S ON ONE INCOME Appears to Call for State, Action, Not for Federal Legislation, He Says UTS PROBERS' VIEWS findings Will Determine His Aption in the Matter BELIEVES NO HARM DONE Finds Only Conneciion of Goiern ment ivlth Power Concents was That of Issuing ijermlts to Iiim Streams SUPERIOR. Wis.; Aitg. 17. (AP) Evidence o far as obtained by the federal trade commission in tta Investigation of the activities of electric public utlllUos appears to resident Cooiidge to call only for state action and not for federal legislation. - - Before finally determining, how ever, - whether he will have any recommendation to make to the next congress regarding power com pan lea, the chief executive will await the report of the federal co.ti- miMon and study the conclusions it will have derived from its Inquiry. As far as Mr. Cooiidge knows the only connection which the fed eral government has had with the power concerns investigated has been that in certain cases permits for damming navigable streams have been issued by Washington. The Interstate trade done by the utilities in question la very small. .Mr, Cooiidge has been Informed, and the central government could not even Interest I tne If in them on account of Interstate commerce commission. Says It Is State Problem " ' President Cooiidge la therefore confirmed In the opinion he form ed several months ago, when the , Investigation first opened,, that the problem arising from public uuii ties could best be dealt with by the individual states through their own legislatures. The chief executive has not given much thought so far as to what his recommendations will be - to the next congress regarding Muscle Shoals and Boulder Dam, but he does not expect that these will dif fer from his recommendations In previous messages. The only new element which Mr. Cooiidge sees In the situation as It affects Boulder Dam. Is the report which the board of engineering ex perts, appointed to study the techni cal aspects of that problem, will submit to him before next Decem ber. The chief executive cannot say at present whether he will eventually follow the report's recommendations, but he Intends In any-case to give It his most earnest consideration. Receives Reports From Sontli Reports which have been brought to President Cooiidge of the floods In Georgia and In the Carolinas show that the situation, although disquieting. Is not beyond the re sources of the United States and bf the Red Cross. The latest advicea to President Cooiidge regarding the reported Franco-British agreement for ihe limitation of auxiliary warcraft. have represented that understand ing as being moroUn tho nature ot a proposal for a common ground on which to meet than an actual binding agrement. The administration has- at pres net no plans for further steps look ing to international limitation of mem has been cooperating and will armaments. The American govern- continuo to do so. with the various disarmaments committees and con ferences in Geneva and for the time bclntr President Cooiidge feels, Us activities should not be extended beyond that point. Tho so caled Franco - British agreement wns represented to the chief executive as a proposal us eeptable to elaboration by which the French and the British govern ments might find a way out of the deadlock over limitation by total tonnage nnd limitation by class tonnage which has rendered all disarmament discussions at Geneva fruitless so far. President Cooiidge did not for get today that Rear-Admiral Ed. ward Walter Eberlt. former chief of naval operations, who has dedi cated the past 47 years of his life to the American navy, turned his face definitely to shore today on ac count of age. The chief executive sent Admiral and Mrs. Eberle flowers today, re calling the former's 64th birthday and his many services to his coun try; To his aides, here, ho described his relations with tho retiring ad miral an most cordial. President Cooiidge Is not con cerned by Costa Rica's reduest that the League of Nations define the scope of the Monroe Doctrine, as a prerequisite to that country's con sent to become a member of the Geneva organization once more. Apart from tho fact of whether, under Its covenant, the league has the authority to hand down such a decision, the chief executive feels that since the United States Is not a member of the league, ltn actions do not In any way affect this coun try.

Examiner Rogers Interposed with: . "Governor, there has been some testimony here to lndlcata that the state did not think enough ' of the section to be tapped by this railroad .to nrovlde roada fru it. How about that?" , i "Eastern Oregon provides about 2o per cent ot tne state highway fund, while about 40 per cent of the total expenditures goes for wor keast of the Cascade moun tains, was the pertinent reply. Few Roads Rbralleled "Isn't it a fact, governor,' asked Arthur C. Spencer, O. W. R. 4 N. attorney, "that most of tha stata road program started since 1917, with the exception of the Roose velt highway, has been on roads following existing-lines of trans portation; that is, parallel to railroads?" The demand for roads had naturally been in the more popu lous sections, said the governor. At this point Commissioner Mc.Manamy came to the support of the witness. With a map before him, the commissioner traced a half dozen or more highways which did not parallel railroads. "How about these - roads from Med ford to Klamath Falls via Crater lake, the McKensle high way, tho Ashland Klamath Falls highway, the John Day highway, governor?" he asked. "They don't parallel railroads, do they?"" Burns Road Improved The governor replied that they did not. He also brought out tha fact that the Bend to Burns road had been sufficiently Improved so that a stage lino operated over It, Much wns made by railroad at torneys of the financial distress of certain irrigation districts. "Would, you sanction a move to put set tlers on these districts regardles.l of their financial condition?" asked Mr. Spencer. Governor Patterson said he would not favor settlement of mm. projects under existing conditions, "but those conditions are not go ing to prevail," he added. Tho dis tress, he said, wns due to poor financing readjustments that would unquestionably be worked out. "Does a railroad or colonlsatloni come first In development, gov ernor?" asked Mr. Ellis. The rail road came first, averred the gov ernor. . Would a cross-state railroad help develop the irrigation pro gram of tho state?" asked tho at torney. "It certainly would,", re piled the governor. , BREAK IN DAM AVERTED! FLOODGATES OF LAKE LURD STRUCTURE OPENED LAKE LURE, N. C, Aug.
