OREGON TO ASSERT RIGHTS IN COURT Governor Directs Intervening Brief Be Filed in Utah Water-Power Case. ISSUE CLEARLY PRESENTED Attorney-General Will Act in Inter ests of State United States Supreme Tribunal to Deter mine Control Questions. SALEM, Or.. Jan. 26. (Special.) Acting upon the request of Governor Withycombe. Attorney-General Brown announced today that he would file brief on behalf of the state of Oregon as a "friend of the court" in the case of the Beaver River Power Company of Utah against the United States, in which the issue of state or Govern mental control of water power on pub lie lands Is at stake. The case is now on appeal to the United States Supreme Court. In his communication to the Attor ney-General. reauestioK the state s in tervention, the Governor emphasized the vital importance to Oregon that the legal rights of the state be ade quately presented. He called attention to the action of the last Legislature and the recent water power conference held in Portland, whereby it was neia that the controlling interest in water powers was in the state rather than the Government. "In these circumstances, wrote the Governor, "it seems to me proper and fitting that the State of Oregon assert ts rights upon this occasion wnerein for the first time these issues are-to be clearly Dresented to the Supreme Court of the United States, for their final determination Dy tnat Doay. Concerning the Utah cases now on appeal, the executive declared that they present certain fundamental ques tions of constitutional law affecting the State of Utah, and necessarily and to the same degree the sovereign rights of each of the so-called public land states, including the State of Oregon. 'The proper solution of the issues presented upon these appeals Is of di rect interest to each of the public land states," continued the Governor, "and in the hope that the State of Oregon may be of assistance in reaching such Just and proper solution I have re quested you as Attorney-General of the state to apply for permission to file brief as amicus curias in behalf of the State of Oregon. These appeals embrace the follow ing questions, as I understand them: "The broad question of the right of the United States to exercise govern mental or police powers in the public- land states by virtue of its ownership of land therein not used or required for governmental purposes, but held merely in a proprietary capacity. "The right of the United States, by Congressional action or by its execu tive officials, to decide and determine the manner and conditions upon which state waters shall be utilized and de veloped, and. In particular, the manner and conditions under which the right to the use of flowing water in said public-land states shall be applied to public uses, or to prevent such utiliza tion entirely. 'Among the questions raised by these conditions are: The right of the United States to levy and collect a tax upon water rights in the public-land states or upon the use of such water rights for beneficial uses as recognized under the laws of the several public-land states; the right of the United States to exercise a supervisory control over the development and application of the waters of the states to uses recognized as public uses under the laws of such states, and the terms and conditions upon which such beneficial uses shall be administered by the persons or cor porations developing the same under the laws of the states. These appeals present other ques tions of seerious importance, but I have enumerated above certain of the fun damental questions as I understand them." son, who had pleaded guilty to. a charge of larceny in a store, was sentenced to serve a term of from one to seven years in the Penitentiary and then paroled on condition that he report to the parole officer in Salem once each month and support his mother.
