A j ' ' -rwm"rm icr j fry- '" ' m When President Eisenhower dedicated McNary dam he paid glowing tribute to "my good friend, Senator Guy Cordon." Can Oregon afford to lose this priceless presidential support by sending a man ' I to the U. S. Senate who would knife the Eisenhower hJ anminisiiaiioii ui i-vnj mm. V A oeoooe Cordon worked for authoriza tion of The Dalles Dam and got it started during the period of the Demo cratic no-new-starts policy in 1950 and he has the documents to prove it, Cordon has secured total appropriations of $92,676,000 which is $34,426,000 MORE than would have been appropriated had House recommendations pre vailed. IS As usual Cordon's effectiveness with both Democrats and Republicans in the U. S. Senate made possible larger appropriations than House recommendations. For this proj ect Cordon has secured a total to date of $104,766,000 $10,122,000 more than House recommendations. IlillilllS Cordon introduced legislation to authorize this project and secured funds for its continued construction while the Truman no-new-starts policy was in effect after the House of Represen tatives had refused to appropriate any funds for that purpose. mm. The 83rd Congress appropriated $150,000 for planning the proposed partnership construction of this project on the South Fork of the McKenzio river The Federal-Power-or-nothin'g crowd fought the project tooth and toenail even though the local partner was a municipal power district mam ttti.irvitoas7Zf will i s'.ism- th. The John Day Dam between The Dalles and McNary Dams I cost around S320.000.000 to build. In the last Congress Cordon introduced a bill to authorize construction of this dam with the local partners, public and private, putting up more than half the cost of dam in the form of a prepaid power contract (preference going to Oregon) and the federal government retaining 100 ownership of the entire project as a part of the multiple purpose development of the Columbia River Basin. A VOTE FOR CORDON IS A VOTE FOR THE EISENHOWER PARTNER SHIP PLAN, WHICH MEANS PAY ROLLS, PROGRESS & PROSPERITY FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST! Not so long ago Cordon's opponent the New Deal candidate for the U. S. Senate was all in favor of keeping Hell's Canyon an undeveloped wilderness. Now he wants a dam built entirely by Federal funds provided by the taxpayers of the entire United States or nothing! If this man has his way, nof on additional kilowatt ihaJf we have from fhe Snoke river unless the long-suffering U. S. taxpayer pungles up every penny! Recently this same State Senator, who now asks the voters to send him to Washington, D. C, jumped up in a meeting at Madras and stated he voted ogoinsf the proposed Pelton Dam, which would have provided power for Central Oregon and would have been built enlrey by private tapital without cosf fo the foxpoyen. He was a little confused there because the Pelton Dam proposal never came before fhe Sfafe Senate.' The Cougar dam on the South Fork of the McKenzie river is oppoied by the New Deal candidate even though the "partner" in this project is a publicly owned municipal district. Just what kind of power cfoei this man want? It can't be electric power as such be cause he opposes everything but all-out Federal ownership. We'll tell you. He wonfi a CVA with a stranglehold on the economic development of the Pacific Northwestl And the ulti mate dream of the "planners" is a Federal Power Authority to operate nation-wide and con trol every river resource in the entire U. S. Fantastic? Not at all. It is all part of a Master Plan. Eisen hower and Cordon say "let's get on with the job of develop ing the Pacific Northwest. Let 8 put our natural resources to work creating payrolls and prosperity NOW!" We need all the power we can develop through every source Federal, Private and Public! Before you vote, take a good, long look at Cordon's record. In his 10 years in the U. S. Senate he has stepped up Federal funds for water development in this area from 4.7 to 27.5 of all the money appropriated for the entire United States. Could any freshman Senator do as well especially one op posed to everything the Eisenhower administration stands for? Now what's all this guff about low coif Federal power? It's a fairy-tale pure and simple. In many classifications private power companies in Portland, Oregon sell power at lower cost than the TVA, which of course is subsidized by the taxpayers. What about the Partnership Plan? Does the government pay for the non-income features? , Yes, it does. But then it always has. There's nothing new or different sfbout that. Bonneville, McNary, The Dalles dam all multi-purpose dams built entirely by Federal funds charge off a percentage of construction and operating costs to such pub lic benefits as flood control, navigation, conservation and so on. When the New Dealers tell you 'Bonneville, for instance, is "pay ing for itself" they are nof telling you the whole truth about these "hidden" coifs! Remember, political hot air hai never yet produced a kilowatt. DON'T LET POWW POLITICS STAND IN THE WAY OF ORE GON'S FUTURE I A vote for Cordon is a vote lor the Eisenhower Partnership Plan of orderly and comprehensive development of our hydroelectric resources! It is a mattei of record that Cordon introduced the only Hell's Canyon authorization attempt which ever came to a clear vote on the floor of the U S. Senate. At that time Cordon's pro posal was opposed by the public-power-or-nothing crowd in the U. S. Senate There are other suitable dam sites on the Snake. Why hold out for one that the Congress has refused to authorize? Let's get something built arid start the generators turning! Re Elect Cordon! On the left we "t t e few ef the power proectt whUh Cordon hat lecured er hoi attempted to locure for the Palfi Northwett. We do net hove pee to begin to touch on the long llt of Irri gation proectt and rler and harbori Improvement project! which Cordon hot tecured for Oregon Including tuch proecti a Hayitack Reservoir In Central Oregon, the Tolont prooct In Southern Oregon, the Coot County end Lincoln County Harbor Improvement! and leveral Columbia river navigation Improve menti, and 'many, many ether!. foiiset fiitiSH u..
