OREGON STATE TO SUFFER
Dumping of Canadian Wheat and
Meat and Hides From Overseas
Iuty Free Another Danger.
A. B. Thompson, mayor of Echo. Or.
and widely known to a host of friends .
aa "Ace" Thompson declared yester
day that the future of irrigation porj
ects in Oregon hinges on republican
control of the coming United States
senate. If the democrats manage to
squeeze in the deciding vote which
will give them the senate organiza
tion, there will be little irrigation
activity in Oregon for some years to
come, he emphasized.
Mr. Thompson is one of the direc
tors of the large Teal irrigation proj
ect in Umatilla county. This project
embraces about 20,000 acres. It cov
ers the district between the Umatilla
river at Echo to Butter creek and
extends about 15 miles from the junc
tion of these streams to the Blue
mountains.
Federal Aid fiot Given.
"Because of inability to obtain the
federal aid to which Oregon is en
titled from its own payments into
the reclamation fund this has had to
be undertaken as a private project,"
Bald Mr. Thompson. "It has been un
der way about a year and a half, and
Is approximately one-third completed.
"This and other private irrigation
projects in Oregon, which, when com
pleted, will water thousands of acres
, of land now and and unproductive.
Is handicapped greatly by the tight
ness of the money market. Ordinarily,
eastern Oregon wheat' and stock
ranchers would be able to finance it,
but they can't help now because they
are all hard hit by the dumping into
this country of vast quantities of
Canadian wheat and of meat and
hides from abroad, duty free, under
the Underwood democratic law.
KaHtera Orrcon See Keeda,
"In eastern Oregon practically every
one is aroused to the absolute neces
sity of a protective tariff on these
articles. Present conditions, if long
continued, mean ruin for them. They
also will be even more far-reaching.
In that they will prevent the devel
opment of the country through proj
ects, such as the Teal and others
that are held up through inability
to obtain funds.
"Democratic control of the senate
would inflict a still further blow on
the irrigatlonists because Senator Mc
Nary would then lose his place as
chairman of the important Irrigation
and reclamation committee in the sen
ate. These are a few of the reasons
why eastern Oregon is more aroused
over the coming election than it has
been over any election in many years.
Harding for president, Stanfield for
United States senator, and the whole
republican ticket will receive an
overwhelminc voto in every county.

Attacks of indigestion are often the
cause of much worry because the vic

thing seriously wrong with the stom
ach. As a matter of fact nine-tenths
vt all forms of indigestion are directly
traceable to one common cause thin
blood.
If the blood is weak the process of
digestion is retarded. Food, instead
of being passed along and made ready
for assimilation by the body, remains

Headache, depression and feelings of

To avoid repeated attacks of indi

pills, a tonic which acts directly on
the blood giving it the elements which
are required to restore vitality to the

treatment is illustrated by the experi

Treasurer Adams Calls Attention to
Increase In City Expenses and
Reduction of Revenues.
Passage by the voters in recent
years of various measures the trend
of which have been to increase city
expenses and reduce the city's reve
nue are responsible largely for the
necessity of continuing next year
the special three-mill tax which was
adopted by the voters a year ago to
carry the city through the period of
high costs, according to City Treas
urer Adams.
By direct vote of the people there
was added to the city's annual ex
pense $140,000 for a two-platoon sys
tem in the fire bureau, and from $50,-
000 to $200,000 a year in the cost of
engineering street and sewer im
provements, it is pointed out. By
direct vote there was taken from the
city's annual revenue since 1912 sev
eral hundred thousand dollars, says
Mr. Adams. Among these items are
$400,000 a year for liquor licenses,
$20,000 a year interest on daily de
posits in banks and from $50,000 to
$200,000 in fees for engineering street
and sewer improvements. No provi
sion has been made by the voters in
adopting these measures to make up
for the revenue lost.
The city has been hit by high cost
the same as private households and
business houses, he says. To enable
city employes to live the city has
been forced to raise wages 50 to 70
per cent, records show. Therefore, a
given amount of work now costs 50
to 70 per cent more. Material costs
in some instances have advanced sev
eral hundred per cent.
A tabulation of comparative costs
of things used most by the city has
been prepared by the purchasing

It stands to reason that if you permit your

naturally become constipated, your blood slug
