SYSTEM OF WATERWAYS
YEARLY PROVISION TO BE MADE

Il believe the river and harbor bill.
be the most comprehensive, business
like and satisfactory bill ever passed by
1.-THE rivers and harbors committee.
I'm the words of the President it will
be the Inauguration of the new system of
inland waterways
In these words Representative Joseph
E. Ransdel of Louisiana, member of
the committee, and president of the
National Rivers and Harbors Congress,
set at rest rumors that have been flying
about to the effect that the bill would
fail to make generous provisions for
projects now on the books Of the En-
|gineer Corps.>
Annual Bill Favored.
Early in the sessions of the committee.
particularly since the committee has
been in executive session, it became
apparent that the members were general
ly in favor Of making the river and har-
Dor bill an annual, instead of biennial
Tor triennial, as has been the practice
for number of years past.
The members of the committee real
lied that the old-time method of sporadic
give way to more intelligent handling
|of the question of waterway improve
ments. The bill, which probably will be
reported to the House early next month,
will mark the beginning of new order
|of things relative to waterways.
The bill will carry a provision for main
tenance of rivers and harbors for only
one year, instead of two to three years
as formerly. 1t will make radical de-
parture in fixing time for the compile

ment of the Engineer Corps.
BY this method of treatment the yearly
character of the bill, it is hoped, will be
Established 1t will appropriate only for
the current year and fix limit for the
completion of distinctive projects.
Upper Mississippi Project.
Corps of Engineers that it will require
about twenty millions to improve the
upper Mississippi from st. Louis to ST.
Paul. They believe that about one and
|one-half millions can be used annually
on this river, which would complete the
project in twelve years.
Hence it is expected that the bill will
carry in the neighborhood of this sum
in cash to be spent during the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1911. Each year there
after appropriations will be made Of a
sum sufficient to finish in twelve years.
BY this method we'll accepted projects
will stand a chance of completion within
"a reasonable period, whereas the bill Of
1907 carried for the upper Mississippi
only 100000. This sum, annually appro-
priated, would bring this project to COM
pletion in about forty years.
It is thought that the improvement of
the Mississippi from Cairo to the gulf
will be treated in similar manner. A
time will be fixed for it's completion
say twenty years-and an appropriation
[of sufficient amount-probably four mil
lions, as recommended by the engineers
will be made. which will make the COM
pletion of the project possible within the
time limit.

Demand for Annual Bill.

An annual river and harbor bill has
been demanded by the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress since its organiza-
ton, in 1901. In season and out it has
fought for a yearly budget dealing with
waterway improvements as the only sure
method of bringing about the completion
of projects within a reasonable time.
The adoption Of the. annual feature by
the committee in the bill shortly to be re-
ported Is tribute to the campaign of
education which the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress and kindred associa-
ticns has carried on SO earnestly.
In voicing his satisfaction over the
adoption of this new policy, for which he
has stood ever since he entered Congress,
Mr.. Ransdell said:
II am of course much elated over the
annual features of the bill and its formal
declaration that important projects should
be pushed to completion as rapidly as pos
sible consistent with good business meth
DDS. The committee undoubtedly feels
and appreciates the work that has been
done in educating the people to the ne
cessity of inland waterway improvements.
THE committee has always desired to
place it's bills upon the high plane to
which they are now approaching, but up to
this time 1t has not had sufficient support
from public opinion to sustain IL, and
hence the committee has done the best 1t
could

partizanship,

The following article should
make every voter who claims the
honor of being a member of the
Republican party sit up and take
notice. Read it from start to
finish and then ask yourself if
you can in any way serve the in
terests of the state and nation
better than by voting the repub-
lican ticket as it appears on the
ballot.
A personal letter signed by D. H.
Macarthur, chairman of the democrat
ic state committee, is being sent
around the state, to arouse into activ-
ity democrats in every county. The
letter refers to what it calls the "over-
shadowing issue of a political con-
test" This overshadowing issue is
described as a "moral question-old,
yet new--of right against wrong. OF
straight dealing against organized
crookedness."
From such a p%ortentous statement
the reader naturally looks for disclos-
ure of a sensational nature to follow
about alleged republican c%rookedness
and corruption in Office, or something
of that sort. But nothing of the kind
occurs: and after reading the frantic
appeal through from end to end, the
only object disclosed is an attempt to
arouse democrats to get out and vote
for the entire ticket on November
next. The promise is held out that il
the democrats of the state get busy,
they can elect their whole ticket by
taking advantage of republican differ.
ences and by getting some republican
support.
The only "moral question" that car
be discovered in the letter seems to be
stated in the following sentence the
sum and substance of the whole an.
peal:
"If every democrat will take
this to heart and do his duty, we
will not only elect John Burke
governor, but will CARRY INTO
OFFICE our two congressional
candidates, and the entire state
ticket. More than that, we will
control the next legislature and
with that we will be proud of an
entire delegation at Washington"
How do we'll meaning republican,

that it is necessary to elect a re.

coming term.

that this is a non.partisan campaign.

that this 10 q non-partisan campaign.
Governor Burke's cry Of non.parti-
sanship is nov to plain to be longer
overlooked. With him, and with the
democratic committee, it is only a
question of Office. The democrats not
only want to still further control the
state government and state institutions
but they aspire to extend such control
into congress, and have nerve to ask
republicans to vote for democratic
candidates, who will fight in and out
OF congress every wise principle, and
every sound policy which the republi-
can party has wrought into the laws
of the country.
Any man can see that the democrats
are conducting q cunning campaign.
They have imported Bryan to talk
democracy and boost for Burke. and
Lind of Minnesota came to do the
same thing. They expect to stampede
enough republican votes if the demo-
Gratis stand pat, to carry the entire
election. They not only expect to win
the governorship again, but this time,
the legislature, and possibly the SEN
ators and congressman. It is a big
scheme, Matched, no doubt, in nation
al democratic headquarters, and is be-
ing played to win, If republicans of
North Dakota do not checkmate it.
Senator Clapp of Minnesota, an in
surgent senator, who opposed Aldrich
and Cannon, stated this week in a
public address at jamestown, N. d.,
that no republican who is dssirous of
progressive measures put into effect,
could possibly hope to get them thru
the democratic party. He told of his
own experience in the debate on the
tariff bill, and stated that on seven
different occasions the democrats in
the senate had the chance offered them
to put Aldrich out of business by
standing with other republican sena-
tors, and on each and every time,
enough democratic senator's lined up
with Aldrich to defeat the plans of
the opposition.
Senator Clapp further pointed out
that Bryan has less influence with the
democratic party now, than he had
fourteen years ago, and Bryan has
been the only prominent man who ever
really attempted to get the democratic
party to take up new, progressive and
reform measures of legislation. That
the republican party can, and does
right itself, and reflect the wishes of
the people, was also pointed out by
Senator Clapp, who stated that in less
than two years, the republican party
has responded to the demand for cer-
tain reform measures of recent origin
and in eight years has enacted into
law, such reform measures as were
never before secured by the people.
That the republican party is the only
party that can put any progressive
legislation into effect.
!, And the senator strongly advised
republicans not to commit the folly oil
voting for democratic candidates ir
the hopes of securing thereby any
remedies at law for existing abuses,
T And he declared that the only result
of doing SO would be to put the demo
cratic candidates into Office, and thu.
efectually block the wheels of al
further progressive legislation.
