BILL ATTACKED
Legality of Referendum
Measure to Be Tested in
the State Courts
SALEM, Ore.. April 11. Alleging
that the ballot title prepared 'by
Attorney Van Winkle for the pro
posed referendum of the "bus bill"
does not correctly state the contents
of the bill." the county courts cf
Marion and Lane counties today
filed In the circuit court for Marlon
county an appeal to that court from
the Attorney General's title. The'
'most important allegation ln the ap
peal Is that the ballot title as writ
ten by the Attorney General men
tions ."taxes" Imposed .'upon the
buses, whereas, it Is claimed, the
act makes no mention of taxes,
. "Tho ballot title provided by the
j attorney general" says - the com-
plaint, "refers lo the charges impos
ed for use of the highways as 'taxes',
whereas In fact said act does nbt
provide for the levy of any tax, but
the chnrges imposed by the act are
tolls or charges imposed by the state
for the use of the highways."
STOCK OUTLOOK
T
SALEM. Ore., April il. A sum
mary of the livestock condition af
ter the close of the winter months
reveals the fact that Oregon live
stock in the main wintered exceptionally-well,
according to Dr. W. H.
Lylle, state veterinarian, notwith
standing the tact that many herds
went into winter quurters with less
tallow on their ribs than for many
years. '
"During the winter months," says
Lytic, "quite rigorous weather was
encountered, but the cold spell last
ed only for a brief period during
which time there wsgi some lossiof
inin animais. me losses were cuu-
finej chiefly to horses on the pub
lic domain and to thin cattle.
"There was some loss experienced
In ewe bands, particularly among
the old ewe members of the flocks.
This was In part due to the fact that
some of the Oregon flocks have not
been sold dow to the young breed
ing animals 'us closely as In former
years. During the liquidation per
iod a considerable percentage of the
j strictly range district flock masters
were forced to sell their younger
animals and In these districts there
was perhaps a 7 per cent ewe loss.
Tho animals were not valuable ex
ceptlng for their ability to raise a
lamb. r
The health of the Oregon live
stock was never better. Outside of
some losses In horses which have
been duo to botulism caused by the
oatlog of mouldy or botullnous In

Water Usersflnsist'
That PowerLQuestion
Be Settled By Mead
L. Jacob Says Controversy Will Not End Unless
Definite Decision Made J. H. Carnahan ' ,;
' Makes Plea for Water Users j ' V, ,;'
There will never be any peace on the Klamath irriga
tion project until the power question is definitely settled
and until a full, complete and honest - investigation ' is
made into the sale of the power rights to the California,
Oregon Power company. . ,1, X'V'
This was the contention of L. L. Jacob, director of the
district, and J. H. Carnahan, attorney for the district, at
a final conference with Reclamation Elwood Mead at
the court house this morning. : .. , . 't?
A stenographic, report of the conference follows: -
Mr. Jacob) The District would like a minute. I listened
with much interest to Dr. Work's talk last night. From
what he said I fear he has not gotten our point on the
power situation. It is not primarily a matter of interfer
ence with our water supply. Our main contention is that
we owned power canals and sites. That the ownership of
these properties carries with it a monopoly of power pro
duction from Upper Klamath Lake. That we have been
wrongfully deprived of these properties, without com
pensation. We want this property back. Never mind ihe
water. We want peace in Klamath, but no matter is -ever
settled until it is settled right. There will never be peace
in Klamath Project until this question is fairly decided
on its merits. ' '' ':.
Dr. Mead What I would like to have is just a defi
nite statement regarding that power matter. What you
want done. Now, here a
former Secretary of the Interior and the district. Appar-
. il . 1 1- -a- X- i;'w.Vi,t "..,.T T.
fiRjy a legal cunuiici,. ivuw vviiat, giuuuu hub uic jjieocm
administration. It cannot repudiate the contract. . The
question has been raised in
what you want done.
Mr. Thomas Doctor, that
would take quite a little time
Dr. Mead What I would
matter to be put into a definite form with all the facts.
I know that takes time, but simply a state of dissatis
faction with something already done is not enough
ground to secure its undoing. '
Mr. Jacob We are ready to furnish that. .
Mr. Thomas Now exactly what we want we will
present to you in a very short time. ' "
Mr. Carnahan I want to
and without any interruption, as to what is involved in
the power situation here. Now, the contract of February
24th, 1917, authorized the construction of a dam at the
head of Link river, with a
Jate the water level of Upper Klamath Lake, and at the
end of fifty years the dam would revert to the govern- ,
ment and belong to the government. Now the gov
ernment owned two canals, on either side of the canyon,
in which canyon the river drops sixty feet. Thereafter,
these two canals which gave the Calif omia, Oregon
Power company a monopoly of the power facilities on
the Klamath Project were sold in perpetuity. , The dis
trict has possibly lost all its interest in the Ankeny and
Keno canals by that sale, which was confirmed by decree
of the circuit court by D. V. Kuykendall and if
so, if there is any way one can remedy that situation arid
retain that power privilege up there, it is through, the
United States government. What good is that dam if
the canals controlling the canyon are sold in perpetuity?
The contract should be modified so that when that dam
reverts to the government it will not be a useless thing.
There 'was originally enough power resources on this
project to practically pay for the entire project,' and
Secretary Work blinds his eyes to the fact that this
valuable resource, almost
away for a mere mess of pottage. Why should he blind
his eyes to the real situation and say it is "sounding brass
and tinkling cymbals." That contract was the most flag
rant and infamous fraud, I think, that whs ever per
petrated. I refer to the sale of the two canals, made
April 25th, 1923. The dam will revert to the government
at the end of fifty years, but the only place where.it
could generate power from the dam in Klamath canyon,
in the meantime, has been sold in perpetuity by the rec
lamation service to the California, Oregon Power com
pany at probably less than five per cent of its true value.:
It should be modified so as to leave the power privileges
in such a way that when it reverts to the United States
there will be something there belonging to the people;'
. Dr. Mead I understand that is the situation as you
see it. If it is as you say, then we want to know , the
grounds on which action might be taken. If the sale was
merely a blunder, you cannot correct it. If there as
fraud, we want evidence to present. ;v' '
Mr. Carnahan We. will produce that.- . '. .'.:

my mind gentlemen,' of just
