AMERICA MAY SAVE
TURNING HANDS
(By United Preea to The Daily Bulletin)
NEW YORK. Jan. 26. A plan to
aet tho clocks of the United States
ahead on hour May 1 to save day
light until September 30, will be con
sidered by the Daylight Saving Na
tional Convention which begins here
Monday.
"This plan." said Borough Presi
dent Marcus M. Murks, of Now York,
fathered the idea In this county,
"which was so successfully used in
Europe Inat yonr, would save the
United Stntos $90,000,000 in arti
ficial light and fuel alono.
"Tills plan has boon heartily en
dorsed by lending commercial bodies
In Chicago, Pittsburgh, Now York,
Rochostor, Detroit, Clovoland and
elsowhore. '
, "Tho plan Is simply that botwoon
May 1 and Soptomhor 30, when day
light conies so onrly, wo sot tho
clocks of tho country an hour ahead.
That gotfl tho country to work an
hour earlier and permits it to quit
while it Ib still broad daylight, thus
obviating the noccsslty for so much
artificial light.
"To this National Convontlon, tho
ChnmborB ot Coramorce nnd Boards
WOULD REGULATE ALL
CAREY PROJECTS.
Hills Introduced Provide for Fixing
Manager's Compensation by Util
ities Commission Regulate
and Prohibit extensions.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 26. Three bills
aimed at Carey Act project manage
mcnts. and designed to place their
administration more fully under the
regulation of the Public Service Com
mission, have been Introduced in the
legislature, ono by Representative
Forbes, of Bund, one by Plowden
Stott, and one by Al. Jones.
One bill makes it Illegal for any
one to receive compensation In any
form whatever, as an official of a
Carey Act project, unless the salary
or compensation is fixed by the Pub
lie Service Commission.
Another bill gives the Public Ser
vice Commission "full and exclusive
authority to Investigate, regulate,
and otherwise supervise the opera
tions of Carey Act projects.
The third bill prohibits the ex
tension of any contracts entered Into
by the state relative to Carey Act
projects, when the terms of the con
tract have not been fulfilled by the
contracting corporation.
It Is felt by those well informed
that the second bill, granting the
commission fuller Jurisdiction "over
Carey Act projects, haa an excellent
chance for passage, as a strong senti
ment to such an end seems to exist,
especially in view of the delays
which have been experienced in the
recent investigation of the Central
Oregon Irrigation Company by the
State Commission, which was blocked
by the company In Its Initial efforts.
The text of the billa is as follows:
' The Compensation Act.
"Section 1. From and after the
passage of this Act, it shall be un
lawful for any person, firm or cor
poration engaged in the business of
reclaiming lands under what la com
monly known aa the Carey Act, to
pay or cause to be paid to any per
son, firm or corporation any money,
sums of money or other representa
tive of value in lieu of services, or
(or any person, firm or corporation
to accept, or receive any money, or
sums of money or other representa
tive of value in lieu of services with
out said compensation bo to be paid
or to be received having been fixed
by the Public Service Commission
as a reasonable charge for such ser
vice or compensation."
The second bill follows:
"Section 1. From and after the
passage of this Act the Public Ser
vice Commission of the State of Ore
gon is hereby given and granted full
and exclusive authority to investi
gate, regulate and provide rules and
fix charges for the construction, op
eration, maintenance, for any and
all of the Carey Act Irrigation pro
jects now in operation within the
State of Oregon. The authority

PORTLAND, Or., Jan. 26. Eleven
hundred seventy-six fires on the na

and Alaska, burned over 9000 acres
ot timberland, destroyed 25 million
board feet of merchantable timber
worth $23,000 and young growth
and forage worth $12,000, and cost
