Wrong State Wayne Morse
Oregon's senior senator, Wayne L. Morse, is
maintaining his reputation for being consistently
inconsistent when lie now refuses to work for a
reservation of a block of federal power to Oregon
from John Day and other proposed new federal
dams,
In his letter to "Fellow Oregonians" dated De
cember 11, 1956, Senator Morse wrote: "Both pri
vate utilities and public agencies must be as
sured of an adequate supply of power from all
sources federal and their own. Private utilities
should be guaranteed a fair share of power sup
ply from new federal projects."
In his several bills calling for construction of
a high federal dam in Hells Canyon of the Snake
river, Senator Morse included a reservation for
500,000 kilowatts of power primarily for the state
of Idaho. lie does not argue, for Hells Canyon, as
in the matter of an allocation of John Day power
to Oregon, that a "fair and equitable" apportion
ment plan "would impair collaboration of the
Oregon delegation with congressional delegations
of other Pacific Northwest states in the fight "for
Columbia basin development."
Senator Morse went along with a provision in
the act under which Hungry Horse dam in Mon
tana was constructed by the federal government.
This reserved power from the dam for Montana
consumers specifically Montana Power and
Light, Pacific Power and Light, and Anaconda
Aluminum companies and Victor Chemical works
But now that projections show that by 1965 all
federal power in a minimum water year will be
withdrawn from Oregon private utilities to meet
the demands of Washington public power agen
cies. Senator Morse has a very different answer
for his own state, or rather the state which he Is
supposed to be representing.
Oregon, the senior senator says, should change
its laws to permit easier creation of preference
utilities i. e public power agencies. To get a
fair and equitable share of the energy generated
by a regional system created by the federal
government, in Morse's view, Oregon must go
whole-hog for public power distribution.
Unless Oregon submits to the public power
movement, Senator Morse is perfectly willing to
just sit back and allow 85 per cent of Oregon
electric customers to be deprived of federal low
cost power. Unless Oregon goes public power,
Senator Morse is agreeable to seeing 80 per cent
of the federal supply from a "regional" system
go to the state of Washington preference consum
ers. It now looks as if Senator Morse is represent
ing the wrong state at least, not the state of
Oregon. (Blue Mountain Eagle, John Day.)
