stress upon the fact that the American
system" which dominates the affairs of
the two continents, is not confined TO
any treaty.
"In all times and places there have
been those possessed of n passion for
the making Of treaties" he said. But
the American system wastnever defined
In treaty and never had conventional
basis. Noncontentious in its origin. II
was not incorporated in conventional
stipulations whose Interpretation might
either drive friends to fall out and
quarrel or give rise to regional misun-
derstandings."
The dinner was attended by about 400
persons, including, IN addition to DR..

sion, II. Z. Thomas, A. lie Breton. Ar

Flood Prevention For Pueblo and.the
Valley

Mr. Morgan, the eminent flood engineer, told the
people of Pueblo among other things that there are
two Of flood r-eveno One of these is to clear
the river channel, that the flood water may pass
thru the protected without doing damage. The
other is to build flood reservoirs to hold back the wat
ler that the volume of the stream will not be great
enough to do damage.
combination ef the two methods is the
ally chose; for it is SCI ON pract :lbe to make flood
channel large enough to carry the maximum volume of
the stream and it is usually advantageous, both
financial and engineering standpoint to enlarge the
channel somewhat and not depend entirely upon flood
reservoirs.
There is, however, difference between these two
methods, which is Of considerable Importance to the
people of Pueblo and of the Arkansas valley this time
Whatever work is done in Pueblo in the way of
widening and deepening the river channel will be Of
advantage to the people of the valley below The vol
ume of flood water will not be decreased and the
ger from the flood down the river will be Just as great
as 1t But if flood reservoirs are built TO hold
back the water their benefit will extend not ONLY to
Pueblo but to all the down-rver communities that are
endangered. And it is probable that m a combination
of the two methods of flood protection both the city
and the downrver districts would be able to get flood
protection cheaply than they could by independent
action.
In the conference that Is to be hello IN Pueblo next
Friday it will be primarily for the visitors to say
whether they wish to be considered in connection with
the plans Pueblo is making for flood protection II
they desire to participate in the undertaking of flood
protection the time to make their wishes known
If they prefer to have Pueblo go ahead independently
the Pueblo plans will be made accordingly.
1t was at least matter of neighborly courtesy that
the conference should be held before decision was
made

American Valuation

An example of the conditions that have made it de-
srabe to establish American valuations as basis for
tariff charges is given by the American Valuation
citation.
When the German mark worth 23.s cents in
American money, the in July, 1914, an ad
valorem duty of 33 l. per cent article costing 200
marks in Germany would amount to about s15.S5. To-
day, with the German mark worth only 13 cents in
American currency, the duty would to only
about Sc cents, which utterly inadequate either
protection or for the purpose Of revenue.
It is true that the article that cost 200 marks Ger
many in 1914 would not cost much more than that in
German money, but the rise in value is equivalent
to the depreciation in currency And besides that is the
difficulty of reckoning the tariff upon currency basis
that is subject to rapid and violent fluctuations that
easily affected by speculative influences.
So evident the why the tariff should
be based upon American valuation that one is jus-
fed in saying that opposition to this plan be ba
upon ignorance partisan prejudice or upor selfish
interest concerned in getting the largest possible
Of foreign made goods into the American market with
the least possible expense.
