More Safety For
National Parks
Being AdUOCated
By MnIInm III. Albnrn.

Most persons think of the nation
al parks as set aside for all time for
the enjoyment Of the whole nation.
That they are not yet entirely safe
from deTredations of private COM
mercial enterprise Is shown by the
recent discussion in congress OF the
senate's proposed amendment TO the
water power bill passed in the last
session. The amendment will give
congress full control Of the power
resources OF the national parks, in
1T cad of leaving authority in the
hands of the federal power COM
mission created BY legislative act
last year.
one project which was proposed
urder the federal water power act
was the damming Of the Yellowstone
river at the mouth Of the lake. This
would have created a high water
Lowell within the park. thereby de-
stroying many wonderful hot
springs, flooding some beautiful tim
hcT land and the nations best moose
range. Once such 4 concession were
made TO utility. there would be no
end 20 the further demands and in
7, ads upon the parks. Besides. il Is
no. necessary TO ruin the parks in
order TO utilize their power re
sources. In the case of the Yellow
stone river. the waters flow out of
the park eventually, and could be
damned and stored far enough
away so that no injury could be
worked 20 the park. while provid
ing the wanted power. Says the
secretary Of che interior.
"Our national parks are a heritage
OF beauty and natural wonder. We
have set them aside and opened
them 10 millions Of visitors. and we
have developed them 10 add 10 their
beauty by making them accessible.
II is not right that in the interests
of a dubious utility we should risk
the impairment Of national lands
which are the common property OF
the American people. Our national
policy should be one Of guarded and
guarding opposition 10 the eNplOita-
ton of these wonder lands
As vet the whole public is not
fully enough Informed regarding the
rarks TO appreciate the danger they
face II is up 10 the nations repre-
sentatives and 20 the duly appointed
authorities 10 act as true guardians

a dubious utility which would be
gained by destroying large areas OF
