ISevv York Seeks A n n »I in e n t of Water-Power Act Stale 1*1 a life to Develop Re sources for Own Benefit— May Be Dealli Blow to Waterway Project. special Dispatch to The Onmitu Bee. Washington, March "0.—Fate of the St. Lawrence waterways canal is In volved in the suit which the gtate of New York is bringing to have the fed eral waterpower act declared uncon itiluiional. Otln r and farreaching things are involved in the >few York movement, headed by Governor Smith, hut the great niiddlewest, intensely interested in securing its outlet to the s>a, would do well to look into just what is hap pening in the fight between Governor Smith of New York nnd Governor Pinehot of Pennsylvania on one side, and between the state of New York and tlie federal government on the other. As between Pinehot and Smith, there is involved the right of a state to control its own resource* within itself, as between New York and the federal government is the possible overthrow of the federal waterpower act which will enable New York to bottle tiji its own resources and pos sibly control those of the adjacent Canadian territory. New York Has Advantages. Once in the power business, New York could, on its own behalf, devel op the power resources whieli the federal government would seek to develop in the building of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Waterway. It i» at the New York bonier tliat the greatest potential power resources lie in the canal project, resources which would make It possible, through the development of electric energy, to make the great undertaking financial ly feasible. Back of that would be the government's project to link up all power systems in order to spread electric energy over a large area. The federal water power act now stands in the way of the New Y’ork plan to bottle up the energy it has actually or potentially within its boundaries. L’nder the leadership of Governor Smith, New York is pro ceeding to develop a policy which was inaugurated Under Governor Miller. While the present and the ex gover nor differ on many points, they were united in opposing development of the <treat Lakes-St. Lawrence project for I Avoid Constipation I QoiOQ 1 DRANDRETH i D pills ; at bed time ,m'//A«tp j you -well and h*ppy \ purely vg^eteble , r the same reason that Montreal op- I post's it. Totluy, New York is the i great inlet and outlet for the produce i of the country. Because of its port facilities, it can levy tribute on the rest of the country and by its op position to the Great Lakes-St. ■Lawrence project, so far has been able with Hie assistance of Montreal to block it in this country and in Canada. Another Plan Proposed. Now conies the other plan, which proposes eventually to take advan tage of a geographical situation and of natural facilities to cement New York's hold on fhe rest of the coun try. It proposes first of all to quash the federal water power act. Once this is done, it w ill be possible to ne gotiate with the Canadian govern ti tut, which is lukewarm on the Great Lakes project. From Montreal on towards the in terior, the water would have to be raised from Iroquois to Croil Island. It is here magnificent power projects could be developed. Once New York i could work out its theory of develop- i ing power in these places, as a state 1 resource, without relationship to the canal propect and then contain the power so generaied within its own boundaries, it would .have blocked the' Groat Lakes project and would have I established tl»e right of a state to contain its natural resources within itself. The object Is to contain the power and develop manufactories furnishing ,goods for the rest of the country and i for Europe. On these goods domestic ally consumed the interior would have to pay the rail or lake and rail freight land will have to payr additional rail freight on goods imported through New York. Pinchot Futon Super-Scheme. Governor Pinchot holds the natural i esources of the country, such as coal 1 and electric energy belong to the peo pie as :l whole and denies ths right of a state to bottle them up. He holds New York lias no more right to con tain electric energy within its bound aries, developed from water power or! coal, than Pennsylvania has to con tain its coal within its own boundaries from which, in many cases, electric energy is developed. Pinchot joined with the supporters of the super power schemes, which aims to link all electric power proj ects on the Atlantic seaboard, wheth er steam or water power develop ments, into one great scheme. Back of that is the project of developing additional electric energy at the mouths of the coal mines, linking the plants up with other systems, and delivering energy to the country over wires rather than have It hauled in i lie bulky form of coal. Electrifica tion of the roads to avoid hauling coal for their own use is part of this , scheme, which aims to aid in solving | both the car and coal shortage prob- : terns. -| $27,000 Rum Fines. Nearly $37,000 was collected by R. C. Hoyt,, clerk of the federal court, and turned into the Federal Reserve bunk in the lust quarter of 1023, his report allowed.

Patrons May Pay On Accounts at the Pay Bill Desk As Usual Watch Papers for Date of the Re-opening of the Store for Sales BEDDEO 1417 Douglas Street Women the Greatest Buyers in the World Dll ERE are 22,000,000 homes in the United States. The women who buy for these homes spend on the average $500 each, or a total of $11,000,000,000, each year. That is more than $36,000,000 every working day. Every year it amounts to half as much as America’s Liberty Bond issue. Each woman is a part of this army of buyers, and each, if she will, may be guided to wise and economical purchases if she will but make up her mind each day to read as many as she can of the advertisements which manufacturers are printing for her benefit. The advertising in every newspaper and every maga zine is a buying guide for this greatest buying force in the world. This advertising makes it safe and easy for every member of this buying army to make her purchases. It establishes in her mind a buying habit and gives her a preference of one brand of goods to another or an advertised article to one that is unknown. It identifies for her a certain product as being stand ard, so that she may easily dodge the wdles of sellers who try to sell something that is not so good. It fixes merit as an everlasting adjunct to certain articles. It makes her know that the manufacturer who is proud of his product and jealous of his reputation and character cannot do otherwise than make his product at least as good as he says it is. More than likely it is better. Advertising points out where this greatest buyer in all the world’s history may find quality goods by show ing her pictures of them over and over again which enables her to recognize them easily and quickly.
