under the conditions involved
Powers Of States Limited.

Experience has shown" continued
private enterprise or even for the states
individually. to proceed beyond certain
narrow limits in their dealings with the
drainage problem. The powers of the
states are necessarily confined to their
own commemorative. and the powers OF
drainage districts are also limited owing
to the difficulty in securing consistent
legislation In adjoining states. Most Of
the larger drainage problems involve in
terstate and navigable streams. and. re-
gardless of any legal questions which
may be involved. the joint cooperation
OF the federal government and one or
more states becomes necessary in any
large undertaking for the reclamation Of
these swamp and overlooked lands
In dealing with this problem the COM
mittee having the bill In charge have
involved and have framed a measure
which they believe will provide means for
the draining of all wet lands where the
engineering features involved are at all
feasible. regardless OF the ownership of
these lands. Where there are lands in
United States which are swamp or over
flowed lands. and it shall be made to
appear to the Secretary of the Interior
that reclamation works by drainage can
be advantageously constructed and main
tanned by local authority under the laws
of such state. and that the drainage Of
such lands is feasible and conducive to
public health and the general welfare the
Secretary Of the Interior. in his discre-
ton, Is authorized. under such rules and
regulations as he may prescribe, to loan
out OF the drainage fund to such state or
to any municipality of such state. or
drainage district authorized by the laws
thereof, to construct and maintain such

improvements the funds necessary to
construct the same. in order that such
lands may be drained and reclaimed: the
said loan to be put upon the bonds OF
such state, municipality or drainage dis
trict; the Secretary to have full power
to prescribe conditions under Which the
government will purchase such bonds.
and he will thus be able 20 inform HIM
self concerning the engineering and
financial feasibility of the plans of any
project proposed. 1t is contemplated by
the bill that the government shall be
fully protected and at the same time the
Secretary OF the Interior shall nave power
to exercise such discretion as will enable
to the widely differing conditions found
In various parts of the United States.
Engineering Factors Involved.
'The drainage of swamp and overfiowed
lands presents no insurmountable engi-
neering features, though 1t does involve
engineering and physical factors. the con-
troll of which may extend beyond the area
Immediately under consideration, and any
great project Of wet land reclamation is

erning the irrigation OF arid lands. the
construction of inland waterways the
prevention of floods. the conservation OF
water or any other important engineering
development. II such work Is to be prose-
cuted intellgently the actual construction
must be preceded by topographic surveys,
measurements Of stream flow. considera-
ton Of the capacity OF channels. both
natural and artificial. investigation Of
geologic conditions and the study OF all
the related phenomena of a climatological
nature. The work Of carrying out pro-
jects involving all these features can be
prosecuted only by a corps of competent
engineers and presents the strongest evil

THE prospective value of reclaimed

cannot be here computed but it is well
known that for farming purposes re-
claimed swamps furnish by far a greater
store of available plant food and would
therefore make a greater crop yield per
acre than any other class of land.
What Has Been Done Abroad.
I'm passing this drainage bill we would
be giving well deserved. though some
what tardy. recognition to a subject
which has received attention In many OF
the European countries for a number OF
years. England. France. Germany and
Italy have each enacted liberal and COM
prehensive drainage laws to aid in the
formation of drainage districts. These
laws apply to drainage both for sanitation
and agriculture, and provide the means
the work. In the Netherlands where
pra ctically all of the agricultural work
land Is too low for natural drainage
massive sea bikes have been constructed
TO prevent inundation Of large areas from
the sea. and in the interior also bikes are
common feature. being built to protect
portions Of land from the lakes or rivers.
or to enable swampy tracts Of land to be
reclaimed by draining. the water being
commonly pumped up by windmills Yet
the entire area Of the Netherlands proper
which has population OF nearly 5,OOO.OU
people, Is but 1858 square miles, while

United States, as has been stated. COM
prise more than a million square miles
and has been estimated as high as 49,

What the Bill Will Accomplish


IF this bill had been passed" went on
the senator from California, lit would
have provided means for utilizing more
than hundred thousand square miles OF
swamp and overfiowed lands. which are
now to large extent useless. and in
many cases worse than useless because
they are a menace TO the health OF the
localities In which they are situated and
restrict the general Improvement and de-
velopment of the country
The area of the swamp lands in the
United States which can be reclaimed is
variousiy estimated at from sixty to
eighty million acres, and the best in
formation obtainable indicates that the
latter figure is more nearly correct II
we take the three states of Illinois Indi-
ana and Ohio, for example. and suppose
that they were transformed into one great
swamp we would have some convention
of the vast amount Of otherwise fertile
agricultural land now going to waste he
cause there IS no adequate means Of
drainage and reclamation.
In passing the reclamation act Com
gress made available for the DEVELOPMENT
of the western portion OF the country tho
proceeds from the sales of public lands
In these states, and the success and value
Of that work will be conceded by any
one who has given the subject considera
ton or visited any of the irrigation prot
ects which have been completed or are
nearing completion. The reclamation act
however. did not make provision for the
development OF the very large area OF
swamp or overlooked land that is to be
found in other sections of the country.

Committee Decides on Character Of

The Crosby Stuart Moves memorial
committee, of which Commissioner Mac
farland is chairman has determined that
it will have made a heroic bronze bust of
Mr.. Noyes, to be placed in the District
building. and has determined to give the
commission to William Copper.
The we'll known New York sculptor has
made the statue of Longfellow and is
making a statue of John WitherSpoon,
both to be erected on Connecticut avenue,
in this city. Mr.. Copper has had special
success with portrait busts.
The committee gave him the commits
sion after examination and inquiry as to
a number of such bustS he has made In
New York and which have given special
satisfaction because of the likeness. Pro-
vision will also be made for suit able
