C Press erititled to the news dispatches credited to i in this paper and also the TO BE LARGER UBLICATION RCULATION GUARANTEED THAT OF ANY OTHER F THE NEW POWER COMMISSION. All of the four members of the Federal | Power Commission, wh nominations were con- firmed recently by the Senate are experienced in | some degree in water power, and bring to their task a familiarity with public service that un- | doubtedly will e helpful in performing their work. George Oti Smith, the Chairman, for the past 23 years, wi 2 few months intermission on duty with the United States Coal Commission, has been director of the United States Geological Sur- vey. He is one of the foremost aut ities in the country on geolog: 14 on mircral and waterpower resources. Technicallv and h:C practical knowl- edge acquired from a lif 1 f experience, he is | thoroughly qualified for cliairmanship of the Commission. His colleagues on’ the Comunission, two from the West and one from the South, have not the same high qualifications, but tk work in the field of | waterpower has been sufficiently extensive to Jus- tify their confirmation. Ralph B. Williamson, is a wellknown Washington State lawyer, specializing in irrigation, and helped to draft the BState water- power act of Washington which is regarded as one of the best in the count Claude L. Draper, is a Wyoming man. He has served on the Wyoming State Public Service Com- mission. Marcel Garsaud, is an engineer of recog- nized ability of New Orleans, La. He was active in recent flood relief activities in which role he came favorably to ti wtice of President Hoover. He is the only Den f the four who were confirmed The fif!! mbership on the Com- mission, ¥ not yet been con- firmed ee to which it was referred ueld was not surprising as both Democrati s and Republican progres- sives have e n intention of going into his nomination They expressed the con- viction that imed solely as 1 political reward and not 1 v special gualifications he possessed. He is a Nouith Carolinan, and was a leader of the anti i movement in that State in 1928. He was reconmended to the President by Senator Furnival M. Simmons, veteran Democratic ehieftan of the Tar Heel State, who led the 1928 revolt against Smith, and who was ecliminated from further participation in tate politics last Spring in the Democratic primary election. Mec- Ninch's Democracy is challenged by Democrats in the Senate, and Republican Senators like Couzens and Norris are likewise inclined to look upon his nomination with suspicion if not actual disfavor. The delay over McNinch will not affect the organization of the new Commission. Under the terms of the I creating it, as soon as three members are confirmed they can proceed With organization and function as if the personnel were complete. HOW TO KEEP W R]'l laR\ AT HOME. Canada, after years of seeing some of its most prominent writers of fiction and fact articles wander | away to New York and other cent of American magazine publications, believes it sees a way to put an end to this practice. The reason most of these Canadian authors leave home is not because they prefer to live in New York, Chicago or some other city of the United es. Who willingly would exchange the wonder Canada for the racket- eering lands of the 1 great American cities? What man would voluntarily desert the ium } fields of wet Canada for the great American | desert? But because find their most profitable mar- kets in the United States, Canadian writers find it more convenient to reside where they can keep I» close contact with it. The American magazines, j0 Canada thinks, can afford to pay more for stories and articles than the Canadia: because they have a greater advertising clientile. It is now proposed to make the Americal wiblishers pay for enticing Canadian writers «vov from home To do so, a tax o: ertising in American magazines crossing the L on’s boundary is de-! cifect, will be a pro- of the more popular riously advocated. This hibition against the sale the magazines published in the United States. There are least a half ¢ publications of this class each of which has a larger circulation than any Canadian magazine. American products are afforded Dominion-wide circulation in the field without a cent being spent in the Dominion It is believed the advertising tax would either maga the s or irregularity | force American publishers to establish Canadian branches | to whom even a friends and loved ones are denied Anchorage, Alaska. | Blindness is one ce was.
