WATER POWER TRUST
REACHES INTO HOMES

Washington, Jan. 12.-pefeated in
an attempt TO have the federal trade
commission investigate the so-called
wtaer-poWer trust, Senator Norris of
Nebraska made an EXTENDED speech on
the qualifications of these interlocked
corporations.
In opposing the Underwood bill
which would turn Muscle Shoals over
to a unit of the Alabama power com
pany, Senator Norris said:
81 have been dumbfounded and
amazed, and the country will be dumb
founded and amazed, when it learns
that practically everything in the
electric world, from something that
perhaps costs no more than 20 cents
to something that may cost millions
of dollars, is controlled either directly
or indirectly by some part of this
gigantic trust.
The head of this trust is the Gen
eral electric company. One of its
chief subsidiaries is the Electric bend
and share company. This subsidiary
has, as a matter of fact, large mum
Der of subsidiaries, and many o these
subsidiaries have in turn, large num-
Der of subsidiaries. So it starts at the
head and runs down through various
degrees"
Senator Norris showed tlat the
stock of the Alabama power COM
pany is owned by the Alabama trac-
ton, light and power company. The
latter was a Canadian company, owned
by foreign capital, bu has recently
changed its status to ~ American
corporation, because. sald Senator
Norris, their chances of getting any
thing in America would be BETTER"
though the stockholders, perhaps, are
not changed. The new holding COM
pany of the Alabama power company
is the Southeastern power company,
incorporated in the state of Maine,
and controlled by the General electric
company.

Life is like river and no stream
of water created by nature moves in
straight line. The important thing
is that river eventually finds its
way to the boundless ocean and is not
lost in the desert sands.
There are crooks and bends, bul
these add only to the beauty Of the
stream when We behold it impartially.
Human life is the same. Il is better
to have ones ups and downs, and %
battle the minor inconsistencies and
eccentricities of life than TO move TO
Heaven in a straight line.
70 the editor Of this paper, who
served under Mr.. Kiser as a reporter
for nearly two years, it seemed that
whatever flaws there might have been
found in his life were not Of charac-
ter or principle, but appeared only on
the surface and vanished when the
real character of the man appeared.
As the writer knew him the whole
trend of his life was good, and that
is as much as may be said of any
mainland is all that the eternal God
requires.

IOWA GOVERNOR
LEADING FORCES
FOR LABOR BILLS

Governor n. L. Kendall of Iowa,
says today in transmitting the 10Th
Amendment to the Legislature OF
Iowa:
There is some division Of opinion
concerning the merits OF the proposed
amendment, but | am persuaded that
such sentiment as has been aroused
against it is manufactured rather than
spontaneous. II has been denounced
in inspired propaganda as revolution
airy and socialistie, but the same argu-
ments are reiterated with tedious
energy against the amendment legal
izng a tax on incomes and the direct
election Of United States Senators.
That is a familiar objection interposed
against all enlightened reforms by
the cupidity and ayarice which sancti-
iies money at the sacrifice Of men in
the affairs of the world. C.
"fhe power sought to be conferred
upon Congress is no different either
in nature or extent from that at pres
ent possessed by the Legislatures of
the States themselves. Many States,
among them our own, have exercised
it. 1t Is not conceivabe that, #
granted the authority, Congo will
ever enact a statute distu bling the
salutary conditions which prevail in
Iowa. This State has amply protect
ed its children by restrictions as to
their employment age, and as to the
character of the occupations i'm which
they may engage Some States, how
ever, notably tase in tae extreme
South, have declined to measure the
interests of humanity against the ae-
emulation of money, am have re
fused to establish any limitations upon
the sordid greed Of lnscrupul-
Gus employer. From morning
until late evening, without holidays
TO recreation, little people of tender
years-the pride of the present and
the hope of the future-are sentenced
to a slaVish labor which dwarfs the
body, stunts the mind and stupefes
the spirit In those localities, ignof-
ance and diesase which invariably ac
company such abuses.
ut is to correct such a deplorable
situation as this, and to conserve the
health, promote the happiness, and
assure the education of the Nation
youth, that this amendment to the
Constitution is demanded by the phil
anthropic impulse of the age Ii
provisions are deemed essential by
those whose solicitude for the vel
fare of the child is most enlightened
and unself~h, and cannot believe
they will be denied Endorsement in
progressive Iowa"

Eail In Cnntrihnte.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 12.-John L.
president of the Tennessee
Manufacturers association, issued a
call for funds to combat humane leg
islation in this state and he received
three replies.
Mr.. Edgerton deplores that many
members are not paying their dues.
He says it may be necessary to issue
Short-time loans Ito get through the
year, but we will not have any money
for further legislative preparation
work, which is so badly needed"
This hard-luek plea has had no eff
feet on the trade union movement, nor
viii it lessen the workers activity.

In the death Of Charles l.. kiser
the community mas lost one Of its best
friends. He was closely ldentihed
with every public interest and par
ticularly with civic and social pro
gress. He was frequently called in
as a counselor in community affairs,
and his advice was always on the side
of good. If he erred it Wa an error
of judgment and not an error oil
principle. His loyalty 10 the good
was sturdy, YET his sympathies were
broad, generous and free, touching
every phase of human need.
He knew a newspaper from the
press room to the editorial chair. He
knew his newsboys and his employer.
He commanded his department., but
never abused his helpers.
Especially did he have sympathy for
a young man or woman just begin
ming an editorial career, and no mat
ter how inferior a position young
man held on the staff, he was as vel
come in the editorial sanetum as the
most proficient reporter. Mr.. Kiser
delighted in seeing a youth advance
and become a good writer.
He was too sympathetic to be a
good critic, but his very sympathy
caused his employees to bend every
energy to make good.

There will be flaws in the workman

But to the credit of a wise Provid-

Justly say that it was far easier %

mans character than to locate and
define his weaknesses.

Mr.. Kiser was a friend Of Organ
lied Labor and for many years was
identified with the Printers Union in
one department or another. Many who
are members of the preesnt organiza-
ton of the Typographical Union were
present at his funeral service. Many
more have called at this office during
the week and have referred to striking
incidents in his life when he proved
Of great benefit to the Union.
