Senators viii BaIk Move to

By Scripps-Hoicard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Feb. To save
the federal trade commission from
a 65 per cent cut imposed by the
house, senate liberals probably VIII
prevent passage of the 1884 indie
pendent offices appropriation bill at
this congress.
Fifty-two lame ducks. mostly Re-
publiCanS. were among the house
members who voted last week 10
keep the trade commission down to
$1,000 next year-a figure which
wipes out the entire economic di-
vision of the commission, ends its
study Of utilities, and makes en-
forcement of the trade commission
act impossible.
The same Democratic leaders who
sponsored the drastic cut this year
will continue in charge of legislation
in the next congress, but Liberals
believe the new members will vote
them down.
With the session nearing its close,
and the senate hOpelcSsly behind
with its routine legislative program.
it will be an easy matter to pre-

The senate is scheduled to con-

bills, in addition to the one now
pending, before the independent

Both Federal Government
and Cities to Get Into
Business, Is Claim.

By ps-HOWGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. - The
next few years will witness a ire
mendous increase in publicly owned
electric plants, according to Judson
King, head OF the Popular Govern
ment League and crusader for
cheaper power for American con-
SumerS.
The new development, King
thinks, will follow two lines.
The first will be i'll The growth of
government-owned plants, such as
proposed by President Elect Frank
lin d. Roosevelt as great regulators
of private power rates.
The second will be increased
numbers of smaller city-owned
plants.
Government in Business
The government now operates
eleven hydro-electric plants in con-
nection with its reclamation bureau.
Soon it will operate the greatest of
all plants at Boulder dam.
President Elect Roosevelt has
promised government operation Of
Muscle Shoals. He has declared
himself favorable TO the develop
ment Of two other giant power pro-
ducing projects at Columbia Basin
in the northwest and the St. Law
renee in the northeast
The r. F. c. has just granted a
loan of $22,8OO,OOO to the city Of Los
Angeles to build a 270-nile trans
mission line from Boulder dam.
Plans are being laid for the add
ing of the 100000 al-American
canal to the Boulder dam project,
also a pOWer-deyeloper.
City Plants Prosperous
Besides these present and pro-
SpectlVe government public prof.
ects, there are more than $4,000 city
owned power plants now operating.
Among these are such big plants
as the successful plants of Seattle,

BANKERS SPLIT
OVER CHANGES
IN STATE BILL
FroWn on Clause Giving
Governor Power to
Name Board.

Passage of a bill recognizing the
system under which banks and other
financial institutions of the state
will operate, is likely to result in a
growth of confidence on the part Of
the public, Will Hough, Greenfield
banker. and former state tax board
member believes.
Hough expressed his views in dis
cussing the bill Monday afternoon
before the house of representatives
banking committee which today re-
ported the measure with recon-
mendation for passage. Represen-
tative Leo M. Gardner Dem, In
dianapolis), is chairman of the
committee.
At the conclusion of Hough'S re-
marks, the committee went into eX-
ecutive session, excluding news
paper men, but Walter Greenough,
bankers representative. remained.
Signs are apparent that changes
in the bill, by which the Gov
| ernOr Is gwen power 10 appoint
banking commissioners and attaches
of a proposed new banking depart
ment, do not meet with unanimous
approval Of bankers.
As drafted by the study commits
sion for Indiana financial institu-
tions, the bill provided for a BIZ
partisan commission to be ap-
pointed by the Governor, and it
would have employed attaches. AS
altered, there is no provision re-
garding politics of commissioners
This point was not discussed by
Hough, who suggested that a bank
loan limit of 20 per cent Of its cap
ital to any one borrower be reduced
to 10 per cent. He also suggested
further limitation of a banks rea
estate holding power.

in rivers in Indiana, and other work
that requires a long time under
water.
The entire helmet and apparatus
cost 81. .
1t was tested at the Butler
University swimming pool, and
proved successful.
The youths claim the helmet can
be used for depths below twelve
feet.
Last year a lighter diving helmet
was made out Of an old Oil-can by
the youths. The oil can proved to
be too light for practicable use
against underwater pressure so the
helmet was made.
The new helmet weighs seventy
five pounds, but when worn under
water feels like the weight of about
five pounds, the youths say.

Surge in Public Operated
POUer Plants Is Predicted

Tacoma, Los Angeles, Springfield

San Francisco is developing its

the most successful are small
steam operated plants in the middle
west which are making money at
reduced rates, and holding down tax
rates through power-plant profits.
Indicating that publicly owned
plants are going it pretty much
alone is the fact that few of them
have asked for R. F. c. loans.
