The needs of western farmers were talked over with Senator Harding today by Sen ator Capper ol Kansas and Henry Wallace of Des Moines, la., both edi tors of farm publications, and in a ctatrment afterward Senator Capper declared the farmers of the west "were fast realizing' why it is neces sary that the republican ticket be elected." To put the democrats back into power, the Kansas senator said, would be to "turn the government over to the solid south and the demo cratic machines of the various Tarn manylzed states of the north." Senator Capper's statement blamed the democratic administration for mar ket iniquities favorable to the cotton ajid sugar industries and declared: "Governor Cox" nomination for presi dent by the democrats placed the party under a joint obligation to southern interests and to the "bosses' of the north. Governor Cox," he said, "In the eight years he has dominated democratic politics in Ohio, has built a machine based on the Tammany model." "During the war and since," the statement said, "we have seen what southern control means. The south ern statesmen were for rigidly con trolling and limiting the price on wheat that compelled the farmers to take far less than they would have got in an uncontrolled market. Cot ton went to dizzying prices. "Recently we have seen the same thing in the case of sugar. I know no more complete demonstration of democracy's administration incompe tency than in the story of sugar this year. "People are paying up to 30 cents for sugar and can't get it at that. Yet there is sugar enough for all. It is held by speculators to boost prices. "The northern and western farm ers have borne the burden of re strictions while the cotton and eugar raisers and the speculators got away with profits beyond calculation."

POWER ACT IS DRAFTED FEDERAL WATER RESOURCES "WOULD- BE OPENED. Development by Private to Be Considered by Commission. Interests New WASHINGTON, July-23. Regula tions for the administration of the federal act opening up the country's vast water power resources to private development are now being drafted. As soon as they are completed the water power commission, composed of the secretaries of war, interior and agriculture, ( will hold hearings on them. The commission, of which Secretary Baker has been appointed chairman by president Wilson, will hold Its first meeting immediately upon Secretary Payne's return from Alaska about August 5. The hearings on the regu lations will be pushed as speedily as possible so that the water power leg islation, which has been ten years in the making, can be put Into effect without undue delay. The tentative regulations are being drawn up by a special committee of the war, interior and agricultural de partments. It is composed of Major Gcneral Enoch H. Crowder, represent ing the war department; O. C. Merrill, wateruower expert in tne iorestry service, who has been designated ex-1 ecutive secretary of the commission, and H. A. Stabler of the interior de partment. Members of the committee said the regulations would be extensive and that they probably would be an nounced in series, with open hearings on each group before they are made final. Those relating to form and condition of application for survey permit or licenses will be the first announced. The most difficult prob lem involved in drawing up the reg ulations, members of the committee said, is that of establishing a. uni form system of accounting . for licenses, as required by the act. Under the water power bill the commission is empowered to issue li censes for a -period not exceeding 60 years. The licensees will pay to the government reasonable annual charges in an amount to be fixed by the commission. Upon the expiration of any license the government, if two years' notioa in writing has been given by tho commission, will have the right to take over and operate ai;y water power development after payment of the net investment of the licensee in the project or projects taken, not to exceed the fair value of the property plus such reasonable damaees. if any. to property of the licensee as may be caused by the severance therefrom of property taken. In cases where such notice has not been given the government also will have the right to take over upon mu tual agreement with the licensee any property developed under the terms of the bill, subject to the payment of the net investment.
