SENATOR SNOOT ON BIG
WATERWAY PROJECT
Not Committed to Government Under
taking Stupcndous job 10 Make
Mississippi Navigablc.

PROVO, Nov l1.--scnator Smoot
returned from his trip TO the south
with President Taft yesterday. The
senator enjoyed the trip down the
Mississippi and his brief visit among
the people In the southland, and
spoke in most arpreciative terms Of
their generous hospitality. A banquet
was given in his honor NJ New
Orleans by members OF the sugar
growers association and further en-
tertalnments were prepared which
lack OF time did not permit him TO
accott.
one Of the questions OF national inn
portance considered by the presidents's
party, as has been stated by the press
REPORTS was the Improvement Of the
Mississippi as navigable stream, and
preventing its overflow. This project
Senator Smoot cosidors so vast and
involving questions OF feasibility that
II requires "a great amount OF study
and Investigation
He said "'rho cost OF that under
taking has far less to do with its
advisability than the question as to
whether the Improvement once made
would be permanent
1T IS one thing to read about that
project, and quite another to consider
the matter with the material to work
with In sight When ] looked over that
vast water course with its sandy bot
tom and dirt banks. and realized some
thing OF the enormlTy OF the under
taking. I questioned more seriously
than ] had ever done before its feast
bility. and ] have some reason TO be-
licve that there were others in the par
~ who returned feeling much as l
did about IT,
''rho people OF the Mississippi valley,
as one reason for urging the under
taking, use the argument that IL would
prevent the railroad from charging ex-
orbitant freight rates. believe that a
four track road could be built on each
side of the river for the cost Of the
proposed river improvement, and with
"A handsome balance left over"
On the question OF local politics, the
senator did not care to express any
views owing to his absence for some
time, but said on the question OF pro-
hibition.
In regard TO prohibition and legis-
latiOn on the subject, I can only say
that my attitude has not changed I
hold the same beliefs 1 have always
held. II a majority OF the people want
prohibition. I say they should have II.
If IL Is possible to have the real thing"
Senator Smdot will remain in Utah

ests for two weeks, returning 10 Wash
