NavienbIe Waterwny..

The following resolution providing for
the Improvement OF all the navigable
waterways OF the country was offered BY
Governor Fishback OF Arkansas and refer
red to the committee on resolutions:
Whereas The navigable waterways OF
the United States are under the exclusive
control OF our National government and
unlike our other transportation facilities,
are the property OF all the people and open
to the free use OF all commerce, and.
Whereas, The condition OF many Of these
stream is such as to render not only navi-
cation unsafe and In many instances inn
practicable, but at the same time to rem
der their oyerfiows much more d disastrous
to life and property than II properly cared
for by the power which has control of
them, as signally illustrated by the last
years appalling overflow of the Brazus
river in Texas. and
| Whereas The expenditure OF one half as
much money in the improvement of the
streams as has been donated to private
transportation companies for securing
needed facilities of our inland commerce,
would render every navigabe stream in
the United States navlgable the year round
except when and where impeded by ice,
| therefore,
] Resolved, That It Is the sense OF this
1 Congress that the United States govern
ment can in no way subserve the general
welfare OF our country to so large an eS-
tent as by the adoption and earnest prose-
| cution OF a comprehensive and systematic
plan of improving at whatsoever cost, our
/ National waterways SO as to render them
navigable at all seasons of the year ex-
cept when and where impeded by ice.

Whereas. The functions of our consular

merce, and should therefore be regarded
as branch of Agreat business enterprise,
and administered strictly on business prln-
ciples; and.
Whereas, The rapid growth and increas-
Ing Importance Of our foreign commerce.
specially demand men OF the best business
qualifications and uusullied regulations
who will command alike the confidence
and respect Of all who have business with
them; therefore
Resolved, That the TransmissIsslpui
Commercial Congress urges such thorough
organization OF our consular service as 10
secure the most efficient service 10 our
business interests, and II believes that this
can be best accomplished by hasing ap-
pointments on experience, ability and
character. unbiased by any political con-
sheraton thus assuring that EFFICIENCY
which is only attained by extended exps-
rience. With this end in view Il urges upon
its representatives in congress the parsage
OF bill No, 1926, now pending in the house
OF representatives.
