ABOUT THE CVA
Some time ago we said here that the Pendleton East Ore
gonian seemed to be not quite sure where it stood on the
Columbia valley authority bill proposed by Senator Mitchell,
of Washington, but that it "leans toward approval." The
Pendleton paper picked up the comment and said that what
it thinks "is that the suoject should receive serious study
and is not getting it." Another statement was that "The
value of a C VA, it established, would depend upon the terms
of the congressional act and upon the manner in which tne
law is administered." in the same editorial tnis, aiso, is
found: "Most of the objection (to the Mitchell bill) comes
from people who are airaid of public power distribution. "
The implication of one of these statements is that one
cannot mane up his mind about a CVA until he sees what
the law is that congress enacts. Does that mean, we won
der, that the East Uregonian has no opinion regarding the
provisions of the Mitchell bill, S. 4607 It this bill were enact
ed without change would the Pendleton paper think that a
good law had been placed on the books? Taking the bill as
it now stands would the East Oregonian like to see it en
acted as is or are there amendments that might be made
tnat, in its opinion, would give us a better law J. he paper
speaKs of the value of a CVA. Vvhat are the possible terms
of a possible act that the paper thinks would give value to
a CVA?
. We cannot agree with the East Oregonian that most of
the objection to tne Mitchell bill comes irom people who are
afraid of public power distribution, mere are objections
from people who do not like the right given thctiuthonty
to take over the functions of the forest service, of the graz
ing servide, of the fish and wild life service, of the bureau
of mines. There are objections from people who do not like
the Control given the authority over-docks, wharves and
piers m tne coast streams and over floats and boat landings
in those streams as well as in waters used for recreation
purposes. There are people who do not like the prospect of
having to get permission irom the authority, as provided
in the Mitcnell Dill, to build culverts or highway bridges or
other structures over streams in the region. There are
people who do not like the rights given tne authority with
respect to Indian lands. There are people who do not relish
the idea, implicit in the bill, of the states in the region losing
control over their waters. There are people who are alarmed
over the tax losses that would follow the creation of the
authority and the exercise of its powers. There are people
who do not like the idea of having the authority take over
the functions of the bureau oi reclamation and of the army
engineers. ( ,
The state grange, like the East Oregonian, has discussed
the Mitchell bill in terms of public versus private power.
There is much more to the proposal than power and it is un
fortunate that its proponents have so far failed to discover
the fact.
How about a little discussion, on the part of those who
favor the Mitchell bill and of those who think it should
have serious study, of Secretary lckes's assertion that the
authority bills embody "a major step in the basic reorganiza
tion of the government of the United States as we have
known it for the last 150 years." It seems to us that such
discussion would be much more to the point than to consider
tne bill in terms of private versus public power only and to
damn those who oppose the bill as being tools and hirelings
of private power interests.

and the hides themselves became
sodden and let water through.
Lewis' idea was a good one and!
might have been . successful if
they had been able to obtain tarj
or pitch. Fur trappers a few
vears later learned from the In-I
dians how to make 'bull-boats' by.
stretching buffalo hides over a
frame work of willows. These
saucer or bowl shaped affairs
would carry enormous loads and
many a pack of fur was trans
ported in them for hundreds of
miles. Captain Lewis was forced
to make the best of it. The frame
was cached and with philosophic
acceptance of the situation the
whole camp went Ilshlng.
The white pirogue had been
left at Portage creek and new
canoes were made to replace it.
On July 15th they were off to
a fresh start and that day en
tered the Missouri river canyon
and left the plains country be
hind. New wonders unfolded at
every turn of the route. It was
now Clark s turn to take a lew
men and strike overland while
Lewis brought on the canoes
through the limestone canyon
near Helena, Montana, which he
named the Gates of the Moun
tains. On July 27th the boatmen
reached the three forks of the
Missouri where they met Clark
and his men. The united party
camped a mile above the junc
tion of the west and middle fork
on the spot where Sacajawea had
been captured by the Minnata
rees five years before. Strangely
enough they had traversed hun
dreds of miles of Indian country
since leaving the Mandans with
out sighting a single Indian. By
their own estimate they were
now 2,849 miles from St. Louis,
which was about twelve per cent
over later official and more ac
curate measurements.

San Francisco, Calif. Califor
nia democrats now think they
have a formula which the rest
of the country can follow to
achieve political unity within the
party.
As conceived by State Attorney
General Robert W. Kenny, it con
sists primarily of correctly identi
fying what he calls the "profes
sional" and the "crisis" poli
ticians, giving each its proper
role on the political stage, and
then making sure that neither
steals nor spoils the act of the
other.
The professional politician ob
viously Is the party regular who
works at politics all the time. He
is an officeholder or party of
ficial who keeps the machine run
ning.
Crisis politicians, on the other
hand, are the people who step
out in politics only when there is
a campaign or an election, going
on, get all het up over Issues or
personalities, put on rne anves,
collect and pay the- campaign ex
penses, get out the vote. In the
crisis politician class would be
such organizations as the P. A.
C, the "Ham-and-eggers" and the
Crusaders.
American political history in
every state of the Union has
shown that professional poli
ticians get defeated when they
have been t66 long In office,
When they become complacent,
Here 'were three forks to ; then get fat and corrupt. If, how
choose from, each one a major ever, the professional politicians

Tightness which they develop
when out of office, and if they
can keep their political crisis co-
favor of the west fork. Theyjhorts in line, then their machine
named the east fork after Albert .should have a better chance of
survival.
It is In the building of just
such a political machine, as this
that the California Democrats are
now at work. The man who is
making a strong bid to become

New Analgesic Tablet
(Pain Rotlef)
now released to public
Thousands find it gives quicker, safe relief
from headache from pains of sinus,
neuritis, neuralgia and arthritis
FOR MANY YEARS aspirin has been
accepted by both the medical profession
and the public as a safe, sure way co
relieve pain..
Iiut many people who had complete
confidence in aspirin did not find it gave
as quick relief from blinding, maddening
rain as they hoped for. Hence in desper
ation they sometimes turned to other
remedies less Well proved.
To mt tnts situation a group of
medical research men set out to see what
could be done to speed up the analgesic
or "pain-killing" action of aspirin to
make it bring their patients quicker re
lief, without heart or stomach upset.
Out of these researches came a really
new kind of analgesic tablet, a combina
tion of aspirin and calcium glutamate. In
this new tablet, aspirin does its old, safe
job of relieving pain. But through its
combination with calcium glutamate, ex
tensive tests by physicians showed it gave ,
most people both .7 Wofecrrelief and greater
relief from pain.
After this extensive testing and use
by members of the medical profession as
a prescription remedy, this new analgesic
tablet has now been released for non
prescription sale by every druggist. It is
called Superin (from super-aspirin). You
can get its blessed, quick relief from pain
