STATING THE CASE
TERSELY.

Speaker Clark, who has a bill
pending for drainage and flood pre-
vention, has stated the case about
as vigorously and pointedly as is
possible, in a telegram to the Ma
tional Drainage Congress. The
Speaker is thinking about floods a
little out of season, and it would be
a good thing for the whole country
if it would follow his lead. National
sentiment on flood prevention is a
perennial reminder of the Arkansas
farmers attitude toward mendipg
his roof. He couldn't do it when it
rained, and didn't need to when it
was clear. We have a spasm of de-
termination, every spring, about
doing something for flood preven-
ton, and as soon as the waters sub
side forget it all till the next season.
What proper measures Of this kind
would mean is suggested by the
Speakers telegram to the Drainage
Congress:
Upon the National Drainage Con-
gress rests the responsibility of arOus-
ing the people of the United States to
the immediate necessity of providing
for flood prevention and drainage Of
our swamp lands as is provided for In
my bill. H. r. SiS? I request you in
crease your activities now and at voIIr
April meeting In Savannah that soc
10000 OF annual Hood loss be saved.
that LOO annual deaths from malaria
be prevented, and that 500 600 acres
Of swamp land be converted into pro-
Iy to our annual wealth within our
own borders.
There is a yearly death and property
loss in the United States far In excess
of any We did or ever will suffer from
foreign foe.

trict Commissioners ought not to be
under the necessity of going to Con-
gress for all manner of petty author
izations. They should have legisla-
tive powers of their own, somewhat
similar to those which cities IN
der the Des Moines plan grant to
their commissions.
Congress regards the District of
Columbia as a nuisance on its hands.
Therefore, it is up to Congress to
minimize the nuisance by transfer
ring a lot of it's authority to the
men who properly should exercise
it. The Commissioners know what
the town needs. Their business is
to know, they head the organization
of all the municipal activities, and
they are selected because of their
equipment to do the work right. At
present they can merely recommend
to Congress in a multiplicity cf mat
tiers in which they ought to have the
power to act. The best intentioned
men in Congress, actuated by sin
cere desire for the best interests of
the city, very generally agree with
Senator Williams in this regard.
Why doesn't the Senator introduce
legislation to carry into effect tie
he makes: Congress as a

poets of the Washington business
situation. It has been realized by
the business community for years
that the whole fabric Of rates In
volving Washington is unfair. Dis
tributing rates out of this city to
Virginia, Carolina, and West Vir-
ginia points are higher than they
should be; higher than from other
centers with which Washington must
compete if there is to be any large
business development here. The
Times has repeatedly made analyses
of these conditions, discussing par
ticular rates and situations; and it
is satisfaction now to sec the whole
question in the way of being forced

Commission.
On behalf of one very important
railroad in this territory the ad-
mission has been frankly made that
the rates do discriminate to the dis
advantage of Washington, and it is
promised that revisions will be made.
This is an important gain, and the
Southern railway, always so friendly
to Washington. is entitled to the
gratitude of the community for TAX
ing the lead in such an important
departure. 1850 e---
1t is not unlikely that the COM

than the srore-door delivery question
