PAGE TWO 0 RECORD Liljequist Avers State has - Not Power to Approve Company Request (Continued from pas 1-) frrtm th Inriadirtion of the Com mission ijntll the 1305 law was complied with. He attacked the waiver clause In the application hy which the company presumed to nrotect fnture us of the wa ters for Irrigation, by declaring that the company was on record as denying the validity of such warren and that it contained Jokers dangerous to the use of the water for Irrigation. Going into the history of the old deal.tn 1917 by which the power company obtained canaxs and power sites on Link river -arhii'h hai nrpsnmafilv been re ferred for the benefit of the set tlers, Liljequist declared the rea eral reclamation service had vio lated the trust on the basis of which the 1905 acts were passed by the Oregon legislature, ceding land about lower Klamath lake to the government and all the waters of upper Klamath lake to the government. imnrinr th state and the dis trict, the reclamation service en tered into a contract oy-wmcn the power company was made the agent of the federal govern ment for the development of the pewer; U sold valuable proper ties to the power company for a Bum one-sixth of what it repre sented to the irrigation district 'their value was, and on terms of $5,000 down and the balance tn ten years. JLy making the deal in the form of a contract the power company could not be attacked la court because of the old inhi bition against suing the United States government. For 13 years the Irrigation district has sought .to get the right by congressional enactment to sue to recover its rights. The attorney general, he said, had fought a lone hand; the state land board, the board of control, and the reclamation commission had never Joined to urge the legislature to pass a memorial asking congress to en act the necessary legislation. Power Company Defies State He charged the power com pany with coming with unclean hands because it had defied the state of Oregon in not returning a power permit which the state engineer on the ruling of the at torney general had revoked. He accused it of unfair dealing with the state of Oregon, and said that the state should be getting 9146,000 a year for the use of the waters by the power com pany instead of the mere pit tance it now receives. Bert E. Haney, Portland, rep resenting the irrigation district, further urged that the commis sion should not grant a permit because the next legislature might enact additional legisla tion to safeguard the power rights of the state from private exploitation. Harlan is Challenged Kenneth Harlan, representing the state grange, started some thing when he declared the big delegation from Klamath en dorsing the project had had their expenses pair. Mayor T. B. "Waters seized Harlan and shout ed "That's a lie-. Later when Harlan took the stand and started telling the commission what it must do, and finally asked if they wanted to hear his testimony. Treasurer Kay said "I don't eare a damn about your testimony." A. M. Geary of Portland also appeared in opposition to, the granting of the permit, ttuggest String To Permit Treasurer Kay made inquiries ot both sides, as to whether it would be possible to grant a per mit and get immediate construc tion and still tie a string to the permit by which the power conv pany would be made subject to any new legislation which might be enacted at the next session of the legislature. Kuykendall for the company said no one present could speak for the company on that point; and Haney expressed the view that such a provision would not be safe.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 (AP) -Prepared to.po-"to the bot tom" of the prohibition question. President Hoover's law enforce ment commission today neared a formula for solving this trouble some problem. This formula, still subject to the future discussion, provides that the ten men and one woman of the commission first deter mine whether the dry law is be ing enforced and if not, whether it can be perfected to make it en forceable. 8hould the commission reach the conclusion that prohibition cannot be enforced the next step would be a decision whether it should recommend for modifica tion or repeal. There Is no unanimity among the 11 minds on all the details of such a program, particularly over the latter part of it, but as the commissioners went home over the week end to study fur ther the voluminous reports on prohibition there' apeared signs that this plan was gaining favor.

These were two of the optimistic thoughts left with Salem school officials by Dr. Raleigh Schor ling Friday after he had spent the day visiting Parrish and Les lie Juni6r highs, and Park, Lin coln and Grant elementary schools. Schorling was principal speak er at the county Institute held here the first of the week and returned Friday at invitation of Supt. George W. Hug. He was on his way from Corvallla to St. Helens. The educator is in charge of. the experimental school work conducted by the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, including the two million dollar public school unit receut ly opened by the university. "Dolling up" at Grant Praised The visitor was much pleased with the beautification program started with "dolling up" of the Grant school building, and says he believes it would be fine and logical for Salem schools to set a standard along the right lines in school beautification. Some of the schools are poorly equipped insofar as concerns work toward special efficiency, he told the superintendent. He also advised that tables and chairs be substituted for desks in the classrooms as speed ily as possible. The school board is now considering this matter, following recommendation to that end from Hug. Inquest to determine how Will iam Clark, killed instantly Thurs day afternoon, met his death, will be held this morning at 10:20 o'clock, according to word last night from Lloyd Rigdon, county coroner. Decision to hold the inquest came following preliminary In vestigation after two boys declar ed they saw the accident and saw the truck driven by Bud Dawson hit Clark's truck. The accident occurred on the highway five miles south of town. It was first reported that Clark simply lost control of his machine, but word of the two boys and presence of marks on the rear of the truck indicating that another machine had struck it led to the investigation. Bud Dawson, driver of a Will amette Valley Transfer company truck, reported that he passed or was passing Clark when the Clark truck swerved off the road. No charges will be tiled against Daw son unless the verdict of the Jury should indicate that he was re sponsible for the accident.
