departments relating to waterways, and |
to frame and supervise the execution of |
a comprehensive plan. Under such |
commission the actual work Of construc- |
ton might be entrusted to the reclama- |
ton service; or to the military engineers |
acting with a sufficient number of civili-
ans to continue the work in time OF war;
or It might he divided between the rec
lamation service and the corps of en-
gineers. Funds should be provided from
current revenues II It Is deemed wise
otherwise from the sale OF bonds. The
essential thing is that the work should
go forward under the best possible plan,
and with the least possible delay. The
time for playing with our waterways Is

The president urges that national
parks adjacent to national forests be
placed under the control of the forest
service OF the agricultural depart
ment; he also points out the benefits
derived from pure food legislation.

Needs Of the Secret Service.
Last year an amendment was incor-
porated in the measure providing for the
secret service, which provided that there
should he no detail from the secret serv-
ice and no transfer therefrom. The
amendment In question was OF benefit to
no one excepting to criminals, and
It seriously hampers the government in
the detection of crime and the securing
of justice. The chief argument In
favor of the provision was that
the congressman did not them
selves wish to be investigated by the
secret service men. Very little of such
investigation has been done in the past:
but II Is true that the work OF the secret
service agents was partly responsible for

Postal Savings Banks.
I again renew my recommendation

| government behind them. The object
is to encourage thrift and economy in

aggregate vast sums of money would be
brought into circulation through the In
