STATE CONTROL IS MAJORITY S DEMAfJD Two Sets of Resolutions to Go to Water Power Confer ence Today.- DECLARATORY ACT ASKED Conrrcse ncsougnt. to Record Itself as llocoffnljzipg. Tlint Federal tn ( torest In Vacant Lands Is Sub " . ject to Stalo Jurisdiction, (Cqntinuvl From First, ragg.). trary, that said policy is intended to encourage and promote, the. settlement end development thereof; and that any act of Conaress, or any administrative interpretation thereof, Which id not in harmony with, this policy, doea an In justice to the new states by placing1 them on an unequal footing with the original ' stated, and by discouraging nd preventing the settlement of such iiew states and the development of their resources; and. Great Area Involved. "Whereas, the vacant land belonging to the Federal Government constitutes two-thirds of the area of the stated represented in this conference, and amounts to more than twice the area of the 13 original states: and, "Whereas, the vacant lands belonging? to the Federal Government are under the law exempt from taxation, while the burden of maintaining local gov ernment over their entire area rests Upon the states; and "Whereas, the maintenance inviolate of the constitutional equality of the states bf the Union is essential to that balance of power on which the perfec tion and endurance of our political fabric depend, and to the harmonious operation of the scheme upon which the Republic was organized; now, therefore "Be it resolved, That we are unalter ably opposed to any legislation whicli is in conflict with the fundamental principles above declared. "Kesolved, That the state have the constitutional right and power to con trol and regulate the appropriation and use of the waters within their bbunda-1 ries for all beneficial purposes except navigation, and also have the right . nnd power to control and regulate the rates and service of thelf public utili ties. "Resolved, That we are opposed to any policy that looks toward imposing the system of leasing generally upon the public domain, for the reason that such system is contrary to the spirit of otnr free institutions, and would retard thjfe" development of the resources of tine states in which there is still any public land. t Itecosnltlon by Congress Asked. Cltesolved, That in View of what we bejieve to be administrative miscon struction of existing legislation, we arj in favor' of a declaratory act by Cifugress recognizing and acknowledg ing that the proprietary interest of the 1'nited .States in the vacant land within tins states is subject to the jurisdiction arj,d eminent domain of those states for 1 uses which are declared by the laWs of those states to be public uses ami whion are so essential to the de velopment, well-being and prosperity oft those states. "Resolved, That the purposes of en couraging the development and utiliza tion of the natural resources of the country by private enterprise, which Actuated Congress in the enactment of thp right-of-way acts of July 26, 1856, aiid March 3, 1891, and in the enactment ofthe acts of March 3, 1877, and June 4, 1897. making all non-navigable waters on .public lands, including forest reservations, free for appropriation for beneficial uses, should actuate Con gress today in the enactment of any further legislation upon these subjects. Jw federal Control Opposed. tResolved, That any legislation by Cdiigress, the purpose or effect of which is to substitute arbitrary or dis cretionary authority of executive offi cials for fixed rules of law governing the administration, sale or other dis position of public lands and reserva tions and rights of way over the same wai be unwise and inconsistent with thfe spirit of the Constitution. TResolved, That we are opposed to the ownership or control, either direct or indirect, by the United States Govern ment or intrastate public utilities." Senator Walsh's resolution, which he-will present as a minority report, upholds the principle of Federal con trol of water power development, and follows the lines of the Ferris bill. It provides for the lease of power clts by the Government for a period of 350 years, thelessee to pay an annual rental for the. use of the site based on sornuch per horsepower produced and sold, and retains for the Government the right to take over the power plant at. .the fend of the lease period by pay ing to the lessee the fair value of the property. Ilia resolution, which is in the form of' a statement of policy, follows in lufl: "It is the opinion of this Congress that no subject likely to engage the at tention of the National Legislature at its ensuing session transcends in im portance that which will deal with the disposition of power sites on the pub lic domain. Development is retarded ,if not wholly interrupted because capi tal does not find in the existing law the security to which it is entitled. "An act framed upon the following principles, would, in the Judgment" of this Congress, prove inviting to in vestors, safeguard the public interests and be generally acceptable to the peo ple of the states directly interested, namely: ... "1. The sites should be leased for a period of 6Q years. Irrevocable Lease Suggested. "2. The lease should be irrevocable, except upon a decree of a competent court, for a breach of a condition ex pressed in it. - - , "3. The lessee should be required to pay an annual rental for the use of the premises, to be calculated on a basis of the power produced and sold et a rate per horsepower to be fixed In the lease "4. The Government should have the right at the expiration of the period of the lease to take over the plant through which the site is utilized by paying to the lessee the fair value of the property, not including, however, anything on account of rights in lands secured under the act of other laws of the United States, or appurtenant water rights secured by appropriation or on account o the franchises under which the operations of the lease are carried on. "5. Rates for intrastate service should be fixed and the issuance of stocks and bonds by any lessee cor poration be regulated by the duly des ignated board or officer of the state in which the site-is- situated; if there la no such board or officer authorized in that behalf by any such state, then by the Secretary of the Interior. "6. Rates for Interstate service should be fixed by the Secretary of the Interior. - "7. One-half of the rentals derived from leases should, be paid Into the treasury of the state in which the site la located for the support of schools and the tither half into the reel m ac tion fund." The real fireworks of the conference will come probably this morning, after the conclusion of the format programme of addresses, which, contrary to expec tations, was not completed yesterday, when the motion is made to substitute the minority report' for the majority report. - Senators Kqnally Divide. Of the four United States Senators attending the conference, two favor the principle Of state control of water power resources, and two stand for Federal control. The two advocates of state control are Senators gmoot, of Utah, and Clark, vt Wyoming, Senator Clark arrived yesterHay morning. As the only mem ber of tho Wyoming- delegation, he was made that state's representative oa the resolutions committee. The two advocates of Federal, con trol are Senator Chamberlain, of Ore gon, and Senator Walsh, of Montana, both Democrats and strong supporters of the present Administration, which has fathered the Ferris bill. Several Representatives In Congress are- also here. Julius Kahn, for IS years Representative in Congress from the San Francisco district, arrived yes terday morning to attend the session of the conference, though not as a delegate. Me is strongly la favor of state control. On the other hand, A. K. Chandler. chairman of the California Water Commission, and ss the only delegate of that state et the Conference, has lined up with the Federal control forces. Mr. Humphrey Against federal Control. W, E. Humphrey and Albert Johnson, Representatives in Congress from Washington, are also here, though neither One is a delegate. Representa tive Humphrey is unalterably against the Federal Control principle. "The whole argument of those who favor Government control," he Said yesterday, "Is based upon the theory that the people of the Western states have not the intelligence or the hon esty properly to care for the water power in their states. "They all proelaim that when the Government loses title, the property IS forever lost to the people. If you listen to them you would believe that the rivers will cease to flow to the sea If the Government permits the states or private parties to control these power sites. ... "It id admitted that the states have the bower to tax these power plants. But suppose at the end of the Govern ment lease the Government takes over the plant as advocated by those favor ing Federal control. Can the state still tax it? "Suppose the plant is used tor irri gation and the Government fails to operate it and damage comes to the communities dependent upon it. Can they sue the Government? "If the Government cannot again lease the plant, what pdWef has it to operate it? This dual control of state and Federal government 18 What dis courages investment. No man with sufficient intelligence to earn a dollar is going to invest it under such condi tions. Those who urge this dual con trol seem to fjorget the Scriptural in junction that a man cannot serve two masters." Representative Johnson is also in favor or state eontrol and Is warmly opposed to the provisions of the Ferris bill. C. N. McArthur, Representative in Congress from Oregon, Is another mem ber of Congress at the conference who opposes Federal control. Governor, too, Are iJivlded. Of the four Governors here, three op pose Federal control and one is inclined to espouse it. The three against the Ferris bill are Governors Spry, Of Utah; Alexander of Idaho, and WithycombO of Oregon. Governor Lister, of Wash ington, who suggested compromise at the first day's session with the advo cates of the Ferris bill, IS the fourth Governor. There has not as yet been any de bate on the floor. Of the conference. It had been expected that discussion of the various addresses on the pro gramme would begin yesterday, but there were so many of them that two still remain to be delivered.. One of these is by Frank It. Sliort. of Fresno, Cal., who will speak this morning on "Constitutional Aspects of the Ferris Bill," and Senator Clark, of Wyoming, who will discuss '(Duties of Government Toward Development of the West." United States Senators Borah, of Idaho, and Jones, of Washington, who were on the programme of Federal con trol of waterpowef resources and the Ferris bill. The speakers at the afternoon session were John H. Finney, of Washington, T. C, and' S. 2 Mitchell, of New Yorkr City. United States Senators Chamberlain, Walsh and Smoot Were the morning speakers. BAR TO CAPITAL CITED Pl'fcLIC UTILITY BANKER. EXPLAIN!) UEVELOPMENt OBSTACLES. Z. Mitchell Declares Regulatory Interference by Government la Discouraging Investment. "Why financing water power devel opment is not practicable where Gov ernment land is involved," was ex plained, in interesting detail, before the water power conference yesterday by 8. Z. Mitchell, well-known public utility banker, of New York. Mr. Mitchell asserted that the regu latory interference of the various Gov eminent bureaus has had the effect of discouraging capital under present con ditions, and predicted that under the provisions of the Ferris bill this kind of destructive exercise of authority od the part of the Federal authorities would be even more pronounced. He objected to the Ferris bill prin cipally on account of the almost unlim ited power that it proposes to extend to the Secretary of the Interior. Mr. Mitchell made plain that changes in the administrative heads of the In terior Department never are accom panied by a change in the methsd of administration. - "It is not the individuals who are wrong," he asserted, "It is the Bysteni' He criticised particularly those pro visions of the Ferris bill that empower the Secretary or the Interior to re voke leases made under It almost at will. In response to the theory advanced in some quarters that the rules gov ernlng regulation can be changed, he declared sharply: "Would you expect even a Mexican boss bandit to change the rules of the game after the cards had been dealt and the money on the table? Yet this is exactly, in effect, what the Fer ris bill authorizes to be done. . "Kow would any of you gentlemen like to build and own a $5,000,000 hotei on leased ground, the lease being re vocable at the pleasure of the lessor? And, particularly, how would you like to have a clause in the lease that the lessor could not only cancel the lease t any time, but could require you to transfer not only your hotel property, but all your adjoining property in the block, the usefulness or value of, which Was affected by Its connection with the hotel, to someone else, possibly a competitor In your same line of busi ness at the request of the lessor?

The pictures with which he subsequently illustrated his address showed views of those plants Mr. Pierce emphasised the advantage to the agricultural Industry by the in creased use Of fertilizer containing a large percentage of nitrogen and de clared that the production of every kind of cereal can be largely Increased if full use is made of the possibilities of converting the nitrogen in the air Into fertilizer by means of hydro elec tric energy.

Representative Humphrey, who at all times championed the rights of the in dividual Western states, reiterated his belief that the water powers Should be developed under state eontrol in stead of under Federal control. "1 cannot help believe," he said, "that those who advocate federal control have a feelings-sub-conscious, no doubt -that we Western people are not intelligent enough Or honest enough to conduct out own affairs.

Frank Rich Company, Whioh has been playing a short engagement in musical comedy at the National Theater. To the true artist, whether she be tn the chorus, or getting the spot light nightly, Mr. Chaplin's celluloid antics are a thing abhorrent. For instance The chorus in "The Girl From Vas Bar" at the National is one girl short todsy.

Trouble broke when the National en gaged a Chaplin film as art added fea ture. "What, any mere movie actor come It over ust" queried the chorus Indignantly. The temperamental Miss Modlne, however, asked no questions.

MEN IN CABINET PROPOSED Right to Grant Development Per mlts, Regulate and Control I late Without Action, by Congress Is J. It. Finney's Idea. A definite plan for developing the hydro-electric resources of the West was proposed to the water power con ference yesterday by John II. Finney, well-known electrical engineer of Washington, D. C. and representative of the American Institute of Electrical Engineering. Mr. Finney's proposal provides for the creation by Congress of a waterpower commission consisting of the Secre taries of the Interior, War and Agn culture, 1 Rate Regulation Provided. The further provisions of Mr. Fin ney's plans are: "The aforesaid state charter to con talrrspeclfic provisions as to use; as to oversight Of financing; as to regula tion of rates and charges at the hands of a state commisslon;-as to the rights of recapture by the state for a publlo use on a fair and equitable basis at the end of an agreed period, whether that be fifty years or more; as to the rights of the grantee if recapture Is not ef fected: together with such other safe guards as may be wisely bargained for between the state and Its created agency of operation, in any given case. "The Federal commission thus having a responsible agency with whioh to deal, with its purposes named, its flnan Clal methods approved. Its proper regulation assured, need then only be concerned to impose the minor restric tions which the general publlo inter est demands. These are: (at. The obtaining of a fair value of, or rslr rental on, any Government lands which th enterprise may require. (b. Sateiruards as to navigation. Such as locks, etoraee ot water, ate., oa Dir igible streams. c). Supervision or approval of plans for proposed structures, flams, etc, aa to the safety thereof, and (fl). The possible supervision or regula tion of rates or reservation to regulate, when the project is engaged in Interatace com merce. Mr. Finney pointed out that hydro electric development is of compara tively recent origin and explained the Interests of the several states and of the Federal Government In seeking to work out a satisfactory solution of the problem. "It is my opinion," he said, "that there is a sincere desire on the part of the present Administration to work out some definite legislation for the de velopment of power, both on navi gable streams under a new, general dam act, as well as for power locat ed on streams in the public domain and in National forests. It Is be lieved that this desire will be reflected in new bills to be presented at the next session, and, as the Ferris bill passed the last House and has the back ing of the Interior Department, it is likely that it will again be intro duced and urged for passage, as will perhaps alBo be the case with the Adamson bill!" . He continued by outlining the wants Of both the states and of capital seek ing an investment, which he summed Up about as follows: "What does capital want "First It seeks the ODDortunitv to Invest, ordinarily as a public utility. in an urgently needed legitimate bus iness in the hope and expectation or profit, "Second It requires conditions that will make for stability of the Invest ment and of the enterprise for all time. or until such time as the property be comes necessary for public use. Third It requires assurance of re payment In fult for capital expendi tures used in the upbuilding of the property. If and when-the state or Na tion should exercise its rights to pur chase it for a more beneficial use. State Wants Development. "What does the state want? "First It, wants development so that the state's activities can be furthered. "Second It wants electric service at the lowest price that conditions Jus tify, but It wants service first. Low price power is a relative term, and through the regulation of rates at the hands of Its public utility commission. to prevent oppressive monopoly. Third It wants reliability and con tinuity of efficient service, capable of indefinite expansloh at the hands of a well organised and financially re sponsible agency. "Fourth It may want the possible right of recapture for some public use at the end of some definite period." can the human body get to the individual. WONT MIX Bad Food and Good Health Won't Mix. ' The human stomach stands much abuse but it won't return to good health if you give it wrong food. If you feed right you "will feel right for proper food and a good mind is the sure road to health. 'A year ago I became much alarmed about my health for I began to suffer after each meal no matter how. little I ate," says a Denver woman. "I lost appetite and the very thought of food grew distasteful, with the result that I was not nourished and got weak and thin. "There was no one to shoulder my house hold burdens, and come what might I must bear them, and this thought nearly drove me frantic when I realized that my health was breaking down. "I read an article in the paper about some one with trouble just like mine being benefited by Grape-Nuts food and acting on this suggestion I gave Grape-Nuts a trial. Xn first dish of this delicious food proved that I had struck the right thing. "My uncomfortable feelings in stomach and brain began to disappear and in a short time I was again myself.

Why Catarrh Bothers Your Nose and Throa living,' Vital Facts for All Wha Suffer With Any Form cf Catarrhal Infection and Chronic Colds Would a Salve In the Chimney Everywhere people marvel at the re sults of S. S. S. In overcoming; ca tarrh. To the mind not versed in the wonders of the human body it will be interesting to understand why this most famous of all blood purifiers, 8. S. S., has such a remarkable in fluence in clearing the nose, throat and air passages of catarrh. Your noseas are all the important cavities of the body, is lined with mucous membrane. So is your throat and even your skin covering is a mod ified form of mucous tissue. Now. all toxins or blood Impurities are eliml-'j nated by way of this membrane. Stom ach distress, intestinal bloating, liver engorgement, kidney weakness, sore lungs and bronchial tubes that pro duce cough; an irritated bladder, diar rhoea and other bowel troubles all may be and often are inflamed and Involved in a general state of disturb ance whfch is recognized as catarrh. And it is through their mucous mem branes that the impurities or hyper secretions of mucus must be eliminat ed. In such an event It is often nec essary that these secretions be pre pared by some internal medicinal in fluence or action before they can be effectually gotten rid of. And if not so prepared for elimination they are usually deposited in some vital parts and remain as points Of concentration for various forms of chronic Inflamma tion. Now. the action ot S. S. S. is to so prepare the various blood impurities for elimination that they are readily seized upon by the mucous membranes for expulsion. And If S. S. S. were fnore generally used as a membrane ous catalytic there would be no ca tarrh. But along comes LaGrippe and "Bad Colds," all the mucous mem branes are involved and the nose, throat, bronchial tubes and lungs be ing closely allied in the process of burning up Impurities these become clogged, hence . catarrh, bronchitis, chronic sore throat, pneumonia, cough, C. fMhm c?

TODAY'S BEAUTY AIDS To clear up and whiten the skin and secure that charm of pink and white youthful freshness so much desired by all women you will find it far safer to rely upon a pood face lotion rather than powder. To get rid of that shiny and muddy appearance in your com plexion dissolve four ounces of spur max In one-half pint hot water, and add two teaspoonfuls glycerine. Apply this, to your face, neck and arms, rub bing gently until dry. .This lotion does not show or rub off like powder and Is much better. It is splendid for remov ing tan, freckles, pimples and sallow ness. ' You can make a delightful shampoo fora very trifling cost if you get from your druggist a package of canthrox and dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water. Pour a little at a tlrrre on the scalp and rub briskly. This creates an abundance of thick, white lather that thoroughly dissolves and removes all dandruff, excess oil and dirt. After rinsing:, the hair dries quickly, with a flufflness that makes it seem heavier than It is. and tkes on a rich luster and a softness that makes arranging It a pleasure. Adv Stop the Smoke? Where's the Fire ? and then the general Involvement of the stomach, kidneys, bladder and all other organs of the hody. Cough remedied, nose greases and throat tablets, gargles, sprays and so on are merely stives on a smoking chimney. The fire may be down in the stom ach or in the liver or in the kidneys. The very fact that the noso is con stantly pouring out or is plugged up with mucus must convince anyone that the supply is coming from many deeper sources. This explains why local treatment for catarrh is and always has been a total failure. The action must be in ternal and there are ingredients in S. S. S. which not only eliminate ca tarrhal impurities by way of the mu cous membranes but they put a stop to their seeking the point of concen tration in th? nose and other parts of the breathing apparatus. - These facts have been demonstrat ed for many years and are known to thousands in every community where catarrh abounds. But people cannot seem to shake off the notion that the nose is the seat of trouble. The nose is merely an outlet, the same as the bladder, bowels, skin and the expul sive process of the lungs. Urge jourself to get a bottle of S. S. S. tsiay. Get your mucous lin ings in evaer and not only will ca tarrh disappear, but away goes a myriad of other symptoms that usually .ress nine people out of ten. S.
