Seeking Analysis of Methods.
Senator Walsh and Gov pinchot are
interested in analyZing the exact way
in which the various holding COM
panies have been financed and how
far power has been concentrated in the
hands of a few. The National Popular
Government League is endeavoring to
show the advantages in some cities of
municipal ownership of power and its
literature also is directed against the
alleged activity of power interests
against Boulder Dam legislation. King
in his first announcement says:
Through warnings given by United
States Senator George w. Norris of
Nebraska, Hiram johnson of Cali.
fornia, former Gov. Clifford Pinchot of
Pennsylvania and others which have
been given remarkable publicity by
the press, the people are aware that
there is a power super-lobby in the
making to mold public opinion and
control power legisla ton in the com
ing session of Congress. The princi-
pal objectives of this super-lObby are
TO Kill the Boulder Canyon bill.
deliver Muscle Shoals to the
power combine, side-track the reso.
luton to investigate the power trust
as proposed by Senator Walsh. of
Montana, and turn over an invaluable
power site belonging to the Flathead
Indians of Montana to the Montana
Power Co. without just compensation
to its owners"
The various utility interests are pre-.
pairing for the fray by bringing ex-
pert engineers and others here to
testify If necessary and present their
slde OF the case. The fight as to the
pros and cons Of power may become
one of the major issues before
Congress.
