"We of the west must depend upon
water power of the west as a source of
light, energy and beat, perhaps," Gov
ernor West said. "The east has its
coal. Upon the plea of- retarding de

further laws affecting water power

can get one that is in the public in

"The war 1ms made it difficult to
concentrate public attention upon thts
important issue, and when I talked
with Secretary of the Interior Frank
lin K. Lane a few days ago he said
he was feeling somewhat discour
aged, and that it' was unfortunate
that a measure of so deep concern to
the people of the west should have to
be overshadowed - by new and unex

afraid that the 'power people -would
take advantage of the situation; and
secure amendments which were against
public interest. ' . . , v

Chapman Gives Aaswer.
He challenged C C. Chapman, a
member of the audience and one who
haa voiced this charge, to show where
the people of Oregon by use of the ini
tiative at general elections ever have
passed a radical measure affecting
investment or industry. . ;
Mr Chapman did not meet the chal

Which headed in an assertion surpris

big interests thrive on regulation and
the little fellows suffer by it." ,
Governor West said that th rail
road commission act was passed by
tha legislature at the Instance" of
Portland business men; that the anti
quated Oregon tax system which gives
corporate Interests a chance to escape

changed by popular vote; that many
