Would Have People Vote Bonds
to Develop Water Power of
Oregon Cites Gold Ray
Dam Supplying California
Cheaper Lights and Fuel.
KTATR imi.THH. SAMCM. Jan. 2. .
Senator (lenrge W. Joseph today In
truiluei'd a joint resolution proposing
to su limit to the people a const itu
tional amendment authorizing thn
state lo engage in water power devel
opment. The measure Is patterned
closely after a measure Introduced hy
Joseph at the session of 191. It Is so
drawn that the state could engage In
water power development either Inde
pendently or cn-operatlvely with any
..llt.M! Ll..l, . ... U(..tI.D K.KU ll,n 1
government or with all of them.
The resolution points out that such
development would effect an Immense
(saving of coal. 11 and fuel and that
'ovpr half n ,llu"n iicrp f lan' ln
'the northeastern part of the state
could he Irrigated by electrical energy
so developed.
The measure provides that notwith
standing the state's constitutional lim
itations, the credit of the state may
he loaned and indebtedness incurred
for the purpose of providing the nec
essary funds to acquire and develop
hydro-electric power and to sell it
throughout the state. It would give
the state the right to contract with
political or municipal suh-dlvlslons of
the state, with the United States and
with other states concerning the de
velopment, conservation and use of
Inter-state and other waters for tho
generation of power.
Waterpower is an Inexhaustible
anl1 eternal resource, being roplenlsh-
Inexhauslahle water power fur its
light, heat and power.
"Oregon, Washington and Califor
nia have within their boundaries over
two-thirds of the potential hydro
electric energy of the United States.
"While Cullforuiu and Washington
huve both made progress In the de
velopment of their water power re
sources, Oregon with its one-third of
the water power energy Is thirty-third
In development.
"The Columbia river has been re
ferred to as one of the greatest. If not
the greatest single unit of potential
hydro-electric development In the
world. The United States, Oregon
uml Washington own this magnifi
cent river, but It perennially rolls
away In waste to the sen. ...
"Tho government and the two
states should proceed at once to con
struct a huge hydro-cloctrio plnnt on
this stream which woald generate
chl.a lowr f,. eXC 0f the pros
ent demand nnd thereby Invite the
consumers of power to these two
states from all over the world.
"Krom Gold Kay on the Rogue
river Is lielng transmitted power from
Oregon to San Francisco, and It Is
high time that cheap power be devel
oped on the Columbia river and made
available for Oregon and Washington.
On each side of the Columbia river
is a railroad which should be operat
ed by electric energy derived from the
stream and tho expense of hauling
thousands of carlonda of coal thou
sands oi miles be eliminated."
