Water Power and the National Parks

on the unanimous consent calendar and Smith of Idaho, who is champion ing the bill which grants an irrigation reservoir site in Yellowstone National park, promptly objected to It's con sideration. He withheld his objection while Elston of California set forth various changes that he was ready to make to meet objections and added:
 II would further state that, in re- gard even to the use of the waters In this additional area, that subject is covered by the water-power act, and all those waters are now available for use under the administration of the water power commission. I hope that this statement will satisfy the gentle man that all his basic objections to this bill have been met. Unless he is opposed to the general proposition of adding 8 new wonderland of alpine scenery to an existing park he should permit this bill to be considered at this time"
 After some debate Smith of Idaho said: "On general principles 1 am op- posed to tying up in a national park any public lands which might be used for the conservation Of water for irri- gation purposes or might be used for the development of water power; and l therefore object

A Federal Library Information Service

" HERE is bill pending in con-
 Il gress to provide for q library in formation service in the bureau of education. Senator Mclean of Con- necticut spoke in favor of the bill the other day and said. among other things:
 '"The bill proposes to make avail able to the federal government the services of the libraries of the United States as centers for the dissemina- saon of information prepared by the government for the people. The li- braaies are especially fitted to place government printed matter before the people, because they are supported by the taxes of the people for the benefit of the pesple, and are nonpartisan in their attitude.
 If the education of the American people with regard to the functions and actions of their government Is an economy measure, this bill Is one of the most economic measures ever re- ported by congressional committees. Even if 1t must be considered purely from dollars-and-cents' point of view, 1t will stand the test. Sena- tor SL1oot recently said: It would be

 Mr. Wood.-"That was the estimate made in the senate and the gentle man from Texas understands that 1t would be lese majesty to attempt any cutting in our neighbours household"
 MT. Smith-"Mr. Chairman, I desire te offer an amendment, at the botto1E of page IS, to insert the following. For packing boxes, $6,000 or so much thereof as may be necessary"

No Cedar Boxes for the House This Year

EVERY now and then congress con 1I siders a very important and seri- ous subject-lil1e packing boxes. The house was considering the sundry civil bill by items. Here are parts of the debate on packing boxes;
 Mir Mann-"T move to strike out the last word. The next item in the current law is provision for packing boxes. It was left out of this bill. I think there is an item in the bill for packing boxes for senator's
 MT. Wood-"Nine hundred and sev- enty dollars
 Mr. Mann-'1t is not s matter of any very great importance to me per sonally, but was wondering what the special reason was for refusing to make provision for packing boxes, especially for the new members of the next house."
 Mir. Wood-"We appropriated $6,000 for this purpose last year. The clerk. who has the expenditure in charge as- certained that he could not get the boxes without paying three times as much as the appropriation and three times as much as he formerly paid for them. Tn view of that fact, no boxes were purchased"
 MT. Mann. purpose of provid- ing packing boxes was to furnish box es which could be used in carrying off cial documents back and forth between Washington and our homes, including

more accurate to estimate the waste h government publications to be near ly million dollars year. If for SIS, TOO, the cost of the service, which is about one fifty-fourth of a million, even one-tenth of the material could be salvaged, the new office would have justified itself as an economy measure.
 "The American people support ex- pensive research sections in practical ly every department of the govern ment. IL is their right to have access to the results of this work which ap- pear in printed form. It is, therefore, not ruthless elimination of valuable publications that is required. but edu- cational advertising and intelligent placing of this printed natter"

eral Bullard. General Liggett com manded the First army, and General Bullard the Second. General Liggett March 21 next. General Bullard has three more years to serve upon the active list before retirement. The committee very sincerely believes that the bill should pass, but is especially concerned over the status of General Liggett. If congress does not take any action with respect to him at this ses- sion he will be retired in the grade of major general, which he now occupies. It is accurate to say that General Lig- gett is the only general officer of the army who after the war is over, finds himself in the same grade which he occupied before the war started. Gen. eral Liggett had under his command approximately million men. Next to General Pershing himself, he car ried the greatest responsibility of any officer of the American eXpeditionary forces in the management of combat troops in the field in the face of the enemy"
 During debate it came out that Gen eral March was the third general of ticer intended to be promoted. Sena- tors objected to immediate aetion and to an amendment singling out Gen. eral Liggett. Presently the whole mat ter of promotions of all grades of otfi- eprS was under diScuSSiOn The raSIllt was that no action was taken at all.
