Washington. May 20. With th ten
dency toward retrenchment In nationa!
oxpendltures tt may be found difficult
to oure the appropriations actually
rtqulred for merltoriug projects for
river and harbor work. Oregon Is
grnatly Interested In this question and
specially because of the improvements
In Columbia river navigation which are
In' contemplation and under way.
Senator Chamberlain as chairman of
the subcommittee having these appro
priations In charge has met with very
gratifying success thus far in his ef
forts to keep all of the Oregon items
in the bill, and he has even secured
some increases over the original recom
mendations. The verdict of the sub
committee, however, will still have to
run the gauntlet of criticism and pos
sible objections itj the whole' commit
tee, after which the bill will steer a
somewhat perilous course on the floor
of the senate.
Columbia Mouth Improvements.
Because of the many uncertainties
attending legislation at this session,
Senator Chamberlain has shown some
reluctartce about announcing what
recommendations have been agreed on,
but It may bt suUl that the subcom
mittee has .agreed to indorse the
amendment to the rivers and harbors
bill. Introduced January 12 by Sen
ator Chamberlnln, putting the improve
. ment of the mouth of the Columbia on
a continuing basics and making the lim
it of cost $5,100,000. This amendment
reads as follows:
"Continuing improvement and for
maintenance, including repairs and op
eration of dredge (act or March 4, 1913,
vol,s37, page 820. section one), 1,000,
000 : Provided, That the secretary of
war may enter into a contract or con
tracts for such materials and work as
may be necessary to complete said
project, to be paid for as appropria
tions may from time to time be made
by law, not to exceed In the aggregate
$4,100,000, exclusive of the amount
herein appropriated."
Ian Asks Smaller Amount.
Apparently not knowing of the
amendment offered by Senator Cham
berlain, Senator Lane on April 13 last
.also Introduced an amendment fixing
the limit of cost for this work at J4,
'000,000, but as the bill already car
ried an appropriation for $1,000, )00
which would be superseded by the
adoption of the amendment, the result
of the adoption of the Lane amend
ment would have been to make the
limit of tost $4,000,000 Instead of $5,
100,000 as proposed in the Chamber
lain amendment. On this account the
Lane amendment was not considered
by the subcomtnittee. 1
Senator Lane's amendment was to
Insert in the rivers and harbors bill
on pnge 4!, line 15, after the amount
Stated, the following language:
"Provided, That the secretary of
war may enter into a contract or con
tracts tor such materials and work as
may be necessary to prosecute the said
project, to be paid for as appropriation!
may from time to time be made by
luw, not to exceed In the aggregate
$4,000,000, exclusive of the amount
herein and hereinbefore appropriated."
It is needless to say that both Ore
gun Henatdrs will do everything they
caiv to steer this provision safely
through tho senate. Senator Cham
berlain has already secured the adop
tion of his amendment by the subcom
mittee, as stated, and he has every
hope of having the action Of the sub
committee sustained when it is re
viewed by the full committee.
