says the christian science monitor shifted from boulder canyon to black canyon on the colorado river by the special engineering boards report it has struggled through both houses of congress made its way through the bureau of the budget and the secretary of the interiors office and finally dually passed tile lie white house portals the presidents signature has just made a law of the suing johnson bill embodying this most ambitious of all projects for harnessing a river carryl carrying g an appropriation of to build a vast system of flood control irrigation and hydroelectric works this measure I 1 Is s designed to open a new era of development in the southwest As amended by the senate and approved by the house the bill meets many of the object losa raised against the original measure it provides a more adequate sum tor for construction and puts the burden of repaying the cost of the all american canal upon the water users benefited instead of upon revenues from the pon er plant to be erected near the dam also it makes a more equable divi slon sion or of water between arizona and call fornia lorala allotting allott ln acre feet annually to the former and to t 0 the t 1 le litter latter as against in the earlier c ari i e r bill congress sidestepped a decision on the most debated feature of the measure whether uli ether the power plant should be built and operated by the government or by private companies the tm bill leaves tills th question to the Secre secretary tari of 0 the interior thereby greatly increasing interest in mr hoovers selection ofa of a man tor for that post it can reasonably be argued that determination of governmental policy such in h as is hero here involved belongs more properly to congress this loophole loop hole tor for federal operation offered the only likely ground for a veto by president coolidge who had insisted repeatedly that the government should not go into bustness business the next hurdle the project must surmount Is the possible failure ot of six of the seven states in the rivers basin to ratify the colorado river compact as required by the bill at present utah and arizona are standing out furthermore arizona has indicated she will carry her protests against federal allotment of her water and power resources into the courts legal opinion Is divided on the merits of this issue and final adjudication Is likely to be obtained only by tedious litigation apparently boulder dam still has a long nay w ay to go and greater efforts to conciliate c arizona and obtain her cop coop co C op aeration would have smoothed the road it must travel |
