BIG FUND ASKED
FOR LEVEE WORK
FROM MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY APPEAR BEFORE
HOUSE COMMITTEE.
M'CULLOCH HOLDS IT LEGAL
Arkansas Chief Justice Says Congress
Can Make Appropriation to Aid
National Progress.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington. --Delegations from the
Mississippi Valley states urged be-
fore the rivers and harbors commit
tee of Congress an appropriation to
build permanent leyees along the Mis-
sisslppi river as protection against
floods. The spokesman in the main
favored the Ransdell-Humphreys bill
now pending, which would provide for
levees to cost $4,000, 900, of which
the states would have to raise $780,
100000. One of the principal pro-
ponents of this plan was former Rep
resentative Catchings of Mississippi.
R. B. Oliver of Missouri President
Bush of the Missouri Pacific Railroad,
Col c. Med. Townsend, president of
the Mississippi River Commission, and
others, plead for early Improvement
of the levees. General Luke Wright
of Tennessee, formerly secretary of
war and Chief Justice E. A. McCul-
loch of the Arkansas Supreme Court
made extended arguments in favor of
legislation
Judge McCulloch discussed the gen
erai subject of flood protection along
the lower Mississippi river and pre-
sented the question of the power and
jurisdiction of Congress to make ap-
preparations for the control of the
Mississippi river. He declared that
while the improvements asked for
would incidentally result in great
benefit to the contiguous lands, yet
in a broader sense, methods for pro-
viding for flood protection constitute
a wholesale policy to be followed in
aiding national progress. He pointed
out that the project had the backing
of different commissions of United
States engineers; the Commerce Com
mittee of the United States Senate;
the Mississippi River Commission;
because the levee plan was held feas-
ible and economical by every engineer
who had Investigated the subject.
President Bush Of the Missouri Pa
cific said the Mississippi is not only
the Father of waters, but also the
father of floods, thereby making
problem so great that only the ma
tional government could handle it.

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, June 19.-How to take
vocational training to the shop and the
factory as it has already been taken to
the farm is the problem ahead of the
state college at Ames. Faculty men,
bers and the board Of education are at
work on the problem now.
The legislature made provision thru
a millage tax for certain support and
also provided for an extension of the
work so that the benefits of the COL
lege training will go to those engaged
in trades. The report made to the leg
islature last winter on the splendid re-
suits of trade school extension in
European countries furnished the basis
for the action taken by the legislature.
Now how to best adapt this to the needs
of Iowa is question. The problem of
how to take the college to the farm has
been solved; and the board Of educa-
ton promises to work out the other
problem equally we'll.
Development of the purely unitarian
purposes of the college by trade schools
and extension of the benefits Of instruc-
ton in the skilled trades and arts Will
be given great consideration from this
time on. Dr. E. w. Stanton, who was
at the state house yesterday on bust
ness, states that the hard thing just
now is to care for all who want to at
tend the school.
