WASHINGTON. - By unanimous
vote the senate had adopted Senator
Norris bill appropriating S45,OO0,0O0
for the construction Of hydro-elec-
tric power plant at the Great Falls
Of the Potomac, ten miles above the
city in order that the federal govern
ment may furnish electric light and
power to the District of Columbia at
cost. This victory in a fight which
Norris has Waged, against heavy
odds, for the last ten years, came on
the day that he received final re-
turns on his triumph in the Nebraska
senatorial primary. He was vigor-
ously supported in the present ses-
sion by his colleague, Senator Howell
who for many years was superin-
tendent of the municipality owned
water system, electric plant and gas
plant in Omaha. They promise that
the whole sale rate for electricity
will be cut in two when the 10000
primary horsepower from the two
dams now to be constructed shall be
finished.

the case of the state on the relation
of the Bankers Trust company and
Willard A LalOr of New York against
the state board Of equalization. The
writ of mandate sought by the relat-
ors to require the state board to
consent tc the transfer of Montana
Power company stock without pay
ment of the inheritance tax was de
MED, the court holding that the WHIT
was not the proper relief.
The state board had required the
REALTORS to deposit $50, 372 tC assure
payment of inheritance tax on Mon
tana Power company stock beQueath-
ed by the late Mrs. LalOr to her
brother-in-law, William A. LalOr, and
stock in the same company left to heI
husband, John c. Lalor. The eXecut-
Ors in settlement of the estate sought
to sell 10,950 shares common and SAC
shares of preferred but the Montana
Power company refused to make the
transfer unless the state inheritance
tax should be paid or the state board
of equalization should consent. This
the board refused to do until a de-
post had been made to secure the
inheritance tax payment. The deci-
sion establishes the fact that an in
heritance tax in Montana need not
be paid on the stock but does not or

money deposited should be returned
With the inheritance tax question

MEXICO STOPS
EXODUS TO U. S.
Bv e. G. WOLFE

Federated Press stan correspondent
MEXICO CITY.-The Obregon
is taking energetic steps
to prevent the large annual exodus
Of Mexican workers to the United
States. Unless the Mexican has a
good job assured him he viii find it
very difficult to cross the border in
the future. Too many have been
fooled in the past. The regular mi
grafton begins about April, when the
agricultural fields. especially the beet
fields, are ready to receive them.
The labor contractors made fabu-
lous. promises to- the Mexicans that
of course were never carried out.
The Mexicans would come to the
American job and find in place of
the comfortable dwelling promised
them wretched huts with the most
unsanitary conditions, wages much
lower than had been offered them,
prices in the company stores much
higher, so-that at the end of the
season, when the Mexican was fired
he had not even enough money to go
home with. Labor organizers have
been sent to the border cities of MeXi-
co, where many hundreds of Mexican
workers are waiting to cross, to tell
the workers that misery awaits them
in the United States, to disillusion
them before it is too late.
Ambassador Charles Warren, APP
pointed by President Coolidge to the
Mexican post, is a big exploiter of
Mexican labor on his Michigan sugar
beet fields.

Senator Norris of Nebraska In re.
sisting the organized generosity OF
the lobby-led majority of the house,
which has fer years insisted that
Ford shall have the nations biggest
remaining water power as a gift.
Norris has made the fight, year al
ter year, for government develop
ment and operation of the giant pow
or in the Tennessee river at Muscle
Shoals, and he has just been re-nom-
mated by a big majority, by the
farmer and labor vote in Nebraska
on a government ownership platform.
The Scripps newspapers have ofil-
cially Topped from prO-FOrd to gov
eminent ownership, on the Shoals
issue within the week. The Phila-
delphia North American carries a
scorching editorial, Analysing the
Ford proposition as the most scandal
Gus since Teapot Dome. Progressive
senators who have wobbled on the
question every time Henry Ford said
something true about Wall Street,
have finally landed on Norris side of
the argument. Senator Ladd is the
one exception, and he is unlikely to
be heard from henceforth in the case.
