OUR WASI1INGTONLETTE

WASHINGTON, D. Cat last the
conference report on the waterpower
bill, permitting the private lease Of
power sites on the public lands or on
navigable streams, has passed the
house.
Thus the fight for possession of the
last of the great natural resources
held by the government for the peo-
pie has been won by the private cor
porate interests. Henceforth we
shall pay more for the use of these
resources, because private capital will
claim its toll upon them. Both par
ties in congress joined in this boost
to the cost of living.
On a motion to recommit the re-
port, for certain improvements, the
vote was sc ayes and 209 nays. On
final passage the votes cast against
the bill were only 80. These included
the three members from North Dako-
ia, with Keller, Carss and Schall of
Minnesota, Browne and Lampert Of
Wisconsin and few others. Knut-
son, Steenerson, Volstead and Ander-
son of Minnesota voted for final pas
sage of the measure, as did Evans and
Riddick of Montana, French and
Smith Of Idaho, and the bulk of the
"regulars" from the West
Representative McGregor Of Buffalo,
complaining that the bill does not re-
quire the distribution of power in the
communities nearest the source, show
ed that the Niagara power is not for
sale to the city or people of Buffalo,
except to the extent of $4,000 out of a
| total of 254,000 horsepower required.
One American company, on the Amer
lean side of the Niagara river, is de-
veloping 100000 horsepower, but it
| uses that power for industrial enter
prises built on it's -own lands, and the
| city has no chance to share the ben
efits. While power from coal-burning
plants costs 5000 per horsepower at
! Buffalo, hydro-electric power at the
| switchboard costs for development and
maintenance only $19. And just
across the river the Ontario hydro
| electric commission, which is a CON-
| bination of the province with 125 mu-
inequalities in the power business, is
able to furnish power to all corners
at half the rates charged for Niagara
power on the American side.

POLITICAL FOREcASTING

Presidential nominations are set
tied every 10 minutes in the political
lobbies of congress in these last weeks
before the two old parties hold their
conventions. Just new the betting
runs in favor of the selection of Knox
or Lowden by the G. O. P. old guard,
and the steam-rolling of Johnson. AS
Johnson has announced that he will
not bolt they feel safe in giving him
rough treatment when the moment
arrives for his elimination.
For the Democratic ticket the selec.
tions are McAdoo and Cox or McAdoo
and Owen, or possibly McAdoo and
Lewis-James Hamilton Lewis of Il.
Ino1s and the pink whiskers. It is a
curious fact that official and political
Washington is utterly ignoring the
Bryan influence which may be devel
oped at San Francisco.

In conference with the National Board
of Farm Organizations at Chicago
next week. The proposed program of
discussion includes the possible for
nation of an International Council of
Agriculture for the United States and
Canada, in which the conservative ele-
ments on this side of the border,
would hold annual joint meetings with
the liberal and radical farmer ele
ments located to the north. 1t would
appear unlikely that the Canadians
would agree to such an arrangement
unless the liberal American farmers
as grouped under the new name
United Farmers of America" and
the Nonpartisan league and Farmers
National council should also be called
into the utilization.
One topic of debate at Chicago will
be the results to Canadian farmers,
thus far, of their political Gactivities.
The National Board of Farm Organi-
cations, which recently took a hostile
stand on public operation of the rail-
roads, is now going to inquire how
public operation and public ownership
are working In Canada. They say they
are willing to be convinced.
Still another topic will be the iss,ie
of militarism and the proposal that
all organized farmers on this CONT
nent use their power to reduce ar
maments and oppose militarist plans

FARM BUREAU NOTES

Growth of the Farm Bureau fedora
tion's membership and activities, in
the states and in the national field,
is the subject of much discussion
among other farm organization
spokesman here. The present balance
of opinion is that the federation has
not yet reached the point where it's
policy has been threshed out by it's
own members, and that while just
now the Greater Iowa association and
other reactionary influences are clam
orous in it's councils, the movement
will within year or two throw off
these handicaps and come out as a
real farmer movement.
Its function originally was the en-
11stment of the farmers in securing
local enforcement of the Smith-Lever
agricultural extension act for the i'm
provement of productive methods and
marketing. 1t later took on forces in
Iowa and elsewhere, and the big pack
ers in Chicago fastened themselves
upon it as protested allies. Just now
the federation representatives in
washington appear to be cropping for
road to the safeguarding of the
farmers against profiteers, and al
though the reactionary influences are
still active these are losing their hold.
The federation will not much longer
stand for private exploitation of the
railroads, nor for the meat packers
monopoly of the livestock market.
