HOW LONG, OH, HOW LONG SHALL OREGON BE PARAD
.ED AS THE FOOL OF THE FAMILY?
The people are interested to know that the appropriation to help
the federal government to construct the free locks and canal at
Oregon City is still available, according to the statement of Gov
ernor West. The history of the long struggle for free locks and
canal at Oregon City has been told so many times the people are
pretty familiar with it.
Under the Pennoyer administration the time lapsed for inde
pendent state ownership.
The state lost its right to take over the property.
Some years ago the matter was again taken up by the Willam
ette Valley Development Leagueand Open River Association, and
the legislature was about to act, on a bill for state ownership.
Congressman Hawley '-opposed that and took the position that
the state and the federal government should share the expense.
That prevailed and the rivers and harbors committee took the
position that the Willamette being entirely within the borders
of the state, unless the state took the first step the federal gov
ernment would not act.
So several successive legislatures were induced to put up the
$300,000 appropriation conditioned on congress passing a bill to
purchase, acquire by condemnation or construction of an entirely
new locks and "anal. This was done.
For two years the matter has dragged, and the U. S. engin
eering department has decided to locate a new locks and canal
on the east aide of the river on the Oregon City side.
EDITORIAL PAGE
This, the Oregonian has shown, would involve destruction of
business property and power sites, and a total expense for mere
right of way of about two million dollars before there wa3 ever
a dollar spent digging the canal.
No more effectual way could be adopted to block and defeat the
whole enterprise than to locate it on the east side of the river.
It would involve the whole matter in litigation in the federal
courts, and take years of litigation to determine the mere matter
of right of way.
Is this in the interest of transportation, or in the interest of
corporations that do not want an open river with free transpor
tation through the locks and canal?
Let any business man or producer or shipper in the Willamette
valley think for a moment, and he will come to the conclusion
that there is only one logical place for the locks and canal, and
that is where they are now located.
The big interests, through their agents and attorneys, have
undoubtedly found a way to paralyze the efforts of the people
who want an open river.
The west side of the river has locks and canal that can be en
larged and can be acquired.
The people appreciate Governor West's manly word? to the
effect that the state is willingand ready, and has the power to
do its part what is necessary tobreak the embargo on water
transportation for Western Oregon by remoivng fifty cents a ton
lockage charge, and all other charges that are taken in the form
of toll, and which make continuous passage of freight and pas
sengers on the river from Portland south into the richest terri
tory on God's fo'tstool almost impossible.
We need more state and federal officials like West, who ener
getically and everlastingly take the producer's side of this mat
ter, and are not half-hearted about it.
Congressman Hawley will have to explain some matters
about his connection with the free locks and canal.
He was accused by the Portland Journal with having let the
matter fail in the house, and then the appropriation was put
into the bill in the senate.
If the Portland Journal is not merely making political capital
out of this Congressman Hawley should awaken to the import
ance of this matter, which has dragged about long enougn, ana
some one is responsible.
A congressman should not require jabbing and prodding on a
matter vital to the producers of Western Oregon.
The people of Oregon are paying tolls that in the aggregate
amount to sums estimated at $100,000 to $200,000 per annum.
The congressman from this district should not be indifferent
about so great a matter.
It should not be allowed to drag two years longer, and then
fail for trickery and jobbery at the hands of the agents cf the
interests who do not want water transportaation into the heart
of Western Oregon.
The Willamette river has practically been kept closed to- traf
fic by neglect and indifference, and the people have paid the
bill.
Not one good, hearty protest has been uttered at this delay,
and at this outrageous dilly-dallying with the free locks and ca
nal at Oregon City, that should stir the blood of a congressman,
if he has a drop of red blood in his veins.
There is complaint that Oregon gets almost nothing for re
clamation work.
States like Idaho, Washington, Wyoming and Montana are get
ting from five to ten millions per annum to develop government
irrigation plants, and Oregon is happy to have a million or two
million, or even not to have Oregon projects condemned.
Oregon is made the fool of the family by these lackadaisical
politicians who only do a little hollering about a thing to get re
nominated and re-elected, and then subside and put up no fight
for Oregon interests for two years.
The people are sick and tired of such representation, and the
Republican party has had to bear the load of the helpless par
alytic styles of statesmanship that goes limning about on crutch
es, while more active delegations walk off with the pie.
How much longer shall the development of the state drag by
the heels, while the representatives fail to deliver the goods and
are petted and made much of by the corporations that profit bv
their indolence and failure to fight for the interests of the state
and the cash accounts of the producer?

Salem, Or., Sept. 9, 1911.
Kd. Jounrnal: In a recent Issue of
the Statesman, our mayor Is quoted
as saying we should not try cases In
tho newspapers. If we did not get
such facts as are printed In Tho Jour
nal, how would we know whnt Is go.
Ing on. If you attend tho council
meetings all you hear is "hot air,''
and ouo gets disgusted with the
school-boy actions of some of Its
members.
Regarding the Asylum avenue
contractor personally, I do know that
contractor personiill. I do know that
ho hns not been treated right. He
had his curb all In, ready to grade,
when tho electric line started to
work, throwing most of their dirt
on the side, same as on State street.
Instead of hauling It awny. After
they were finished the water company
enmo along with a big main as far 03
Seventeenth street, then, when ev
erything Is practically ready for him
to go ahead, they try to hold him up.
It was the same way on D street, It
was all graded and stone on the street
when along comes the water com
pany, digs It upthe full length, and
has held that street back as well.
Another thing I have noticed that In
tho whole length of D street the city
has failed to give the property hold
era any fire protection, as the only
hydrant on tho street Is at Seven
teenth and now should they put In
hydrants they will have to tear up
the street. I would also advise signs
to be put up at each end of Winter,
Summer and Cottage streets during
fair week, so as to notify those desir
ing to get to the fair grounds that
those streets arei not passable.
They talk about the Welch line
holding up Improvements, what has
the Hill line dome at the Intersection
of High and I'hemeketa? Where In
the West will you find a city that will
allow any Arm or corporation to tear
up a street its full length, as Che
meketa and State streets now are?
You are trying to make a city, but
all you are Is an overgrown village.
We possibly expect too much of our
mayor, hut I happened to be present
at the time of his Installation, and
what he has promised and what he
has done well, think It over.
Yours for Improvement,

IN THE JAIL
Two prisoners In the city Jail, Sul
livan and Pugh, arrested on minor
charges, had a vigorous argument in
the city prison Tuesday night, and
Sullivan won. Sullivan likes Salem's
damp night air, and insisted on keep
ing the window raised In the "bed
room' "of the jail. Pugh was cold
and Insisted the window be left down
Argument led to blows, and the two
men stepped around pretty lively for
a few minutes. The window was left
up, and Sullivan Is still enjoying the
balmy ozono which "works while he
sleeps."
An Item In a local paper recently
Intimated that street fights should
be prevented. A city hall offlctal, at
that time, asserted that this was Im
possible, even If a patrolman was
placed In every block In town. The
fight In the city jail cinches the fact
that as long as men have different
opinions, and have muscle and grit
enough to back them In their argu
ments, fights will occur even on the
floor of the police station. It Is said
that "a brother Is born to adversity,
and men were bom to light," and, In
keeping with these predictions, men
still continue to wage war, sometimes
In the roped arena, again In the po
litical Held, in the editorial columns,
police courts and battlefield, men still
scrap, and Sullivan ami Pugh were
only using their heaven-given privi
lege In fighting for what they thought
"their rights."
