would only be necessary to point to the
use of the canal system in many coun-
tries of the old world; but it can be
Illustrated even better by what has
happened nearer home. The great
lakes offer prime example of the i'm
portance of a good water highway for
mercantile traffic. AS the line of traffic
runs through lakes, the conditions are
in some respects different from what
must obtain on even the most import
ant river. Nevertheless, it is we'll to
remember that a very large part of
this traffic is conditioned upon an arti-
fetal waterway, canal-the famous
500. The commerce that passes
through the 500 far surpasses in bulk
and in value that of the Suez canal.
From every standpoint 1t is desirable
for the nation to join in improving the
greatest system of river highways
within its borders, system second
only in importance I'd the highway af-
forded by the great lakes; the high
ways of the Mississippi and it's great
tributaries such as the Missouri and
Ohio. This river system traverses too
many states to render it possible to
leave merely to the states the task of
fitting 1t for the greatest use of which
it is capable. 1t is emphatically a ma
tional task, for this great river system
Is itself one of our chief national as
sets. Within the last few years there
has been an awakening in this country
to the need Of both the conservation
and the development of our national
resources under the supervision of and
by the aid of the federal government.
This is especially true of all that con-
Germs our running waters On the

First district in the case of John Me-

ton is whether mining partner can

ment. H. T. Knight appeared for the
appellant and A. G. Kerns for the re-
spondent.

It's full share in the work of leyee
building; and incidentally to its pur-
pose of serving navigation, this will
also prevent the ruin of alluvial bot
toms by floods. Our knowledge is not
sufficiently far advanced to enable me
to speak definitely as to the plans
which should be adopted; but let me
say one word of warning: The danger
of entering on any such scheme lies in
the adoption of impossible and unde-
sirable plans, plans the adoption of
which means an outlay Of money ex-
travagant beyond all proportion to the
return, or which, though feasible, are
not, relatively to other plans, of an i'm
portance which warrant their adop-
ton. 1t will not be easy to secure the
assent of a fundamentally cautious
people like our own to the adoption of
such a policy as that l hope to see
adopted; and even if we begin to fol-
low out such policy it certainly will
not be perservered In If it is found to
entail reckless extravaganza or to be
tainted with jobbery. The interests OF
the nation as a whole must be always
the first consideration.
This is properly a national move
ment, because all interstate and foreign
commerce, and the improvements and
methods of carrying it on. are subjects
for national action. Moreover, while of
course the matter of the Improvement

taries is one which especially concerns
