National Conservation Congress backs private water power under regulation
The National Conservation Congress endorsed the Shields bill for developing water powers in navigable streams, opposing Pinchot’s call for government ownership. The piece argues for a practical plan enabling private development with safeguards, contrasts Alaska coal policy, and notes railroads cutting liquor service as a sign of changing times. It ends with a Fargo Forum reader query urging local taxpayers to scrutinize taxpayers and contributors.
