subterfuge to veil the Old Guard's

As a Citizen of Oregon, You Need
the Port of Portland.
If you owned a store you could not make a big success unless
your business methods were as modern as your competitors'.
Unless Oregon develops her shipping facilities she cannot expect
. to get her share of the world's business. It rests with the citi
zens of this state whether Oregon shall develop her wonderful
resources and reach out for bigger markets, or remain practical
ly an inland state.
To become a real port, a 30 foot channel must be dredged
in the Columbia and Willamette Rivers from Portland to the Pa
ific Ocean. This will enable farmers, stockmen and lumbermen
in the interior of the state to reach the markets of the world at
a lower freight rate and greater profit to themselves.
The taxing and bonding power' to make these improvements
