Commissioner Smith Makes
Special Report Showing
Danger to Public.
tDy Associated I'rcso to tho Ooos Bay
Times.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, March 23
Concentration of control over water
powers by largo Interests in import
nnt localities Is Increasing so rapid
ly thnt Herbert Knox Smith, commis
sioner of corporations, has reportod
to President Tnft thnt tho govern
ment should prcservo tltlo to tho re
maining power sites and develop
them to prevent a possible monopo
lization of public utility companies.
A full report of the commissioner's
Investigation of wntcr power develop
ment was presented to the president
today.
Commissioner Smith directs par
ticular attention to tho increasing
nfflllntlon of wntor power concerns
nnd public service ngcnclcs, such ati
street rullwny and lighting corpora
tions, nnd oftentimes banks ns well.
Tho connection, between Bitch con
cerns ho regards of serious public
significance. Tho concentration of
control over wntor powers, tho com
missioner dcclnrcs, Ik exorcised part
ly by direct ownership of stock, but
mainly through Interlocking direc
torates. Tho rnpldly Increasing concentra
tion of wntor power control nbout
which tho commissioner sounds n
wnrnlug may becomo, ho says, tho
nucleus for n monopoly of both wntcr
nnd steam power. If tho wntor pow
er cannot moot tho cntlro demand of
a given locality ho points out that
tho owners enn ncqulro nuxlllnry fuol
plants nnd handle wnter nnd fuel
power over tho same distributing
lines nnd thus n complete commercial
powor monopoly might gradually bo
built up In fact already oxlHts In n
locnl concentration.
Ton great groups of Interests, with
the Oonornl Electric Company ns tho
most powerful, nro declared by Com
missioner Smith to control or strong
ly Influcnco nbout CO per cont of tho
dovelopcd commorclnl wntor powor
nf tho United States. These ton
groups thcmsclvra nro moro or less
Intcr-rolntcd, with resultant growing
community of interests. In this con
nection tho commissioner's report
rays:
"Tho public can cither dovolop
and opornto tho rites, soiling tho en
ergy at market rntcs, or tho public
mny lenRO tho sites nt a rental fairly
representing Its natural value." Tho
commissioner favors tho rental sys
tem. Tho wntor power of tho country,
dovolopcd nnd practically capable of
dovclopmont nt this time, probnbly
doos not exceed 2G, 000,000 horse
Tho bureau of corporations, In Its
Investigations, found concentration
ot water powers, according to tho re
port In three distinct phases. First
there wns a contrnllzntlon ot control
In ench Important locnlltyj second
ly, largo interests influenced a num
ber of these local concerns, nnd flnnl
ly thero was found n growing rela
tionship nmong the big lntcrastq,
"In California six great powor
corporations, of which tho most Im
portant Is the Pnclflc Qns nnd Elec
tric Company, (with 118,343 horso
power,) together control 375,000
horsepower oer 80 per cent of nil
the developed water power In tho
stnte," Mr. Smith says In discussing
local ccnctrntlon.
"In Washington two comrymM
control 210,000 horsepower, or about
70 per cent of nil developed water
power.
"In South Carolina, tho Southern
Tower Company ownB nbout 101,000
horsepower or 75 por cont of th
totnl commercially developed with
73,000 horsepower undeveloped.
"In tho southern peninsula ot
Michigan, tho Commonwnlth Power,
Ilnllwny nnd Light Company controls
52,000 horsepower or 73 por cont ot
tho commerclnlly dovolopod, to
gether with probnbly 71,000 horse
power moro undeveloped.
"Practically similar conditions ex
ist In Montana, Colorado, Ocorgln.
nnd nt Niagara Knlls."
