Speech of Howard D. Hadley Before County Press Assoc­iation—State Should De­

velop This Power.

He Shows That Canada la Par Ahead of This Country in Power Develop­ment Where the Matter is in the Hands of Hydro-Electric Commis­sion.

Canton, Feb. 8.—The meeting of the Northern New York Press Association held in this village last week brought out many interesting papers and de­veloped much helpful discussion.

Howard D. lludley of Pittsburgh, N. Y., President of the Plattsburgh Chamber of Commerce, addressed the meeting on the subject of the "State Development of the Long Sault and other undeveloped water powers own­ed by the State." '

Mr. Hadley said In part as follows: "When once tlte people of northern

New York realize that the water-pow­ers of this state are worth over $600,-000,000 and will soon surpass In value what is at present the greatest asset of the Empire State, namely Its farm lands valued at $700,000,000 and when the vitally Important fact is firmly fixed in the minds of all that our water-powers--unlike Pennsylvania's coal mines,—are inexhaustible as long as water continues to flow down hill,—it will be unnecessary for anyone to pile up arguments to prove that the wise and speedy development of water-powers is the most important economic question ever brought to the attention of the sturdy p'oneering inhabitants of this great Nortl. Country.

The State Constitutional Convention which meets next April (in less than three months) will probably settle the state's water-powers development poli­cy for a period of at least twenty years and possibly for a much longer time. Therefore, If you have ideas, prepare to sited them now! If we want to see Northern New York's water-powers de­velop for OUR OWN HKNKFIT we must bestir ourselves at once and keep at it to the end!

1 come to you today with Just throe main objects in view:—1. To impress on tlte people of Northern New York through tlie great agency of its able newspapers the paramount importance of tlte prompt and wise development of our water powers. 2. To point o;tt tho vital neeossity for prompt, full, free, fair, clear-headed, friendly, cour­ageous, vigorous and continuous dis­cussion of" tltis great question in your .valuable papers and elsewhere.

3. To set forth a plan for the own­ership, development and operation by tlte State of the Long Sault and other undeveloped state owned water powers of Northern New York.

T shall not belittle tho intelligence of the owners, editors and readers of the newspapers of Northern New *ork by touching on the first and second prop­ositions except to ask If It is not true that thousands of people in tills Con­gressional District have never heard of the hong Sault Rapids,—tons of thousands have no idea wltore they are, while not one person In a hundred seems to have a fair idea of the stag­gering possibilities bound up in tlte development of this 2,000,000 of horse­power!

As to tho proper, wise and fair way to develop tltis power, people have in the past disagreed. But to me there seems only ono sensible, practical course, 1. e., stute ownership, state de­velopment, Btate operation and state distribution (in cooperutlon with the counties, towns, cities and villages of Northern New York) of the hydro-el­ectric power at the Jxmg Sault, FOR TI1K HKNKF1T OF THK PKOPLK OP THK R10G1ON IN WHICH THKSE NORTHERN NliW YORK WATKR-POWKRS ARK LOCAT101). 1 am un­alterably opposed to any plan of oper­ation (private of state) which even LOOKS toward tho diverting of the benefits of our natural resources away from this section WHKRE THEY BE­LONG, to other and more favored sec­tions of the state, where they do NOT belong.

Ho you realize fully that this prop­osition is on© that goes straight to the roots of human existence? Can the big cities ever repay tlte rural regions for their best brain and brawn drawn from the congested centers from the for­ests and farms? If so, why not start by aiding Northern New York to get the benefit of its waterpowers? Is It not a fact that on the fair, wise, far-sighted solution of this question hangs the fundamental question of allowing thlB state to steal from the farmers, the laborlug men and the business men (including tlie owners of newspapers) of Northern New York,—in order to fill the overflowing pockets of the wealthy landlords of the city of New York (with a population of already more than twice as large as any city ought ever to have),—and the other big congested centers of population In the state?

Only two arguments have been ad­vanced, so far as I know, and they have been advanced very timidly,— against my proposition.

One is that Governor Hughes,— whoso position in 1907 is now relied on by those interests and individuals who fought him tooth and nail for the four years of his governorship,—sign­ed the law which undertook to turn the Long Sault rapids over to tlie Al­uminum Company of America.

The other is that Canada which owns part of the Long Sault rapids can nev­er lie persuaded to Join New York in developing them. .

Governor Hughes first vetoed and then reluctantly signed the act,—which Jater on In 1913 was declared uncon­stitutional by the Court of Appeals,— on May 23, 1907, when the possibilities of hydroelectric development In this state were Just coming to be partly realized by a few. Indeed they are hardly even In the childhood stage even now! I, for one, thought at the time ho had made a good bargain. It was the first time the state had ever receiv­ed remuneration for such a grant and it marked a decided step forward. At that time, of course, eight years, ago, few dreamed of the actual value of the state's share in the Long Sault. More­over, It was not until three years of more after this grant, (In 1911, I be­lieve) that it was pointed out that the act of 1907 was unconstitutional bo-cause, among other reasons, the Long Sault rapids were a part of the state foreBt preserve, and therefore under section 7 of Article VII of the State Constitution, they could not be leased, nor exchanged, nor taken by any cor­poration, public or private.

For the past four years, therefore, since this point was brought out, It has seemed clear to me, and I have con­tended strenuously that it was simply wasting time to talk about turning over the Long Sault rapids to the Aluminum Company or any other private interest! It cannot be done under the PRESENT constitution. It never should be done under ANY constitution!

Governor Hughes, like all other wise, forward-looking men, learned much about hydroelectric possibilities In the years 1907, 1908, 1909 and 1910 for in his message to the Legislature In 1910 he said, in recommending the sub­ject of tlte development of our water* powers to the legislature:—

FIRST,—that on streams having their headwaters within the boundaries of the forest parks, all plans of regu­lation or power development should be executed ONLY BY THE STATE, AND ALL RESERVOIRS AND THEIR APPURTENANCES AND THE 1M-POUNDED WATERS SHOULD BE THE PROPERTY OF THE STATE AND UNDER EXCLUSIVE STATE CONTROL AND NOT PERMITTED TO PASS INTO PRIVATE HANDS."

SECOND,—with respect to any other streams flowing through any public or reservoir of the state (as the St. I^awrence Hows through the state for- j est preserve at the Long Sault rapids) , "that development of these water- ,

powers SHOULD LIKEWISE BE EX-. ECUTED BY THE STATE AND IT, SHOULD RETAIN EXCLUSIVE OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL IN ORDER ADEQUATELY TO SAFE­GUARD THE STATES INTERESTS."

But it is said that Canada will not Join New York 8tnte in developing the Long Sault: that it must be done by private intrests or not at all.

Nothing could be farther from tlte truth!

The Providence of Canada for more than ten years has been building its Rtate hydroelectric system and so sat­isfactory is it that it is being extend­ed rapidly. Plans are even now under way for a state trolley system in con­nection with it. The proof of the pud­ding is in tlie eating. Tlte Providence of Ontario has been feeing for ten years on state development and distri­bution of hydro-electric power and she Is crying; for more! Ontario Is ten years or more ahead of us and Is wait­ing for New York to Join her in the ' development of the Long Sault!

There is no indication that Canada has any thought of turning over her share of the Long Sault rapids power to the Aluminum Company or any oth­er private interest. The Commission of Conservation of Canada composed of thirty-one of the most eminent and representative men of the Dominion, Hon. Clifford Sift on, Chairman, after years of study, made on July 24, 1913, an exhaustive report on Ute subject of the Long Sault power development. The report seems to have been unani­mous. Their final conclusions woro that "the present proposition (that of the Aluminum Company) contemplates giving away this valuable asset, with- , out any substantial consideration, to a foreign company for its private finan­cial advantage.

And then the report closes with this sentence printed in Italics:—"THE OBVIOUS CONCLUSION FROM THE FACTS ABOVE RECITED SEEMS

TO BE THAT THE PLAIN DUTY OF i CANADA IS TO MAINTAIN HER RIGHTS OF OWNERSHIP AND JUR-1 1SD1CTION ABSOLUTELY UNIM­PAIRED AND UNTRAMMELLED."

Finally, tho attitude of Canada was set forth only tills past week at the annual meeting of the Canadian Soci­ety of Civil Engineers in Montreal when M. J. Butler, C. M. O., retiring president of the society and one of the greatest engineering authorities on this continent, In his annual address, after pointing out that the enlargement of the Welland Canal, was nearly com­pleted, will allow tho larger type of Bhip of 300,000 bushels capacity to pass down Lake Ontario and the river St. Lawrence to within 120 miles of Mon­treal, i.e., to PreBcott, Ont, where great storage elevators will be erected to handle the grain coming from the west, touched upon the future of the Long Sault and other rapids of the St. Law­rence river.

President Butler spoke aa follows: "Ultimately, however, the larger lako

ships will come through to Montreal, as it is quite practicable, and within the resources of the country, to con­vert the St. Lawrence river into slack water navigation by the building of j eight dams, with duplicate locks and I as an incident thereof develop the greatest water-power In the world ag­gregating over 4.000.0UU norso power, eliminate the Ice jams, and make prac­ticable the navigation of the river In

nter by the aid of powerful ice­breakers."

No, my good friends, no private in* terest will ever be allowed to take over

and develop the. Long Bault rapids! That day, fortunately, has passed for-ever! They will soon be developed by the state of New York and the Prov­ince of Ontario Jointly.

The all Important question and- the ONLY question which we need to am swer now is tltis:

"Are we here in Northern New York to unite and demand as with one voice that tlte power from the Long Sault be used to build up tho region in which it is located, or are we, through inertia and short-sighted selfishness, to let this golden opportunity slip through our nerveless fingers to bo eagerly grasped by the outstretched hands of wiser communities llko Syracuse and New York City?

To 'sum up, then, my claim la that we, here In Northern New York are entitled to have tho state develop tho Long Sault and other state-owned wat­er-powers like the High Falls of Bar-anac river which ought to be owned and will be owned at no far distant day by tho state. Divine Providence sends the rain which falls on the moun­tains and hills and flows back to the sea. The cities on the Great Lakes and on other navigable lakes and streams like the Hudson river make use of this water as navigation, and the nation and the state of New York have spent hundreds of mlllons of dollars in building and maintaining harbors and channels and canals by means of which these great cities have been In great part built up to such great size and wealth but the POWER derived from the falling of this water as it tumbles down our hills and moun­tains on its way to the sea should be developed by the state of New York for the benefit of the people IN THE REGION WHERE THE WATER FALLS ARE LOCATED, and this hy­dro-electric power developed in North­ern New Yoik should not be diverted from this locality WHERE IT BE­LONGS to other and more favored sec*

tlons of the state which have already, years ago, had their natural advan­tages developed at the expense of the entire state! Therefore, I claim that the state of New York should Join with Canada and develop and build the dams and power-houses, and operate this Long Sault water-power on the St. I^awrence and distribute Uie elec­tricity around to every village, town and farmhouse in this part of the state at cost for the benefit of all the people of this region,

Buffalo, Syracuse and New York City are clamoring for Northern New York to help dig up $27,000,000 more to complete the Erie canal for their benefit.

I I suggest that we In Northern New York would do well to And out first whether or not these and other places along the Erie canal are ready to help Northern New York get $27,000,000 or whatever ig needed, to develop the Long Sault for OUR benefit. Turn about is fair play.

Every man, woman and child in Northern New York can help in thi» matter.
