Copyrighted for the East Oreconian Pub. Co. ! A RIP VAN WINKLE STATE IN the last issue of Oregon Voter it is pointed out that Ore gon is far down in the procession so far asi water power development is concerned though no state in the union has greater potential water cower resources. A tahle is triven showing recent applications for water power permits and Ore gon is credited with two applications whereas 35 applications have been made in California and 12 in the state o'f Washington. " Over the nation a total of 129 applications have been made for the development of estimated horse power running above the 12 million mark. The following is in part the comment of the Voter on this" general subject: A Keneral idea of the magnitude of twelve million horsepower may be Rained by considering that if properly applied it would furnish sufficient power for twenty cities the size of Chicago. It is probably forty per cent more than the present power development in' the -I'nited States. It is a third more than the total water power capable of being developed in the entire area of France, and fully fifty per cent of the developed water power cf the world. . i Estimated conservatively at an average of $100 per horsepower, the installation of the projects now applied for would involve an investment vi i,.vu,uuu.uuu. While some of the projects doubtless represent only me uopes or tne applicants a very considerable portion of them will eventually le developed". Some of the larger ones will be constructed in stages with the work extending over a period of years as market requirements demand The applications indicate nevertheless a movement of capital toward water power as a reconstruction measure, which at this time of depression in industrial, building, agricultural and other lines, is significant. Electric power generated from water and transmitted under modern conditions is the only effective present substitute, in any reasonable measure, for power generated by the burning of coal for use in industry and transportation. The conditions familiar io everyone which have arisen during the past few years from increasing cost and difficulty of production of coal and from interference with it3 distribution by strikes and- railroad congestion, demand the use of this substitute, which is wholly independent cf fuel supply and of rail or water transportation and js largely independent of labor difficulties once installations are completed. That these basic con ditions are keenly realized and appreciated alike by government and capital in foreign countries since the conclusion of the war is apparent from the reconstruction work now in progress and the efforts being made to cut down consumption of expensive fuel by the utilization and development of water-power resources. "But we wish more of it for Oregon; what's the answer" says the Voter. The answer is easy. Oregon is too complacent regarding its undeveloped opportunities. Oregon is asleep at the switch while California, Washington and Idaho are busy. Many be lieve the chief fault rests with Portland. Being the metropolis Portland is logically the captain of the team. But Portland is more agile inpassing the buck than in running with the ball and is often disposed to be derogatory of any other town that seeks to make yardages for the state. But the blame is not all upon Portland. We are all afflicited more or less with the same disease. We devote barrelsfull of attention to petty poli tics of one sort or another and but little attention to real honest-to-goodness plans for development. Just as long as this policy i3 continued we will pay the price. We need to awaken. We have a water power meeting scheduled for Umatilla on January 26 and it is proposed to have another meting at a later date in Pendleton to discuss the same subject the development of power at Umatilla rapids. Maybe we can get something started. SAFETY FIRST!

Often they will reveal Ethiopians in the wood- pilei In other words the purpose is not to reduce ex penses but to shift the burden to the shoulders of other. There are for instance big timber land owners and other large tax payers in Oregon who want road work done but they would like to escape any share of thecost. They would like to have the motor car owner pay it all in license fees. The car owner already is bearing almost the entire burden of state highway work. He is paying more than his share. A fair share of the burden should be met through general taxation so that all may contribute to the expense of this development from which all the people are gainers-including timber land holders. The legislature should not be rushed off its feet by every contingent that requests a lowering of the general tax. When the tightwad taxpayer escapes hi3 just share of the expense it means that a greater and greater burden is put upon the shoulders of others more active in business and more ambitious for the state's progress. Reports from Salem are that the straight party ticket scheme is again talked of. It is a proposal that looks to carrying weak or unfit candidates into office on the strength of the party label. We have enough of that at present without adding to the affliction. The last congress was extremely niggardly in appropriat ing money to care for wounded men and but for vigorous action by President Wilson only half the money now available would have been provided. It was part of the program to make trouble in hopes of laying all the blame on Wilson ard it worked. This is the time for snow and cold weather if we are to have any. Loosen up Major Moorhouse, the small boy has had little chance with his sled so far. (Kast Oregoninn Special.) ' CMAriNE, Jan. II. On Wednea. day evening Mr. and Mrs. J. E.
