Whllo the state's appropriation of
J4&0.000 for the Tunialo iirojoct Is
being held up by the Injunction pro
ceedings brought by a Sale in lawyer.
the Federal government comes for
ward with an offer to co-operate with
Oregon In this Important work. In
this connection, K, 11. Newell, direc
tor of tho reclamation service, has
eent Governor West the following
message:
"In pursuance of the suggestions
made by the chairman of thu Oregon
Conservation Commission, the matter
of cooperation with u view to the pos
sible construction of the proposed
Columbia Southern Carey act project,
now known as the Tunialo project,
has been considered by tho Secretary
of the Interior, and on June 7 he ap
proved n recommendation of the He
ciamatlon Service that If Investiga
tions now proposed under the coo
erative contract show that the con
struction of tho proKed Tunialo
project Is feasible and that there are
no insuperable legal obstacles, the
President will bo asked to set aside
In the .reclamation fund a, suitable
'amount, not exceeding $450,000, to
cooperate with the state of Oregon
in accordance with the provisions of
the reclamation act of June 17, 1902,
In connection with the construction
of said project."
The Desert Land Hoard held a
meeting at Salem Monday night to
consider the announcement from
'Washington, but until the Supreme
Court has rendered Its decision noth
ing can be done. L. H. McMahan,
who is fighting the case, stated to
the board that, while he still believed
the act unconstitutional, the report
that the Federal government would
contribute the same amount put an
other phase to the question. He,
however, showed no disposition to
withdraw bis suit, which was decided
against bim by Circuit Judge Gallo
way, again declaring that the Legis
lature had no light to appropriate
money contributed by nil thu people
for tho benollt of any onu class.
Attorney General Crawford ex
plained that tho money which tho
goxurument proposed to donntu could
bo used III construction uf part or
tho dam, mid thu rest In Irrigating
lnnd adjoining that Irrigated by tho
state. Ho Ha Id that tho Hinds could
not bo used Jointly because of the
necessity of both tho state ittid Fed
eral government having llrst mort
gage on the land.
Me.Mahnu and tho attorney general
agreed to proiwro briefs at onco and
the Supremo Court will bo asked to
hoar argument otthor Friday or Mon
day and gU a decision As stum a
possible.
AlcMAHAN LOSES
FIRST HEARING
(Continued from Pago One),
stltutlonnl as being In violation of
section 23 of article A and section 7
of article 11 of the constitution of
this state.
"Among other authorities referred
to, the court Is specially cited to the
case of Sears vs. Steel, commonly
known as tho Crater Lake rond case,
In sustaining his contention that tho
act In question is special and local,
and therefore old under section 23
of article 4 of the constitution. Plain
tin further alleges that the act under
consideration pledges the credit of
the state and Incurs an Indebtedness
exceeding $50,000, which Is In vio
lation of section 7 of nrt'ele 11 of
the constitution.
Act of Public Character.
"The attorney general, on behalf
of the defendants, secretary and state
treasurer, denies these allegations of
tho learned counsel who acts In his
own behalf and claims the act In
question Is not special and local but
of a public character and for the
benefit of the ople of the state. The
the state Is not ohllgat'ng Its credit
nor guaranteeing trie obligations of
private individuals or corivoratlons
nor Is the state Incurring indebted
ness exceeding the limits placed by
the constitution In carrying out the
provisions of the act In question. The
court was cited to section 38C0 I,. O.
L. accepting the provisions and con
ditions of the Carey act and other
legislative acts, which in connection
with the act under consideration is
but carrying out a contract entered
Into between the state and the United
States, under the provisions of the
reclamation laws of the contracting
parties.
"Acts of Congress August 18, 1894,
28th statutes, and acts amendatory
thereof authorising a lien on. arid
land by the state, also act of Con
gress March 31, 1910, extending time
In which the state might reclaim, the
segregated arid lands are also cited.
'llio acceptance by tho slntu of thu
bouelU of tho Carey net Is claimed to
commit tho stato to tho reclamation
of Its arid land, and that oxpundlturo
of public funds for such purpose Is
not lu violation of thu constitution,
in fact, tho keynote of tho attorney
general's argument is the legality of
the stato to engage In tho work of
Intel mil Improvomoiits mid to appro
prliijo nmnuy mlscd by direct tan
tlou therefor whou tho uumauio Is
of it public character such ns tho re
clamation of tho state's arid laud;
and that nothing In tho constitution
prohibits the state outcrlng upon
such a polio.
"First lu older for the court's eon
sldttrntlon Is thu caso of Sours vs.
Steel. In this enso $100,000 had been
appropriated to aid lu building a
road within Jackson and Klamath
counties from Medford to Klamath
Falls la Crntor l.ako, conditioned
that each county appropriate $t0,
000 toward said project, thus enforc
ing unequnl taxation between the
counties of the state, clearly lu vio
lation of the constitution prohibiting
the passage of local and special laws
for laying out, working or supervis
ing highways. It Is further held In
this very able opinion by Justice Mo
llrlde that a statute making nn ap
propriation for the construction of n
state road and permitting tho county
court of the counties through which
the rond runs to lay n burden on the
taxpayers of the county, not shared
equally bv the taxpayers of other
(arts uf tho state Is local and In vio
lation of section 2.1 of article "4 of
the constitution.
"I'nder thu Carey act and tho ac
ceptance of Its provisions under sec
tion .IStiO I,. O. I.. tfie state comes
in possession of Its arid lands for
reclamation, with n Hen on said land
for all expenditures made therefor
under thu suihtvIbIoh of the desert
land lionrd, I'nder the provisions
of the net In question both principal
and Interest Is to be eventually re
turned to the state Wo are unable
to see the analogy In the rtiso at bar
with what is known as the provis
ions of the Crater Lake road case,
"A Wi Policy."
"Tho real question beforo the
court is, Can the state, acting under
a wise policy of Internal Improve
ment, reclaim Its arid land for the
benefit of all tho people: or must this
alMmportant work be left In the fu
ture as in the past to the Ineffectual
operslon of private mtorprlse?
"Tho court Is of the opinion that
a more wise and progressive pollcv
should prevail and that Chapter 119
of the general laws of the session of
1913 Is not In violation of the lim
itation of the constitution as alleged
In he complaint. This suit Is there
fore dismissed wih costs to neither
party and it Is so ordered."
