DENT RoosEvELT's WATER.
WAYS COMMISSION.

Washington.-An annual appropria-
Of at least $50, 100000 for the improve.
ment and development OF the Internal
waterways of America is the gist of the
recommendations of the Rivers and
Harbors Congress. which concluded its
sessions here Friday. No particular
project was advocated by the conven-
ton. the recommendations of the COM
mittee on resolutions which were
adopted unanimously being that ma
tional policy for the Improvement OF in
ternal waterways be adopted by the
Congress of the United States.
The resolutions recite that the time
has come when the policy Of the fed
cral government toward waterways
over which 1t rightly has supreme con-
troll. should be mare liberal, persistent
and continuous than heretofore; that
as n result of intermittent action meri-
ferrous works OF Importance begun
many years ago are still far from COM
pletion; that appropriations for rivers.
waterways and harbors have been
made at intervals of three years IN
stead of annually.
Therefore the congress resolved:
"First-That we earnestly urge the
adoption by the federal government OF
n wide. liberal and comprehensive wa
terways policy that will provide for
the proper improvement within the
next ten years OF the rivers. WAGER
ways and harbors OF our country.
by present and prospective benefits
to commerce.
"Second-That without presumlnS to
prescribe the engineering OF the imam
cial details OF this great undertaking,
this congress strongly urges upon the
Congress OF the United States the im-
portance OF the immediate adoption OF
comprehensive plan OF waterway I'M
prcvement. OF the carrying on 81 the
work by adequate number OF engi-
neers and OF such liberal appropria-
tons annually as will insure the early
completion of such projects as may be
undertaken.
.Third-That we cordially indorse
the action OF President Roosevelt In ap-
pointing a special inland waterways
commission, being confident that It's
report will prove source of accurate
and valu. bile information to the Amer
lean people. We further recommend
that Congress enact such laws as Will
make the inland waterways commis-
sion permanent. and will provide 1t
with necessary authority for its In
vestigations and recommendations.
The following recommendations we're
made for officers OF the congress:
President, Joseph +. Ransdell, LOU

planning that under present laws his
hands are virtually tied when financial
crises arise. He says that II he resorts
TO unusual measures at such times he
is severely criticised. even though his
efforts be successful, whereas the lack
OF laws adequate for emergencies Is re
sponsible. His only suggestions in this
respect are that he be given more dis
