EK«'’«-*-
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, not one additional

f THE DALLES DAM i
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.
CHIEF JOSEPH DAM
As usual Cordon’s effectiveness with both Democrat*
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
ALBENI FALLS DAM
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.
COUC AR
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 against the proposed Pelton Dam, which
would have provided power for Central Oregon and would have
been built entirely by private tapital without cost to the taxpayers.
He was a little confused there because the Pelton Dam proposal
never came before the State Senate!
The Cougar dam on the South Fork of the McKenzie river is
opposed by the New Deal candidate even though the “partner”
in this project is a publicly owned municipal district.
Just what kind of power
does this man want? It can’t
be electrit power as such be­
cause he opposes everything but
all-out Federal ownership.
We’ll tell you. He wants a
ing U.
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
to the U. S. Senate who would knife the Eisenhower
administration at every turn9
DAMw»
The 83rd Congress appropriated $150.000 for planning
th«* proposed partnership construction of this project on the
South Fork of the McKenzie river. The Federal-Power-or-
nothing crowd fought the project tooth and toenail even
though the local partner was a municipal power district
L
JOHN DAY DAM
1---------- ---
e-
The John Day Dam between The Dalles and McNary Dams
will cost around $320.000.000 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
the dam in the form of a prepaid power contract (preference going
to Oregon! and the federal government retaining 100% ownershin
of the entire project as a part of the multiple purpose development
of the Columbia River Basin.
CVA with a stranglehold on the
economic development of the
Pacific Northwest! 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’s
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 cost 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 about 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 not telling you the whole truth about these
"hidden ’ costs!
Remember, political hot air has never yet produced a kilowatt.
DON'T LET POWER POLITICS STAND IN THE WAY OF ORE­
GON'S FUTURE!
A vote for Cordon is a vote for the Eisenhower Partnership Plan
of orderly and comprehensive development of our hydroelectric
resources!

It is a matter of record that Cordon Introduced the only
Heli s ( anyon authorization attempt which ever came to a clear
vote on the floor of the U. S. Senate. At that time Cordon’s pro-
f sisal was opposed by the public-power-or-nothing crowd in the
U. S. Senate I here are other suitable dam sites on the Snake.
Why hold out for one that the Congress has refused to authorize?
