the water why should IL not own the
land also? All these lands, with coal
and mineral and other deposits should
be turned over TO the states, which
alone have the power to take and to
regulate the industries that may re-

MANY water powers In our terri
tory, including a large number along
the Snake river, have been withdrawn
by the government recently, and the
result today is that numerous projects
to establish manufactures are held
up. Capitalists and owners of fac
