AUSTIN, Texas--Just what do
Uncle Sans overworked and under
paid hlreling congressman do when
they're not doing during house ses-
sions nor parHing their dainty trll-
bys on the mahoganys in the con-
gressional office building?
That has long been "A sacred ee-
cret with the individual legislators,
but how Representative Thomas J..
Blanton, the iconoclast from Texas.
Is doing his best to let the dear
peepul' In on the secret.
Blanton is visiting Texas and
Oklahoma cities on a speaking tour,
illustrated, IL you please, with car
load, more or less, of expensive
gratuities which Uncle Sam insists
ON foisting upon the poor congress
men.
And these self-same presents tend
To throw the light OF publicity upon
the said sacred secrets of the solons.
Now, Just for instance, Blanton
wants to know why the government
insists upon insulting congressman
who passed the Volstead act-by
making them presents OF pocket
sized liquor flasks of "exquisitely-
tanned ostrich hide and costing 10
BUCKS per each"
lie suggests perhaps it's so that
the house operators may wet
their parched tonsils during dry
speeches with grape Juice.
And Uncle Sam takes good care
that his lawmakers are we'll fed.

and the sea is being deepened by IS

Mr.. Dempsey discussed the rela-
tive merits of plans to develop
power on the st. Lawrence under
government auspices as compared
with plans to develop power under
private auspices. An elaborate re-
view Of the comparative costs of
Niagra Falls power on the Canadian
side under government development,
and on the American side by private
enterprise. was made recently by
Murray and Flood. two of the most
prominent living hydro-electrical
engineers. They found, said Mr..
Dempsey. that both in Quebec and
in the United States the average
price OF power to the consumer is
less when produced by private COM
panies than when produced by gov
ernment-owned utilities.
ut Is obviously unfair to the peo-
pie of New England and New York, :"
declared Mr.. Dempsey, ito propose
to them that this water power of the
st. Lawrence, which will be used
within their territory, when once
1t is developed. shall be saddled and
burdened with the entire cost of
navigation scheme 30 that the peo-
pie OF the middle west who are ad-
vocating this scheme may be freed
from any tax whatever for the prof.
ect. Let us, at least. charge tho
water power only with the cost OF its
own development and give New Eng
land and New York the benefit of
their locations near this water pow
er and not charge to 1t the entire
cost of this navigation scheme.

LINE IS FORMED
IN WATER FIGHT
Proponents and the Op-
ponents Of Waterways
Loading Guns
By BASCOM NJ. TIMMONS


Observation-Disclosures and
proponents Of the Great Lakes-st.
Lawrence seaway project have
started firing their big guns In an
effort to line up the country one
way or the other.
Congressman S. Wallace Dempsey,
house leader of the antiseaway
forces, has made an excursion into
New England, addressing the Mass
achusetts chamber of commerce at
Boston against the proposal. Into
the same territory within a couple
of weeks will go Senator Irvene Il.
Lenroot of Wisconsin,. leader OF the
proseaway forces.
The battle In New England is ex-
pected to be warmly waged. The
pro-seaway forces soon will begin
missionary work in the south also.
Congressman Dempsey asserts that
the south is lined up solidly against
the proposal, and one test vote
which has been had would seem to
bear out his claim. But this the
westerners will not admit.
Defends River Bill.
Congressman Dempsey in his Bos-
ton speech defended the recent pas
sage by the house of representatives
of the river and harbor bill. carry
ing $42,S15.000 for waterway i'm
provements in the United States as
against the budget recommendation
OF $4,000. Dempsey asserted that
the country's sole relief from con-
gestion and high freight rates was
in the development OF a national
waterway transportation system
which would supplement the rail-
roads.
Congressman Dempsey condemned
the proposed Great Lakes-St. Law
renee waterway as impracticable
from the standpoint of aiding navi-
cation or of developing cheap water
power. II waterpower is the object,
he declared. the ship canal project
should be discarded and the enter
prise developed by private capital
rather than by the American and
Canadian governments. both of
which are already staggering under
| Unprecedented public debts.
The waterways of the United
States can handle It's freight more
economically and expeditiously thar
can the st. Lawrence" declared Mr..
| Dempsey, "and at the same time
develop our own country In peace
and protect 1t In war. Our ocean
and gulf coast lines cover nearly five
thousand miles. We have about
twenty-five thousand miles of inn
proved navigable rivers and nearly
as much more which can be mad,
naviglable by improvement. They
are so located that our traffic can
reach them with a shorter haul than
that to the st. Lawrence. The use
OF our waterways Is more feasible
and wore economical than that of
the SO. Lawrence. The st. Lawrence
route is not economically feasible
for ocean-going ships"
30.Foot Plan Impractical.
Mr.. Dempsey asserted that II was
shown by the report of the interna-
tional joint commission that even
30-foot canals were impractical as
highways for ocean going vessels.
