President Taft Recommends
Appropriation of S500,00O.
HIS MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
Money Needed at Once to Save Mis-.
sissippi Valley Levees.
MANY POINTS OF DANGER
Overflow at Hickman, KY, Sends
Deluge Through the Streets.
In Other Sections.

AT the request Of the entire Louisiana
congressional delegation, President Taft
today sent to Congress a special message
urging the appropriation Of $5OOOO to
strengthen the levees Of the Mississippi
river. now in flood. Both the President
and the Louisiana congressman believe
that prompt action will be taken in both
houses to insure the passage of legisla-
tion that will be necessary to make the
half million available for protection work
against the flood at once. The need of
such action is pressing, according to
what Senators Foster and Thornton and
the House delegation told Mr.. Taft this
morning. The President was greatly in
terested in the reports. which added to
what he had already learned Of con-
ditions in the Mississippi valley.
Text of the Message.
Just as soon as his callers left he called
in a secretary and dictated the message.
It reads follows:
ITO the Senate and House Of Representa-
tives:
Il am advised by the Secretary Of
War, whose report I transmit herewith,
that the flood of the Mississippi valley, by
reason of the rise in all Of the rivers
souri, at nearly the same time, Is likely
in the lower part of the valley-that Is,
Missouri. Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee,
Mississippi and LOuisiana-to reach a
higher point along the levees than it has
ever reached within recent memory, and
that there Is very grave danger that the
levees may give way under this unusual
pressure and that great damage may be
done to property in the states mentioned.
requiring, unless prompt action Is taken,
great future outlay in preserving the
proper navigation pf the streams.
These levees contribute not only to
the safety of the adjoining agricultural
lands and settlements. but are also a
part of the great governmental projects
for the maintenance Of navigation in the
lower waters Of the Mississippi.
1T seems proper. therefore, that the
government should take immediate ac-
ton to make the loss impending as lit
tie as possible. In view Of the character
Of the emergency and the safeguards sur
rounding the expenditures made under
the Corps Of Engineers I have no hesi-
tation in asking for an appropriation Of
$5OO.OOO as recommended by the Secre-
tary Of War.
Il urgently recommend an immediate
appropriation so that no time may be
lost in taking the necessary steps to
prevent what but for governmental ac-
tton may be q loss not only OF many mil
lions. but OF lives as well.
