Water Power
Development
Up to Board

Interest in water power develop
ment in this country now centerf
around the policy which the commis-
sion created by the recently enacted
federal water power bill. will adopt
in carrying out the provisions Of the
bill, according to Percy L. Cupper,
state engineer.
II the commission or the principal
executive officers OF the commission
takes the ultra conservative view Of
the situation it is probable that the
development Of power will be un-
necessarily retarded. Cupper declares
On the other hand, he insists. the
promiscuous granting Of permits to
develop power to anyone regardless
OF his ability or intention to develop
the same would result only In the
exploitation of this valuable resource
Oregon, Cupper points out. has
within its borders approximately A.
900. 900 hydro-efectric horsepower Of
which less than 100000 horse power
has as Yet been developed.
Oregon Is interested in having her
water power developed and, we feel
that permits for the use Of water nr
for the use of public lands In connec-
tion Herewith should be granted on
ly to those who not only intend to
develop the same but who have the
ability to do so,' he states. '"The re-
Gently enacted water power bill linn
its the franchise to a period Of time
and 1t is within the province of the
public service commission in practic-
ally all cases to fix the rate within
the limitations. Every encouragement
should be given to the development
of this important and apparently in
exhaustlble national resource, the use
of which does not destroy It,"
The future of water power develop
ment in the United States will be
considered at a convention of the

Antipatll.y
to japanese
Due to Race
iDayey Reports Division
!, ofSentiment IN Oregon
Farmers and Labor
Opposed to Orientals

There is a marked division OF
sentiment throughout Oregon
on the Japanese question sub
.mitted to Governor Olcott by
frank Davey, special, agent EN-
,ployed to gather data on the
jap situation for the executive
office.
Probably majority of the people
deprcate and oppose Japanese settle
..ment but some are reticent on the sub
/ ject not desiring to arouse japanese
"A goodly number excuseyy, aiaaandtn1
resentment, Davey's report declares A
soodly number excuse or favor the
Japanese saying that SO long as our
american people will not work the
s,land it is better to have some one pro
ducing the things that are needed than
10 have the land lie idle and the con-
sumers go hungry
Among merchants, bankers and COP
seryative business men, Davey'ss re.
,port continues, there is strong spirit
oftoleration toward the Japanese and
a belief that there is no particular
menace to our interests or our, civiliza-
4ion in the entrance Of a limited mum
Der Of them and Of their participation
In the pursuit of their choice. :
In opposition to this sentiment
Davey found a strong antipathy
against the Japanese among small
farmers, mechanics, laborers and sal
aried classes in general. A large part
of this antipathy, he declares, Is racial
and does not depend upon economic
facts M
Don't Want Japs.
Referring to this spirit Of antipathy
the report says:
an its crude form it is expressed
in the emphatic announcement: We
don't want any d. Japs in this coun-
try at ALL No suggestions, no sup
eiposed benefits of cultivation or in
creased production, no arguments Of
any kind can be produced to mitigate
that verdict. 1t is ineyorable, concsu-
ave and Interchangeable. Those who
give reasons for that verdict say that
the Japanese cannot become a part of
American life, socially or as 1ogicai
citizens, because their lines of thought,
purpose and aspirations are Japanese,
their standards of living are not ours;
their commercial purposes are In the
inteest of Japan and not Of the United
States and their national sympathies
are the same way; their methods are
crafty and deceitful; they are leeches
upon our national body, sucking out
Ais best blood and poisoning the body
upon which it feeds"
At Hood River.
The Japanese question. Davey
found, is more acute in the Hood
River valley than in any other place
in Oregon. There, he states, the white
settlers have organized to combat fur
sther encroachments upon the land by
Japs, the claim being made that unless
the Orientals are checked they will ul-
nstinnately drive the Americans out OF
the valley. Statistics are quoted to
show population of 800 Japanese in
the valley at this time with 1000 acres
owned by Japanese and another 500
acres under lease by them. The report
comments on the fact that there is lit
tie disposition on the part of the Jap
ahese settlersl owaII homo building or
the improvement OF, their property and
quotes sentiment expressed by anti
Japanese settlers Of that section to the
effect that ''the profits of these people
all go to Japan"

Alexander Regulations

(Ketchikan Chronicc)
 Gratifying inded is the that Secretary of Commerce Alexander has made some new regula- tions with view preventing stream fishing in 5oons possible to the industry, provided 1t IS en- forced There little doubt that stream fishing, which includes fishing too close to the mouths or the streams, has been the greatest destructive element known to the fisheries.
 The new Secretary is starting right and because of the keen interest he has shown in the past with regard the fisheries of Alaska while he was Con gressman from Missouri, inland state, the hope is aroused that he will pay particular attention to the great questions presented. And among them IS that of patroling the streams sufficiently to insure the protection which is intended by his order
 It has been matter of common knowledge Tor that the regulations and restrictions as to stream fishing have been fagranty and consistently broken and dsregarded both by fishermen and many packers. And it will be the with Judge Alex lnders regulations unless ample provision is made by his department for policing the streams. In the past endeavors of the Northern representatives of the Bureau of Fisheries have ben hampered and tied because of lack of funds and facilities
 That is the duty of the department, to furnish good for the policing and to pay sufficient money to be able to get representatives of high cal ibre.
 Alaskans generally should and will, it is hoped, cooperate with Secretary Alexander and his assis- ants in enforcing the regulations regarding closed stream fishing. It is the duty of every citizen or other person interested in the welfare of the fisher jes to point out to the officials violations And he regulations to the canneries should be made strong force them to operations for the remainder Of the if they found guilty knowingly violating the law by buying fish caught in streams.
 The start of Secretary Alexander is such to encourage those interested to believe that better things will later, and that greaer safeguards will be thrown around the fisheries

More Roads Needed
(Naldez Miner.)


 Governor Riggs request that the government be tt time when it should be needed if Alaska is to nave enough population within the next few years rank a Territorial possession. The coal, the oil, the timber and the fish have been systematca- ly bottled up taken away from Territorial man lgement, and the result has been that the former large population has dwinded alarmingly.
 The appropriation for roads and trails has been small each year that the four thousand miles un der the supervision of the Alaska Road Commission aas only been scratched over.
 If Alaska could receive appropriation of q half million dollars each year for roads and trails il would have greater effect in increasing our popu lation than any other thing.
 Many good properties are lying dormant because their cannot afford to build trails to them Until Alaska is tapped by trunk roads, connected ID by numerous trails it cannot be settled nor de yeloped, along the littoral. Transportation ;harges too high to be paid by the average set only needs transportation make hundreds of farms where but few exist. The rich Teikhell dis rict would be hive of industry if mine owners could get supplies to the district. The Valdez Creek district the Slate Creek district, the Mineral Creek properties; all await the magic wand of transpor- taton to yield their golden treasures
 The government railway will tap a highly miner alized belt, but ten miles back from the railroad the settler will be badly handicapped if he lived a thousand miles away, unless he can get roads
 Every effort is being made to greater ap- propriations for roads and trails. The Road Com mission has presented needs to Congress, but estimates are pruned to niggardy portion of the amount desired. /
 The richness of this vast domain has been dem onstrated. few decades of generosity by law givers would return the money spent an hundred fold

BOOSTING HOOVER AS AN INDEPEND-
 ENT CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT

of the supporters of Hoover for President playing favorites among the political par ties. They urging both the Democratic and Re publican parties to nominate him. They insist that the present party signify nothing, and that the people are ought to be, far more interested in what their President stands for and the manner ofApan be is than the political party with which he might affiliate.
 To the average citizen who is accustomed to the old way of ,selecting Presidents and Governors and Sheriffs and Justices of the Peace through political parties this sounds like strange propaganda. But it is only proposed apply systems that have been the rule for sometime in many cities and some States to wider field. Many of the cities of the United States actually forbid the participation of political parties ill municipal affairs. That is the rule in Washington, California and other States
 While no State has prohibited political parties from participating in State elections, California has a primary election law which practically has de- stroyed the political parties in that State for any thing except the election of President and Vice President There and in other States the primary election law permits candidate file for the nom ination of any all political parties The result in California in 1918 was that five of the seven candidates for State offices received the nominations of both the Democratic and Republican parties, and Mayor Rclph of San Francisco, who second for the Republican nomination for Governor actually re- ceiYed the Democratic nomination. peculiar little kink in the law, which it is proposed to elim- inate prevented Mayor Rolph from accepting the Democratic nomination because he failed to receive the nomination of the party of which he registered as a member tS i The full effect of the California system was shown in the election of Congressmen in 1918 Rep reseptatiyes Lea, Raker and Ketner, of the First. Scccnd and Eleventh Congressional Districts, all Democrats, received the Republican nominations as we'll as the Democratic Representatives Curry.

 It will also be remembered that Henry Ford was candidate for both the Democratic and Republican Senatorial nominations in Michigan Tn 19lS. He re- ceived the Democratic nomination, and was close second in the fight the Republican nomination.
 Herbert Hoover is exceptionally logical can ddate with which to make this fight against or ganization politics in the United States. No one knows whether he is Democrat or Republican Yet he is a who takes very earnest and very intelligent interest in public questions He has served humanity and America with distinguished ability and everywhere recognized as one Of the greatest men of the world. He is a man of conyic- ton, courage and action and it is believed by those who are supporting him that he would attract to himself the wide-a-wakc people who are thinking more progress and efficiency and construetyeness than they are of the political organizations and their
 illogical and more less indisnguishable boun- dary lines.
