CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES ‘Wisconsin has a law compelling slelghs to be built the same width as wagons. Most of the city folk and practically all of the farmers would favor such a law for this state. The north section would welcome it. Here we have plenty of snow throughout the winter months. The narrow sleighs pound down a solid track and in the spring of the year when wagons are brought into use. the driver meets with all kinds of trouble. In order to get over the roads he is complled to run two wheels into the snow or unbroken road, often meeting with an accident The sleighs are too narrow anyway and at a very little cost most of the present ones in use can be widened. The idea was suggested by a farmer and should receive some attention by the next legislature. In Time of Need During the past two days the Pio- neer’s Linotype machine was out of commission. Mr. Wilson of the Sen- tinel was kind enough to allow us the use of his machine, which favor. was much appreciated by both the Ploneer and its readers. The neces- sary repairs arrived this morning and the duties of issuing .a daily pa- per ‘will be continued with prompt dispatch.

With former Secretary of the In- terior Fisher in the chair, former Sec- retary of War Stimson, who joined with Mr. Pinchot In the minority re- port, moved for a suspension of the rules that the water power question might be discussed from the floor. Protests were made by delegates who favor the majority report, which would combine national with state con- trol with less restriction on water pow- er grants. Mr. Fisher ruled that the motion to suspend the rules was not debatable and it was carried amid loud cheers. Mr. Pinchot read the minority re- port and thereby opened the general debate. “If the public rights cannot be rec- ognized without conflict,” Mr. Pinchot said, with emphasis, “then we shall have to fight and, if we have to fight, now is the time.” Mr. Pinchot declared that the de- velopment of water power only under proper safeguards was “the greatest necessity in the whole water power situation.” Concentration Doubled. He quoted figures collected by the federal bureau of corporations and the National Conservation association intended to show that concentration of water power control had nearly doubled in the last two years. “In the last seven years,” he con- tinued, “the concentration of control in the ten greatest groups has in- creased about seven times faster than the total of all water power develop- ment in the United States. If this is not monopoly in the making, where can it be shown? Commercial power to this degree is political power and there lies the greatest danger. “It is argued that concentration of water power control is increasing faster than power development be- cause high risks and low returns keep capital away. “But according to the figures pub- lished by one of the ten greatest groups of power interests, in the last ten years the net earnings of the gas and electric companies of the United States have never dropped below § per cent, as against 4.25 per cent for railroads and 7.79 per cent for indus- trial corporations.” RESCUE SHIP REACHES PORT Steamer Pannonia Has 103 Refugees on Board. New York, Nov. 20.—For the third time in a little over a year a steamer of the Cunard line, “the rescue line.” brought passengers saved from death at sea, when the Pannonia, carrying 103 passengers rescued from the burn- ing Spanish’ steamer Balmes, came into port. Three weeks ago the Carmania brought part of the survivors of the Volturno disaster into New York, and a little-over a year'ago the Carpathia docked here with all that remained of the Titanic’s great passenger list. Of the 103 brought in by the Pan- nonia ninety-three are steerage and must remain at Ellis island until sent on their way to Cadiz or Barcelona, the ports to which the Balmes was bound when it canght fire near Cape Race.
