WASHINGTON. March .-Concentrs-tlota
of control over water powe by
large Interests In Important iocallUes I
Increasing o rapidly that Herbert Knox
6mith. commissioner of corporation, has
reported to President Taft that the gov
ernment ahould preserre title to th re
maining power site and develop them
to prevent a possible monopolisation of
public utilities companies. A full report
of th commissioner' Investigation of
water power development was presented
to th president today. '
Commissioner Smith directs particular
attention to the Increasing affiliation of
water power concerns and public service
agencies, . such as street - railway and
lighting . corporations, and oftentimes
banks as welL The connection between
such concerns he regard of serious pub
Mo significance. Toe concentration of
control over water powers, the commis
sioner declares, Is exercised partly by
direct ownership of stock, but mainly
through Interlocking directorate.
Th rapidly increasing concentration of
water power control about which th
commissioner sound a warning may be
come, he says, the nucleus for a mon
opoly of both water and steam power.
It the water power cannot meet the en
tire demand of a given locality, he points
out that th owner can acquire auxili
ary fuel plant and handle- water and
fuel power over th same distributing
line and thus a complete commercial
power monopoly might gradually be built
up In fact, already exists la a number
of communities.
Tea Great Creeps.
Ten great groups of Interests, with th
General Eltctrto company a th most
powerful, are declared by Commissioner
8rqlt to control or strongly Influence
about (M per cent of the developed com
mercial water power of th United States.
These ten group themselves sr mora or
less Inur-relatcd, with resultant (row
ing community of Interest. In this con
nection th commissioner' report says:
"In, this man of Inter-relationships,
ranging from practically Joint control
down to personal association In common
directorates, I clearly revealed th drift
of water power and publlo utility cor
porations under th control of a few
very powerful Interests. These eonneo
tlons, some stronger and some weaker,
suggest a favorable condition for a very
small number of men to consolldat very
large Interest whenever they mar decide
It to their advantage to do so. This in
terlocking of Interests through directors,
while not necessarily Indicating a purpose
of monopoly, certainly afford an incen
tive and a mean to combination."
Mr. Smith, urging the Immediate
formulation of a definite policy of de
veloping the remaining water power site
on th publlo domain, recommend gen
erally cpaaklng that th government re
tain the ultimate control of the ait.
iney anould be developed st one, he de-
el area, not only to conserve th fuel
upply or tb country, but because they
ar fast passing Into private oonirol. . It
I estimated that th water power taow
In us saves B,000.0o tons of coal an
nually and, Mr. Smith adds, the water
power resourc I not expended In Its
using.
The problem of development, the aim.
mlseloner continues, cannot be solved by
fixing by law th selling price of water
power by Itself, which. In any vnt,
will be controlled by the cost of fuol
power. Recognising that th most ef
ficient us of water power required a
considerable degree of unified control, th
commissioner akes this recommendation
for th deveiopent of publie water power.
"Tim publie can either develop and
operate th sites, selling th energy at
market rates, or th publlo may lease
th lte at a rental fairly representing
Its natural value." The commissioner
favor the rental system. .
The water power of the country, do-
voloped and practically capable of de
velopment at this time, probably doe
not exceed zb.m,(m horsepower," Mr.
Smith says. Th , total developed
water-power today Is alout CUKXOa)
horsepower. The total stationary power
used In the United States-Meant, water
and gas is probably over SO.OOO.Dut hone-power.
The Bureau of Corporations, In Its In
vestigations, found concentration of
water powers, according to th report. In
three distinct phases. First, there was
a centralisation of control In each Im
portant locality; secondly, large Interests
influenced a number of those local con
cerns, and finally there wa found a
growing relationship among th big In
terests

In th committee on resolutions, where
a motion to put through th Clark
pAuik, later adopted by th convention,
failed ef passaae by a ti vote. Th

Thua th fight wa thrown onto the

Aa chairman of th resolution com
mittee, B. J. Sheridan of Paola, Clarke's

agreement to the convention. Mr. Sheri
dan moved that th convention adopt
th Clark plank, which had failed of
adoption In committee.
r. M. Fearl of Hiawatha, a Wilson

VALLET CITY, N. D.. March li.
t'nlted States Senator Robert M. TUi
Kolletl of Wisconsin in on of two
tpecchc delivered here tonight, on the
eve of th stato presidential preference
primary, charged Theodore Roosevelt with
having passed by th greatest oppor
tunity aver offered a president of the
United States.
"This opportunity," said Senator La
Follette, "was to hav cent a strong,
forceful message to congress, followed
by an appeal to th people. It necessary,
when combination of capital In this
country first became alarming. It la the
office of the president to urge en con
gress such legislation as he believes th
beat public Interest demands.
"If I had been president when these
great trusts' were forming, whan Mc
Kinley snd Roosevelt were president, I
would hav called th United Stat dis
trict attorneys of th whol country io
Washington, and I would hav handed
each on a copy of th Sherman anti
trust law and I would hav said, Oo
home and commit that to memory and
come back her at th earn hour to
morrow.' "Then when they came back 1 would
have said to them: 'Now, you know
what thl law means Go out and do
your duty as prosecutors It you doa't
I will put you out and will put In men
who will.' "
T. R. FAILS TO CLAIM FEES
OYSTER BAY,- N. T., March ll-Col-onel
Roosevelt earned $37.80 ss a juror,
but probably never will receive the
money. After he had been excused from
further duty, at Mineola today a court
officer advised him he could claim mile
age at the rate of S cents a mil tor th
distance between Oyster Bay and th
county seat. By railroad the 'distance is
fifteen miles, so that Colonel Roosevelt
is entitled to Sl.St for each of th nine
days of his services Juror.
"I haven't any mileage," he aaid. '"I
came by automobile."
Ha left the court house without putting
In the claim or producing the subpoena
which qualifies Jurors to receive SI , a
day so that th 17 In fees and Sl&a
mileage allowance which the colonel ha
earned probably will remain la th county
treasury. "
Colonel Roosevelt did not conceal the
fact that he was disappointed la not
having aerved In at least on ease.
