EMERSON HOUGHS POST ARTICLE
ON YELLOWSTONE MAY BE ANSWERED

Emerson Hough, the novelist
who has written SO many fine wes-
tern stories, is the author of an
article lately published in the Sat-
urday Evening Post that has done
considerable to show why the ad-
vocates of reclamation should not
have a hearing and should not Sc
cure action which calls for stor-
age Of some of the water now issu-
ing from the Yellowstone National
park. Mr.. Hough's article on this
subject is rather exhaustive and as
Mr.. Hough has visited the national
park and studied 1t in considerable
detail it looks as If his article had
rather effectively blocked further
hearings on the subject Of storing
water In the park.
The New West magazine asked
Mr.. Trego to write an answer to
the article and he decided that
Emerson Hough knew more about
the matter than he did and he
could not successfully answer with
out going to the park and spend
ing considerable time studying the
matter right on the grounds.
Mrs. Treso said that Mr.. Hough's

Idaho Opposes
Principle of Gov
eminent Ownership

The Idaho public is overwhelm-
ingly opposed to radical govern
ment experiments according to the
results of a QUESTIONABLE on the
subject Of government operation
of industries sent out to the editors
of this and the other states of the
country. OF the so editors who re-
piled, Al or 1920 said that the
citizens of their communities were
opposed to the government going
into business in competition with
its citizens.
The QUESTIONABLE was sent out
by the Press Service Company of
New York City. While the inquiry
was based on the general principle
of government operation, the So
called Muscle Shoals bill now be-
fore Congress was used as con-
crete example. Under this bill gov

SENATOR NUCENT TAKES UNUSUAL STAND
WHEN WATER POWER BILL WAS CONSIDERED

January 18th, 1920, the senate of
the United States had under consid-
Grafton the water power bill. The i'm
portance of this to the west is great.
The bill had been considered section
by section, with care beyond the ordi.
nary. Suddenly the junior senator
from Idaho caused break. He Of
fered the following amendment:
THAT licenses shall be issued with
in any Indian reservation only after
a finding by the commission that the
license will not interfere or be in
consistent with the purpose.for which
the reservation was created or ac-
quired and in case of tribal lands en-
braced within an Indian reservation
which said lands were coded to the
Indians by the United States by
treaty no license shall be authorized
except by and with the consent of
the council of the tribe"
The august body heard the reading
with something of establishment.
Senators Myers and Walsh, both of
Montana, and from state which had
the same interests here as those of
Idaho, asked Mr.. Nugent if they had
gained his meaning aright-did he
wish to confer upon any council or
tribe of Indians the right to veto a
measure dealing with water power
and irrigation? Yes. Mr.. Nugent held
that the ancient treaties with the In
dams were still in force, that they
held first title to the land and should
have the final disposition of any and
all rights thereof. But did not the
Idaho senator recognize that a white
man held no power of veto, even of
delay, over project involving the
welfare of all the people? Yes, but
there was the faith of this govern
ment, which could not be violated
But surely, said Myers, the Idaho SEN
ator must know that congress had
enacted a specific statute covering
just such cases as this, where the
right of eminent domain enters. This
is section 1879, of the revised sta
tutes, which reads in part:
No Indian nation or tribe within
the territory of the United States
shall be acknowledged or recognized
as an Independent nation, tribe or
rower with whom the United States
may contract by treaty.
Followed a half hour amusing to
many, but distressing to an Idahoan.
The Montana senators are of the
same political faith as Nugent, but
that did not prevent their abilities,
which are considerable, from being
used to lay bare the profound ig-
norance of the man who presumably
would have some acquaintance with
the fundamentals of question of
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1920-10-27

position on the matter was not ten
able and that she wanted to see
it answered, making the claim that
storage and reclamation would en-
able US to create thousands of new
and beautiful homes on the Snake
river plains without materially re-
ducing the beauty of anything in
the park. But the season for study
ing matters in the park has just
closed and one must necessarily
wait until next summer before any
further personal investigations
could be made on the grounds.
Congressman Addison T. Smith
and Attorney General Roy l.. Black
took luncheon with the Tregos at
Sagehurst recently and in dis
cussion Of the matter Mr.. Smith
and Mrs. Trego decided that there
was enough material available for
writing an answer to Hough's ar
ticle to show the fallacy Of his po-
sition. Mr.. Smith is going to fur
nish some data from this office at
and Mrs. Trego has
about half promised to compile II
and write an article in answer to
the one already written by Nmer-
son Hough.

During the first year of the cab

ceeds from state land sales were
$2,068,096 more than in 1918, or
seventeen times as much. Sales of
timber were $140,S92 or four times
as much. The amount added to the
endowment funds of the state was
$2,20S,9S9. The earnings there
from were S14I,383 as compared to

import to his state. Here is a sample
consult page 1914, Congressional
Record, for the fuller details, if this
does not bear home the worthiness
of Mr.. Nugent in the matter
Mr.. Walsh. The senator from Idaho
says he knows of no reason why the
Indian should not be treated just
the same as any other people of the
United States. There is abundant
reason for not treating them the
same as the other people and that is
because they are unable to take care
of their own affairs and we are COM
PEELED to constitute ourselves guard
ians over them. You do not consult
an infant concerning the taking of
his property. You do not consult an
insane person concerning the taking
of his property. The guardian speaks
for everybody under his guardian
ship and the congress of the United
States speaks for these Indians.
Which seemingly was the first in
timation of this fact that the great
constitutional lawyer from Idaho had
ever received.
But the debate, or the exposure
perhaps would be better, took on
more serious phase. What was the
real underlying purpose of the
amendment of the Idaho senator?
Assuredly the history of the Indian
proyod +bot xr,bor, tboy woro ovpocod
to the lure of money and other in
ducements they were easy prey for
the INSCRIPTIONS, and did not Mr..
Nugent agree that this vesting of
power, beyond that given any white
man or set Of men, in an Indian
council would lead to corruption?
Why did he seek to retard the de-
velopment of his own state by plac-
ing such barrier as this before
one of its greatest benefits, potenti-
ally. The record of the supreme court
was read for the Idaho senator s. en-
lightment but he averred he still
maintained his position, which was
exactly contrary to that of the court.
Among his colleagues Mr.. Nugent
has established his worth as an ex-
FOUNDER of the laws of the nation,
through this and several similar dis
plays. The people of Idaho have had
but small information as to just what
he has done or said in both he has
been limited. But they might with
reason ask what leads their represen-
tative in the higher branch to esteem
that an Indian has rights beyond that
to empower them to have the destiny
of white man and why did he wish
of this tremendously vital matter of
water within their grasp? What is
the Indian in the woodpile on the
question of possible corruption?

1t must be very aggravating to
Governor Davis to have the agitators
circulating the scarehead articles
saying the state is broke and the
asylums and penitentiary liable to be
closed, while as matter of fact they
have better financial standing than
two years ago.
In the face of it all, Governor
Davis continues on an even temper
and writes this office the following
letter:
"My Dear Mr.. Trego: The state
tax levy next year will be reduced to
approximately three mills, about
what it was before the war. Elm
ination of the direct state highway
levy will take away two mills. In
creased earnings and reduced ex-
penditures of the department will &C
count for the remainder of the reduc-
ton. The responsibility of continu-
ing the state highway program now
rests with the people and not with
the legislature. If the people want
the building of good roads with fed
eral aid to continue they will vote
for the two million dollar highway
bond issue to replace the two mill
tax levied in 1919 and 1920. If not,
they will defeat it. In either event
state Rates will be reduced regardless

The states finances are in better
condition than they were at the be-
ginning of 1919. October 16, 1920
there was $1,334,772 cash in all
funds. At the same time in 1918
there was $297,593 cash on hand.
There is cash now in all funds ex-
cept the highway and general funds.
