CONGRESS GETS BILLS Would Prevent Floods, Irri gate Arid Lands and Sup ply Boundless Power Washington, Mar. 10.—Th« link ing up of Muscle Shoals, Boulder Canyon and bhe Colorado river in a great public superpower system, functioning under government con trol, to produce and sell electricity, fertilizer and nitrates for explosives on a cost basis, and conservation and use of the nation’s resources are the aims of a bill introduced today in the Senate by Senator Norris, re {.ulllcan, Nebraska. and in the Hcuse by Representative Keller, re publican. Minnesota. Creation of a federal non-political public service commission to co operate with the various states, municipalities, districts and other political subdivisions in the develop ment- of the system, with its mem bers appointed by the president, sub ject to approval of the Senate, is contemplated under the measure. The duties and function of the pre sent Federal Power Commission will "be assumed by the proposed public service commission. Its first duty would be to make a comprehensive power survey of the resources of the nation and determine the most economical and efficient means of developing flip superpower system. A bond issue of $500,000,000 as a revolving fund to carry on the Ini tial work anil development would be authorized. Meanwhile, the “eleven existing government owned hydroelectric power plants on the irrigation pro jects in the west and the govern ment owned project at Muscle Shoals constituted the nucleus of a public superpower system already to hand’* a statement from the office of Representative Keller declares. “And here by' the way. is a new and vital reason why Muscle Shoals should not be allowed to slip out of the hands of the government or bartered away,” the statement con tinues- “It is tremendously import ant as one of the first units in the public superpower system. Besides these power resources already in the government’s hands, there are 2,318 municipally owned electric power tnts In the United States which will fit in most advantageous ly as units of the public superpower system. “Heretofore, congress has ap propriated vast sums of money for flood protection without any thought of ever getting it back. This bill will involve an Investment, every cent of which and more will come back to the government. The same dam till at protects the Imperial Valley from flood will irrigate a mil lion acres of desert land at ihe same time. If properly constructed, will produce powei enough to soil at low cost to the cities and communities adjoining to pcj back every cent tile government invests in not more than 30 years. Similarly, the same power from the other great projects whether for irrigation, navigation or flood control, may be made to pay back the entire cost of develop ment." Declaring that only tho govern ment can “cut the cost of produc tion to the bone,” the statement gives u„ reasons: 1— “The government can borrow the capital for from 4 to 6 per cent, while the private companies pay C to 8. That alone on $500,000,000 means a saving of $10,000,000 a year to cut the cost of current. 2— “The government amortizes the capital account so that in 25 or 30 years U is all paid off. That means ultimately this system, on the basis of $500,000,000 at 5 per cent, would save $25,000,000 and the cost of electric service could thus be cut accordingly.” The Norris-Keller bill is declared to be "the outgrowth of the work of the Public Ownership league of America, In co-operation with Sena tors Norris, Dill, Frazier, Howell, La Follette and other* in the Senate, and Congressmen Keller. Swdng. Wefald. La Guardia. Sinclair and others in the House."
