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.
