AZ 900 900 horse power now in opera
tion in all water, steam and gas-op-
Grated plants in the country. Most of
the 100000 horse power is east Of
the Mississippi River and north Of
kentucky and West Virginia. The po-
tential 54,0OO,000 additional horse
power is mostly west of the Dakotas,
Nebraska and Kansas.
1t is expected factories will start in
various Western points. calling opera
tives from the overcrowded Eastern
cities An early result, it is predict
ed, will be the identification of rail-
roads, conserving coal and oil. which
are becoming scarce and costly.
The final approval of the water
power bill marks the end Of years of
agitation. Persons favoring conserva-
ton of government resources have in
sisted upon extreme care to protect
federal rights. The bill as passed was
drawn by government attorneys, who
believe necessary protection is given,
at the same time permitting Industrial
progress to be made.

which has consented to cooperate with

Hughes Holds
Lever Law Not
Constitutional
Indictment Against Armours
for Excessive Lamb
Prices Faulty, He Con-
tends. Pressing Demurrer
Cites Lack of Standard
Judge Hand Reserves Deci-
sion; May Await u. S.
Supreme Court Ruling

Charles E. Hughes. counsel for j..
Ogden Armour, F. Edison White and
other officials of Armour 4 Co., argued
in support OF q demurrer yesterday be-
fore Judge A. n. Hand in the United
States District Court that the Lever
act is unconstitutional.
Armour & Co., It's president, J. Og-
den Armour. and other officials were
indicted on 13I counts recently Each
count cited an alleged unfair transac-
ton in New Zealand lamb, in violation
Of Section / Of the Lever act as
amended.
Speaking in support of the demurrer,
Mr. Hughes challenged the unconstitu-
tionality, construction and sufficiency
Of the Indictment and argued that at
this time the Lever act cannot be sus-
tanned under the war power
He said that Section is uncertain
and indefinite and therefore invalid
under the fifth and sixth amendments
Of the Constitution because it makes
an arbitrary classification and is dis
criminatory.
Law Fixes No Standard
Mr.. Hughes raised the question of
that IS fair or an excessive price. He
said that by the wording of Section 4
such construction must be under
stood because 1t is not therein stated.
''Assuming,' he said, "the Lever act
10 be valid, although the question of
its constitutionality is now pending be-
fore the Supreme Court. it must be re-
membered that it creates no standard,
defines no standard and suggests no
standard.
AS it does not, therefore, Excessive
prices must be taken to refer to some
standard known to the law Therefore
What is unjust or unreasonable must
be considered in the light of some
STANDARD set up by the law"
He said that as each of the counts
III the Indictment referred to a par
;icular sale, it was incumbent upon the
government to show the standard it
Gains was violated.
1t is not fair he said, "to take the
profit made on the sale of particular
article and allege it to be unjust or
unreasonable. What man could run
his business on the profit of single
sale without otFendingo"
Lester S. karer, special prosecuting
-ttorney for the government. argued
mat the Indictment was properly drawn
ard should be allowed to stand against
tie defendants. He urged that the
question Of the reasonabieness or un-
leasonableness Of the price charged for
,hc lamb was one for the jury to
cclle.
Judge Hand. at the conclusion of the
srment reserved decision. He in
mated that he might delay his find
ngs IN the case Until the decision of
ae Supreme Court had been rendered.
This is expected within the next two
