gation, from each delegation at- ile
conference.
Desnite Governor Lister's stand, three
of the four other members of the Wash
ington delegation stood firmly for the
principle of state control and voted tor
the resolution.
Even the Montana delegation was not
eolid behind the minority leadership of
Senator Walsh in benali of federal
control. Two members stood with him,
hut the other, J. B. Coilins, of Miles
City, supported the resolution.
IVorth Dakota Divided.
The North Dakota delegation of two
stood one for federal and the other for
state control.
A. 12. Chandler, the lone California
delegate, who voted against the l evolu
tions, did not take an unequivocal stand
in that position, for he took pains in
the debate preceding Its adoption to
say that he did not believe Federal
fixing of rates on water iDver sites
leased by it, on the basis of corse power
told, as provided in the Ferr.s bill, was
constitutional. His attitude apparently
was that the West should taiie ,vhat
ever water power legislation It could
set from Congress.
Walxh Report Drfraiiil.
There was about two hours of debate
preceding the adoption of the resolu
tions, the first part of the sessii-a teing
levoted to hearing the addresses of
United States Senator Clark, of Wyoming-,
and Frank H. Short, of California.
Before they came up for final pass
use, the conference defeated by the
same vote, 28 to 7, the substitution of
Senator Walsh's minority report. This
resolution also was published in The
Oregonian of yesterday.
A second motion by Senator Walsh,
entertained by unanimous consent of
the delegates, to substitute for th
resolutions the preamble of his resolu
tion. to the effect that power sites
should be leased under Federal con
trol for 50-year periods, also was voted
down by the same vote.

such lands, but. on the contrary, that said policy is intended to en
courage and promote the settlement and development thereof; and
that any act of Congress. or any administrative interpreta

the original states, and by discouraging and preventing the settle

Whereas, The vacant land belonging to the Federal Government
constitutes two-thirds of the area of the states represented in this
conference, and amounts to more than twice the area of the 13 orig

This preamble was as follows:
ii is trie opinion of this Congress
that no subject likely to engage the
attention of the National Legislature
at its ensuins session transcends in im
portance that which will deal with the
disposition of power sites on the pub
lic domain. Development is retarded,
if not wholly interrupted, because capi
tal does not find in the existing law the
security to which it is entitled.
"An act framed upon the following
principle would. In the judgment of
this Congress, prove inviting to in
vestors, safeguard the public interests
and be generally acceptable to the peo
ple of the states directly interested,
namely:
Brink Debate Kollona.
"The sites should be leased for a
period of 50 years."
The debate on the resolutions was
brisk. Senator Walsh was the only ad
vocate of Federal control to take part
in the discussion, however, the remarks
of Delegate Chandler, of California, be
ins merely to explain his vote.
In his fight for the substitution of
the minority for the majority report,
i-'enator Walsh took a violent fling at
iue u. jjawson, head of the Colo
rano delegation.

of executive officials for the fixed rules of law governing the ad

the spirit of our Constitution.

"Again it has been charged that this

ations. 1 have already showed yoi
ed you
ui.i mere .ouidn't be any control by
the Government in states that had pub
lic utility commissions to regulate."
A.,ierei rose to white heat when
Clyde C. Dawson took the floor to
n,Te.,;,Swnator Wash's attack on him.
It 111 becomes a representative from
Montana to throw any rocks at the
people of Colorado, for the troubles
they have had were brought on by the
same class of people who have made
troubles in Montana," he declared.
He leaned o-'er until he was looking
Senator Walsh full 'n the face. "Well
handle our trouble in Colorado if you
will handle yours in Montana, and with
out calling in the Secretary of the In
terior, either.
Yes, it is true the Colorado Fuel &
Iron Company has large coal land hold
ings in our states," he went on with
warmth, "'gut who gave those) lands to
them? The Government, Yet it is a
good thing the Colorado Fuel & Iron
Company has Hie lands, for they have
developed them and the State of Colcri
rado. They hold just one per cent of
the coal lands that are now withdrawn
from any use or development by the
Government.
Power Would Reduce Coal Demand.
"If we could develop our water pow
er resources under a wise administra
tion, we'd have to buy less coal from
the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company, and
would take less of our precious treas
ures, for which the gentleman from
Montana is so solicitious, from the
earth."
Mr. Dawson said an officer of the
company had told him within the last
two months that by its withdrawal and
classification and raising of the price
of coal lands, the Interior Department
had at one stroke of the pen increased
the value of the company's holdings
?2, 000, 000.
un, mats now we protect the peo
ple!" he cried, shaking a long finger
at Senator Walsh. "The people who
have the votes!"
Interest Influence Denied.
"The Senator from Montana has seen
fit to violate the confidence of the reso
lutions committee," he continued, "so
I will tell something else that hap
pened in the committee. He didn't tell
you that when Governor Lister voted
for the resolutions of the Senator he
said he did it with a reservation. Tes,
two of them did that."
Mr. Dawson said that no man could
call him a power attorney. "I have
lived in Colorado 40 years." he declared
with fervor, "and no one can say that
in all that time I have ever tied myself
up with any interests.
"And in preparing these resolutions
I had the assistance of Senator Smoot;
of Mr. Bailey, of ,SaIt Lake City, and
of the best-informed men. And I want
to say that they are constructive. They
call for a declaratory act by Congress
recognizing that it holds only a pro
prietary right to the lands in the states,
and recognizing the principle of state
control so that development can take
place."
Elsplonaare System Condemned.
He spoke of the system of "espionage"
to wnicn the Western states are sub
jected by the Federal departments. "Oh,
we are an outlaws out nere. be cried.
"And whenever you put the power sites
under control of the Federal Govern
ment you add to that system of espion
age which is held over us out here.
I have always found Secretary Lane
ana ivir. laiiman courteous gentlemen.
I am not objecting to any man. but to
the system which reduces to vassalage
tne western public lands states."
Another speaker was Senator Clark
or Wyoming. "I am glad the minority
report has been presented," began the
oenator, oecause in it more clearlv
and succinctly than in the Ferris bin
its many iniquities are presented."
Subservience Called Worst Foe.
"It does indulge the bone at least.
that the power development of our re
sources shall be carried on under the
strong arm of the United States. It
says in set terms that if the state of
Washington, or Oregon or Montana, has
no comm.sion to fix rates, that whether
they want it or not. there shall be
imposed on them some official to ex
ercise that power.
"There is a worse thing than war. 1
would rather our Nation were des
troyed by bullets from without than
by truckling subservience from within.
If our Nation must be destroyed, let's
pray God it comes from without and
not from within.
"We are warned by the Senator from
Montana, and he is one of the leaders
for the Administration and knows, that
no bill that does not embody these
principles will be passed by Congress.
I will go further and voice my fear
that the Ferris bill, or some other like
it. will be passed by Congress, but not
by omy vote. The time is far distant
when I would surrender the sovereign
power of the states. j
No man knows - the delights and I
