(EDITORIAL) It is a disgrace to the Pacific Northwest that its combined congressional delegation cannot muster strength enough to force action on the Smith-MeNary bill, | It is still more of a disgrace that our senators and congressmen do not even seem to be TRYING very ener- getically to get the measure passed. Or to be greatly concerned over their impotence. Where is that great influence due to their seniority, of which Senators Poindexter and Jones tell us at elec- tion time? Why isn't it being exerted today in a ne shove to bring this vital reclamation measure into life WEATHER Tonight and Tuesday, fair; gentle winds, mostly southerly. — Temperature Last M4 Hours Maximum, 53, Minimum, 43. What is Congressman Miller doing? and Hadley and the rest? Here is a measure, essential to the welfare of the Pacific Northwest, of major importance to the future prosperity of the entire nation—a measure which bears the explicit approval of President Harding and the man- date of the last republican platform—languishing help- lessly, hopelessly, in committee! Just because there is not statesmanship enough, or energy enough, or dogged perseverance enough on the part of somebody in congress to insist upon action!
