SOIOns Head for the Big Town
Where Laws Are Made.
MANY CONFERENCES BOOKED
River and Harbor Congress-, Country
Life Comm Ission and Lot Of Other
Conventions In Sight.
Especial to The Free Press.1

Washington, Nov. 30-Congressmen
from all over the land are arriving
in Washington today and several for
NAL conferences are in progress. By
the last of the week, the gathering of
the legislative clans will be practically
complete.
Aside from the solons, many inf1u-
entail men are assembling in the capt.
tai city to take part in the many big
and next. The first of these meetings,
beginning tomorrow, will be that OF
the national conservation commits
sion, organized as result of the con-
ference called by President Roosevelt
last spring. Addresses by President
Roosevelt and the president-elect are
expected.
How Commission Is Divided.
The commission is divided into four
classes A committee of thirteen is In
charge of the improvement of streams.
Another committee of like number
has the care of the forests. Still an
other committee of thirteen has the
direction of efforts to prevent the
has charge of mineral resources. That
is devoting itself now to the more eco
nomical mining of coal.
The southern commercial congress
is expected to bring from 1000 to
1900 business men from the south
to this city. The south has need of
river and harbor improvements, and
the meeting of southern business men
is expected to devlop into as much of
a waterway discussion as the gather
ing of the river and harbor congress,
of which Representative Ransdell, of
Louisiana, is president. That con-
gress is to meet here on Dec. IL, II
and l3.
Country Life Commission.
But before it comes the country
life commission. That will be on
Dec. s, and it will be an adjunct of
the conservation congress from which
it sprang. That is what has been
facetiously referred to as the uplift
commission which, at the behest of
President Roosevelt, is to take the
American farmer lby the scuff of the
neck and hoist him to a higher level.
The river and harbor congress is
the body that will produce the most
interesting situation. The advocates
of the lake-to-thegulf deep water
way think the congress should make
a defnate Endorsement of that pro-
ject. Hitherto the congress had held
that it's object should be merely to
create sentiment throughout the
country which would warrant con-
gress in passing an annual river and
harbor appropriation bill of $5O,OO0,OOO.
There are other projects that look
just as good to their proponements as
the lakes-to the-gulf plan, wherefore
it seems probable that the proposal
will provoke debate.
