lie health. If the policy of waterway
improvement is carried out, it will af-
feet for good every citizen of the re-
public. The National government
must play the leading part in securing
the largest possible use of our water

should assist, but the work is esen-
TALLY national in it's scope.
Congress could provide some admin
istrative machinery for coordinating
the work of the various departments
so far as it relates to waterways.
otherwise there will not only be de-

to get from our streams the benefits to
which they are justly entitled.
Distribute the Cost.
"The commission recognizes that the
cost of improving our inland water
ways will be large, but far less tnan
would be required to relieve the con-
gestion of traffic by railway extension.

IMPROVE THE COLUMBIA
For National Defense.

The development of our inland
waterways will have results far be-
ylnd the immediate gain to commerce.
Deep channels along the Atlantic and
Gulf coasts and from the Gulf to the
Great Lakes will have high~yalue for
the national defense. The use of
water power will measurably relieve
the drain upon our diminishing sup
plies of coal, and transportation by
water instead of rail only will tend to
conserve our iron. Forest protection,
without which river improvement can
not be permanent, will at the same
time help to postpone the threatened
timber famine, and will secure US
against total dearth of timber by pro-
vidng for the perpetuation of the re-
naming woodlands. Irrigation will Gre

Jury Fails to Award Money Due From
Italian Renters.

The case of George and Hattie E
Barber versus Pehquali Nell, ct al,
came up in superior court yesterday
afternoon and went to the jury this
morning at 9 o'clock.
The plaintiffs asked for $500 which
they claimed was due them for delin-
uuent rent on % acres of land.
The Italians, of whom there were
|eight defending the case, claimed tina;
water had not been furnished them &C
cording to contract and that as re-
suit they lost many thousands of dol
lars worth of vegetables.
A decision was rendered in favor OF
the defendants.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1908-02-26

ed In support of the immediate aiop-
| ton Of progressive policy of inland
waterway development.
"The first condition of successful de.
lvelopment of our waterways is a def
mite and progressive policy. Every
portion of the general plan should
consider and SO far as practicable Sc
cure to the people the use of water for
power, irrigation, and domestic supply
as well as for navigation. No project
should be begun until the funds ne
cessary to complete it promptly are
provided, and no plan once under way
should be changed except for grave
reasons. Work once begun should be
prosecuted steadily and vigorously to
completion. We must make sure that
projects are not undertaken except for
sound business reasons, and that the
best modern business methods are ap-
|plied in executing them. The decision
to undertake any project should rest
on actual need ascertained by investi-
cation and judgment Of experts. and
on it's relation to great river systems
or to the general plan, and never on
mere clamor.
1.-THE Improvement of our inland
WATERWAYS can and should be made to
pay for itself so far as practicable
from the incidental proceeds from
water-power and other uses. Navi-
cation should of course be free. But
the greatest return will come from the
increased commerce, growth, and pros
perity of our people. For this we have
already waited too long. Adequate
funds should be provided, by bond is
sue if necessary, and the work should
be delayed no longer. The development
of our waterways and the conservation
of our forests are the two most press
ing physical needs of the country.
They are interdependent, and they
should be met vigorously, together,
and at once The questions of organ
ization, powers, and appropriations are
now before the congress. There is ur-
gent need for prompt and decisive &C
|tion.'
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1908-02-26

where and as they please, wholly WITH
out compensation to the public. Yet the
effect of granting such privileges,
taken together with rights already ac-
quired under State laws, would be to
give away properties Of enormous
value. Through lack of foresight we
have formed the habit of granting to
monopolies on navigable streams and
on the public domain.
1.-THE repurchase at great expense Of
water rights thus carelessly given
away without return has already begun
| in the east, and before long will be
necessary in the west also.
No Perpetual Rights.
No rights involving water power
should be granted to any corporations
! in perpetuity, but only for length of
! time sufficient to allow them to con-
duct their business profitably. A rea-
sonable charge should of course be
made for valuable rights and privileges
which they obtain from the national
government.
'The values for which this charge is
made will ultimately, through the nat
ural growth and orderly development
of our population and industries, reach
enormous amounts. A fair share of the
increase should be safeguarded for the
benefit Of the people, from whose labor
it springs. The proceeds thus secured,
after the cost of administration and
improvement has been met, should
naturally be devoted to the Develop
ment of our inland waterways.
1.-The commission was appointed to
obtain information concerning our
waterways as related to the general
welfare. Much work was done, but
for their development can be pre-
pared in detail We need additional in
the condition of channels, the amount
and cost of water traffic, the require
ments for terminals, the area in each
watershed which should be kept under
forest, and the means of preventing
soil waste and the consequent dam
age to our rivers But it is neither
necessary nor desirable to postpone
the beginning of the work until all the
facts are obtained. We have suffered
heavily in the past from the lack of
adequate transportation facilities, and
unless a beginning is made promptly
we shall suffer still more heavily in the
future.

Improve Coast Rivers.
The Mississippi should be made a

should be begun at the earliest possible
moment. Only less important is the At
lantic inner passage, parts of which
are already under way The inner pas
sages along the Gulf coast should be
extended and connected with the At

lveloping of the Pacific-coast rivers is
not less pressing. Our people are unit

The benefits of such improvement will
be large also, and they will touch the
daily life Of our people at every point,
uniting the interests of all the states
and sections of our country. The cost
and the benefits should be equitably
distributed by cooperation with the
states and the communities, corpora
tons, and individuals beneficially af-
fected. ......
Conserve Water Power.
"There is no other which threatens,
or has ever threatened, such intoler-
able interference with the daily life of
the people as the consolidation of COM
panies controlling water power. I call
your special attention to the attempt of
the power corporations, through bills
introduced at the present session, to
escape from the possibility Of govern

people These bills are intended to en-
able the corporations to take possession
in perpetuity of national forest lands
