WHAT IS FORESEEABLE?
Lowell Stockman has continued to press Secretary Kruir for
more detailed information on the interior department plan to
carry Columbia river water to thirsty California. He is en
titled to praise and the thanks of the Pacific northwest for
the manner in which he is developing the record and securing
from the department a more intimate knowledge of its think
ing on the subject. Though he represents only Oregon's sec
ond district in the national house he is serving, in this under
taking, all of the several northwest states that are potential
users of the Columbia waters.
It will be remembered that last summer Secretary Krug
wrote Representative Stockman to the effect that only those
northwest waters that were not needed would be taken to
California. Stockman's immediate move was to ask as of what
date the need would be determined. Obviously, as the north
west developed, as a steady flow in the Columbia became more
and more necessary to assure firm power and as diversions
for irrigation increased the water needs of the region would
grow. The-implication of the Krug response-was that a time
would come when all possible northwest needs would be met
and that'then the surplus might be taken south.
Krug's answer as to the time when the need was to be de
termined was given out by Stockman last week. Those who
read it in the news must have been impressed by the emphasis
placed by the secretary on the California water situation as
related to the Columbia supply. The southwest is "scraping
the bottom of the barrel" to meet the demand for water, wrote
the secretary. In contrast he pointed to the "enormous quan
tities of fresh water (that) are discharged annually by the
various streams in Northern California, Oregon and Wash
ington." Krug then repeated the suggestion made in reply to
Stockman's question of last spring; that is, that there would
be a climbing of the ladder to the north, "putting to use the
excess flows of each watershed in turn as the need develops."
The first rung of the ladder, as the idea was presented last
spring, was the Klamath river. When Stockman asked how the
Klamath was to be replenished the answer was from the
Rogue or the.Umpqua. Now the thought is to refill them from
more northerly streams and, obviously, to place dependence, .
ultimately, on the Columbia.
All this is interesting enough but the Stockman question as
to the final timing of the decision as to northwest water needs
is avoided. There is only the suggestion of some uncertain date
when a decision has been made as to "the maximum practic
able within-basin use", "the largest probable, amount of con
sumptive use of water under foreseeable conditions", "the
maximum probable ultimate development", "foreseeable wa
ter requirements" and 'maximum probable ultimate needs".
What those phrases mean is that somebody, some time, is go
ing to decide that the northwest's water requirements for all
time to come can be met with a surplus to spare and that that
surplus can be taken to the southwest.
Who has the brains to make that decision for the north
west? Will the northwest be willing to base its future on what
somebody in the department of the interior says is "foresee
able"? We think not.
That picture we had on Saturday of the salmon rearing
pools on Marion fork above the Detroit dam shows what can
be done to preserve a salmon run on a stream on which a high
dam is built If this sort of thing can be done in connection
with the Detroit dam on the North Santiam why not in con
nection with the Pelton dam on the Deschutes?

Oct. 18 Winter crept down
from the mountains and closed in
on Calico farm last night.
The Chief pumped the cistern
dry and scrubbed the walls clean,
then pumped in fresh water from
the big ditch. He hooked up three
lengths of pipe from the sprink
ler system, to reach from the
ditch to the cistern, and wheeled
the big motor on its squat wheels
to the bridge. When he started
the motor, the water poured into
the cistern in a stream with fire
hose force.
When the cistern was nearly
full, light, feathery snow began
to fall. It looked soft and downy
and it took me back to my child
hood. When it snowed like that,
Mother used to say, "Old Dame
Nature is picking her geese.'i
I put on a sweater and went
out in the front yard, and stood
for a few minutes looking at the
little waterfall. The rocks showed
through the thin stream, a pitiful
drizzle compared to the full head
of water that's turned into the
ditch in the irrigation season.
The cold water was crystal-clear,
and along the edges of the ditch,
where the water line had receded,
were fronds of ice.
The Chief said the water was
to be turned off for awhile and
then turned on again for its last
little spurt of the season, except
for short periods every month or
so, when the rarmers are sup
posed to fill their cisterns. That's
why he was so anxious to get the
cistern cleaned, before the water
got roily.
This morning I sat by the win
dow and watched the falls. The
water was still tumbling over
the rocks and bubbling up from

WASHINGTON COLUMN
aiMiimuuwiiuiuiuHiiimiuituiuiuiuuuiuiujuiiuui
By Douglas I-arsen
(NbA alatl Cocra.Mvnd.nO
Washington (NliAl Today's
professional fighters for the
riglita of women have a tar mure
modest goal than Die vision of
political eipiullty with men, which
Inspired the early sutfiiiKi'tte
leaders to their nulile efforts,
The great political purge, the
great revitalizing of the whole
American governmental process
which giving the vole to women
was supposed to produce, never
materialized. It has turned out
that women really don't give
much of a hoot nhout voting. If
they do get around to It, It's
usually at their huslmiid's urg
ing. And when they scan the bal
lot. If they don't see the name
of a man whom they think to lie
"cute," chances are they'll follow
their husband's advice on the
matter.
The great social and economic
UtH-ration which political free
dom was supiHised to produce
for the gals has heon the other
way around. What little political
Influence they exert today has
largely hoen won through the so
cial and economic UImmiiiIou they
got at first. And those freedoms
have been won more hy such cru
saders as Max Factor and 1 tattle
Carnegie than hy the professional
women's rights fighters.
The exceptions such us Mar
garet Chase Smith and Helen (.la
hagan Douglas have tx'cn too
rare over the years to prove any
thing except their rarity.
Proof of all this ran be found
in the big new program of the
League of Women Voters which
has Just been launched here. A
spokesman for the league calls
It, "the most ambitious drive
this organization has ever under
taken." The official announce
merit explains It as "a series of
eleven regional conferences to
train leaders of the league In
ways to arouse women voters to
accept party responsibility."
Miss Anna Lord Strauss, na
tional president of the league,
sounds the following keynote:
Miiuuuiuiiaiuiiiii.uiiuuuiiiuiu(Uit4auuuuiuittaaiuuiuiitaHaiiiiviau
"The connecting link between
you and your government old
clals Is the pulltlcal party. High
government officials will make
I liu filial decisions on problems
of peace ami prosperity, but It
Is the political party that deter
mines who these oltlclals shall
be. You can take an active part
In the political party If you wish.
'I'ollllesf Is everybody's business'."
The big excuse that the league
gives today for women falling to
take a significant place In U.S.
politics Is thai It's Just too lough
for them to get stalled 111 the
game. This drive, apparently. Is
to cure that by allowing them
how to get started.
A pamphlet called "What's the
U.S. to Vou?-A yulz," Is to In
the bible and guide ol the league's
drive. The publication Is unique
In that none of the ipiestloiis
which are asked In II are un
answered. The ipiestloiis are sup
posed to be so challenging to the
female mind that they send the
reader oft In hoi chase for the
answers. Then when she finds
the answers she'll lie all fired
up to get Into politics.
A league spokesman explains
the Interesting reason for a pam
phlet hi this unusual form. For
six years the league stalf tried
to get one nut which was to lie
called "Know Your Party." They
finally discovered that there was
n't enough, difference Is'twivn
the principles uf the national
democratic and republican organ
izations to fill even a small pam
phlet. Then they discovered thai
there were too many differences
among the state organizations uf
the same parly for even a large
pamphlet to try to explain. So
they put all of the unanswered
questions which they had Ih'cii
collecting over a period of six
years mid made a pamphlet out
of them Instead.
Hy flooding the country with
the league's new quiz publication
and with the 11 regional confer
ences. Miss Strauss hopes that by
the l'.ifiO election "all women will
Ik1 active workers In the party
of their choice."
