COMMITTEE TO TAKE UP
WATERWAYS MEASURE
Appropriation Bill Expected to
Be Reported to House in
Near Future.

Announcement is made that Chairman
Sparkman will call meeting OF the riv-
ers and harbors committee soon with a
view to an agreement for an early report
on the annual bill making appropriation
for waterway improvements.
Consideration Of the measure has not
yet reached such a stage as to indicate
what will be the size Of the bill. except
that from expressions of members Of the
committee, it will nearly approximate the
necessities Of provision for continuing
contracts, maintenance and OUTLAWS for
such public works as are of obvious and
imperative importance in carrying for
ward the progressive policy adopted by
Congress.
Set Forth Problems.
During the meeting of the National
Waterways Association the first week in
December delegations from that organ
ization were heard by the two committees
of Congress on problems affecting the
larger inland waterways. notably the
Mississippi and Ohio rivers.
In both instances respecting these two
rivers advocates of improvements laid
stress upon the desirability and impor-
lance of the federal government taking
over the entire scheme of Improvement
and abandoning the local cooperative
practice on the Mississippi river, particu-
larly in ievee improvements and on the
upper Ohio, at the junction of the Allie
gheny and Monongahela rivers, involving
lock and dam construction and f1Ood-pre-
vention projects.
Federal Control Best.
The hearing on the Mississippi rivers
difficulties disclosed that local co-opera-
ton in levee work had made excellent
progress up to the disastrous flood OF
early last summer, the vast destructive
ness of which convinced all that the
safest means of preventing the recur-
renee of these numerous disasters is for
the federal government to be given COM
plete control of the construction and
care of the leveeS of the great water
highway.
1t was particularly emphasized that the
speediest possible improvement in accord
with the policy was now more than ever
manifestly the most vitality important of
all river projects, in view of the ap-
preaching completion and opening to the
commerce of the world Of the Panama
canal.
Millions Called For.
The estimates from the engineers of the
army for al river and harbor improve
ments call for the expenditure of about
$44, 100000. There are millions more al
ready involved in former recommended
tons.
At the first meeting of the rivers and
harbors committee an effort will be made
looking to an adjustment of the difficult
ties indicated and pairing the amounts as
far as possible to an equitable basis of
distribution, keeping in mind always the
two considerations of public economy and
the superior Importance of public works
already projected or commenced.

The Good Die Young
By walt Mason.

Beside the road that leads to town
the thistle thrives apace, and if you cut
the blamed thing down, two more will
take its place. The sunflowers flourish
in the heat that kills the growing oats;
the weeds keep living when the wheat
and corn have lost their goats. The
roses wither in the glare that keeps the
prune alive, the orchards fail of peach
and pear while cheap Persimmons thrive.
The good and useful men depart too
soon on deaths dark trip; they Just have
fairly made a start when they must up
and skip. A little cold, little heat will
quickly kill them of; little wetting
of their feet, a little hacking cough;
they're tender as the blushing rose of
evaneseent bloom; too quickly they turn
up their toes and slumber in the tomb.
And yet the world is full of scrubs who
don't know how to die, a lot of picay-
unish dubs, who couldn't, if they'd try.
Year after year, with idle chums, they
hang around the place, until it last their
age becomes a scandal and disgrace.
And thus the men of useful deeds die
of, while no-gOods thrive; you can't kill
off the human weeds, nor keep the wheat
alive.
