At Long Last the Umatilla Rapids Authorized
The long-delayed Omnibus Rivers and Harbors
bill has finally passed the United States Senate. The
Senate added a few small items to the bill as passed
by the House of Representatives and these must be
ironed out in the conference committee when the
measure will go to the president.
The bill provides authorization for post war work
in 44 states at a cost of five hundred million dollars
—over one tenth of which is for the Umatilla (or
McNary) dam, which ranks Number One for con
struction.
Ordinarily this should be the occasion for celebra
tion in our part of the world. But we have become
inured to patience and delay, supported by our as
surance that the dam would finally be built—and
even yet we must wait for the “go” signal. After
more than 25 years of public effort toward which
the citizens of these communities have contributed
much money and time, we find ourselves at the point
of being rewarded—and well rewarded.
To those who have contributed in funds, time and
good will, and to thousands of new-comers who will
be benefitted, we can say prepare for a big boom
during construction and permanent improvements
and developments. It may come perhaps in the near
future—and at least, very soon after the war breaks
in Europe.

Taxation Without Representation
Once again the west end of Umatilla county has
failed to receive representation in the official af
fairs of Umatilla county. We hope to have another
chance of recognition in a week or two.
During the past 40 years this part of the county
has succeeded in electing or having appointed seven
men out of about 200 chosen during those years. It
is not that we haven’t tried, but because we have
not received enough votes east of Rieth Ridge. Most
of those elected or appointed have served four years
—or a total of 800 term years. In this end, except
for one man who served four years, the terms have
been only two years, or a total of 16 term years.
The entire official family now lives in Pendleton
or right by. In the meantime we have created many
millions of dollars in tax valuations out of raw sage-
brush lands and have developed a wide variety of
interests that should have closer representation. It
was alleged in Pendleton Tuesday evening at a
meeting that the men chosen there were fair minded
and well represented all parts of the county. Let's
see, wasn’t that what England said before the Bos
ton tea party?
