By F. C. Harley, Mayor of Astoria.
Washington, D. C, March 26. 1
have been making a "little journey,"
as Elbert Hubbard used to call it, to
that mammoth marble pile, the abode
of the "quick and the dead," the Na
tional Capitol.
I acknowledge obligations to Hon.
Alvan T. Fuller, Congressman from
Massachusetts, for some of the in
spiration for the excursion, Being
President of the Packard Motor Car
Co., of Boston, and accustomed to do
ing business according to the Ameri
can method, Representative fuller,
having been an official occupant of
the south wing of the Capitol for a
few months, has made a discovery.
First, he discovered he was a member
it a commutes (Expenditure in the
Interior Department) which, as he
expressed it, had "no public business
to justify its existence," and, second,
discovered there were sixty standing
committees of the House, "more than
half of them as useless and unneces
sary" as the one mentioned. Fuller
tendered his resignation as a member
of the committee named, in a letter
to Speaker Champ Clark, Feb. 25th.
Incidentally, in this letter, he
handed the House of Representatives
a package of hot stuff. He raised a
ruction. The "dead" began to res
surrect and walk about in their
grave-clothes, talking Incoherently
Fuller laughed; so did all Washing
ton.
I Immediately wondered, what
about these '"quick" and "dead" com
mlttees, and how fares it with our
Oregon Congressional delegation in
this line-up? I made a hasty survey
of the situation, with the following
results: Oregon has memberships In
the senate on these committees all ac
tive and Important: Military Affairs,
Agriculure and Forestry, Appropria
tions, Coast Defenses, Commerce, In
dian Affairs, Irrigation of Arid
Lands, Manufactures, and Public
Lands (two members on last named).
It has membership on five other com
mlttees, but, as they are practically
"dead ones" it is unnecessary to name
them. In the house it has represnta-
tives on Ways and Means, Naval Af
fairs, Public Lands, and Irrigation of
Arid Lands, all alive and kicking.
With this bunch of picture cards
In their mitts, you'd fairly expect the
Oregon Congressional delegation to
win a few "pots," wouldn't you?
Let us analyze the game,
A Senator or Representative who
falls to get his work in at committee
meetings misses more than half his
chance to win, for it Is there that
bills are whipped into shape for con
sideration by the Senate and House.
Sure, he has another chance in open
session, but he has discarded his best
cards. It's like drawing to a deuce.
How did Oregon fare in the Mili
tary Committee? In no way that you
could notice. Yet that commtitee
considers every particle of army ap
propriation and army expenditures.
An Oregon Senator is chairman of it.
Yet Oregon got no military post and
no army cantonment. There is no
better place on the Pacific coast for a
great military post than Fort Stevens,
or, passing the deal, Vancouver,
Wash,, near Portland. Oregon of
fered several splendid sites for army
cantonments; it got zero.
In a special sense the Committee
on Agriculture and Forestry looks af
ter the interest of the farmer, but I
notice that, while the farmers of the
South were well taken care of by this
committee, the Oregon and Western
farmer generally is overlooked. This
committee, also deals with Forestry
matters. A little action by the Ore
gon member might have brought the
state's forest reserve timber largely
into use for shipbuilding and airplane .
manufacture. Nothln' doin.
From the Appropriations Commit
tee Oregon got a little "small change"
for Crater Lake Park, its two fish
hatcheries and its two life-saving sta
tions. Looks like this committee had
declared a moratorium on Oregon
payments.
Coast defenses? There is where
we do not shine. We still have one
coast defense left, Fort Stevens, sup
plemented by two forts on the Wash
ington shore of the Columbia. A sin
gle super-dreadnaught of the type of
the four that Germany is about to
"borrow" from Russia could reduce
all the coast defenses of the Gateway
of the Columbia basin without at any
time being In danger itself. I'm tell
ing no secret, for this situation Is as
well known to our enemies as to our
selves.
River and Harbor? Appropriations
for this service, as well as for water
ways in general, are handled by the
Commerce Committee in the Senate.
How we have fared in that bill I have
already pointed out in a former ar
ticle. We got $350,000 out of twenty
millions. We should have two mil
lions. What are our members on the Pub
lic Lands Committees doing? We
certainly got a rotten deal on the
Oregon & California Land Grant
Bill, and that's about all that's been
doing in that committee of late, af
fecting Oregon. The committee room
has the air of a cemetery; but I sup-
pose the clerks draw their salaries as
usual.
The Irrigation question I dealt
with in my last article. Our repre
sentatlves stood pat on a pair of
travs. Montana walked off witlt over
twelve million and Arizona seven
teen. We got less than five million,
though we put in over ten. The dif
ference was in the kind of represen
tation Montana and Arizona had.
Indian Affairs? We haven't even
been able to get appropriations for
Improvements and needed new build
ings for the largest modern Indian
school in the Northwest, Chemawa.
Our Indian Affairs representation is
cultus."
I will pass up the Ways and Means
Committee of the House, because our
member there only took his appoint
ment at the beginning of the present
session. If the chance is offered, ne
should work and vote to remedy the
iniquitous burden of taxation im
posed on the North and West by the
Kitchin bill.
I will speak of the Naval Affairs
Committee, however. The Congress
man who represents us on that com
mittee Is supposed to be a "live one.'
But I've not noticed that he got us
any naval base appropriation for the
mouth of the Columbia. That's the
thing he should work on now, if he's
working this year. We may serious
ly need that naval base if the scene
if naval artlvlties is transferred to
the Pacific ocean on account of the
Russian situation.
i By the way this Congressman and
one of his colleagues were offered a
place on the River and Harbor Com
mittee of the House, and both turned
it down, though it is the most import
an committee, from Oregon's stand
point, in the list. Why did they do
it? If there is any voice coming from
the tombs, perhaps we shall have an
answer later. But it looks to me that
a very great opportunity to serve our
state was thrown away by these gen
tlemen.

SOME GOOD ADVICE
Strengthened By Heppner Exper-
iences.
Kidney disease is too dangerous to
neelect. At the first sign of backache
headache, dizziness or bladder disor
ders, you should give the weakened
kidneys prompt attention. Eat little
meat, take things easier and use a
reliable kidney tonic. There's no
other kidney medicine so well recom
mended as Doan's Kidney Pills.
Heppner people rely on them. Here's
one of the many statements from
Heppner people.
Mrs. A. G. DeVore says:" Speaking
from past experience, I gladly recom
mond Doan's Kidney Pills. I know
they are a medicine of merit and I
couldn't recommend a more reliable
one."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy get
Doan's Kidney Pills the same that
Mrs. DeVore had. Foster-Mllburn
