One of the most notable gatherings
ever assembled in the history of this
country i'll the interest of waterway de
yelOpment was called to order when
the National Rivers and I;arbors Con
gress met at Washington in fifth an
nual convention. The congress is ma.
tional in its purpose, representing all
sections and all waterways, and is en-.
deavOring to impress Congress with the
necessity OF a comprehensive policy for
improving rivers, canals and harbors of
the nation. Senators, representatives
diplomats, captains of finance. governors
of many States and others high in Off
cial life were present
President Ransdell in his opening
address said Congress should appropri-
ate $50O00,000 for waterway improve
ments. Mr.. Ransdell declared that the
evidences in favor of improved water
ways has been especially marked dur
ing the last twelve months. In speak
ing of President RooSevelt'S efforts in
this direction he asserted that Mr.
Roosevelt is the first President to give
special attention to this subject and
advocated it forcefully in messages to
Congress. He mentioned the fact that
both of the leading political parties
as well as most of the others, declared
in their platforms in favor of improv-
ing the nations waterways on liberal
and comprehensive lines.
In extending to the congress cordial
welcome to the city of Washington.
Vice President Fairbanks said it was
obvious that the improvement of our
waterways had not kept abreast of our
industrial needs and our national prog
reSs. The time has arrived. he said.
when we must give to the subject of
securing adequate transportation ia
cilitieS at a minimum cost intelligent
and effective consideration In dis
cussing the cost of improving American
waterways the Vice President said that
as much of the benefit to be derived
from the expenditures would be for the
future a reasonable share of the
amount should be provided for by a
bond issue, so as justly and equitably
to distribute the burden among all the
benefciaries of the expenditure

CARED that the main reason for Con

only criminals. he stirred up the trOu-
BILE. While the more deliberate Senate
was quietly planning a rebuke to the
President, the House acted openly.
The resolution providing. for the re
