Leighton, Engineer, In ' dorses Oregon's Laws and Roosevelt's; and Pinchot's Ideas of Government Control , , By John E. Lathrop. , Washington, Feb., 10. Oregon's water laws find endorsement in a treatise by B. O. Lelghton, an eminent engineer em ployed by tne geological survey. (Mr. Lelghton ha issued a review of Water use and comment on needed laws for the control of power altea, together with . aome decidedly Interesting predictions of coming consolidation! of power com panies. Mr. Leigh tons' word la listened to wlfch cara by all who follow these mat ters; and political watchers find In hla statement Just put out the notice able fact that he, endorses in effect what President Booaevelt and Clifford Plnohot' had to say concerning power company consolidations and the necea alty of preparing for adequate control, lest the, people Buffer undue eztractiona from a too free power trust In part Mr. Lelghton aaya: ConsoUdatloa Possibilities. ' "Modern water power development. In the United States, has hardly passed ita experimental atage, yet the problem be fore the country looma large with a complexity of entanglements. Hydro electric ' properties have not yet, as a class, returned to the Investor a suc cession of awollen dividends. The In dustry la aubject to the aame exigencies aa are other industries and except in a few caaca, notwithstanding the testi mony of many popular magazine arti cles. It beara no resemblance to Alad din's lamp aa a revenue producer, "On the other hand there is a real menace In the present situation. Cer tain great consolidations of water pow er Interests have taken place during the last few Tears, and these, with th an- 'vpearanca of the names of -a few per- sons among the officers or in the di rectorate of a large number of compan ies operating water power plants, mak ing new Installations, or manufacturing or marketing water power or electrio machinery, point unmistakably to a con centration of ownerahip in several Jrroupa which might consolidate or at eaat effect a community of agreement. TBa Menace la the Situation. "The menace In the prospect, however. Ilea not ao muoh In thle probability as , in the power which such a combination' would poaseas to manipulate unright eously the public Interest. The menace while thua far only speculative, does not obviate the necessity for legislation --legislation therefore to prevent Crimea and abuses, since experience shows that In the present state of aoclety mankind la yet frail. "But what kind of legislation?: Con- aolldatlon la inevitable. Water-power is a natural monopoly by reason of the natural law of stream flow. There la no virtue In preventing consolidation "At economy In maintenance and operation Is thereby prevented; and consolidation . doea secure distinct and unusual econ omies, so that If the consumer receives the benefits, he gains by the consolida tion, ; Therefore the solution of the problem lies in legislative regulation of waterpower development and mainte nance t the- end that the consumer shall pay only a fair and reasonable price for power. ' In the old world It has been decided a proper function of the government to dtclare waterpowers of public utility and to place them un der appropriate laws, the assumption being that the public has a dominant Interest in the development of this great natural resource. Governmental Control Inevitable. Several states have already, begun to real tie the need for legislation and have enacted laws of good purport, If not en tirely comprehensive, notably New York, Pennsylvania and Oregon; but these cx amplee are not sufficient to establish a common policy. The country cannot af ford to be wise merely In spots and the- need for concerted state or national action is one of the present moment. Delay in acceptance of this fact by the American people will be at enormous, cost, for ultimate governmental control' Is Inevitable." Mr. Lelghton cites opinions both pro and con relative to the right of the fed-. ni guvci iiuimii nj cuuirui waterpower on navigable streams and their contrlbu tarles, and to make chargea for water-! power. He mentlona Instances in which power generated at government dams in the Ohio valley Is sold at an annual .aggregate rental of over $5000. In dis cussion our present unpreparedness in the United States to meet the new ques tions involved in power development In the United " States in connection with the great advance made abroad, he di rects attention to a condition which goes beyond the matter of mere Internal ad justment of the problem. Great indus tries will seek locations for their estab lishment where ' waterpower privileges are granted along favorable and well de fined lines, and these they will find in a,t least threo European countries. There is a menace to American industrial lead ership, he believes, In this situation. The waterpower sites of Europe are close to the great markets of the world, and the cheapest sources of energy ar.e 'going to io vDU niLiivub fctoiciiw iv ally yalm tlcular flag. Ia there anyone in the United States, he asks; so confident of tnls country's Industrial leadership as to assert that the wholesale development of these large and cheap powers will iot seriously affect our status? This nation has now no waterpower policy worthy of the name, and it must either meet the situation with soma euch com prehensive plan as that recommended by -the president In his conservation mes sage to congress or . else give way . to Aiinrtaa Vl 1 rH hav well riAflnari nnlL IT ! .iv . v ...... ..V&...WV. jsw..
