White POWER BILL IS AMENDED IMPORTANT CHANGES ARE MADH IN" SENATE MEASURE. Western Senators Will Aceept Bill Now, but Not One In Home, De clare Mr. Sntoot. OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash ington, March 2. The Senate public lands committee has adopted several important amendments to the Ferris- Slyers water - power bill, principal among them being one relative to Fed eral charges. As rewritten section 8 authorizes the Secretary of the Inter ior to collect charges or rentals lor all land leased, basing the charges "on the value of the land to be determined by the amount of horsepower to be devel oped, and which charge shall not ex ceed 25 cents per developed horsepow er per year for the actual power sold or used." Another important amendment is made in section one. so that power sites may be leased for 50 years "and thereafter until the property is taken over and paid for or a new lease is executed." A change is made in the recapture clause, section five, which will require the Government, if it exercises the right, upon the expiration of a lease, to take over the power plant, to take all properties 'constructed, acquired or owned by any lessee and used in the development, generation or transrais sion of electric current." This amend ment would require the Government, in case it took over a plant built in part- before the Ferris act became op erative, to take the entire property and not alone that part built under the terms of the Ferris act. Another amendment will permit pow er companies to make contracts for power extending indefinitely beyond the 50-year period; as originally re ported, contracts for power could not be made to run more than 25 years be yond the term of the lease. The amendments made today are ap proved by Secretary Lane, and also are indorsed by Henry J. Pierce, of Se attle, and other water-power men in Washington. Senator Smoot says Western Senators will accept the Fer ris bill with these amendments, but will not accept the House bill. 0. W.
