APPROPRIATIONS Money is needed for the south jetty at the mouth of the Columbia and when that is .completed a north jetty will be required. Government aid is required to open up the Columbia River at Celilo and beyond. Assistance is desired from the Governmnet to deepen the Willamette above the Oregon City iocks and deepening of the Willamette will be of material benefit to every farmer and town resident south of the locks. Oregon's harbors, such as Tillamook, Nehalem, Siuslaw and Coos Bay must have help from the Government if the vast resources of those districts are to have commercial va'uft brought to market. , '- ' . ,. Cities and towns wishing new Federal buildings must look to Washington; Everywhere in Oregon, good roads must be constructed, and the Government has ap pointed a joint commission to prepare for enactment a law for Federal aid for. a good. roads campaign, an enterprise that will cause, tbe government to spend billions of&Jttars ultimately. What do the Chambers of Commerce and the Boards of Trade in every city and town of Oregon pass resolutions for whenever they hold a congress ? Appropriations. , t Appropriations can only be secured in sufficient sums by having someone in Washington: who can present the needs in a manner to bring results. It can only be accomplished by a man influential on committees and on influential committees. - - - ..r...:,., - . - Jonathan Bourne is on the Appropriation Committee. He is the only Senator that Ore gon ever had who succeeded in securing a place on this committee.- The late Senators J.-.N.' Dolph and J. H. Mitchell, who served several terms in the Senateserved longer than1 any other men Oregon has had represent it at Washington never managed to obtain a place ort this committee, and ye,t Jonathan Bourne is a member in his first term. Is it wise, is it good business sense, to defeat Bourne for re-election when he is now in a position to secure the very appropriations that the commercial organizations ask, and the natural resources of the v State need? No new man in the Senate can expect to be placed on, the Appropriation Committee, for it j is a coveted position. Now that Oregon has Bourne on this committee, the first Senator to AYe such a place sinceOregon became a Statei do you think yqushould send another man arid lose" this prestige? Cbmm " . . . ' ' .
