STRONG PLEA FOR
DEEP WATERWAYS
ST. LOUIS MAN SHOWS ADvANT-
AGES or THE PROPOSED IN.
pRovEMENT OF THE MlssIs.
SlPPt RIVER.

Chicago April IA scheme for the
vast Improvement OF the Illinois and
Mississippi valleys was outlined be-
fore the City club by DR.. W. J. Me-
Gee of st. Louis, member OF the ma
tional commission on the waterway
project recently appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt
The address Of DR.. Niece was an
argument in justification Of the great
project to link Chicago with the Gulf
~ Mexico and thereby to secure out
let for the products OF Chicago to the
Pacific coast by means OF the Panama
canal.
Referring to President Roosevelt's
letter on the subject Of the canal com
mission. DR.. McGee showed that
there was great value 10 the public
not only in deep water channel be
tween the lakes and the gulf. but also
in the Utilization of the power Of run,
ming water and the prevention OF soil
washing throughout the Mississippi
valley.
$50 great work as the proposed
waterway should be as self-support-
ing as possible. | can conceive that
this shall be done. Lock dams should
be constructed that will not burden
commerce but yet shall yield a proper
revenue. Returns from water use
might be so regulated as to give back
part of the cost Lands in the south
ern part of the Mississippi valley now
practically worthless because they
are swamps. can be drained and made
worth 500 to $500 an acre.
There is no good reason why the
waterway should not be made a use
full and paying proposition as com
mercial venture. Our railroads are
overcrowded, and vet one-tenth of the
$l7.000,000.000 spent in railroad CON
struction would produce infinitely
greater results. We must not only
enlarge means Of transportation, but
we must relieve the tyranny of trans
bortation.'

MANYUSELESSvOLUMES
concluded from First Pags.,

many important committees and the
ministerial officers of the senate and
house. For instance. the law limited
the cost OF hearings of any committee
TO $500. The railroad rate hearings
cos $4,000. Another instance was
cited where the cost exceeded $4,000.
all under $500 limitation.
No Limit to Orders.
There was no limitation on the
number of copies to be printed. II
was not possible TO print important
hearings at all under the law. The
railroad rare hearing took place i'm
der recess of congress and the pub.
lie printer had to disregard the law
of tie the hands of the committee.
The law as to the cost having been
disregarded many committees felt
free TO pint without limit as TO num-
bels. This was corrected and no
committee can now print in excess of
LOCO copies of any hearing.
No officer of congress had authority
To order the reprinting of bill pend
ing before congress. and even the
joint committee on printing could au.
lhorize reprint only to the number
of 900 copies. The McCumber pen
sion bin was reprinted fifteen times
In three days. sending the form back
to press each time. but not even the
joint committee could order the re
printing of leaflet of law. and il re-
quired the time of the senate and the
house To act on such matters.
Time and Money Wasted.
In one instance fully $4,000 worth
OF time was occupied in debating the
question whether copies of a reprint
costing less than s. should he dis
tributed entirely through the docu.
ment room or partly through the fold
lne room. Printing of this kind is
now comltted 10 the secretary of the
senate and the clerk Of the house.
Under the rules of the senate and
the house when a document is refer
red 10 a committee il is printed un
less otherwise specifically ordered.
neither the vice president nor the
speaker could have any means of
knowing the probable cost OF such
printing. Under the new law the de-
parm ent or official submitting re-
ports to congress must acc lmpany
them by an estimate Of the probable
cost of printing. Then congress will
be acting with It's eyes open. In one
instance recently a report involving
an expenditure Of sG0.600 was ordered
printed through the automatic action

ence 10 the committee on printing.

committee after s25.0o0 had already
been expended and further work was
