THE MISSISSIPPI PROBLEM.

For many long years the question of solving the flood problem in the Mis- sissippi valley has been before the gov ernment of this country. Each time there is a recurrence it comes up with new force and despite the millions which have already been spent in an endeavor to overcome the terror it seems to be far from solved. Such floods as occurred in Ohio and the recent one in Texas with the heavy loss of life only brings to attention the Mississippi task. 1t is job which calls for solution and not an at tempt. Whatever is expended upon the project should be made to be a permanent and not temporary ben eft.
 The problem is therefore one to which full consideration should be giv- en instead of the adoption of some un- certain remedy which cannot effect 8 permanent cure. It is a matter upon which master minds should be asked to pass judgment It should be handled the same as any great engineering proposition and the plan which has the best and most plausible endorsement should be adopted. Nothing calls for more non partisan action than such a problem as the overcoming of the floods It is of importance to the en- tire country for many reasons aside from economy
 In the construction of the Panama canal the entire undertaking has been carried on through the best advice from an engineering standpoint. It was no place for politics The same Is equally true of the Mississippi valley problem. It makes no difference whose plan is ultimately followed so long as it will do what is wanted and make it sure.

to the whole country that the tariff

changed to meet the radical alteration
In the conditions of our economic life

How Tariff Has Grown.
We have seen tariff legislation wan
der very far afield in our day-very far
indeed from the field in which our
prosperity might have had normal
growth and stimulation. No one who
looks the facts squarely in the face or
knows anything that lies beneath the
surface OF action can fail to perceive
the principles upon which recent tariff
legislation has been based. We long
ago passed beyond the modest notion
OF protecting" the Industries of the
country and moved boldly forward to
the idea that they were entitled to the
direct patronage OF the government.
For a long time-a time so long that
the men now active In public policy
hardly remember the conditions that
preceded tive have sought IN our
tariff schedules to give each group of
manufacturers or producers what they
themselves thought that they needed
