URGES USE OF THE
PANAMA CANAL
MACHINERY ON
MISSISSIPPI
Secretary Of Commercial Con-
gress Says the Government
alone Can Solve Problem Of
the Father Of Waters.
GOT OUT OF NEW ORLEANS
JUST AHEAD OF FLOOD


The only possible way to prevent
the recurrence of these disastrous
Mississippi river floods. with their
millions Of dollars OF damage to
property Il for the government to
take hold OF the Job said Edwin J.
Becker today. Mr.. 6ecber 10 secre-
tary Of the Trans Mississippi Com
meroini congress-. which holds SIS big
gest and most important meeting next
August IN Salt Lake CITY. Mr.. Becker,
whose home Is Ia Kansas City, ~ IA
New Mexico IN the interest OF secnr'
ing a big delegation 10 the congress,
which this year viii devote its SEES
sions TO discussion of reclamation,
both by drainage and irrigation.
Mr. Becker attended the season Of
the drainage congress IN New Orleans
some weeks ago and got out OF that
town iust ahead Of the big floods.
mo state can ever handle the task,
said Mr.. Becker to-day Il believe the
government should utilize rs great
machinery now being used on the
Panama canal for reforming the
Mississippi river. after the canal ia
completed h has that machinery,
which Is Just what is needed for the
river work, and might as well make
further use OF a. / believe the gov
lcfnment ahould Issue hOnds for the
work ard attack It as soon as possible
ION an immense scale. The land along
the banks could be condemned; the
improvement work would make Il ap-
lprcciato enormously IN value and by
selling the land afterwards the gov
lernment could take mp the bonds.
THE problem in my opinion, Is that
LOT confirming the Mississippi to a def
mite channel where II will wash ont
It's own bed instead OF filling Il up az
at present. Every year, as tho dykes
are heightened, the river nils up IT,
bottom until the great stream is q
sort az gigantic flume, clear above
lmuch Of Che surrounding country. Il
the river were Strengthened and kept
In a permanent channel instead oil
filling up It's bed II would wash u
clear May countries OF Europe have
made their principal rivers great
lcanals, Improvement work costing
millions saving many more millions IN
such floods as that which is now de-
vasatlng the lower Mississippi valley.

first. THAT this association Is unai-
terably opposed to that part Of the
postofficc appropriation BILL now
pending before congress, which pro-
vidss for q parcels post for these rea-
sons:
/. The enactment OF the proposed
bill into law means an unjust subsidy
60 the large mail order houses.
2. The proposed measure Is a gross
discrimination against merchants.
farmers and an others whose ship-
ments would be for q short distance.
g. The great snail order houses
would BE enabled 10 make further
great inroads upon the business that
rightfully and justly Delongs 20 me

houses pay no taxes make no com
tributioHs toward the progress Of the
community from which they draw

 There is no department of business, professional or in- dustrial life in which 1t is not an essential part.
 No community, however small, can enjoy the full ad- vantages of modern life with out including the Telephone. By its use to the needs of humanity it has proved its claims to rank as one of the necessaries of life.
