WILLIAMS ENDORSES
ROOSEVELT'S PLAN

Yazoo, Miss, Sept. Ex-senator John
Sharp Williams of this state has come
out with a strong endorsement of Col.
RCosevelt's suggestion that the Panama
canal equipment be transferred to the
Mississippi river valley for the purpose
OF improving that great artery of COM
merce. He says:
TT would be madness to throw upon
the dump heap the machinery at Pana-
ma, which can be so easily transferred
to the Mississippi valley for a. still more
useful work, and it would be almost
equal madness to sell it at such a price
as could be obtained for it.
My heart is with the project. 1t is
time the great Mississippi river problem
was taken up just as the Panama canal
problem was, as a thing to be gone at
from every viewpoint and to be COM
pleted as one great overshadowing COM
mercial and agricultural necessity.
Instead of dribbling away from
81 ,0O0,0 900 to $6,000,00O a year. a large
part of which is wasted and another
part destroyed whenever floods come,
the machinery which is now at Pana-
ma ought, upon the completion of the
canal, to be moved up the Mississippi
valley and utilized in dredging the river
to fourteen foot channel, beginning at
the lowest point where 1t lacks that
depth, and extending northward to the
