sNAGs FOR BASIN BILL

THE Spokesman-Review is inclined
= to become a bit petulant be-
cause the Columbia Basin bill is
meeting with. rough going in con-
gress. It rather resents the efforts
of senators and representatives OF
Western states other than Washing
ton to hitch on to the Basin bill ap-
preparations for other projects. In
other words the Spokesman-Review is
adhering strictly to its lordly belief
that everybody, everywhere should
get out of the way of the Columbia
Basin band wagon.
What is happening to the Basin
bill is just what was to be expected.
Boosters for the Umatilla rapids pro-
ject, the Columbia river project or
any other project are not going to
sit idly by and see public money ap-
propriated for the Columbia Basin
project and nothing done for their
own pet schemes.
From the start the Spokesman
Review has assumed that attitude
that every reclamation project in the
state should get out Of the Columbia
Basins way and it has now enlarged
its territory and believes every pro-
ject in the nation should stand aside.
The situation which confronts the
Basin bill in congress only emphasi-
zes the wisdom and ACCESSIBILITY of
legislation like the proposed Smith
NcNary bill-legislation which ap-
propriates money for reclamation
program and leaves the selection of
the project to the reclamation SER
vice.
The chances are that the super-ar-
dor Of the Columbia Basin will re-
tard rather than hasten the federal
reclamation of the arid lands of the
state of Washington and the North
west.
