SENATOR
FULTON
EAST
Astoria, fire.. H't. 27. l!0fl. (Edl
tor K'ist Or. ironlaa. i My attention
has been called to an article In your
paper of the 20th Instant. In which
you afsert that I am wrong in my
contention that the government Irri
gation works should, in every Instance,
be let to the lowest bidder and con
structed by contract, and you state
that "the people suspect that Senator
Fulton opposed the action of Secre
tary Hitchcock to build the Umatilla
d.im simply because It Is being done
by Secretary Hitchcock."
I shall continue to believe, until
further testimony Is produced to the
contrary, that the people do not large
ly so suspect and that you would find
it extremely difficult to produce a
substantial reason for entertaining the
suspicion yourself. If, Indeed, you
really do entertain It.
Whenever I have any criticism to
offer against, or attack to make on
Mr. Hitchcock, or any other person,
I shall not proceed Indirectly.. I will
make It so entirely clear about whom
I am talking that It will not rest in
suspicion. I am In the habit of call
ing things by their proper names.
I have. It Is true, on occasion ex
pressed regret that Mr. Hitchcock
should entertain such bitter hostility
against Oregon, and Oregon Interests,
as he does, but I had no thought of
that in criticising the policy of non
contracting the Irrigation work. You
say "Oregon's money has gone Into
the reclamation fund by hundreds of
thousands of dollars, nnd the state
should have been enjoying the fruits
of that fund long ago." I agree with
you.
Whose fault Is It that we have not
"been enjoying the fruits of that
fund?" Other states and territories
that have not contributed one-tenth
part of the amount to the fund that
Oregon has, have had assigned to pro-
Jects within their borders several
times the amount that has been ap
portioned to Oregon projects. The
secretary of the interior Is charged
with the duty of apportioning the ,
fund. This Is one fact that I have
many times cited as evidencing his
hostility to Oregon. Still I have not
supposed that the adoption nf the pol
icy of government construction was
due to nny such hostility, nor do I
ascribe It to any improper motive.
I do not suppose. Indeed, that Mr.
Hitchcock had much. If nnythlng. to
do with the ndoptlon of that policy.
He approved the project, and subor
dinate officials are charged with car
rying It to completion. In protesting
against that policy I was moved en
tirely by a desire to secure the com
pletion of these works at the lowest
possible cost, In the Interest of the
settlers who will. In the end have to
pay the cost.
You say. "The people want the dam
built as iqulckly as possible." True,
but they want It ns cheaply ns possi
ble, ns well, do they not? Now you
doubtless know that whatever protest
against the pollcy"of not contracting
the work mny be entered, will have
no Influence In tho'matter of the con
struction of the dam in question. The
government has already entered upon
that work nnd will, of course, prose
cute it to completion. My protest Is
against a continuance of that policy.
Settlers Must Pay.
You are aware, of course, that the
entire cost nf the project Is assessed
against the land reclaimed, hence
every dollar saved in construction is
a dollar saved to the future settler.
Is It not my duty to watch nnd see to
It that the cost Is kept down to the
lowest possible figure? I have been
told thnt In the Klamath country some
of the government representatives are
telling the people that, no mntter
what the actual cost of that project
shall be. the cost to the settler will
not and cannot exceed the original es
timate of $18 nnd some cents per
acre.
I cannot believe that any represen
tatlve of the government Is responsi
ble for the statement, as it is entirely
untrue. If the cost shall ultimately
amount to $25 per acre, that Is what
It will cost the settler. But some peo
ple ask, "Do you want to delay the
work, or cause the project to be aban
doned?" I answer, certainly not. nnd
there Is no danger of causing either
the one or the other, by Insisting -on
the policy, of contracting. The Uma
tilla nnd Klamath projects have been
approved, entered upon and will be
carrl"d to completion. The question
Is, at what cost? I want that It shall
be at the lowest possible cost.
Government Is Xot "101011!."
But yon sny, "The government can
do work just as quickly, Just ns effi
ciently and more cheaply thnn a con
tractor." All experience Is against
you. Nor Is It necessarily to the dis
credit of the government officials that
such Is the fact. To engage In such
work the government must acquire a
plant, tools, machinery, horses, etc.,
and the entire coHt much be charged
to the project, for the government Is
not In the contracting business, hence
cannot, when the work Is completed,
or In the meantime, take other con
tracts, and thus divide the cost of the
plant among numerous works.
When a contractor has completed
his contract, his plant Is to him a val
uable asset, to be employed on future
contracts, whereas the government
must dispose of Its plant for whatever
It will bring, and the loss is charged
to the cost of the project.
Furthermore, construction work In
all Its details Is a business distinct In
Itself, as much so as banking, mer
chandising or farming. Think you
that one who has not made a business
of farming or banking can operate
the one or the other as economically
as one who follows It for a livelihood?
Go' on any work being prosecuted
by the government and observe the
number of foremen and superintend
ents, with their aids and assistants,
nnd then go on a similar work prose-

observe, not only the difference l':
the number, but. as well. In the style

In the river and harbor Improve
ments, for Instance. It Is. so far Bs 1
have been able to Investigate the
matter, universally conceded that the
most economical and expeditious con
struction Is secured by letting the
work out to contractors,
I do not pretend to say that any bid
submitted on the Umatilla dam should
have been accepted. It mny be that
they were all too high. In such case
a pilvnte party would have called for
further bids. Possibly there was a
combination among bidders. If so,
and the government was convinced
that such was the case, It might be
justified in undertaking the work It
self, but only In such case would It,
In my judgment, be justified in so
doing.
Take for Instance the Klamath
ditch which, it Is said, the government
Is proposing to construct without
contracting the work. Rids were In
vited, but construction was required
to be completed by May. 1907. That
was utterly Impracticable, nnd private
parties would not bid. The govern
ment declined to waive that require
ment and proceeded to assemble a
plant to do the work Itself.
I understand the officials now ad
mit they cannot successfully prose
cute the work In the winter time and
are transferring, part at least, of the
plant to Umatilla. All such mistakes
must ultimately be paid for by the
settler. I do not make these criticisms
In any spirit of nnklndness.
I raised my voice against the policy
of non-contracting as soon ns I heard
of it, because I feel that I know It

es not follow that they can conduct

they could not do so, because the cost

do so? Simply because they are not

A weak stomach and Its resulting

pletely cured.
It Is a sin to deprive oneself of en
joyment In life and become a burden
to others through indigestion.
The backaches, headaches, distress
after eating, loss of appetite, gulping
up of undigested food and gases are
not natural. Ml-o-na stomach tab
lets used for a few dnys before meals
will so strengthen the digestive or
gans that you can eat anything you
want without fear of distress or re
sulting sickness.
The directions for taking Ml-o-na
emphasize the difference between this
remedy and the ordinary medicine
that Is given for Indigestion. Ml-o-na
is to be used before meals, strength
ening the digestive system for tho food
which Is to be eaten, while the ordi

simply digests the food without
strengthening the stomach.
Tollman & Co. have so much faith
In the merit of Ml-o-na that they sell
it under a guarantee to refund the
money, In case It does not cure. A
BO-cent box of Ml-o-na will do more
real good than a dozen packages of
the ordinary remedies sold for indi
gestion. Then, too, It costs nothing
unless It cures.
