Newspaper Page TextThe Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, June 21, 1979 FIFTEEN Jemstedt reports on OLCC, Columbia River waters By Senator Ken Jernstedt District 28 This week I started work on a 5-member conference com mittee that will hammer out a compromise on HB 2060, which would change the for mula by which the O.L.C.C. issues licenses. At the present time, a license can be issued on the basis of one of every 2,000 people. This works a hardship on the tourist areas of Oregon, and we have many of those. If the absence of a bar is indeed a hardship, the same thing can be said concerning thinly populated areas. In other words some citizens have a long way to drive to get to a "watering hole." Just how to change the formula without going too far is the problem that we face. There are some that want it wide open and others that believe we have too many licensed bars as it is. We do not know that the OLCC is'out of licenses at the present time and that several large hotel motel complexes need them for the tourist season which has already begun. Recently I attended a nat ional legislative task force meeting concerning Indian affairs one to which the Senate President appointed me about two months ago. The meeting was held in Carson City, Nevada and nine mem bers of the task force were in attendance. The chairman is from Rhode Isalnd. Most of the other members in attend ance were from west of the Mississippi River. The topic under discussion was Indian water rights and the relationship of these rights to state governments. Water is fast becoming a real problem to many of our states, espec ially those in the southwest. Old Supreme Court (1908) decisions gave Indian reser vations tremendous bargain ing power as far as water is concerned, which leaves some states especially Arizona in very tough positions. Twenty seven percent of that state is made up of reservation lands. They are using their water, especially their ground water, at a rate two times greater than that of replenishment. Eighty-n ie percent of the total f aount of Arizona's water oes for irrigation. While Oregon is not con fronted with a problem of the magnitude of that of Arizona, we might very well run into trouble in the future. At present Congress has extend ed the moratorium on the diversion of Columbia River water to Arizona, but that could change. Also, the struc ture of irrigated agriculture in Eastern Oregon could be greatly affected should an order of priorities be set up under terms of old Indian treaties. One thing is certain water is one of our most precious resources and we must guard it wisely and well. printing The Gazette-Times 676 9228 !CtWsiER nm?(B 111 iliiilS Latch Hook ncy pontg, garbardine mMBM ' LilW7 s.
