~ NE can forecast before the River and Harbor Congress 10 fairly
opened what will happen there. Several wise projects will
be recommended, such u the deepening OF hsrbos and OF
the Hudson and Ohio Rivers. Any number Of foolish urgings will
b. made for the sinking Of additional millions in inland rivers upon
which commerce has long been ~dwindling. The thing that will ds.
tnguish this congress from any foreign one will be the theory run

-, Because local taxation is direct, and people are made aware Of
