now is trying to prove it's water rights
before the State of California, as
though the Ivanhoe decision had
never been handed down.
Recent sessions of the Congress,
including this one, has witnessed at
tempt after attempt to pass legisla-
ton to give states control over water
within the boundaries, and take it
away from federal government. SEN
ators Barrett and Watkins have in
troduced a number of bills and
amendments to other legislation to
accomplish this, but thus far all have
failed.
The States-righters came nearest
to success through HR 3, introduced
by Rep. Howard Smith of Virginia,
which provided that state laws would
be valid in all fields, even though
there was federal legislation in these
fields and unless there was a clear
conflict between federal and state
law.
HR would affect myriad opera
tions of the federal government under
its constitutional powers including
water development and conservation.
1t would accomplish the same pur-
poses as those specifically spelled out
in various legislation introduced by
Barrett, Rep. Bulge of
Idaho and others.
HR 3 passed the House this session
of Congress, but was not voted on
by the Senate, although bill to curb
the powers of the Supreme Court in
various fields, failed passage by a
single vote.
The interests will be back again
next year to get accomplished legis-
atively that which the Supreme Court
mas in three recent major decisions
defeated. By such legislation as HR 8,
western reactionary legisla-
.ors are wooed on water, Southern
ers on Segregation, and others on
fear of internal Communism, a for
voting combination is ready
made to press for passage of legis-
alton which can wreak havoc on the
powers of the federal government to
egislate, and carry forward programs
treated to strengthen economic and
political democracy in America.

and construct it's two power projects
at Mossyback and Mayfield sites on
the Cowlitz River.
After fisheries interests and the
state fish and game department had
fought in the local and state courts
to prevent Tacoma from proceeding
under authority of it's FPC license,
the city obtained a favorable decision
by the Washington Supreme Court,
and on appeal by the fish and game
commission the 9th Circuit Court of
Appeals in 1853 upheld Tacoma's
right to build the two projects.
There followed in quick order a
Washington Supreme Court restrain
ing order preventing the city's bond
issue temporarily from being con-
sumated, but later it was modified
to allow preliminary construction,
followed by $50 million suit by the
Cowlitz Indians over their alleged
land and other treaty rights which
also lost out last year in the 9th Cir
cult Court of Appeals
Tacoma then devised Skinner
device" costing 81 million. to catch
and pass fish over the dams which
was approved by the U. S. Fish and
Wildlife Service. In 1856, after court
action on the powers of cities to
build dams obstructing navigation,
passage of legislative act permitting
them to do so, killing by single vote
legislation which would have per-
mitted Tacoma to purchase the state
fish hatchery involved, an unsuccess-
full initiative petition to kill the prof.
ect, the State Supreme Court ruled
in February, 1857, that Tacoma could
not condemn state-owned land with
out legislative permission and issued
an order in April for construction to
stop on Mayfield Dam.
Nearly two-thirds of a year after
the city of Tacoma had appealed this
decision to- the U. S. Supreme Court
it handed down it's decision on June
% of this year-a victory for Tacoma
and the constitutional powers of the
federal government over navigable
streams.
The decision, delivered by Justice
Charles E. Whitaker, said that the
'core of the controversy was
whether the license of Tacoma gave
It capacity to act under the federal
license in constructing the project
and delegated to it federal eminent
domain to take, upon payment of
ust compensation, the states fish {

through leg1SlaClOn introduced IN the
Congress, and attempts to establish
interstate compacts for ALLEGATION OF
water among states drained by q
single river system.
Why do these groups want to gain
control of water rights for the states
Simply because they can control state
legislatures, regulatory commissions
and courts more effectively than they
can those of the federal government.
By exerting such control, they can
be assured that whatever is done in
the way of water development, irri-
cation and reclamation, grazing, tim
Der. minerals, or what have you, will
be done for the exclusive benefit of
the special interests.
These robber barons desire to de-
prive the federal government, not
only of ownership of western streams,
but many of it's key powers to regu-
late it's uses by means of licensing
hydro projects through the Federal
Power Commission, and building of
water development projects by the
Army Engineers and Bureau of Recla-
nation. If it is done in the West the
pattern will hold true elsewhere in
the country as well.
But. in three important cases, the
u. S. Supreme Court has struck down
the legal contentious of these inter
ests and have given new strength to
the peoples efforts to develop fully
their resources with the aid of their
central government, and to prevent
monopolization both of hydro power
and land.
THE PELTON DECISION
In the case of the Federal Power
Commission versus the State of Ore
gon in 1854, the highest court denied
a claim by Oregon that it's laws should
override federal statutes relating to
the establishment of power projects
on reserved lands of the federal gov
ernment.
This case turned on a FPC licensed
hydro project at Pelton site which
was to be built by Portland General
Electric Company on the Deschutes
River which was objected to by the
state on the grounds that the project |
with anadromous fish |
runs and the utility had not first OBJ
aimed a state permit to proceed.
Part of the appurtnant land used
'or Pelton was on the Warm Springs
indian reservation and owned by the
FEDERAL government, and the court
'uled that this stream was therefore
lot subject to state law with respect
o FPC licensing of the private prof.
.ct, but under jurisdiction of the fed
raj government.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals
n early 1857 used the same line of
easoning as in the Pelton decision,
vhen in the case of the U. S. versus
Ahtanum Irrigation District, it ruled
hat the state had no power to re-
Iuire Indians to appropriate water
eserved for their lands under state
aw, nor did they have power to dis
ose of such water.

BY JOSEPHINE LOWMAN

Charming women always
have known, through intui-

tenseness and fatigue are
death to attractiveness.
Women who fascinate men
submerge the hecticness of
daily living in their zest for
life and their belief in it.
The result is a comforting,

personality, toward hich
men turn as a sunflower
turns toward the sun.
Fatigue and tenSeness
which are reflected in intol-
erance and sullenness, in
making life more complicated
than it has to be. in a down.
ward trend in facial contour.
more wrinkles than should
be, are all death to happy
living and certainly to TO
nance.
/ want to call to your at
tention two factors in build
ing health and eliminating
fatigue and tenseness. First.
there's Mr.. Sun. This is the
time of year when we begin
to think about sunbathing.
The sun is a great source Of
energy and also one Of the
most reliable sources of vita
min D. Sunbathing and an
outdoor life are of the great
est Importance to everyone,
and especially to the woman
or man who is tired most of
the time.
Another factor in health
and happiness is the atmos-
phere in which we eat.
Ideally. the evening meal
is the lovely time when all Of
the members of the family
gather together. when the
cares Of the day are put
aside. 1t is supposed to be a
time Of good cheer. an oasis
