i aJ Claimed for Stale.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
lngton, Aug. 18. Representative
Nicholas J. SInnott, of Oregon, ad
dressed th House today In support of
the water power bill in the form In
which It Was reported to that body,
except that he urged the elimination
of the clause whlcn would extend the
definition of navigable waters to In
clude all tributaries of navigable
waters.
After emphasizing the importance of
water-power development. Mr. SInnott
asserted the proprietary Interest of the
several states in their water resources
subject to the right of the federal
Government to control navigation. He
denied the right of the Government to
collect any fees form water-power
privileges, other than an amount suf
ficient to defray administrative ex
penses.
Reatals Claimed fer State.
"If It be wise.- said Mr. SInnott. "to
make substantial rental charges, these
rentals should belong to the people
of the states owning the water re
sources." Speaking particularly of Oregon's
Interest in water-power development,
Mr. Sinnott said that In the Columbia
River basin is one-third of the poten
tial c.000,000-horsepower estimated to
be In the United States. He described
the 180 miles of cliff-bound torrent
flowing down the gorge of the Des
chutes, where. In the last 111 miles,
600,000-horsepower can be developed
a power almost equal to that developed
at Niaarara.
He declared that water capable of
developing nearly 1.S00.000 horsepower
Is running to waste in Oregon a power
equivalent to that produced by is.uuo,
000 tons of coal with a value of f 144,
000.000 annually.
Photograph Shews Possibilities.
Mr. SInnott Illustrated by means of
a large photograph the possibilities ol
power development at The Dalles,
where a -5-foot dam could easily be
built to develop (00,000 horsepower
eight months in the year and nearly
00.000 the other four months.
He pictured the possibility of a dam
S00 feet high. Impounding the waters
In an Inland sea extending back 80
miles, nearly to Hermiston, with a pos
sible development of S.000,000 horse-
cower.
Mr. SInnott argued In support of the
net Investment rather than the fair
value of recompensing lessees of water
power sites if the Government decides
to take them over at the expiration of
the lease, and closed his address with
an eloquent word picture of the oppor
tunities for development In the Pacific
Northwest.
Speech Warsaly Applaaded.
Mr. Sinnott was accorded close at
tention during his address and was
several times Interrupted with ques
tlons or controversial arguments.
The strong points of his address were
warmly applauded, and at the close of
his speech he waa highly complimented,
particularly with regard to that por
tion of his address devoted to discus
sion of the legal phases of the subject.
of Oregon from Edward C. Elliott,
chancellor of the University of Mon
tana, director of the Students' Army
Training Corps for the district, in
dicates that a plan for provisional en
listments of men who expect to attend
college during the coming year is pro
Jected y the War Department and may
be inaugurated within the very near
future.
Such enlistments would prevent the
taking of students in the draft before
the opening of the school year, when
they will be enlisted in the United
States Army as members of , the
Students' Army Training Corps.
Director Elliott says provision will
also be made for the voluntary indue
tlon of college men of draft age into
the service upon the opening of school
ahead of their order numbers in the
draft as members of the Students Army
Training Corps.

The Germans resisted vigorously, but

reason of the fact that the Germans

used by the Government In increasing
gold production. Announcement of the
conference was made In Portland 'yes
day by posters received at the Chamber
of Commerce Irom F. C. Bailey, secre
tary of the Northwest Mining Associa
tion. That the allied governments with to
stimulate the output of gold so far as
to put the nations on a better financial
basis was the claim put forth in the
announcement.
Mean, of finding new supplies ofgold,
how to mine It and ways of Govern

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. The House
ways and means committee, after an
all-day discussion of Administrative
provisions and other details of the SS,
000.000,000 revenue bill, was unable to
reach a final agreement on the details
of the income and excess profits tax
schedules.
Chairman Kltchln conceded that it
was doubtful of the bill could be re
ported to the House by the committee
by next Monday. He announced, how
ever, that there Is no question what
ever of the bill raising the total 88,'
000,000.000 sought.
Mr. Kltchln announced that Secre
tary McAdoo In his latest letter agreed
to the plan of dividing business into
groups for purposes of deduction of
pre-war earnings, but that a maximum
12 per cent deduction, whioh the com
mittee had proposed to give the min
ing and kindred hazardous enterprises.
was too great and that 10 per cent was
more equitable.
Two Groapa Proposed.
The. committee In all probability will
write into the bill a division of cor
porations and other business enter
prises Into two groups for deduc
tion purposes in the war profits tax
on the basis of pre-war earnings.
These groups will probably be:
Financial and transportation. Includ
ing all public utilities, -8 per cent de
duction; Manufacturing, mining, gas and oil
well and other miscellaneous business,
10 per cent deduction. -
A sub-committee, headed by Repre
sentative Ralney, of Illinois, was ap
pointed and will report tomorrow in
favor of a drastio tax on opium and
other narcotics, with the purpose of
meeting the situation which was
created by the decision of the Supreme
Court, which took away much of the
effectiveness of the Harrison antl
narcotio law.
Heavy Taxes la Prospect.
The sub-committee will recommend a
Federal license tax of 824 for Import
ers and compounders, 812 for wholesale
dealers, $3 for retail dealers, and 83 for
physicians, veterinary surgeons and
dentists prescribing opium or other
narcotics.
The "legislative drafting board," as
agreed upon today. Is to have a body
of experts to draw 'bills and other leg
islative documents. Lach of the two
members will receive 86000 a year.
An effort was made by Representa
tives Moore and Longworth to relieve
symphony orchestras from the 20 per
cent amusement admission tax, but the
committee rejected the proposition.
The committee decided that hotel
news-stands which sell tickets to
amusements at high rates shall pay
the admission tax.
Sight-seeing vehicles are also sub
ject to the tax.
