Newspaper Page TextTHE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. FRIDAY," MAY 21, 1915. VESTERN GOVERNORS NEARLY ALL FAVOR VATERPOWEH BILL Ferns Measure Declared to Be Step in Right Direction . by Conferees at Seattle SECRETARY TELLS PLAN line's Zda Tm to Open TXp BtonitM ty Permit System Bo u to 0 cur Development Honey. Governors of the western states, with two exceptions, expressed fullest sympathy with the plan of Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane for government ' control of water powers under "; the - sofcalled Ferris bill, ac cording to the' declaration of ex-Governor Oswald "West of Oregoa, who re turned today from the governors con ference at Seattle. "The v papers read and the discus sions hal developed the fact that most of the matters complained of were the result of existing conditions," Bald West, "and it was the sentiment of the majority of those j. attending the conference that the Ferris bill, fath ered ,by Secretary Lane, was a step In the right direction. "It was believed by most of the governors that the measure will re move many of the obstacles which now stand in the way of the develop ment of the water power possibilities of the west and that greater progress towards unlocking and developing our resources can be made by following a 'role of reason' and working shoulder to shoulder with Secretary Lane, who was proving himself a friend of the west, than, by continuing a campaign of opposition ' and obstruction. Matter In Abeyance. "It was decided to hold the whole matter in abeyance until in adjourned ' session cf this conference, which will be held in Portland next September." Governor "West said as a matter of fact only Governor Carlson of Colo rado and Governor Spry of Utah ex pressed opposition to the bill, their opposition being not eo much to the : advantage- of the west as to the prin ciple that the states rather than the federal . government should have con trol and that' the power companies .should not be restricted. Governor West took to the confer- " ence a message from Secretary Laner who urged the governors to consider the need of the west from the Broad est possible viewpoint. Secretary lane's Massage. "Secretary Lane says in hia mes sage: v.- "The government bas. spent $100, 000,000 in reclamation throughout the west. It wiB take $35,000,000 or $40, t)0t,000 more" to complete the projects already undertaken. Under the new 20 . year extension law, and under the rate of income from land sales, it will take 20 years to raise the-amount neces sary. to complete these projects. We manifestly need an- addition to the reclamation fund. , 4astern Washington, eastern , Ore Bjon, southern Idaho, Utah, Arizona, N Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming ;and Montana have large tracts-; which should be developed" iand which never can be developed excepting under ir rigation. Where is the necessary money to come from? , i "I have repeatedly said that the xnoney hat comes out of western re sources ought to be used" in the de velopment of the west. In accordance with this thought I have tried to He cure the passage of legislation that would do two things open our west ern resources to ' immediate develop ment and secure out of this develop ment money , with which the west can be developed by new reclamation projects.. We have no law under which capital will i undertake to develop hydro-electric power 'apon 'government . land because no one has power ;to -grant a permit for --he use of these lands excepting one that is revokable at the pleasure of the secretary of the interior. Capital Sot Unreasonable. This is not satisfactory to capital and capital is not unreasonable- in demanding, that a permit shall be granted for a fixed term. Therefore, I have urged that the permit be made for CO years. But I will not agree that the people, of the country and of the states , and of the municipalities shall no, nave another chance to de termine what is a wise policy to pur sue with . respect to the development of hydro-electric power. Accordingly, I have urged that at the end of 60 years the government shall have the right to renew the permit, or that the states' or the municipalities, or the federal . government shall have Vie right to take over the plants by pay ing the fair Value of the physical property. No one can tell what the -value ofra great' dam site will be 60 years from now. During the , early years of such' a! permit the revenues of the - government from such lands should be " practically 'nothing and what revenues come later should go into the reclamation fund. "I have : also urged that our oil lands should be i developed under . the leasing system. I If the oil developed from government lands in the last 15 years had paid a - royalty to the gov ernment instead f of to the men j.who took the land up for nothing, it has been estimated by oil men that we would have" had, a royalty of more than $60,000,000, one-half of which could have gone into reclamation work and the other half Into -the state where the oil was discovered, for good roads and schools. j Suggestions in Two Bills. :. "In tho northwest, where lands are cultivated intensively, we need to de velop ret tiltzer nitrate which we can get from the air by electricity, and phosphates which we can get out of oar own soil in Montana, Idaho and other states. There is no law now under which phosphate land can be taken up and put into service. Why should this, be? ! The same is true of potash, of which we know of? some very small deposits only. As to coal, the plan is to leave :he present pur chasing law, but to enact a leasing law under which a man, instead of paying a large price down for coal land, can pay a ; small royalty out of the coal as it is produced and use his capital for development. And all these funds are to go into our reclamation fund, and be divided . with the -states. "The suggestions riven above are embodied in two bills known as the water power bill and the general leas ing bill. These, as you know, have passed the house and the senate com mittee. They have the Indorsement of the administration. It is not pos sible to turn over the government lands to the states. . Everyone here concedes this. The program outlined is One that can' be rassed, and that will be of immeasurable value to the west.". Three.
