Westerners Ask Congressional
Action To Patch Ud Water Rift
Washington A powerful
bloc of Westerners in Con
gress wants action in 1960 to
patch up the rift between the
Federal Government and sev
eral Western states over water
rights.
Water is as precious as gold
in many regions of the West
and its use always has been
closely regulated by state law.
But several Supreme Court
decisions of recent years have
made the states fearful their
authority to grant rights for
the development of water re
sources may be restricted by
the Federal government What
would be worse, the states say,
is the possibility that projects
begun years ago under state
granted water rights and de
veloped at great expense
could be taken over by the
Government at any time with
no guarantee of compensation.
Navigability Issue
The problem is two-fold.
To begin with, the constitu
tional - clause directing Con
gress to regulate interstate
commerce was interpreted by
the Supreme Court to mean
that the Federal Government
could exercise control over
all navigable waterways. In
other words, a person using
the waters of a river under a
right granted him by the
state conceivably could be
forced to yield that right to
the Government at any time
with no compensation for his
loss..
Under this doctrine, which
has come to be known as nav
igation servitude, the states
had to confine their jurisdic
tion over water rights t o
the smaller, non - navigable
streams within their respec
tive boundaries.
In 1940, the Supreme Court
decided that even some non
navigable streams should be
subject to Federal control
under the Constitution's com
merce clause. The Court ex
tended the navigability stand
ard to non-navigable streams
that might be made navigable
and to tributaries flowing into
navigable rivers.
The doctrine of navigation
servitude aroused fears
among state officials and po
tential water users that vir
tually no waterway-even the
remote streams in the vast
Western watersheds-could be
developed without the pos
sibility of later Federal con
trol. Pelion Dam Cue
Their fears were compound
ed by the Court's decision in
the Pelton Dam case in 1955.
The Court upheld the right
of the Federal Power commis
sion to license a power com
pany to build a dam on a
river in Oregon, despite the
fact that the State of Oregon
had refused to grant water
rights to that company. Since i
there was no question of the
river's navigability, the state
felt it had control over all
water rights. But the Supreme
Court said that state control
was superseded by the Fed
eral Government because the
proposed dam was to have
been built on land owned by
the Federal Government and
reserved by it for use as a
power site.
The Pelton Dam decision
touched off violent protests
from the Western states,
which have huge ' tracts of
Government - owned public
land within their borders.
Public lands can be with
drawn or reserved by the
Government for use as na
tional parks and forests, mil
itary reservations or power
development sites.
Dissenting in the Pelton
Dam decision, Justice William
O. Douglas said:
'In the West, the U. S. owns
a vast amount of land. If by
mere executive action the
Federal lands may be re
served, and all the water
rights . . . returned to the
U.S., vast dislocations in the
economies of the Western
states may follow."
Legislative Proposals
Two legislative proposals
on water rights are awaiting
I960 action. A measure spe
cifically designed to nullify
the effects of the Pelton Dam
case has the support of the
Departments of Interior and
Justice and the National Re
clamation association. They
say the bill, which provides
that reservations of public
lands by the Government
would " not affect state water
rights is a good first step in
redefining Federal-state rela
tions on this issue. It is spon
sored by House and Insular
Affairs Committee Chairman
Wayne N. Aspinall (D-Colo.).
A much broader bill is be

Horse and Buggy Days
Better, Says Mailman
Delhi, N.Y.-The rural mail
carrier service has been mech
anized and streamlined since
Benjamin T. Rutherford first
started making the rounds 44
years ago.
But Rutherford retired with
the thought that maybe the
horse and buggy days were
better after all.
"Those Tiorses seemed to
know which mail boxes to
stop for," he observed.
