'The National Irrigation Congress

"The swamp land drainage crusade.
covering 10000 900 acres of wet
lands in 35 states is a proposition so
big anf involves so many millions of
dollars and such vast interests, indi-
vidual. state and national, that it
must inspire the biggest Drained men
that could be interested in its devel-
opment. Again and again has the
National Irrigation Congress by reso-
lutions called the attention of the
government to the need for early ac-
tion.
PERSONALLY, | do not know a west
ern man who Is not willing and an
xious to contribute in every way to
arouse the entire nation, but especial
ly the president and the United States
congress. to full realization of what
the drainage of those wet lands would
mean to thousands of home makers;
the increase of taxable wealth of the
nation by making land now dormant
and of little or no value, worth from
$50 to 500 an acre; the necessity for
removing. from many sections. con-
ditions which serve to spread foci for
cheney on those who live on nearby
lands. this annually costing thousands
of valuable lives or making them un-
profitable both to themselves and the
nation.

the Chicago meeting.
Irrigation has been, now is and al

west, using the geographical term in
its broad sense. which compares or

of intelligent irrigation.
"The chief function of the National
Irrigation congress is the reclamation
of waste lands by irrigation. 1t can
not be converted int a drainage as

or a rising vote. Moreover, the two
movements can never be satisfactor-

PROPOSED CHARGES FOR use OF

ALL LINES
NO CHARGE FOR SOME

Washington, D. c., Jan. Calming
a blow directly at railroad owned
steamships engaged in American
coastwise trade, the Senate commit
tee on Inter Oceanic Canals Satur-
day adopted material amendments to
the Mann bill to provide for the gov
the regulation of the Panama canal
The chief amendment was one intro
duced by Senator Flint, chairman of
the committee authorizing the Presi-
dent to fix the freight and passenger
charges for using the canal, but
freight charges are limited to not
less than fifty cents nor more than
S1.5O per net ton. 1t is provided also
that no charges shall be paid for YES
sells in ballast nor for vessels owned
or operated for or on account of the
United States government, or for
engaged in the coastwise trade of
this country. A proviso is added, how
ever, that the exemptions shall not
apply to any vessel in coastwise
trade, which is owned in whole or in
part which is controlled directly or
Indirectly by any railroad company.
The proviso refers especially to
such railroad companies as seek to
avoid or reduce the effect of the
competition of ocean traffic between
Eastern and Western seaboards of
the United States upon transcon-
tinental railway rates. The effect OF
the amendment would be to deny free
passage of the canal to the ships of
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
or any line which has connection with
transcontinental railroads. Another
proviso would authorize the United
States to take for it's own use any
vessel which accepts free toll and
pay for the same at fair valuation
to be determined afterward.

TAFT On THE
PHILIPPINES
u. S. MUST HOLD ISLANDS..WOULD
BE COWARDLY TO GIVEI
Them UP
NOT TO CONSIDER COST

Washington, Jan. 9.-The annual
banquet of the Order of the Carabao
was here here Saturday night. Presi-
dent Taft, who recently was elected
an honorary member of the Order,
was present and addressed the diners.
The order includes in it's membership
army and naval officers who served
in the Philippines prior to the time
that former President Mckinley sign
ed the declaration of peace at the
close of the Spanish-American war.
The burden of the Presidents re-
marks was to the effect that while
he was unwilling to say that the Phil.
ippines never" would be Independent.
''in my judgment, we are likely to re-
tain them for a considerable time"
The President expressed it as his
opinion that most of the discussion OF
immediate independence for the Phil
ippines had political motive and was
designed more to get votes than to
achieve independence for the Filipi-
nos. He asserted that no dependency
was better managed; that the free
trade with the United States had ac-
corded to the Philippines had doubled
| their trade, and that it would still
| further increase. He went on to say
in substance that he would be pre-
| pared to see the islands given up
| when it was honorable to part with
them; that would be only when the
people there were in position to
establish a government characterized
| by "due process of law" and entitled
to the respect of all the nations OF
the world. Furthermore, he declared
| it as his belief that even when the
time came to give the islands a true
autonomy, then people there would
not wish to sever all bonds connecting
them with this country; increasingly
the people would appreciate what the
| United States had done and would
yet do for them.
He said there was much misappre-
hension of the cost to the American
people of occupation of the islands.
The army, which he said was not too
large for this country TO maintain,
must be maintained anyway and q
| part of that cost, involved in moving
troops to the Philippines, was charge.

ident said in conclusion, "to help care

New Government Buildings For Wash

Washington, Jan. 9.-Three New

were awarded first place in competi-

buildings to be erected in the national

Sawyer had submitted the best plans
for the Commerce and Labor Depart
ment building; Arnold W. Brunner,
for the State Department building,
and Dom Barber for the Department

IS President Taft and most of the

the awards finally were announced.
They were satisfied that the juries in
each case had made a wise selection.
There were nineteen competitors for
each building. Congress already had
provided land south of Pennsylvania
Avenue. near the Treasury building,
on which the structures will stand.
The three successful designs now
will be worked over so that the three
buildings, which will stand In a row,
may form a harmonious group. It
will be year at least before ground
is broken for them.
