they literally flock to congress and
Washington expressing the approval
or disapproval of the measure. 1t is
to their advantage to have this canal
and the sooner they realize it the
sooner congress will act"
There seems to be an antipathy to
anything that has its origin in New
York among the middle western peo-
pie" Mr.. Smith said. This is par
ticularly true of New York state and
New York City. At his time, how
ever, partly as a result of the war, the
sectional feeling is not so dominant.
Perth Amboy, located in New Jersey,
could probably ecure better results
than a larger organization in New
York proper" the commissioner said.
"One of the biggest opportunities
is in working with those bodies that
have a community of interest with
us. The city, state and other boards
of trade and chambers of commerce
are the agencies whose assistance we
must have all through the country
along the canal route"
The m commission round
ly scored the economic policy of the
railroads and declared that they had
not been sound. THE abuses such
as the practice of giving rebates to
large shippers brought us the Inter
state Commerce Commission. But
the logic OF hat is little better. OBJ
viously if one shipper appeals for low
er rates the roads must make up in
some other section. And then the
shipper there carries the kick back
until someone else is affected. What
is needed is a REIMBURSEMENT of the
rate structure with a view to cutting
down terminal costs. And there is
nothing hat will assist more in such
a scheme than canals and waterways
A good system of waterways does
away with a large per cent of the
breaking of bulk and handling OF
freight that entails such high cost"

Smith Tells Waterway
Advocates Country Needs Canal

3 PoS0 ~
State Senator Thomas Brown pre-
SIDED at he meeting .ast night which
is the first that has been held under
the direction of the newly incorpo-
rated association. In introducing
Mr.. Smith the senator declared that
the project was absolutely non-par-
tisan, non-political and n~on-sectional.
1--WE are interested in this work be-
cause of the beneficial results we be-
lieve that it will bring to everyone
in this part of the country, producers,
manufacturers, shippers and con-
sumers alike" he said.
In addition to Senator Brown and
Mr.. Smith the meeting was ad-
dressed by numerous prominent BUSH
ness men of the city. Assemblyman
Arthur e. Warner, Frederick DeVoe,
Mayor Dorsey, Alderman John Clark,
Albert Leon, director of the War
Savings drive, John Pfeiffer, Ira
Grouse, John r. Ten Brock, I. L.
Madsen and other spoke.
The senator also called attention to
the favorable Photographed and geo
graphical conditions foc Il sea level
canal. THE land is almost inviting
us to come and dig it," he said. And
we must also consider the great adj
towns and cities along the way. 1t
will pass through one of the most
thickly populated sections of America
and will bring welcome relief to those
adjacent to it as well as to the ship
pers who use it." he said.
The organization was formed prin-
cipally because thefe has been lnsllffi-
Client action on this matter hat las
been hanging over from year to year.
This year we propose TO go cut and
get results. We will not confine our
organization to this section, but Will
take in nearby cites and any other or
ganization interester. Trenton, under
the Leadership of Mayor Donnelly, has
said that it would beat us to it. They
can do it if we carry this project
through as it should be carried
through" Senator Brown said.
Many of the speakers called atten-
ton to the need for the ana at this
particular time before the plans for
reconstruction are finally laid. Eir.
Smith said that the railroads have
been going on an absolutely uneco-
nomic policy heretofore, either be-
cause Congress didn't or wouldn't
understand. When the change comes
and they are put on a new basis they
will have to cooperate with the wa
terways, he said. and the time to have
this change made properly is before
some decision is reached that would
preclude the possibility of co-opera-
ton with the waterways, he added.
That the field for promoting the
canal is not restricted to his sec
ton or even to the state is the con-
tention of Mr.. Smith.
However incredible it may seem,
our field extends to practically all of
the states east of the Rocky noun
tains.' he said.
'If we are to be successful it is
the support of the middle west and
west we must have in addition to
your local support. 1t Is the middle
westerner who seems to take the
greatest interest in these matters.

Government Thrift With Budget Sys-

From the Ogden tUtah) Examiner)
Government thrift is one of the
prospects through the adoption of the
budget system, a plan that has re-
ceived very serious consideration from
the present congress. Action has been
taken by congress toward economic
ing. huge appropriations sought by
the various departments have been
materially reduced, thus vast sums of
money raised by indirect and direct
taxation. The answer to the problem
of governmental finance will be founn
however, not in this individual trim
ming of appropriations but the defin-
lite outline Of a budget system and
adherence to that budget.
The Financial World, in comment
ing upon thrift says:
"If II government expects TO sue
coed in %cultivating the spirit of thrift
as a national trait, it must practice
that virtue itself. Mere lip praise of
the advantages Of saving and simply
crying the w%astefulness of extrava-
gance. exerts no sanitary influence,
for the people are not inclined to
practice what the reformer breaches
and does not follow himself.
More so now is a budget required
than at any other time, when the need
of the country is to save and produce,
in each instance. to the maximum in
order to restore normal conditions as
speedily as it can be done by human
hands and human ingenuity"
Certainly a budget system for city,
county, state and nation would re-
suit in the elimination of extrava-
gances and waste that today take
considerable Of the peoples taxes
