advocated by him in 1917, and that
from that time until the present he
has been deeply interested in this
work. The commission was formed
to study the water power problem
and although it has not been able to
accomplish all that the Governor
wished. it has rendered excellent SER
vice. The Governor believes that a
turning point has arrived. If the
Legislature passes a resolve submit
ting to the people a water storage
constitutional amendment Governor
Baxter believes that the commission
should be continued. as it is in a po-
sition to bring to the attention of the
people of the State the need of some
constructive action on the water
power question.
If the Legislature. however, should
not submit the resolve to the people,
and should simply leave things as
they are at present and take no ac-
ton on the storage question, Cover
nor Baxter believes that the expenses
of the commission would not be JUS
tiiiable and in such an event he is of
the opinion that the Public Utilities
commission could carry on the
stream measurements and do the
tupographical work.
'It would certainly be taking
backward step" said the Governor,
"if the Legislature just at this time
neglected to submit to the voters Of
the State a water storage constitu-
tional amendment. / have worked
consistently for seven years on this
question and believe the people of the
state want the privilege of deciding
this question for themselves"

Element Of the present conflict.
The chancellor's speech took the
form of a lengthy protest in which
he recapitulatcd in detail the situa-
ton growing out Of the occupation
Of the Ruhr from the first day, and
the more recent invasion Of points in
Baden.
| He was frequently interrupted by
| expressions Of indignation a. he re-
cited the number Of arrests. cOnvic-
tions, evictions and deportations Of
German officials who refused to carry

| The Franco Belgian expedition into
I, the Ruhr, ne said, had thus far re-
solved itself into dismal economic
| failure, the gains from which sug-
| scsted a doubtful offset to the alleged
German delinquencies in the pay
ment Of reparations.
The French actions in the Ruhr he
termed viciously inimical to the
worlds economic welfare in general
and to the promotion Of European
reconstruction in particular.

occurred elsewhere among ciVliized
nations, the world would have seeth-
ed with indignation. but since Ger
many was the sufferer 1T was con-
sidered as merely a small extension
of the Ruhr action, and unworthy OIL
particular notice.
Declaring his intention to speak
openly-"having nothing to conceal,
the chancellor recalled the French
declaration repudiating political mo-
tives for the occupation and said:
Against that declaration weInow

restricted employment Of soldiers
comprises five divisions. with two
commanding generals. about 20

M. Poincare may be content with
the result" he continued. but the
shareholders in this undertaking
will be less content. for they NOT
only receive no dividends. but will
be required to pay considerable
contribution to finance the under
taking. One thing Poincare has has
nopuIations Of the Ruhr and the
Rhineland are more determined than
ever on resistance:
However long the occupation may
continue the curse OF barrenness
will pursue the French. We Will
not cease our policy of passive re-

which we set before us from the
