Idaho Governor
Claims Dam Plan
Violates Rights
Washington U.R Gov. Len
Jordan of Idaho Tuesday accused
the Interior Department of try
ing to take over "our" river in
proposing construction of Hell's
Canyon dam.
Jordan, before a House recla
mation subcommittee, opposed a
bill authorizing the controver
sial dam on the Snake river en
the Oregon-Idaho border.
Said Violation of Rights
He said the bill was a violation
of state's rights, adding "Idaho
claims a substantial interest in
the Snake river. In fact, we think
of it as our river. ...
"I insist the waters of the
Snake river belong to the sev
eral states in which these waters
originate. I do not agree that
the rights of the federal govern
ment are paramount to the rights
of the states."
The governor also complained
the bill failed to provide for irri
gation or reclamation facilities,
and that it would put a "defi
nite limitation" on upstream Irri
gation. Power Authority Seen
He argued also that the bill
would destroy the possibility of
slack water navigation in south
era Idaho. His state, he said,
would be forced to set up a state
power authority to protect its
interest in' the production at
Hell's Canyon.
Jordan said the Columbia Ba
sin Inter - Agency Committee,
made up of federal and state of
ficials in the area, did not ap
prove the dam plan and, in fact,
was bypassed in its presentation
to Congress.
