have eight members of congress. The
five named have 129.
The 22 states west of the Missis
sippi river are almost three times the
size of the 26 east of the Mississippi
river, but the 22 states have 131
members of congress while the 26
eastern states have 304 members.
In all questions where the east and
west differ what chance would our
west have with congress supreme and
final in making the laws.
The 74,000,000 people living east
of the Mississippi river must within
a very few years depend almost en
tirely for their timber products upon
the Pacific coast states. The cost
of transporting our lumber from the
Pacific coast ports to Atlantic coast
ports is from $12 to $18 per feet less
by water than it is overland by rail.
Already large distributing yards for
western manufacturers are being es
tablished along the Atlantic coast and
the lumber now passing through the
Panama canal runs from 30 to 40 mil
lion feet per week.
Only the larger ports along the Pa
cific are big enough to receive ves
sels of sufficient tonnage to justify
the long trip through the canal and
it is imperative that all our harbors
at the mouth of streams, where the
water sheds are covered with timber,
should be improved sufficiently to
justify the entrance of vessels large
enough to economically carry timber
products to the market.
It will cost several million dollars
to improve the harbors on the coast
of Oregon, but the expenditure is
justified and will save many times
the cost in reducing the expense of
transportation.
Our government is already burden
ed with public debts slightly over
twenty billion and it pays approxi
mately one billion per year interest.
We also have an annual charge of
$400,000,000 to care for disabled ex-
service men. These are both items
of expenditure that did not prevail be
fore the war, but must now be met
in addition to the ordinary govern
ment expenses.
If we should add to this public
burden the cost of buying and operat
ing the railroads it would, without
doubt, seriously affect appropriations
for harbor improvements.
The improvement and development
of Tillamook harbor is essential to
the growth and prosperitv of both in
dustry and agriculture in Tillamook
county. Serious consideration must,
therefore, be given to the question of
