der Randall Bill.

A bill providing for the construc-
ton of dams in the Grand Canyon
Of the Colorado River for irrigation.
food control and power development
purposes was introduced yesterday in
the House by Representative Randall

thor Of the measure that under the
plans proposed there can be devel-
oped a total Of 5000 O0o horsepower.
which would be utilized by the rail-
roads. mines and other industries in
a wide zone adjacent to the river.
Instead OF asking an appropriation
for building the dams, canals and
power plants. the bill provides a
unique method of financing the pro-
ject under which all the cost will be
borne by persons or corporations
which sign contracts to use the
power. In addition to furnishing
these contracts, the parties put up
collateral upon the basis Of which the
Secretary of the Treasury is author
lied to issue bonds TO provide funds
for the construction work. The bonds
in turn will be retired by the funds
collected from the users Of the power.
Similar provision is made in the
bill for the construction Of irrigation
projects for the great Imperial and
Coachella Valleys in California and
unirrigated portions OF Arizona and
other States.

ment for the return of the Ameri-

through which they expect to reap
enormous profits. were renewed in

this propaganda which has caused
this uneasiness amCng the people
who have relatives buried in
France" This magazine is the off,
cial organ of the undertskers. he
declared.
The article urged the support of
legislation designed to bring about
the early return of the soldiers
bodies, and asserted:
For nearly every American SOL
dier returned. come funeral director
will be called upon TO perform the
necessary duties Of reception and
burial"
Mr.. Caldwell announced to the
House that the War Department
has completed arrangements where
by approximately 1000 Of the
bodies inferred outside Of the war

IDEAS PROGRESSIVE

(By Hernld Len.ed Wir.l

New York, Jan. 1L-The question of
Herbert Hoover's political Affiliations,
and his attitude toward possible nomi-
nation for the Presidency by popular
demand, was referred to tonight by
Julius II. Barnes, United States
Wheat Director, in an address at the
annual convention of the National
Wholesale Dry Goods Association, in
the Waldorf-Astoria.
Il have known Herbert Hoover
intimately through several years of
close association in his work." he
said, "and 1 feel that from that
knowledge I can state for the reas-
surance of political partisans and
the encouragement of good citizens
he will never allow himself to be a
candidate for high office. nor allow
his friends to make an effort in his
behalf. unless there shall come such
indisputable evidence of spontane-
Gus and universal popular demand
that it will overwhelm his present
resolution not to enter politics.
Progressive Republican.
He is instinctively a liberal and
a progressive. His political afilia-
tions have been with the progress
sive Republicans. The partisanship
of Mr.. Hoover extends only to in
sistence on the maintenance of
equality of opportunity in this
country, and to the support of the
party exemplifying that ideal.

HAVE CABINETS
NAMED BY CANDIDATES

Senator Kenyon. of Iowa. believes
that every Presidential candidate
ought to be required to make pub
lie before election the names Of the
men he will appoint to his Cabinet
IL he should be successful. The
Senator has prepared a bill on the
subject. but may not introduce it
until after the coming election.
The idea Senator Kenyon has in
mind is to make the Presidents
Cabinet a more responsible part of
the government and to give its
members a larger share of respon-
sibility to Congress and the people.
He believes that If the people knew
the character of the Cabinet before
hand they would be in a better po-
sition to judge whether the Presi-
Dental candidate himself could
properly be entrusted with the af-
fairs of the government.

Harnessing of Water Power

Washington may soon see the
start of work on a s25,90o, 900
hydroeIeetric project by which Great
Falls would be harnessed to sup
ply power and light to the District
and suburban communities.
The Senate yesterday affirmed its
vote Of Tuesday. readopting the
Norris amendment to the water
power bill authorizing and direct
ing the power commission to con-
struct such a plant. The bill al
ready has passed the House, and
when the Norris and other amend
ments come up in committee con-
ference they will be reported out
favorably. it is believed.
Original survey for the great
plant. which would develop as high
as 1000 horsepower, was made
some years ago by army engineers,
who advocated it's establishment.
Feasibility of the project has been
definitely established and it has
also been demonstrated that light
power and perhaps heat could be
supplied to the Capital in abund-
Gnce and at minimum cost to WASH
ington office buildings, factory
and homes.
Long debate preceded the adop-
ton of the amendment and the re-
affirmation, which carried by Al to

WON'T BE TAIL TO KITE
Borah Refuses to Have Con-
gress Play Second Fiddle
To New York.

A bitter controversy has arisen
among Senators appointed on the sub
committee to investigate Russian
propaganda in the United States, over
the prospect Of having Archibald +.
Stevenson. OF New York, as the COM
mittee's counsel to conduct the in
quiry.
Stevenson is counsel for the Lusk
committee, and at least two OF the
members Of the subcommittee. would
have him assist in the investigation.
Senator Moses. chairman of the sub
committee, and Senator Knox are
practically committed to Stevenson.
Senator Borah. however. is very
much opposed to having Stevenson
named. He declared yesterday he
did not propose to have the Senate's
investigation made "a tail to the
Lusk committees kite" He said he
would insist upon having an inquiry
that would be fair to both sides Of
the Russian controversy. and that he
did not believe Stevenson is quail
fed to conduct an investigation be-
cause of his connection with the work
Of the Lusk committee.
Files Formal Protest.
A formal protest against the Sc
lection of Stevenson was filed with
Senator Moses by E. F. Jennings,
a manufacturer. Of Lehighton, Pa.
Jennings told Senator Moses that
Stevenson had shown prejudice and
unfairness" toward Ludwig c. A. X.

fore the Lusk committee, and that

treatment at his hands"
