CONGRESS
DECEMRER 6 TO
DECEMBER s TO 9

The object and purpose of this
Congress can best be expressed in
its motto, uSave the forests, store
the floods, reclaim the deserts,
make homes on the land" to which
might be added vdrain the swamp
and make homes on the land"
There are in the United States
IS, 900, 900 acres of swamp land,
non productive, menace to health,
and deterrent to immigration.
Is, oeo, 600 acres divided into 40
acre farms means homes for 1885,
900 families, or approximately
10, 900, 900 of our citizenship.
THIS land when reclaimed will be as
healthful as land that has always
been dry, aRd will be the most pro-
ductive of all lands, because it is
composed of the rich soil brought
down bv the rivers, desposited and
mixed with the decayed vegetation
of centuries.
On account of the diversified
ownership and state complications
1t would seem that the United States
Government Is logically the authority
to redeem these lands along the lines
pursued In the reclamation Of the
arid lands OF the West.
The results of. irrigation of The
arid lands of the Far West, and the
possibilities of the drainage of the
swamp lands of the Great South, and
elsewhere, will be given the par
ticular attention in an elaborate pro-
gram that has been planned for this
congress. Delegates from all parts
of the country, as well as foreign
representatives, have been invited,
and goodly attendance is expected.

The record., 1911-11-30

THERE was little wisdom shown in
the vote of the National Good
Reads Congress in favor of Federal
appropriations for road building.
II there is any form of public enter
prise that could be considered of
purely local concern it is the
construction and maintenance OF
public highways. Road con-
struction in this country has always
been the affair of towns and counties:
only quite recently has the policy of
State aid found favor. While there
may be cogent arguments for the
cooperation of the State with the
counties ia this matter, the opening
and maintenance of highways is
absolutely foreign to- the Federal
jurisdiction. Congress might as
well be asked to appropriate money
for opening. grading and paving the
streets in our cities.
