VETOES DAM BILL
President Roosevelt Sends Spe
cial Message to Congress.
Announcing His Opposition to a
Measure Enacted.
HE OUTLINES A POLICY
Which HeTliInks Should Govern
in Granting Franchises.
Heritage of the People Should
Not Go for Nothins.
Washington, April 14. In a special
message vetoing a dam bill, President
Boose velt warned congress that there
are pending in this session bills which
propose to give away without price
stream rights capable of developing
1,800,000 horse power, whose production
would -cost annually 25,000,000 tons of
coal, urging in vigorous terms the es
tablishment of a policy such as the fil
ibustering minority of the house de
mands, which would safeguard the
granting of bridge and dam privileges
and require the grantee to pay for
them; and definitely announcing a fu
ture policy on his part with regard to
prompt utilization of construction priv
ileges by refusing his signature to a
bill that gives an additional three years
to the Rainy River Improvement com
pany within which to build a dam in
the Rainy river
"I do not believe," says the president,
"that natural resources should be
granted and held in an undeveloped
condition either for speculative or oth
er reasons. So far as I am aware
there are no assurances that the gran
. tees in this case are in any better con
dition promptly and properly to utilize
this opportunity than they were at the
time of the original act granting the
privilege ten years ago." Discussing
broadly the federal policy, the presi
dent says:
"Every permit to construct a dam on
a navigable stream should specifically
recognize the right of the government
to fix a term for its duration and to
Impose such charge or charges as may
be deemed necessary to protect the
present and future Interests of the
United States in accordance with the
act of June 21, 1906.
"The provision for a charge Is of

vital importance. The navigability of
every inland waterway and of all con
nected or connectable inland water
ways as a whole should be Improved
for the purpose of interstate and for
eign commerce upon a consistent and
unified plan by which each part should
be made to help every other part.
Heritage of the People.
"The income derivable from this
source would materially aid in the
complete Improvement of our naviga
ble waters, for which there is now such
crying need. The chief of engineers of
the army reports the bills now pending
at this session permit the construction
of dams in navigable rivers capable of
developing over 1.300,000 horse power.
These rivers run every hour of the day
and every day in the year. To develop
this amount of power would under
average conditions, require about 25.
000,000 tons of medium quality coal ev
ery year. This natural wealth is the
heritage of the people. I see no reason
for giving it away. Though there is
every reason for not imposing condi
tions so burdensome as to prevent the
utilization of the power.
"We are now at the beginning of a
great development in water power. Its
use through electrical transmission is
entering more and more largely into
every element of the daily life of the
people; already the evils of monopoly
are becoming manifest; already the
experience of the past shows the ne
cessity of caution in making unre
stricted grants of this great power.
"The present policy pursued in
making these grants Is unwise in giv
ing away the property of the people
in the flowing waters to individuals
or organizations practically unknown
and granting in .perpetuity these val
uable privileges in advance of the for
mation of definite plans as to their
use. In some cases the grantees ap
parently have little or no financial or
other ability to utilize the gift, and
have sought it merely because it could
be had for the asking.
"In place of the present haphazard
policy of permanently alienating val
uable public property, we should sub
stitute a definite policy along the fol
lowing lines:
Declares His Policy.
"First There should be a limited or
carefully guarded grant in the nature
of an option or opportunity afforded
within reasonable time for develop
ments of plans and for execution of the
project.
"Second Such a grant of conces
sion should be accompanied in the act
making the grant by a provision ex
pressly making it the duty of the des
ignated official . to annul the grant if
the work is not begun or plans are not
carried out in accordance with the
authority granted. ,
"Third It should also be the duty of
some designated official to see to it
that in approving the plans the maxi
mum development of the navigation
and power is assured or at least that
in making the plans these may not be
so developed as ultimately to interfere
with the better utilization of water or
complete developments of the power.
"Fourth There should be a license
fee or - charge which though small or
nominal at the outset, can in the fu
ture be adjusted so as to secure a
control in the interest of the public.
"Fifth Provision should be made for
the termination of the grant or privi
lege at a definite time leaving to fu
ture generations the power or auth
ority to renew or extend the conces
sion in accordance with the condition
which may prevail at that time." -

Report on Western trnlon Property In
Kansas.
Commenting on the fact that the
Western Union Telegraph company's
property report, which was filed with
the state tax commission on Monday
shows a decrease of $225,000 from the
amount on which the company was as
sessed in 1907, W. C. CarswelL the Kan
sas manager of the company said to
day: "We have turned in our property this
year at what it is worth. Last year
the tax commissioners increased our
valuation so much that it was out of
all proportion to other property in
the state. We protested as loud as we
could, but It did no good, and w are
now simply demanding justice."

POLITICAL GOSSIP.
(Continued from Page One.
machine rule in the Republican party
shall end, and machine Republicans
meet this charge with the statement
that a Democratic state administration
is preferable to a Stubbs administra
tion. "Democrats, therefore, are justified
in the belief that they can carry Kan
sas for the national and state Demo
cratic tickets in November, and with
Colonel W. A. Harris as the candi
date for United States senator it is
possible for the Democrats to take that
office from Senator Long. The state
primary election law provides for the
nomination of a candidate for senator
by legislative districts, and not by a
plurality vote in the state at large. Of
the 123 legislative and 40 senatorial
districts, about 50 were carried at the
last election by the Renublicans by
pluralities of from 25 to 75. A well
organized Republican bolt after the
primaries are held would - sweep these
and many others into the Democratic
column. ;
John Q. Royce says the Sixth con
gressional district . is for Leland for
governor. Some people are against
Stubbs, but we have never yet seen a
man who would own up that he was
for Leland. Jewell Republican. You
probably have never met Dan Dyer ol
Smith Center. Smith County Pioneer.
Downs Times: Some of the papers
backing Ham and Young are in a
squabble just now. The Osborne
News claims that people over that way
are simply clamoring to get to put
their name down on Ham's nominating
papers. Up at Gaylord where nearly
everybody is for Reeder, Ham's pa
pers, so the Sentinel states, have been
returned to him twice without a signa
ture, all of which leads the Beloit Ga
zette, a Young organ, to say the Ham
boomers are claiming the earth but
that there are several corner lots that
he has not yet secured by warranty
deeds. This is not the right! (kind of
tactics to use in this anythlng-to-beat-Reeder
campaign.
BRYAN CLUB IN TOPEKA.
Mr. W. O. RiRby Is President of the
Organization.
The Democrats of Topeka organ
ized a Bryan club last evening, starting

dent; George Wagner, vice president;
H. P. Miller, secretary, and Frank
Thomas, treasurer.
Bimonthly meetings will be held

Admiral Evans Much Better.
"-' Paso Rbbles Hot Springs, Cal., April
14. "Rear Admiral Evans had a
splendid night and - his improvement
Is most encouraging," said Surgeon P.
E. McDonnold this morning.- "The
pain in his left knee which has made
it necessary for him to remain quiet

tion before the Chicago Bar associa

fProbablv You Wonder j
Why other local clothiers run large advertise
ments recommending cinnamon brown and mus
tard brown in plaids, checks and overplaids in
33-34 inch long coats, with big hip and set cuff
trousers as the "what to buy" in ' men's and
young men's suits, when every authority on
men's wear in the land is emphasizing the fact
that any one of the above features places a suit
in the has-been class.v The reason why you are
assured by local clothiers that the above des
cribed styles, patterns and shades are correct is
due to the fact that the advertisers are loaded
up with a mess of undesirable job lots, absolute
ly unsalable in the east and they must be,
dumped on the Topeka trade. -
Note the Contrast
In the products we are pushing and we have
such absolute faith in our suits that we are not
afraid to tell you just exactly what they are.
That we are showing a store full of the new zoo
or animal colorings, such as camel, bear, deer,"
fawn, elk, bison, reindeer, elephant, moose and
all the jungle shades. (Instead of wood brown, v
cinnamon brown and mustard browns, advertis
ed by our competitors.) . We recommend stripes
because they are correct this season in spite

New York Stock Market.
Wall St.. New York, April 14. STOCKS
Price changes at the opening ol tne scock
market today were unusually narrow, but
there was an easier tone in the snecula
tion which was reflected in losses of
point in N. Y. Central, Northern Pacific,
Amalgamated Copper and American
Smelting.
A demand for various low priced stocks
and usually obscure specialties was con
spicuous. Scarcely any interest was man
ifested in the usually active stocks, but
they were all auoted a trifle above their
opening prices. The local stocks were re
actionary. Metropolitan Street Railway
dropped 5 and Third Avenue 2.
Fluctuations were unimportant in their
range, except in the group of speculation.
In that group fresh advances were mixed
with sharp reactions in those which mov
ed upwards yesterday. Third Avenue
dropped Vt points and then rallied 24.
Bond wer irregular.
Prices of the standard stocks were quot
ed at 1 o'clock at practically the same
level as yesterday's closing. Colorado and
Southern second preferred rose 1.
