POWER United State. Forester Pinchot Dis cusses This Subject. ADVOCATES MODERATE MEASURES , , ' ' ' Heaalatloaa Wltbt Boaada of ". lieasoa as ta fraa 1 eSklaaa. WASHINGTON. Oct. I. (Special.) In discussing the charge made by the Forest 1 Service for power permits and the probable I action of the Tranamiasisaippl congress at J San Franc Isco October to lu in the malter ' of the conservation of water power, Clif ford Plnchot. the United States forester, I pressed himself as follows In a recent latter: ' "Although I shall not be able to be pres ent myself, nor to Bend a representative, 1 am deeply Interested In the Transmlssls Ippl coirgress and share your anxiety that Ui eDress may pursue suctt a course as will have a positive tendency to promote the active development and utilisation of water power. The need of water power to conserve the other natural resources of the country especially the mineral fuels, la thoroughly understood by the forest service. Ttiua the active development of power sites upon the national foreats, for which permits are Issued, la alwaya secured by Imposing the condition that work shall be begun within a definite specified time and completed within another definite apeclfled period. The policy of the foreat service la to en courage water power development in every way consistent with the public Interests Involved. Moderate Charges Advised. "While the charge for power permits ahould be based not only upon the aervtces rendered by the government In adminis tering (he forests and conserving the water flow, but also upon the power value of the land occupied, the charge Imposed need not be onerous. You are entirely right In your belief that I do not desire to make the charges burdensome either to the power companies or to the people. "Ou the contrary I have made careful In quiry of parsons xereacd 1b the nrfcetir cal development of power projects and am convinced that the chargea bave been fixed so low aa to avoid by a wide margin any possibility of retarding power develop ment. As explained In my letter of May S, the action, or rather lack of action, by the power companies upon the suggestion that they submit to a fair Investigation In order to determine the reasonableness of the present rate of chargea, clearly Indi cates that their complalnta are groundless. "The only real grievance which the power companies have Is that, under the act of February 16, 1901 (31 Stat., 790), their per mits must of necessity be revocable at the discretion of the secretary of agriculture, and with reference to thla feature, aa you are already well aware, I am In favor of auch a change In existing law aa would authorise the laauance of permits irrevoca ble, except for breach of condttlona, for a fixed term sufficiently long to Insure se curity of investment. Kraacklae Rrsali, "Grant of valuable franchises and prop erty rights auch aa were made gratia to the r 11 roads when the natural resources of the country were thought to be Inexhaust ible can not now be seriously conaldered In connection with the development of water power on the publlo landa and forests. The value and importance of water power to the country ia coming to be more and more thoroughly realised, and fear of a water power monopoly. Instead of being looked upon as an absurd vagary, has taken a firm place In the thought and consideration of the people. "I am entirely In accord with the position taken by the president in his message of February 26, where he saya: While we delay the material wealth and natural resources of the country re lated to walerwaye are being ateadlly ab soibed by great monopolies. Among these monopolies there is no otini which threatens, or has ever threatened, such intolerable interference with the daily life of the people as the consoldauon of companies controll.ng water power Through lack of foresight we have formed the liablt of granting without compensa tion extremely valuable rights amounting to monopiles on navagable streams and on the public domain. Tile repuichase at great expense of water rights thus care lessly given away without return haa al ready begun In the east, and before long will be necessary In the west also. No rights Involving water power should be granted to any corporations in perpetuity, but only for a length of time sufficient to allow them to conduct their business prof itably. A reasonable charge should, of course, be made for valuable rights and privileges which they obtain from the na tional government. A fair share of the Increase should be safeguarded for the benefit of the people, from whose labor it spring a. "I thank you most heartily for your let ter and for the Interest you are taking In this very Important public question." BIG HAUL OF BANK ROBBERS Record for Twelve Moatha, Teeters of Activity and the ProS Is. the According to the report submitted to the American Bankers' association by the Plnkertori Detective ageny. bank robberies in the year ended September 1, resulted In a loss to banks of S12S.00L19, while holdup robberies In the same time entailed losses to banks aggregatir, 125.027 45. In all, there were eighty-nine bank burglaries and ten holdups. In the number of burglaries Minnesota leads with twelve, while Oklahoma baa eight, Missouri six, Kansaa six and South Dakota four. Of the holdups Kansas and Oklahoma are tied with two each. The greatest loss was in Missouri, where burg lars got, a total of S3I,G8;.17, while Minnesota banks yielded S21.SJO.s7 la booty. During the year the agency learned of eleven contemplated attacks upon banks which are members of the association, and by giving advance Information frustrated all of them. Steps taken by the association to put bank robberies committed with the assist ance of dynamite or other high explosives In a class by themselves and to punish of fenders with extremely severe penalties have resulted In the passage of lawa by seven states which prescribe Jail sentences of from fifteen to forty years and In one state, Nebraska, the limit la life imprison ment. During the year since the passage of these laws not one burglary was com mitted against the banks in either Mary land or Nebraska. At the end of -the year covered In the report there had been nlnty-flve alleged forgers either convicted, sentenced or awaiting trial for crimes agalnat banks. Two bands, the reports aaya, operated ex tensively In New York. One made a prac tice of stealing checks from mall boxes, erasing the name of the payee and In sertlr the names of fictitious peycea. The oilier made purchases from merchants re quested checks for amaller amounts aa cbange and used these checks as models to forge checks for larger amounts.-Nevr York Herald. - Wlnaa as 'ipt-uiaeranee Promoter.
