THE . OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, -THURSDAY. MARCH 6, 1919. ATTEMPT TO PASS WATERPOWER BILL BALKED BY SENATE House Record Kept Clear by Passage of Bill, but Special interests in Senate Block. SIMS BILL BASIS OF FIGHT Agreement Reached in Confer ence After Hard Fight and Compromise on Few Provisions Washington. D. C, March 6 (WASH INGTON BUREAU OP THE JOUR NAL) The house of representatives, when it adopted the conference report on. the waterpower bHl Jn the last days of the session, was not deceived by any idea that - this would he followed by action in the senate and ripen into the law. ; The house, which' has several times passed- waterpower legislation, only to be balked by special interests in the senate desired to keep its record clear once more. Its leaders were deter mined that after the long: . struggle In conference which at times seemed im possible to result in agreement, the blame of failure should not be placed upon them. The bill the house passed is of par ticular interest because it is the first time the conferees of the two houses have agreed, and upon the framework of this perfected bill it may be assumed, the neat attempt to secure legislation will proceed. : Agreement was secured in large me as Hire upon the Sims, or house bill, which has been substituted for the Shields, or senate bill, which was of entirely dif ferent character. .In all its larger fea tures the house bill was followed, estab lishing a federal power commission, to be composed of the secretaries of war, tater$0T and agriculture, with power to make 50 year leases upon' the navigable streams or upon the. public lands or government reserves for the generation of power. Compromise On Recapture Clans . The bill provides that at the end of 60 i years, if the- government does not -taJcfe ' over the 'nlant or . errant a , new .license "to the twghaal or a new grantee, annual licenses may issue from year to year to the original grantee until final -disposition for a new leasing period. On the recapture clause, which be came a subject of - sharp debate, a compromise was reached ' whereby the house provision for measuring the value of the property; taken, - by the net in vestment, was adopted. Jb.ut limited by "not to exeeed the fair value of the property taken." . This met the approval of all the disputants. -Payment to the United States ol! "reasonable annual charges- in an amount to be fixed by the commission,' was retained as In the Sims bill, and the only change of importance, made in the matter, of the federal charge was to provide, that when licenses; cover the use of structures owned by 'the United States, the charges may be, readjusted In 20 years from the beginning, and every 10 years thereafter, instead of ' periods of not less than 10 years. State and municipal plants, devoted to the publio use, and small plants developing less than 60 horsepower are exempted from payment. . Waivers Provided la Act Changes which were made in con ference in the amortization section direct amortization reserve rules to be applied after the first 20 years of opera tion. Instead of from the beginning. Waiver of the conditions of the act is authorised in issutng licenses for only Jiart of a complete project, where government land is required only for transmission lines, reservoir, or like .purposes, or for plants, of not over 50 horsepower, the commission using its discretion in each case as to the con dition proper to be waived. A publicity provision was added in conference, requiring that names, of the lessees, the term and the money received be made publio in all cases. These are the chief variations from the Sims bill as-it came from conference, Significant because Indicating the lines upon which legislation may in the end be expected.
