! 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.

MAKING THE ACTIVE MAN PAY IT ALL .
ARIOUS so called tax reducing plans need careful
analysis. 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.
