MORTON TOMPKINS'S MISTAKE
Morton Tompkins, master of the state grange, is quoted in
the news as arguing that the Columbia valley authority bill
introduced by benator Mitchell, of Washington, amply safe-
guards state rights over irrigation. Mr. Tompkins has not read
the bill or if he has he does not appreciate tne meaning of its
provisions relating to irrigation. The latter is, perhaps, under
standable because Mr. Tompkins, as a Willamette valley
farmer, lacks the knowledge of western water rights and
water law that one must have to interpret the provisions of
the bill intelligently.
One little phrase of the bill tells the story of intended
federal encroachment on state rights. It is found in section 12
Where the corporation (the authority) is authorized to sell
and dispose of surplus water stored by it." One cannot Bull
what he does not own. The phrase, then, connotes the idea of
ownership. But, in fact, it is not the federal authority but the
states and those claiming under them that own the waters
ot the west.
The whole business was fought out in the battle over the
recent flood control bill. That bill as originally introduced
contained like provisions for the sale of stored water but in
the end it was the sale of storage capacity and not water tor
which the law provided. One of the O'Mahoney-Millican
amendments made the change. Now comes this authority bill
provision that would throw away all that was gained in that
former fight on behalf of state interests and subordinate them
to an over-all federal corporation. .
There is a great deal more to be said on this subject of
valley authorities. At the moment we take time only to point
to Mr. Tompkin's mistaken idea' regarding the meaning of
the Mitchell bill on the subject of state rights in water.
THE MILK PROGRAM
Out of the sound and the fury of the argument of the past
few weeks there has come a period of quiet in which, so it
seems, reasonable agreement is being reached regarding the
supervision of conditions under which milk is produced. The
measures pending in the legislature that have received the ap
proval ot tne miiK producers ot this vicinity offer a good
foundation on which to build a sound industry with full public
acceptance.
As we understand them they are in substantial accord with
the seven points recently presented in the state board of
health bulletin as some of the essential components of an ef
fective milk sanitation law. Those points are :
1. A system of licensure of milk producers, distributors
and processors.
2. A code establishing minimum state-wide standards of
milk sanitation.
3. Milk-shed surveys to ascertain whether or not the stand
ards are being upheld. ,
4. Adequate laboratory facilities for the 'regular and thor
ough testing of milk being distributed and marketed in all
parts of the state.
5. Extension, so far as is practicable, of the principle of
local autonomy, with the adoption, on the local level, of a milk
code no less rigid than the state-wide code.
6. Strict enforcement, on a local level, of state and local
Jaws and regulations in the areas where local regulations
are in force and where locul facilities for their enforcement
are available.
7. Strict enforcement of state regulations in areas where
no local regulations are in force and where no locul facilities
for enforcement ate available.
THE DEBT LIMIT
Treasury officials recently appeared before the wavs and
means committee of the national house to discuss a bill- that
would raise the debt limit of the United States from $200
billion to $300 billion. At only two per cent interest a $300
billion dollar debt carries an annual charge of $6 billion. And
there once was a time when there were exclamations over the
fact that the appropriations made by congress were as much
as a billion dollars. That was when Tom Heed, speaker of the
house, said that this was a billion dollar country.
Can it be and stay a $300 billion country? Where will the
spending stop? Will the tretisury and, yes, the chief executive,
once so orally eager to reduce debt, cut expenditure and bal
ance tho budget, ever get around to discussing economy in
stead of increased debt limits?
Others Say . . .
CREATING A Bl'RKAl'C'RATIC
monopoly
(Salem Capitol Journal)
The Oregon senate commit tec
on irrigation and drainage has In
troduced a joint memorial oppos
ing congressional enactment of
the proposal to establish a Colum
bia River Authority to centralize
under federal control hydro-electric
and Irrigation projects. Sen
ator Mitchell of .Washington has
introduced a measure to create
the authority and another house
bill would make the OVA one of
such seven districts In the nation
as advueoted by the president.
The memorial declares that
such an authority would be vest
ed with unlimited powers, further
bureaucratic monopolies, be' be
yond jurisdiction of the general
accounting office, clothed with
governmental immunity for its
acts, have .broad and loosely de
fined powers, and use of govern
ment funds to control the whole
economy of the northwest area,
destroy present water and prop
erty rights and deprive states and
political subdivisions nf any con
trol of the use of waters of the
states. It continues:
"The states included In such
districts, and particularly the
state of .Oregon, its political sub
divisions and all of its residents
and inhabitants, will be further
regimented and federally control
led In that the said authority will
regulate and control the use "of all
of the waters within the state of
Oregon. . . ."
The memorial contends that ex
isting federal and state depart
ments are doing an adequate job
in developing reclamation, irriga
tion, flood control, navigation and
power, without destroying state
and local rights which are daily
being destroyed by a power-mad
parasitic bureuueraey and it Is to
be hoped the legislature passes
this resolution of protest.

Washington
. Column
By Peter Edson
(NEA Staff Correauunilent)
Washington, D. C The Chi
cago area's war manpower com
mission office thinks that it has
come up with a plan for solving
the labor shortage problem in
critical war industries. This Chi
cago plah has been In operation
for over a month and William H.
Spencer, dean ot the Chicago uni
versity school of business who Is
now regional WMC director, cites
figures to show that it works. The
Chicago plan is attracting atten
tion at WMC headquarters in
Washington as something other
ureas can copy.
To begin with, Chicago Is one ,
ot the tightest labor areas in the
country. It was slow getting start
ed on war work but has picked up
steadily. The Chicago area con
sisting of Cook and DuPage coun
ties not to be confused with the
Chicago region of Indiana, Illinois
and Wisconsinhas a labor force
estimated at 1,8:13,000, of whom
over a million are in war produc
tion. Every procurement agency
has contracts in Chicago army,
navy, aircraft, maritime commis
sion and 50 per cent of the quar
termaster corps processed foods
are procured in Chicago packing
plants.
Many of these Chicago area con
tracts are without ceiling, mean
ing that the government will take
nil of Ihe items that can be pro
duced, without limit. Chicago can
therefore use all the labor it can
get for war industries. The ques
tion was where to get it.
Point of attack on this problem
was the 650,000 people employed
In the trade and service indus
tries. First step was to put all
women workers under priority
referral, meaning that women
could no longer switch from one
(oh to another unless they had
USKS release.
Next step was an order to cut
10 per cent from the labor force
of all non-essential Industries em
ploying more than 10 people, tho
10 per cent cut to be paid off In
male warkers. Thus if an employ
er had '200 workers, half of them
women, he would have to release
20 men.
These employers could not be
given credit for the men they re
leased, however, unless they were
men who could be placed by
I'SKS, unless they were accepted
by the essential Industry employ
er to whom they were referred
and unless Ihey had a written
guarantee they'd get their old job
back from their original employer
and that all their seniority and
oilier union rights would be pro-,
fected during their temporary em
ployment In essential war indus
tries. If a transferred workmar
didn't have the necessary skill fo
1 1 lie Job to w hich he w as referred
; he could go Kick to his original
employer. If he refused to take a
j war job to which he was referred.
' without giving good reason, he
' was laid off to think it over,
j The results, as annoum-ed by
j IVan Silencer, show how Chicago
has been able to shift its work
force to meet wnr needs. What
this all means is that Chicago has
found tens of thousands of work- j
ers it didn't know it had and that j
It will gel many more millions of
dollars worth of war contracts as ,
a result.

"-' CHOPIN AND SAND'
Frederic and Franz Liszt passed
from the bellroom Into a solarium.
"Madame," Liszt said, approach
ing George Sand, who was wait
ing, "I bring you Monsieur Cho
pin." Frederic kissed her hand.
Lizst was saying, " And now,
George, If you will pardon me "
Then he was gone.
" I can only thank you, Ma
dame "
''For what?"
" I am not very adept with
words, Madame."
"That's a frank admission. I like
you all the better for It. But you
needn't be so humble "
"Thank you. I had no thought
of being humble "
"Do as I do, Monsieur let
words tumble ns they please.
Never seek for nuances "
"Yes, Madame. I shall remem
ber that. And now I want to thank
you for all you have done for me,
and this this invitation"
"The thanks, Monsieur, should
be the other way around. Thank
you for coming"
"You flatter, Madame, other
wise, why "
"Please, Monsieur! Sand doesn't
flatter any man, not even you,
Monsieur Chopin."
Her words chilled him. He
felt himself a simpleton.
"You want tho truth?"
"Of course, Madumc." His
heart sank.
"Well, Monsieur, I wanted a
closer look at you."
Oh! A closer look. Was he
some curious creature that she
would bring him into a cage the
belter to see him? He studied her
dark and less than handsome face.
He saw a broad nose, clear eyes,
thick lips thick though not pas
sionate In the sense a woman's
lips are said to he passionate. He
saw sincerity, too. And he thought
that that was an odd thing. Yet
he couldn't say why.
"That's why I thank you. Mon
sieur. But there's another reason.
for this evening you will do exact
ly as I ask without question "
In the ballroom the critic Kalk
brenner was clapping his hands
for attention. "Ladies and gentle
men!" The talking ceased. All
eyes were on Kalkbrenner. The
critic cleared his throat. "Ladies
and gentlemen, tonight we are
all to have a great privilege. I
have persuaded the greatest artist
of our day to honor us "
Jozef Eisner worked his jaw.
"Louis, is it true, Louis, that you
are giving my friend and pupil "
" Shss," Louis Plcyel said.
" And now, ladies and gentle
men, if you will repair to the
music room, you will hear Maes
tro Franz Liszt!"
Applause followed the an
nouncement. Groups broke up and
there were polite shovings as
everybody directed steps toward
the music room. Kalkbrenner had
Liszt's arm.
Louis Pleyel, too, would have
been at the maestro's side, but he
was unable to wedge through the
crowd. Jozef Eisner looked about
for Frederic.
There were not enough chairs.
Lackeys brought in extra chairs
into the music room but still there
were not enough.
Liszt mounted the piano plat
form. He faced the applauding
audience. He was laughing. He
motioned for everybody please to
discontinue their handclapping.
Jozef Eisner remained in the
ballroom which was now empty
except for himself and two or
three lackeys w'ho were bustling
about. The music room was so
crowded anyway that he did not
try to get into it. He walked the
length and breadth of tho ball
room, looking for Frederic, but
the manner of his search was
ludicrous, if not pathetic. It was
obvious Frederic was not in the
room.
There was fresh applause in the
music room. When it died down
