WASHINGTON, d. c., July 22.-The
Waterways Commission of ten, whose
members sail soon for a two months
trip in Europe, has to bear the brunt
of vast deal Of chatting around the
Capitol. Like most Senators and Rep.
resentatives about to depart on a Com.
mission junket, all are going rather re.
luctantly, wish the trip was done with
and that sort of a thing. The wits Jest
with them about ascertaining the direc.
ton in which flows the river Rhone
and investigating the shade of the
moonlight on the Rhine and SO on ad
infinitum.
Whether the Government will ever
get a quid pro quo for the money it
discusses as expenses for these five
Senator'S and FIVE Representatives, or
for as many of them as take the luxu.
rious journey over Britain and the con.
tinent may be open to question, and
yet there is no doubt that some Of the
Commissioners are earnestly studying
important subjects in connection with
waterways. Senator Burton, of Ohio,
for instance, is too serious minded a
man to go gallivanting to London, Der.
lin, Vienna and from the gates of the
Danube to the mouth of the Rhine ON
government junket for the love of
travelling at government expense. As
much can be said of Representative
d. s. Alexander, of Buffalo, who is to
be chairman of House Rivers and Har.
bors, now that Mr.. Burton has been
promoted to the Senate.
One inquiry a committee of the Com.
mission intends to probe is the reason
for the decline of river transportation
of freight between points where there
is railroad competition. That is a very
vital matter in connection with the
great proposition for the improvement
of waterways, especially in view of a
recent statement by a big traffic man
at Pittsburg that if the Ohio River
were improved at a cost of about $780,
100000 to make a nine foot channel
to the Mississippi, the improvement
could not be utilized because of the
excessive wharf charges imposed upon
steamers both by private and municipal
owners.
Similar conditions are found on other
large American rivers, so that wharfage
facilities become quite as essential as
deep channels. Congress, if it is to
legislate on recommendations made by
this Commission, can not ignore the
probability of the government pro-
posed investment being nullifed by
such obnoxious local conditions. The
doleful story of railroad rates lower
than water rates, wherever there is
serious competition, has required again
and again throughout the United
States, as well as the story of railroad
owned steamers driving old and estab-
lished freight boats out Of business.
England has had Commission study.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1909-08-06
WATERWAYS COMMISSION TO
TAKE EUROPEAN JUNKET

/ ing these very problems for some time.
Its members are now in session at Lon.
don. If the Commission can sail by
the very end of July, it's members ex.
pect to encounter the Engishmeu In
London and ascertain whether they
have acquired any views about
the situation which they did not
feel like putting upon paper in
their exhaustive reports. The trans.
portation history of English rivers has
been very like that of American rivers.
Competition has been throttled on
every hand by the railroads. The rivers
have been allowed to fill with silt and
sand distractions, the canal system has
gone to decay.
Quite the contrary has been true of
Germany where the railroads are owned
by the state. The Kaiser's country is
said to have the best and commercially
most efficient canals of any nation OF
the world and the rivers are utilized
more extensively than elsewhere tor
carrying cargoes. The water routes in
France, where the railroads are con.
trolled by the state, are also valuable
adjuncts of a very large interior com.
merce. These known facts raise the in
quiry whether the investigations of the
Commission are likely to incline its
Senators and Representatives to recon-
mend to Congress stricter regulation of
American railroads; also whether their
Investigations may not give impetus to
the issue of government ownership.
The Congressional travellers have a
comprehensive itinerary, which will
take them to most of the big rivers of
Europe and to the best of the canal sys.
tens. They will explore the Rhine, the
Rhone, the Danube, the Woser and pos
sibly the Loire. They will take cool
voyages by water and hot rides by rail
in traversing expanses between Berlin,
Vienna, Budapest, Usovo, Belgrade,
Strasburg and Rotterdam.
The Senate's Commissioners are Bur
ton, of Ohio; Gallinger, of New Hamp-
shire; Smith, of Michigan; Lorimer, of
Illinois; Piles, of Washington; Sim
mons, of North Carolina, and Clarke,
of Arkansas. Those from the House
are Alexander, of New York; Stevens,
of Minnesota; Wanger, of Pennsyl-
vania; Sparkman, of Florida, and
Moon, of Tennessee. Lorimer was
originally named as commissioner of
the House, where he was then serving.
He will not accompany his colleagues,
but may join them in about a month.
Clarke of Arkansas will not go at all.
That leaves a party of ten.
They are not charged with formulat-
ing legislation, and except as individual
members of their respective branches
of Congress, have no authority to pro-
pose bills for the Improvement of water
ways in compliance with ideas they
gather while abroad. But it is expected
that Congress in making river and har-
Dor appropriations hereafter will be
guided by their recommendations.
