Oregonians Can't
Vote On Big Dams
SALEM W Oregon can't have
an initiative measure to a;k the
people how they want Hell's Can
yon developed, Atty. Gen. Robert
Y. Thornton ruled Wednesday.
The opinion was asked by Sen.
Richard L. Neuberger, Portland,
who wants to circulate an initiative
to find out if the people of Oregon
want the federal government to
build Hell's Canyon Dam, or if they
want Idaho Power Company to
build its three proposed dams.
Thornton ruled such an initiative
would be illegal. He quoted the
Constitution to the effect that initi
ative measures are to make laws,
and that such an initiative as pro
posed by Neuberger would not be
for the purpose of making a law.
