BOISE. Idaho, Nov. 20 Com'
missioner of Reclamation Michael
W. Straus has instructed the re
gional office of the bureau of
reclamation to initiate a series
of field meetings with the corps
of engineers for the purpose of
coordinating the plans of the two
agencies for the comprehensive
development of the Columbia
river drainage basin, R. J. New
ell, regional director, said today.
Maximum coordination of the
long-range programs for land and
water resource development is
being sought by Commissioner
Straus in accordance with the
wishes of President Truman,
Newell said.
The president wrote Secretary
of the Interior J. A. Xrug on
Sept. 16, 1948, that he wished the
corps of engineers and the bureau
of reclamation to correlate their
plans for the Columbia river basin
"to the end that the best over-ail
plan would be available for pre
sentation by me to the congress
He also requested that fullest co
ordination be attained with oth
er affected agencies of the de
partment of the Interior, the de
partment of agriculture, and the
federal power commission. The
oresident sent similar letter to
the secretarv of the navy.
The bureau of reclamation in
1947 completed its comprehensive
lan for the development or wa
ter. land and ether resources of
the vast basin and the corps of
ncineers this month Issued its
so-called, "308' report for the
same area. Both plans call for the
construction, over period of sev
eral decades of a large number
f irrigation, multiple - purpose,
and other projects, costing sev
eral billion dollars.
Exploratory discussions on the
?roblem have already been held
n Washington.

6 Tax Limit
EUGENE, Ore., Nov. 20 - UP)
The Oregon Finance Officers' as
sociation attacked the state 6 per
cent limitation on property taxes
here Friday.
A resolution at the annual con
vention asserted that the law
which attempts to keep such taxes
from increasing more than 6 per
cent "does not In fact act as a
restriction on property taxes nor
as a safeguard for property tax
payers." The group urged that elected
budgeting boards be allowed to
determine local financial poli
cies. The association also recommen
ded setting up of working funds
for cities so that they need not
issue warrants between the end
of one fiscal year and the first
property tax turnovers in the
next.
They also proposed reapportion
ment of the state legislature after
every federal census and set up
a committee to work with other
groups for improvement of the

Report Slaps at
Power Bill Vote
Action of the voters at the gen
eral election in rejecting an am
endment to the state hydroelectric
act which would have encouraged
a $30,000,000 power development
2 . , . 1
in eastern vjregon was stressed oy
the Oregon postwar development
and readjustment commission in
report filed Saturday with Gov
John H. Hall.
"Oregon people are asking for
development of their state yet
they voted against this proposal.
the report said. "The recent re
duction in electric power alloca
tion to Oregon industries is ample
proof that more power plants are
required.
The report said it is apparent
that -the Pacific northwest cannot
expect congress to continue build
ing river dams and if development
of the state is to continue private
companies must be permitted to
cooperate. "As a result of dwind
ling power Oregon already has
been warned of a possible brown
out," the, report continued.
Sltnatien Aente
The commission said the power
situation in eastern Oregon is ra
pidly becoming acute and prob
ably will become more serious as
the population increases and de
mand for electric energy becomes
mode widespread.
The report also stressed adverse
publicity which, it charged, had
resulted from rejecting the power
bill at the general election. "Num
bers of large industrial concerns,
advised of the power situation in
Oregon, have postponed or aban
doned their plans to locate in Ore
gon," the report averred. The
commission said establishment of
these industrial concerns would
have resulted in more employment,
larger payrolls and an increased
demand for agricultural products.,
eiy e Governaaeat
"Too many persons apparently
have the idea that the federal gov
ernment, because of, construction
of the Bonneville and Grand Cou
lee projects, will continue to in
stall all of the hydroelectric facili
ties in the northwest as they are
recfuired," the report said.
There is no assurance that all
three of these massive projects,
Bonneville, Grand Coulee and Mc
Nary, will be able to produce suf
ficient power to supply the north
west."
The report concluded with the
prediction that the current power
shortage would continue for a
number of years providing there
is no general letdown in business
conditions.

made, the findings are turned over
to the commission. If objections are

public commission.
