Representative McArthur, in a
speech on the Niagara water power
bill, whlSh regulates the use of water
above the falls of Niagara, declared
that if any Ittx is to be Imposed for

-, He argued that the determination
.of the amount of an annual charge
ahould not be left to tne secretary
of war, as provided in the bill, 'but
should be decided by congress, in
any event. The secretary would have
to depend on some subordinate, he
eaia, and congress delegates too much
power to executive officials.
''Congress has come to be a Joke
In the nilnds of many people," he as
Tserted, "because we ore emasculating
,,'oiirselvea and placing too much power
;ftn the hands of bureaucrats."
y fi suggested that if the federal
government Is to fix a tax on water
power It should be done in the form
of a revenue bill, falling upon con
cerns already in operation, as well at
upon those to be developed. Other
wise, he contended, there will be a

TVariitag Issued to Farmers.
Washington, Feb. 22. Learning that
Job-seekers in some parts of the coun
try arc beginning to swarm around the
farm loan associations, the federal
farm 'loan board has issued another
warning to farmers against persons
who are tryinjr to make the rural cred
its system yield them a personal profit.
It is reported that some persons are
at work., organizing' local associations
with the object of having themselves
. elected secretary-treasurer at exoes
slv salaries, and in some cases too
much lsfbelng paid for appraisals. In
still ether cases, attorneys and ab
stracting firms are said -to b busy
stirring up work for themselves.
QTh board warns that "any assoda
tlon. whlh gives evidenc of having
been organized for purposes of private
. profit-will be given very careful scrut
iny. before a charter Is granted."
" Revenue Legislation Protested.
' Washington. Feb. 22. Pleading that
the revenue legislation pending before
congress places too heavy a burden
upon business, and that this cost
"should be distributed, without making
it such a heavy tax on business, which
1 th country's life and mainstay,"
th Portland Chamber of Commerce
has sent a protest to members of the
Oregon delegation. ' -
Th measure against which this pro
test is aimed is one which provides
money in a special fund to meet the
added expense of preparedness by im
posing a tax of 8 per cent after profits
of a firm have siven the owners a re
turn of 8 per cent on their capital. It
. also adds to the surtax on lnherl-
. tances.
