WOULD LEVY TAX ON
 NAVIGABLE WATERS
Martin of Colorado Does Not Believe in Spending so Much Money
 With no Return

Washington, March 22.-(Specal.)- Representative Martin of Colorado has in- troduced bill, the first of it's kind, to tax the use of navigable waters improved by the federal government The bill ere ates a waterways commission, which is given Jurisdiction of navigable waters and water powers for the purpose of levying and collecting tolls thereon. The Prssi- ldent IS authorized to place Panama canal | traffic under it's jurisdiction The tois or charges collected will be used to es- tablish waterways improvement fund. MT. Martin said of his bill
 The stime is coming when the govern ment will quit dumping from $25.000 GOO to s50000.o00 annually into the naviga ble waters of the United States for the pur- pose of making free shipways for private boat lines. More than half a billion dol lars have been squandered in this way. until now the rivers and harbors bill is best known by the suggestive name of the pork barrel and the practice has risen to the proportions of a scandal in national legislation. When conservationsts over
 look this great national resource they are saving al the spigot and wasting at the bung hole In the hearings on the Pana- ma canal bill before the interstate com merce committee, it developed that each ship line in the United States has an ab- solute and exclusive monopoly of it's own route and territory Why should the na- tiona government eXpend from s25 00O COG to s50,000,000 annually to give these boat lines free rights of way when railroad rights of way are not only furnished by the railroads themselves, but are subject to taxation? We are spending more than $Go,000OO0 to canalize the Ohio river for the fleets of the Anthracite coal trust My bill, of course will not become law, but some day the idea will be taken up and put into practical form and help build up and maintain a national system of waterways" "
