nomenon, but an accentuaton of a situation
that existed for years during every season of
crop movements.
"The necessary increase in railroad rates
still further emphasized the need Of the in
terror In order to establish rates which would
enable the railroads to live it was necessary
to adopt schedules which would not permit
traffic to move The country had come to an
impossible situation in the transportation
which conditions the industrial life and pro-
ductive power of the nation.
1T is situation that can be cured Only
by rcshaping the national transportati--
structure that from every producing sec
ton, by relatively short rail haul, the
nations products may be carried to the un,-
versal water base What has been for a
generation the instructive desire Of the West
to find nearer road TO the sea and to the
markets Of the world is now an economic
necessity for the nation.
"The first question every one. asks himself
is whether the New York barge canal, when
it's service is fully developed, will not fill this
need. 1t is a question that is very quickly
answered. The capacity of the barge canal
as estimated by its friends is 100000 tons
a year in each direction The movement from
The Middle West is about 200,000O 900 tons in
what we may consider a normal movement
"The barge canal at its utmost capacity
cannot in any large way meet this situation.
Upon every situation compelled to
conclude that the enlargement or rebuilding
of the New York barge canal to furnish
ship channel is not practicable, and in this
conclusion we are confirmed by all the
authorities of the State of New York.
"All engineering opinion agrees that the
st. Lawrence route is the natural outlet, the
line of least resistance that the Improvement
is feasible and that it can be accomplished
at moderate cost The power development
is capable of reduction to precise terms.
Potential energy of the st. Lawrence River
to be developed as soon as the market is ready
to absorb it will be 4,1O0 900 horsepower.
This is equal to the energy which can be
produced from 81 100000 tons of coal burned
in the most modern steam plant or $4,000

of some one who has given New York as his
home address. Get-Rich-Quck Wallingford
was New Yorker. In fact, if all the villains
of fiction and the drama were to clasp hands
they would reach almost the full length of the
st. Lawrence project. But the Chamber of
Commerce students of this problem base it on
an even more solid and concrete basis
Admitting that the project for the canaliza-
tion of the St. Lawrence had made great
headway and probably will be undertaken, Mr..
Kingsley recently said to the chamber:
"Apart from all differences of opinion over
the practicability of this project and admitting
that it may be undertaken, our duty to the
country and to ourselves remains clear.
Our duty is to put house in order.
Our duty is to join with our sister state, New
Jersey, in pushing to completion the great plan
offered by the Port Authority, which itself
came into being in this hall 1.-THE assembly room
of the Chamber of Commercel last April, when
the two states signed treaty creating that
Authority and Port District.
''In the present condition Of this port New
Yorks critics find substantial grounds for COM

formation of hostile legislative 'bocs' and pro-
notes impracticabe projects
"In and about this port there are six great
instrumentalities Of commerce for the utlliza
ton Of which in the interests of the whole
country ths tate and city and, in hardly
New-York tribune., 1922-03-12

lesser measure, the State of New Jersey, can
not avoid responsibility. These are:
Il. The extent and character of the waters
that lie in a great sem-circle south, west,
north and even east of Ambrose Channel.
SO. The railroads centering around the port.
SO. The Hudson River.
"a. The Barge Canal.
"5. A great body of trained merchants who
know how to buy and sell abroad.
"6. Financial facilities of pretty nearly the
first order.
"Our immediate problem and duty lies
under the first heading-in the waters of the
Port of New York, correctly described by the
Port Authority as the largest body of
eve oppose the st. Lawrence River pro-
ject not because it will injure this port (under
any fair program only New York and New
Jersey can injure this po-t), but because it
will place on already overburdened people
greatly added burdens in an experiment
which, when all is said, is largely sentimental
and will ultimately and inevitably involve us
in grave international complications"
What is the sentimental phase of this ex-
pertinent? What is the alluring suggestion on
which rests the appeal to inland cities Of be-
coming seaports? Forget for moment the
tremendous economic advantages which might
be supposed to result from such a change and
think Of the fashionable women at Duluth

effort IN mining, in transportation and in
handling of over 100 900 human beings"
There is the essence of the arguments of
the proponents of the st. Lawrence project.
Darwin P. Kingsley, president Of the
Chamber of Commerce, believes that much
of the impetus given to the st. Lawrence
project was born in the dangerous hostility
to New York that is widespread in the United
States. Recently Mr.. Kingsley told the
Chamber of Commerce.:
"This (the Middle Western antipathy for
New York; is largely honest hostility, based,
of course, on imperfect information and local
ambitions. When the hostility is dishonest,
politicians will be found lurking in the back
ground.
"Just now we are confronted by the ST.
Lawrence waterways project nominally ap-
proved by eighteen states It's appeal rests
largely on an alluring suggestion. To tell
Cleveland, Chicago and Duluth that they
ought to and can be great seaports, that they
have natural right to be scaports, is to fire
the imagination of their people
"In some sections Of the country it strength
ems almost any project for New York to op-
pose it, however sound her grounds of opposi-
tion may be, but that does not change our
duty, just as opposition to the money vagaries
Of 1895 could not be lodged because New York
was the center of what and still is called
the money trust
There are many reasons entering into that
hostility toward New York radated from
hinterland America. Some Of it may be unjus-

"The Skandnav" Norwegian and Danish)
clustered about the town notables who NAV
be going abroad or merely returning to the
old country.
These are trivial points seemingly, but
nevertheless they are factors in the situation,
although the advocates Of the ST. Lawrence
project make their best argument when they
tell the farmer of the Northwest that it would
bring him 10 cents bushel closer to market,
such statement was made recently by former
Governor W. L. Harding Of Iowa in an
articii tissitled "S>1ving the National Trans
ports zion Problem" He wrote:
"je was thoroughly demonstrated in the
testimony taken by the international Joint
Commission than an ALI water route fror-

MILLIONS MADE IN OHIO BY
 B00TLECCERS |EH0 POSE AS
 WHOLESALE DRUGGISTS

CLEVELAND, Feb. 15.-There are millions in Ohio today who owe their wealth to abuse of the government permit system for the release of all cohol, William A. Weygandt. former Federal Prohibition Inspector at- tached to the Cleveland office of the dry enforcement organization, told In- ternational News Service today.
 Weygandt was for two years head of the permit division of the Cleve- land office charged with enforcement of Federal prohibition.
 "Bootleggers and their confederates are amassing fortunes through deceiv- ing governments agents" he declared. "Somehow they seem to be little shrewder than the, tnen hired by Uncle Sam to prevent the unlawful with drawal of intoxicants."
 He advocated abolition of the basic or annual permit. He declared that he believed it was through the abuse of these annual permits that the great CT part of the illicit alcohol reached the hands of bootleggers.
 RECORDS ARE DocToRED
 Bootleggers operating on a whole sale scale get control of some busi- ness that legally would require the use of large quantities of grain alco- hol, Weygandt said. This legal use. however, is frequently only blind to cover the real operations Of the boot legger de luxe, who, by doctorins his
The Cordova daily times., 1922-02-15

books and records, is enabled to color and dilute his alcohol and sell it for many times it's commercial value.
 "One such bootlegger," Weygandt continued, "is reported on the streets of Cleveland to have made over 8 million dollars last year before his permit was finally revoked. He sold vast quantities of hair tonic I un- derstand that one. Ohio city, with a population of 5000, used 442 gallons of hair tonic in a single month from this manufacturer'-enou to grow hair on all the Mexican hairless dogs in the world and give to every bald headed denizen of the town hirsute covering that would make Godiva-if she still lived-turn green with envy.'
 The big fellows, Weygandt said are rarely caught. They have men on their staffs who are paid a salary to go to jail if the worst comes. Wages for this work are high, too. The average wage is said to be $50 per day for serving a prison sentence.
 Adroit bookkeepers, adept at falsi- flying the records, also have no trOu- ble in finding employment with these concerns, he said. Sooner or later these manufacturers are detected, but generally when that time comes the real owners have made fortune and slip out of the concern, leaving some of their hirelings to hold the bag, it was said.

 HAMPI0NSHIp
 C'0NUNDRUN

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-"Who," in- quires Charley Wagner, the hnmbone philosopher of the Friars' Club, Gin vented the lightweight championship, and who held it before Battling Ley insky? My constituents want to know and I must confess I am bit foggy on the subject"
 The light heavyweight champion ship Charles, is the Topsy of boxing division It "just growed." The first person to employ it to good advan- tage for publicity purposes was Bob Fitzsimmons, who whipped light heavyweights when he was middle weight and heavy heavyweights when he was a light heavyweight It should be a distinct class between the big middlewetghts and the big heavy weights, but it has never been uni versally recognized.
 Danny Morgan, a shrewd publicity getter revived the title" several years ago for Levinsky, and whatever merit there is in it now is bequeathed to Gene Tunney.
 Between Fitzsimmons and Levinsky there were some good 175-pound men, but at various times there flourished some excellent middleweights who could whip most of the alleged light heavies.
 The light heavyweight class has range of fifteen pounds-from 160 to 175 pounds-and with the competition 1t is attracting is certain to attain the middleweights and too light to mingle with the giants of the ring. With the present stagnation in the heavyweight division and the general desire to see big men in action, it should develop many interesting con- tenders.
 Since Gene Tunney frisked Levin sky for a decision the light heavy weight imbroglio has ceased to be a private quarrel. Anybody can horn in. Accordingly "Dapper Dan" McKet- trick draws near and filings in the en- try of Jimmy Darcy.
 Darcy is heavy middleweight. He is strong at 160. but stronger at 165. While claiming the middleweight championship of the Pacific Coast, Darcy has decided to emulate Fitz- simmons. He wants to fight Tunney.
 Recently Dave Rosenberg, the rug ged Brooklyn middleweight ham, mered a decision out of Darcy at Mad ison Square Garden. McKettrick
The Cordova daily times., 1922-02-15

sought return match. He actually signed-and can produce the contract for another Rosenberg bout but claims that David declined the issue.
 So Darcy took on Fay Kaiser and spanked him soundly.
