IMMENSE WATER POWER
PROJECT AT NIAGARA

Washington, Feb. Acknowledgements
of Niagara Falls water power as q
national asset" on a gigantic plan
that would assign all water power
privileges to one individual or cor
roration, thus eliminating grants to
various smaller interests, is urged in
various recommendation now before
the Federal Power Commission.
Although agreeing generally that
comprehensive system of develop
ment should be adopted, the recon-
mendations vary greatly as to the ma
ture of the development. In approx
ing any grants. the members of the
present commission. Secretaries Ba-
ker, Payne and Meredith. are inclined
to anticipate development Of methods
in the near future that viii permit the
transporting economically of power to
POINTS 500 miles or more from the
falls.
Experts have told the commission
that the "single assignment" plan
should include assignment of water
power privileges below the falls rs
well as those above. Plans to combine
the several hundred thousand horse
power taker from the gorge with the
millions taken from above the falls
into one project were presented. The
Llans range from tunneling under
Goat Island. which hangs on the pre-
cipice between the American and Cam
adian falls, to digging a power and
ship canal from Lake Erie to Lake
Ontario. Proponents of some of the
proposed projects claim that the gov
crnment could tax such development
half million a year and still give
users cheaper power than they now
enjoy, and leave a profit for the cor
poration on the investment Secretary
Baker, chairman of the commission,
has announced that no privileges an
ticipating future amendments Of the
existing water diversion treaty with
Canada viii be considered by the pres
cnt commission Experts have told
the commission that 1900 cubic feet
additional to the 10000 now diverted
on the American side could be taken
from Niagara river without marring
the scenic beauty Of the falls.

WORKING FOR THE
INTEREST OF WOMEN
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, Feb. 16.-Eforts to
reach an agreement on widely differ
ent plans to remove what are describ-
ed as inequalities and determinations
still existing in many states against
women, possibly through the creation
of an entirely new national organiza-
ton, will be made by the woman's
party at its annual convention which
began here today. s.s
Delegates declare that while the
main object for which the party was
organized-national woman suffrage
has been attained, the victory is not
yet complete. Some leaders propose
to continue to depend upon obtaining
national legislation favorable to their
cause by holding the party in power
responsible" and arousing interest in
women's legislation among the con
stituents of members of Congress
Others propose more clearly defined
political activities in the states, while
still others would enter the political
arena direct with full-fiedged won.
