ON WATERWAYS

washington, Dec. S.-The National
Rivers and Harbors congress was
opened in this city today with rous-
ing address by President J. r. Ransdell.
He said in part:
I'VE must make the people who elect
the congressman and the state legisla-
tors understand that water transporta-
ton is much cheaper than rail for
heavy, low class. bulky articles. We
must make them understand that a
well improved system of canals and
rivers with standard depths along our
seaboard and interior would furnish
admirable Facilities for moving freight
and prevent the congestion which caus-
ed such heavy losses three years ago
and threatens to recur We must
teach them that most Of the terminals
on the water courses are owned by one
or more railroads and used for selfish
interest with scant regard for the pub
lie welfare.
"This situation will be changed as
soon as the people demand it. 1t is the

see that the demand lis made imme-
diately and strongly. We must insure
a comprehensive policy of improve
ment Of the tion's waterways by an
annual appropriation Of $4,000, 600 Sc
cured by an authorized bond issue of
$50,000,O00 year to be used only when

This is a financial programme fully
warranted by The magnitude of the in

Let us protect our water courses
from improper rail competition, with
state and national laws to the end that
this great natural resource may be used
to assist in solving our transportation
problems, the simplifying of which
means increas I'd growth and prosperity
to every community in the nation
Those are the tasks before u.s."
President RansdefT declared that the
railroad interests of the nation have
treated the Improvement of waterways
with indifference and silence and he
said he feared their position would
strengthen the advocates of govern
ment ownership Of the railways, all
though he said he wished to go on rec
ord against government ownership OF

AS a good friend of the railroads
which I consider the most marvellous
agents Of civilization and progress on

warning and insist that the strongest
weapon Of defense against this menace
of government ownership, is the best
possible transportation system for the

wheat a sale on the sentiment of the
statistics although we regard them as
aggravated. We believe In buying
corn on the weakness but do not look
for heavy profits.

develops and details are received
from Argentina wheat market will
continue nervous and strained sub
iect to rapid price changes and broad
fluctuations.
Ware & Leland: Buy corn on all
dips but have some on hand all the
time for the BIZ bulges. later on. May
oats are not h4sn. Buy some on a lit
tie dip. For long pull, sell May pork
and ribs.
Walter Fitch & Co.: We continue
friendly to long side of wheat, pre-
ferring purchase of May on the de-
cli.es
John H. Wrenn g. Co.: We believe
that reactions will be only temporary
and that so long as the cash wheat
stays at n premium the Nay wheat is
a better purchase than a sale. The
corn situation looks strong.
Finley, Darrell & Co.. We would
not hesitate to make purchases of
wheat on all natural reactions as we
feel confident ultimately prices will
work much higher.
Harris, Winthrop & Co.: The people
who are buying wheat on the breaks,
get a chance to take profits and it
looks as though they might continue
to until we find the demand keeps up.
