even more conservative than those of
the Mayors, Governors and others
who have approved the project This
time the bankers of the country-the
officials of the largest banks in the
best cities from Maine to California
and Canada to the Gulf have said
what they think of the bill that was
introduced at the last session of Con-
gress by Messrs. Ransdell and Hum
phreys, and which is being fostered
by the Mississippi River Levee Asso-
citation.
AS was the case with the Governors
of the various States. the Mayors of
1900 cities. and the different CONNER
cial organizations throughout the
country, the bankers are unanimously
for the control of the lower Missis-
sippi River floods by the Government.
Several are strongly in favor Of the
levee proposition while others do not
commit themselves 10 a plan of flood
protection but agree that immediate
action by the Government is neces-
sary.
Bankers to Aid Legislation.
Several of these bankers win assist
the Mississippi River Levee Associa-
ton in aiding the Ransdell- Hum
phreys measure TO pass. Offers to do
what they could and their services at
the direction of the association were
contained in several letters received
recently by the association.
The Atlanta Clearing House Asso-
citation sent a letter signed by all of
the members. II Endorsed the levee
proposition in strong terms
Believing as we do" say the At
lantans. that the United States Gov
eminent should contribute largely, II
not solely, to the protection Of the
property through which the. great
Mississippi River flows, We earnestly
desire to lend our cooperation in
pushing to a successful issue the bill
which the people living in the States
adjacent to the Mississippi have in
PRODUCED in Congress.
Government Work Due.
Since the people living in these
States have already spent nearly $40. 70
900, 900 in their efforts to cope with
the floods. We feel that it is only
right and just for the Government to
come forth and furnish the necessary
$50, 900 900 to complete the levee sys-
tenn which win bring into cultivation

in the world. now undevelOped. and
