The issue: Shall the federal government, or a private power company, tap the hydroelectric resources of the mishich of Snake? the support for the federal project comes from Democrats. Under the Eisenhower administration, the Federal Power Commission (FPC) has licensed Idaho Power Co. to build three power dams in the Hells Canyon area. The company has begun construction of its dams despite a court challenge of its license by public power interests: Democrats contend the administration's tacit approval of the Idaho Power plans is a "giveaway" of one of the last great dam sites in the West.

Hells Canyon is the deepest river gorge in northern America. Republicans answer that the federal project would not outproduce the company dams to an extent warranting the cost, pointing out the private projects will cost Uncle Sam nothing.
