TO SAVE POWER SITES
Secretary Would Lease Them
Under Government Control.
HE WOULD PREVENT MONOPOLY
All 1 tight* Nllllll lie Kur/rilulllo For
I'ttllurci to Mnlw Development
Within Limitations Proposed by
l^'gal Knlry on f^u'id*.
Washington, I), c. I'lans to save
waten?ower sites from fallitiK into the
hands of a monopoly are outlined tn
the annual report of Richard Ay Hal
linger, Secretary of the Interior. Mr.
Halllnger has been iTCeinedof a desire
to turn th^KO .sites over to private
corporations, hut bis recommenda
tions are for a close Government
supervision. He asks Congress to en
act laws to this > ffect :
J. That the One is iOTCtj lands be
reserved tn the Federal tlovernmcnt,
and only an e&semsnt granted for tho
purports Of developing aud transmit
ting electrical power for private and
public use, and for tho storage of
waters for power. Irrigation and other
uses.
2. That Hueh easement be granted
for a limited period, with a maximum
or at least thirty yearn, and the option
of renewal for stated periods' upon
agreed terms.
3. 1 hat entry shall he accompanied
by plana and specifications covering
the works sought to he installed and
covering the maximum horsepower
capable of development at such Kite:
also, that a substantia?] onfrwfoe be
paid to show good faitji, and that a
transfer to the United Stales of the
necessary water rights to permit of
the estimated power development be
made. .
<f, That the construction period al
lowed entrymen for the development
of at least^t wenty-five per cent, of
such power shall not extend beyond
four years, or such further time as
may be granted by tho Secretary of
the Interior upon a proper showing,
5. That a moderate charge shall
be made on Lhe capital invested, or
upon the gross earnings of the project
for the first ten vearr. of operation,
adjusted at each subsequent ten-year
peiiod, and equitably determined by
appraisement.
C. i hat all rights and easements
shall be forfeitable for' failure, to
make development within the llmlta
tiony imposed or upon entry into any
contract or combination to charge or
fix rates beyond a reasonable profit
on tho Investment and cost or opera
tion, or entry into any agreement or
combination to limit the supply of
electrlKtU cun-ent, or failure to op
erant o t he p 1W ; and, .>
i. Tbsf*'*- t*tt?$jw}oks and accounts
shall always be subject to tho inspec
tion of the department.
"Unreasonable or narrow restric
tions beyond the necessity of public
protection against monopoly or ex
tortion in charges," remarks Mr. Hal
linger, "will, of course, defeat devel
opment and serve no useful purpose.
The statute should, therefore, while
giving full public projection against
the abuses of the privileges extended,
so far as consistent, encourage invest
ment in these projects: and it must
always be borne in mind that exces
sive Charges for the franchise will
fail upon the consumer."
On the general subject of the con
servation of natural resources, tho
Secretary says that ' Specific legisla
tive authority should be given the de
partment to classify and segregate
our public lands Into well-defined di
visions according to their greatest ap
parent use, with the continuing power
of reclassification to meet changing
conditions and the increased knowl
edge of their character which may
necessitate the transfer of lands from
t|me to time from the ono class to
the other."

Year Now Drawing to a Clone Re
markable on Account of An Unusu
al Amount of Good Roads Agita
tion and Enthusiasm.
1 1 is flic purpose of I Ik* olHcem inulJ
member* of this association to make
tin.' eleventh annual convention no
Irs remarkable in I'urt l???riitic t lit* in
tt'ivHl of highway improvements in
South Carolina thuu the closing year
has been remarkable in t reating fav
orable good roads sentiment. A con
ference of otllcers ami members of
the association wsa liehl in I lie otlice
of President l'\ M. Hyatt on the af
ternoon of November. '?4T?i, looking
to the accomplishment of this pur
pose. Supervisor Owens ami Com*
missioncr Davis were present at this
conference. They. oJTcrcd valuable
suggestions as to how the. annual
convent (foil eouhl best serve the pur
pose it is undertaking lo accomplish
ami . pledged the lienrty co-operation
of Richland county in making tjiis
annual meeting a record breaker.
[t was the sense of this conference
that, since by far the greatest public
road mileage of the State consists of
earth roads, the best intends of the"
good roads movement would be serv
ed by- making thi> cscntially an
earth roads convention. Moreover,
the. principles goveiunm^lo proper
location. drainage ?ud grades TiTF
earth roads apply villi equal force
to all types of roads, so these inter
ested in the more expensive road sur
faces will be as much benefitted by
Hindi a convention as those who have
only earth loads to care for.
Practical road men will here dis
cuss the proper location, grades,
drainage, construction mid mainten
ance of improved earth roads. The,
application of correct business meth
ods to the management of road af
fairs and to the letting and receiving
.of public highway bridges will re
ceive dim j_onsiderat ion, and road leg
islation looking to a general im
provement of |bo public roads
throughout the State will be recom
mended.
County Superx isors and oIViccin of
county good roads associations are
urged to take 'such ftpps as arc neces
sary to liavc their respect ive ' coun

tion. Members of the general as
sembly, county engin<ier.a*. city en
gineers. professors of civil engineer
ing and kindred subjects, officers
and members of automobile organiza

the improvement of our public high

expected to contain interest inu in

significant. Si ill it cannot be rc^a ril

t lull has been injrrtPfl into I he issue.
Its association with the administra
tion of Coventor It. lb Comer and
his reputed ability to name a suc
cessor lo I he governorship in .^dgo
S. I). Wealiley, author of the prohi
bition bills, have figured prominently
in tlu' result.
A significant feature of the result
is I In* tin t that sentiment against
the amendment is so widespread,
liu i*n I precincts, small towns and
lit ii-s alike are. for the most part,
returning subslanlial majorities on
the winning side.
I .here has never been seen here
anything like the enthusiasm shown
in Hirmin^ham over the result. The

particularly radical in its so-called
reform program. ?
