Washington, Dec. 16. A definite
lud curnoreheiisive water iover pol
ity for streams upon the public do
main ami navigable streams not on
the public domiin ia urged by Secre
tary of the Interior Walter I Fisher
au the most important subject in his
annual report submitted to President
Taft.
Other legislation which Secretary"
Fisher recommends as Important to
the welfare of the eountry embodies
3.n enlarged application of the leasing
prlnclpb as applied to the public do
main In general; a comprehensive
leasing law for coal, oil and other min
eral lands, and laws providing for the
classification of public lands accord
ing to their respective characteristic
and appropriate uses and administra
tion In accordance therewith. Secre
tary Fisher nlso declares in favor of
legislation for the development of the
transportation facilities and the coal
lands of Alafka and for the with
drawal from entry of public lands in
the west needed to conserve the water
supply at the sources of streams. lie

Interests of Public First.
As to a water power policy, he says
i.hat it must be made "certain that
those who receive special privileges
connected with water power develop
ment shall. In fact, proceed by ap
propriate degrees and within appro
priate times to develop tho available
watT power to its highest capacity
having due regard to the possibilities
of marketing the product.
"Wo must make certain,' he con
tinues, "that tin? electric energy thus
created shall be made available to th
community in appropriate ways at ap
propriate prices. If it is not to b.j
uFcd f.r tho benctlt of the community,
but Is to be devoted directly to the
private purposes and personal advan
tage of the permittee, some method
must bo found by which the public
will receive Its share of the profits
which the permittee may make over
nnd above that which Is a necessary
and reasonable Inducement for his
Investment."
For Federal Control of Power.
As to federal a against state con
trol of water power concessions on
streams which are not navigable, the
secretary says: "The suggestion is
made frequently by those who are iu
one way or another representing eith
er pr'sent or future Investment In
water jower development that such
power sites and their control should
be turned over to the respective states
In which they are located. It Is in
(cresting to note, however, that the
ordinary citizens of these states arc;
rot nt all concerned over federal
usurpation or unjust treatment.
"They suspect that the real pur
pose of those who urge the turning
over of the federal domain to the
v.tnten Is that they may escape the
loncer and the Wronger arm of the
federal government and may take ad
vantage of the more limited resources
and governmental facilities of the in
dividual states.
Objection to State Regulation.
"While some states undoubtedly
have wisely conserved certain of the
lands and natural resources turned
over to thent by the nation, (he story
has too often been the acquisition of
these lands and resources by special
Interests or individuals without ado
c.unte recognition of the public Inter
est. There Is no policy which It
would be wise for any state to adopt
with respect to these matters In tho
adoption ami enforcement of which It
cannot be supplemented and assisted,
rather than retarded, by the retention
In federal hands of the powers and
the property now held by the nation
It Is precisely this policy of practical
co-operation which should be put Into
ffect There Is no real conflict be
tween the nation and the states upon
the subject."
Lincoln, D"c. lt. If the coming sea
sion of the legislature listens to all
the state departments and state instl
tut ions and votes the. appropriations
the amount will run up to $6,873,968
according to rciort3 now filed with
the governor. This la nearly $2,000,000
more taan the total appropriation of
the last session.
Among the larger amounts that will
be asked for by the different depart
ments ar:
Etate university $1,529,800

State superintendent 26,280
Secretary of state 39,300
Land commissioner 26,800
Attorney general 39,680
The Increase in appropriations asked
In niany.of the state intltutions is due
to the fict that they have been en
larged during the biennlum Just clos
I.ik. and therefore the expenses of
conducting them Is greater. There are
two new Institutions which were not
iu the list two years ago, the tubercu
losis hospital at. Kearney and the
slate normal school at Chadron. The
Clvulron school Is asking $'hi.!0) nnd
the Kearney hospital $11,240.
