les of this state for use outside

the terms of this act"
Regardless of legal viewpoints as
to state or federal jurisdiction of
the law of Montana. AS chief exec
utive it is my duty to see to it that it
is adhered to and believe it is a good
lava law that is just, a law that
protects the welfare of the people
of Montana. This law is workable.
This law does not place in a position
of being arbitrary or selfish because
it gives US a right to permit other
states to use our waters after we
have saved enough of these waters
for the use of the people of the State
of Montana. This statute presents
an orderly and democratic method of
handling water situations which we
face in 1850 and for the future years.
AS far as l can ascertain, the history
of Montana will show that this stat
ute has always been adhered to, as,
for example, the creation of the yell
lowstone River Compact Commits
sion. In adhering to the statute, two
courses must be followed: the enter
ing into of compacts and if such can
not be attained, a resort to litigation
which will determine jurisdiction.

none of us should come out against
