and particularly large portions of the states of Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri and Arkansas. Enormous
 damage and destruction is being caus-
 ed by the floods in these states, espec- tally in the valleys of the Red and Arkansas rivers. The losses amount to millions of dollars, more than i enough each year to cover the cost of construction of dams and reservoirs to hold the surplus waters. At Pine Bluff, Ark, the flood is causing {. leaving of the main business district of the town into the river, entailing
 heavy losses which are multiplied many times by the destruction at other points along the stream. The same thing is true of all the streams in that region. There is no occasion for delay in providing the remedy. The disastrous experiences of the past are a sufficient warning and at the same time afford ample justification for direct and immediate steps to pre- vent such disasters in the future. It seems so stupid as almost to be sin ful to suffer such destruction as this to occur every year when the remedy lis so simple and feasible. An intelli- gent people should not sit supinely idle in the face of such situation, especially when it is considered that
