Attorney General Grant Martin and Representa tive Hardin, a mejnber of the committee had a discussion About tho report today. Mr. Martin asked Mr. Hardin why he hadn't come' to him and secured some facts from the record. "Haven't you given away these fran chises?" asked Hardin.' ' "No," replied the attorney general. "Haven't you given away tho best jwater power sites In the state, to east ern capitalists?" asked Hardin. "No sir, wo haven't given anything to eastern capitalists," replied Mr. Martin, "The law will not permit us to give away these sites, or to give water grants," con tinued Mr. Martin. "We are operating under the law which you people passed and those hearings we had during tho spring and summer were devoted to the question whethor wo should cancel some permits Issued for the user of water.
