Vote YES For Lower
Transportation Costs
Vote YES For A New
Transportation Industry
RIVER TRANSPORTATION IS ALREADY SAVING THE
PEOPLE OF UMATILLA COUNTY
$65,0C0 PER YEAR.
THIS NEW INDUSTRY IS NOW PLACING A PAYROLL OF
$150,000 ANNUALLY; IS ADDING $200,000
TO OUR TAX ROLLS.
Every gallon of^asoline, diesel and stove oil sold in the county
is one cent per gallon cheaper because of the river transportation
cf these products. Over six million gallons used in the county
annually means savings of $60,000. Annually, at least 500,000
bushels of wheat will move from this county by river, saving one
cent per bushel to total $5,000. Plans for 1941 include movement
of general commodities such as wool, canned goods, potatoes,
flour, salt, shingles, cement, etc. Savings in freight on these com­
modities should average 40 cents to 80 cents per ton, and as vol­
ume grows these savings will increase.
Within the last two years more than 100 people have been given
steady employment in the Umatilla area by river transportation.
Right now there are two large tank farms with storage capacity
of three million gallons of petroleum, one terminal grain eleva­
tor, four trucking companies maintain terminal and shops. These
figures do not take into account the number of new families that
have moved into the county. A recent survey shows that these
operations are adding $200,000 to our tax rolls. Umatilla is fast
becoming a water terminal of real consequence and in 1941 when
general commodities begin to move through this port, we can ex­
pect the above figures to be greatly increased.
The Facts About This Port Election
The purpose of a port district is to promote the de­
velopment of the district especially water transpor­
tation. If this election carries, the governor of Ore­
gon will appoint five port commissioners who will
serve one year. After the first year these commis­
sioners are elected by the public. They seive with­
out pay. These commissioners have the authority
to build port facilities, condem property, levy taxes
and concern themselves with any transportation pro­
blem affecting the district. Let’s examine this pow­
er to levy taxes. In the first year the commissioners
could levy a 10 mill tax by law if they could show
adequate need for this money. Such a levy will not
be made because, in the first place there is no con­
ceivable need for that amount of money. The gov­
ernor appoints those commissioners recommended
by the group who sponsor the election, in this case
the Umatilla County Farm Bureau. The farm bu­
reau has publicly stated that it will have appointed
commissioners who are large tax payers themselves,
who are conservative men, and who will agree be­
fore appointment that in no event will they levy
MORE THAN ONE MILL TAX THE FIRST YEAR.
After the first year the six per cent limitation law
applies, limiting the budget increase to not more
than six per cent of the previous year’s budget.
What Good Can a Port Do for the County?
The first and most important job of the port is to en­
courage private capital to put in adequate facilities
to handle the water commerce. The commissioners
can assist this private development by: (1) Seeing
that there is always adequate river frontage; (2) by
providing rail connections with the river docks; (3)
by getting federal aid for harbor improvements; (4)
by encouraging new industries to move into the area.
Umatilla is the water gateway for all eastern Ore­
gon and southern Idaho, and the tonnage of freight
going in and out is tremendous. Should the future
develop so much tonnage that private docks cannot
handle it, the port is in position to see that sufficient
dock space is available. The port commissioners
are also in best position to see that the public gets
the benefit of the lowest possible rates by river
transportation. Establishment of this port district is
bound to aid the development of river transporta­
tion which is our only hope of ever obtaining lower
freight rates here in the interior. It is not necessary
to spend a lot of money—no one wants to do this—
because the benefits can be accomplished without
large expenditures. Now that we have the means of
effective river transportation, let us see that we
make the most of it for the benefits will go to all the
people, not just a few.
