John 11. Lewis, state enainee- i
discussing f Leishi! iiiit' in
Oregon upon the Subject of w-.tei"
said this need is more luilv r.-'a'i.'d
by prospective investors in -,Mk !,, r
utilization of water than by the pies
ent water users or those interested in
the state's development. n0
the unappropriated waters belong to
the state, there sho-ild be means p,.
vided for determining the amount
that may be used for the. benefit of
an Investor. Where diversion is in
expensive, Utile intention is paid to
the legal right of diversion, but very
few of this kind remain undeveloped
Until we provide by legislation for
an abstract system and police protec
tion for vested rights in water, cap
ital will hesitate to Invest In expen
sive undertakings.

PETITION FOR

case. It was not decided bv the su
preme court, however, because it was
involved, but was left open.
The government insists ihn b..f,...
laying down this harsh rule and prac-1
tically nullifying the law, t:-e court'
of appeals should certify in award
ance with the statute this q-i. sii.ni to
the supreme court for its decision;
that no court short of the Mipreme
court should undertake pracii. ally to
wipe out the interstate commerce' act i
from the statutes. j
It appears from the record in the I
circuit court of appeals that the net;
prifit of the business of the Standard
Oil Company of Indiana, the corpora-,
Hon that Judge Landis fined, for the
years during which the violations of
the law for which it was convicted
were committed, and lnclii.l i-u the
year in which it was indicted,
amounted to $;;;',, ;,s:!,'J0s. .
