DAM FUNDS

Thirteen million dollars, the
same amount appropriated last ses-
sion, is recommended by the bud
get bureau Washington, D. c. to be
appropriated this session to con-
tinue work On the Grand Coulee
dam during the coming fiscal year.
While the reclamation bureau
could save used a large sum, and Is
believed to have asked one, this
probably will be limit beyond
which congress will not go. Rep
resentative Leavy, member of the
subcommittee that will frame the
interior department appropriation
bill. expressed disappointment, but
thinks the Washington delegation
will be fortunate If 1t cam get $13,-
100000 and hold 1t against attacks
that certainly will be made.
Leavy points out that Grand Cou-
lee is the only major public works
project for which the budget asked
as much as was appropriated by
congress last session.
Hearings on the interior depart
ment bill will Begin a week from
NEXT Monday. the bill will go to the
house early In February.

y. ID. ROSS GIVES VIEWS
ON UTILITIES QUESTION

Public power projects are the on
~ effective means Of keeping
down the cost of electricity to the
people,. In an article written for
the United States News. ]. D. Ross.
Administrator of the Bonneville
Project, made this declaration and
said that state regulation of utility
companies had failed.
His statement wae part Of SYM
postum ON the federal navigation
and hydroelectnic program which
discussed the recent conferences be
tween President Roosevelt and util
ity executives headed by Wendell
l.. Wilkie of the Commonwealth and
Southern holding company.
"The competition of public

Condemns Resistance
Resistance Of the private utli-
ties to policing by the Securities
and Exchange Commission was con
demned by the Bonneville Admins
TRAITOR. He declared that the Com
mission encouraged issuance of
stocks and bonds that had proper
value back Of them. "These COM
panies ask regulation from the peo.
pie in one breath and fight it in
the next breath"
Mr.. Ross reSuted the contention
that the Federal government WAS
hindering ,eiectrification progress.
III private power Is backward In de
velopment," he said. lit is their
own fault. Honest stocks and
bonds always find market. Their
chief trouble is that the pubic hes.
itates to. believe them sincere after
the disasters they brought In the
last depression.
The Bonneville chief attributed
q portion of the blame for the last
depression to the financial methods
of private power companies. He
,aid that "milhons lost their savings
through the watsred bonds and
stocks" OF such utilities, and that
all of this occurred while they were
under $50 called state regulation.
Advocates Large District
Mr.. Ross yesterday elaborated
on his recent speech ut Hillsboro,
In which he advocated large sew
en-county district as preferable to
a district Of smaller area. by
this, " he said. ~ do not want any
ono to think that I favor a stste-
wide power unit. believe I'm larger
over smaller districts, but not in a

Deposit Insurance Corporation has in.
creased it, strength, building up its re-
serve from the assessments on banks, and
has been able to pay on about 1900, 900
in insured deposits in the 80 closed banks.
This has kept public confidence unim-
paired, and the insurance corporation.
which would be Of small value in tho
event Of widespread bank closings, has
nevertheless proved itself Of great value.
1t has become another powerful agency
which. along with Federal and State
banking ofacials, can be expected to make
every effort to keep banking sound. The
dissolution Of building association here
this week and the purchase Of its assets
by another. although not strictly within
the banking field, is evidence Of the pro-
lection being afforded investors.
Such action actually should be re-
assuring. And the public also probably
is better of without the SO banks that
were closed. Accounts up to 5000 were
insured so that the losses were negligible.
If further closings or mergers are found
advisable 1t should be remembered that
they serve but to make the remaining
institutions stronger.

The proposal is merely one Of retalia-
ton, for it is planned to eliminate those
firms whose home political subdivisions
do not tax the Virginia merchants.
Over a long period Of years there has
grown up spirit of cooperation between
those in the District and their neighbors
to the south, In a united effort to build
up a greater Washington, and the fact
that Congress, without the support Of
either the business men or the people Of
the District. has placed = tax on Vir-
ginians doing business here which should
not be allowed at this time to affect these
otherwise amicable relations.
Neither the people of the District nor
the business men have q desire to make
the burdens or expenses Of virginians
doing business here any greater, but they
should not be penalized by an act Of
the Legislature for that which the Ma
tional Congress has done. 1t would seem
rather the better way to drive provincial
ism further away by petitioning the Legis-
lature to ask Congress to repeal the tax
which is burden to District and Airing.

Privilege Taxes.

Already saddled with the privilege tax
at home which has raised the cost of
doing business, Washington business
men selling in their natural territory
just across the Potomac are confronted
with the prospect of having to double
up even on the amount they pay to the
District.
Delegate Hugh Medley, who repre-
sents Arlington County in the Virginia
Legislature, now in session at Richmond
proposes that Virginia impose a tax on
individuals and corporations doing busi-
ness in Virginia and cites the fact that
Washington business men can now de-
liver their goods there without being
taxed, while Arlington merchants have
to pay the Districts business privilege
