California haa "nothitifr aprainst the (food people of Idaho and Oregon," but Californians can rejoice that "thev do not have to pay part of their light and power bills," says the Los Angeles Times in a recent ed itorial. The Los Anpeles newspaper was commenting; on the f.-iilm-n of thn Hells f'anvon bill to train approval in Con gress and, in answer to claims that the federal project would provide cheaper power tor Kiano ami ureKn, ".v "this cheaper power would have been a gift from their fel low taxpayers." The project was analyzed as follows: Tho Hells Canyon ichama, which Sanaton Morse, Neubtrger, at al., fay thay daviiad to atop a "giveaway" of tha paopla'i re sources," ti actually a giveaway of taxpayari' monay for tha political banafit of Senator Mono (D) Ore., and a couple of Con gressional candidates in Oregon. Tha scherne, which was defeated In the Senate by a SHI roll call vote, was to authorize a $485,000,000 federal high dam at Hells Canyon, the slot which the Snake River has cut for our use between Oregon and Idaho. Senator Morse says this federal power site was a precious natural resource," which is being turned over to private capital for exploitation. But if It was such a resource, why did not the public power advocates get If recogniied as such all during the Truman administration? In seven years they were never able to convince mainly Democratic congresses mar ir was pr. Rate Subsidy Charged The Los Angeles Times points out that the Federal Power Commission held exhaustive hearings and then de cided that the best way to develop the project was by a series of three dams, as proposed by the Idaho Power com pany at a cost of $133,000,000, "none of which will come from the taxpayers." Opposed to this private development, it is pointed out in the editorial, the federal high dam would have cost $485, 000,000, or more, as federal projects always cost more than estimates, and the entire cost would fall upon taxpayers. California's share in the development would have been ap proximately $43,000,000, the Times reports. And "what would the States of Oregon and Idaho get?," the Times asks. It gives as an answer: For one thing, somewhat cheaper power for the reason that tha federal project would have paid no state or federal taxes whereas the Idaho Power company will pay both. Senator Morse says the Idaho Power company would have passed the taxes on to Its ratepayers, a statement somewhat inconsistent with the usual "liberal line" that the "liberals" would make tha corporations pay the taxes. However, why should Morse try to be consistent? The "liberals" have bean get ting away with this reverse line of talk for years, and it it nrnhnhlv aaod for mora elections. The California paper then declares that the cheaper power would "have been a gift from, their lellow taxpay ers." Delays Are Cited It is pointed out also that "the people of Idaho and Oregon would have paid a price for this cheap power too the price of having some part of their local affairs run by a bureau in Washington." The Times summarizes: This is a real victory for the people against the Socialiiers; a victory of the taxpayers against those who, like Senator Morse, would give their money away The people of Idaho and Oregon need power. For their failure to get it long since, they have such busybodies and public power fanatics as Senator Morse to thank; for the politicians have delayed the Hells Canyon pro jects for years. Public power will ,be dragged into the forthcoming campaign in Oregon as one of the chief issues. Republi cans will be accused of innumerable giveaways of public natural resources. Rut the sentiment, expressed by the Los Angeles Times is not isolated opinion. Taxpayers in other parts of the country are getting tired of subsidizing power development in the Pacific Northwest. Particularly do they object when private capital is available. Oiogonians should realize that the public power advo cates, who contend that power generation should be the ex clusive province of the federal government, are obstruc tionists to a needed and obtainable development without taxpayer cost.

This is all a manifestation of a difference of concepts. Union lead ers tend to equate unions and all laboring men, although union mem bership is a statistical minority of labor, the iMsenhower administra tion has a broader concept of. labor and acts accordingly, although to many union leaders this is regard ed as anti-union. The record shows that the ad ministration has dealt wilh unions and respected many of their de mands. But it has not dealt with them exclusively. When Eisenhower first formed his cabinet he chose a labor execu tive. Martin P. Durkin, as his labor secretary a selection pronounced "incredible' by the late Sen. Rob ert A. Taft, co-author of the Taft Hartley act which labor opposes. This gesture toward the unions soured in seven months.

After appointments changed a majority of its mem bership, the board limited its jur isdiction over disputes, leaving thousands of employers and em ployes without the protection arm restraints of the labor act. This would seem to cut both ways, but it is the unions that are crying foul. The board's interpretation of free speech has been broadened. Thus an employer, hoping to fend off a union invasion, has more freedom to talk to his workers without having an unfair labor practice complaint lodged against him with the NLRB. Unions have won many NLRB decisions, but it is clear that man agement is now more comfortable with this board than it ever had been. No board has ever been free of criticism from one side or an other. Until recent years, it came irom management, now from la bor.

Adlai Checks On 'Give-A ways' Of Republicans By JOHN CHADWICK PORTLAND (A Adlai Steven son and Sen. Esles Kefauver fired away at what they called the Eisenhower administration s "give away of natural resources after landing here on a whirlwind politi cal tour. The Democratic presidential and vice presidential candidates flew in here after a four-huur trip from Albuquerque, N.M., for a session with party leaders from the five Northwest states. Stevenson, addressing a crowd at the Portland airport, said he had come here in part "t check on the Republican give-aways of our naiurai resources. He said he was going to drive up to Bonneville Dam to "see if it is still there." Both Stevenson and Kefauver beat drums for the re-election of Sens. Wayne Morse of Oregon and Warren Magnuson of Washine'.on telling the crowd that they hope noiti men would be returned to the Senate. Stevenson also said that in the election campaign in the North west this year an issue would be settled that "we thought had boen settled 50 years ago." 'This," he said, "is whether the nation's great natural resources are to be conserved and developed for all or are to be given away to a favored few." Morse introduced Stevenson and Kefauver to the airport crowd as the next president and vice presi dent of the United States. Kefauver urged all of his friends in the slate to support the Demo cratic ticket and said that "Adlai Stevenson is fighting for a new America."

Above all, he has won the un qualified approval of his great chief. President Eisenhower. And in this convention that has justl adjourned the support that wonl' . . n ,. L'om - him UNANIMOUS renomination was not synthetic. It was GENU INE. It wasn't just a deal among the delegates. The crowds were with him. Their applause told that rather clearly. Yet it caVt be denied that he is a controversial figure. Why? The answer is ail the more dif ficult to find because those who say they are apposed to him so seldom have a definite reason for their opposition. They are vague about it. For example: Chatting at breakfast one morn ing with the waitress a pleas ant middle-aged woman with gray ing hair I started off with the usual bromide: "How did you like the convention?" "Oh," she said with unmistak able enthusiasm, "Isn't Eisenhow er wonderful? I just love him. But that Nixon I can't stand him!" "Why not? ' I queried. . As so many anti-Nixonites do, she hesitated. "Well," she finally said, "he's so cocksure of him self." "That." I said, "doesn't sound to me like a very good reason. The vice-president of the United States can t be wishy-washy. When he acts, he MUST be sure of him self." She pondered a moment, as if searching her own mind. "Well." she finally said, "I suppose my real reason is that the Democrats tell us working people we must vote for Democrats because they are our friends and the Republi cans are our enemies. But I'm go ing to vote for President Eisen hower anyway. I love him. 1 have faith in him. He's a good man. But I don't know about Nixon. They say he's against us working peo ple." 1 oner me incident ior wnai u may be worth. What of Stassen? What was he up to? I wouldn't know. And I wouldn't go so far as to say he was wrong in what he did. This is a free country. Any man has a right to do as he pleases within the limits of the rights of others. He had a perfect right to oppose Nixon. But at this convention his popularity nose-dived because of the way he handled himself. When he saw the error of his way and withdrew his opposition and asked to be allowed to second Nixon's nomination, his request was granted. If he had got up and laughed and said he knew when he was licked and was happy to make it unanimous, he would have been received back into the fold with enthusiasm. Instead, he took one minute to make his seconding statement and 19 minutes to de fend himself unconvincingly for what he had done. That cooked his goose.

Outside the limit of Oregon waters on the coast it is a God-given right that you should be able to keep every thing that you can catch. But the Game Commission, with enforce ment by the- State Police, seems to think otherwise, as their record of so-called violations mounts each week. Who are they conserving those fish for, the people of California or the people of Washington, who have a higher bag limit than we do in Oregon? A fine testimony for the two-fish bag limit to be brought into the State of Oregon are the dead small salmon caught at sea and then dis carded because a larger fish was caught. Punching cards for ocean caught salmon certainly doesn't help the records tell which streams and rivers are fished the heaviest. 1 fish the coast four or five times a year and on some trips come back with nothing and on others am allowed two salmon only when I could have brought in three or four. If I have to buy a commer cial license to get my fish, in le gally, I certainly will, unless the Oregon Game Commission can real ize that the fish in the ocean are not fed nor controlled by them, and that they belong to anybody who can catch them.
