Our New SLOGAN.
Sixty Feet or Bust !"

sixty Feet or Bust
Let this be Cairos slogan in the
fight for higher leyees
The idea of building 60-foot
leyee around the city is becoming
more popular every day and before
the present food has disappeared the
slogan will be on the lips Of every
man and woman in the city,
A year ago we thought 5s-foot
levee would answer our needs. but
another reeord-breaking food has
convinced us that the Improvements
to be made on the levees this year,
must raise the level so high that
hulkheads will not be necessary in
the future.
There Is no man alive who know 2
enough about the whims OF nature
to correctly predict just how high
the river will so next year. 1t mar

may 80 to 81. or even SIS feet
There Is no limit TO where the river
might 90, but IL is reasonable to be-
lieye that sn-foot levee would give

come.

rifce1 to save money Cairo must
have higher levees and while II il
about the task Il would be economy
10 build them higher now and not
wait until they are needed. There
was never more opportune time to
obtain aid from the government TO-
the rebuilding of higher levees and
II IS very probable that an effort
made now, while aood disaster is a
fresh topic. to obtain an additional
appropriation.
Esiro's safety depends upon the
extent of leyee improvements made
in the lower Mississippi valley. The
more ievees the south builds. tho
higher Cairo will have to build its
lesees. and II improvements con.
tinue In the lower valley at the pres
ent rate Il may not be long until
this slty will need a s0-foot levee.
In addition to building higher
ievee. the city should join with
other river cities in 4 litigation to
restrain the government and levee
boards from building more levees
around farming lands
