BATON ROUGE, La, May 25.-
Louisiana has taken the lead in a
movement that is designed to be ma
tional in scope to devise ways and
means to control the Mississippi
river and its tributaries and to re,
move the menace of floods from the
lower valley.
Tn movement was started by Gov
ernor Parker, who in special mes
sage to the legislature. asked for the
senate and house to join the governor
in formulating a statement to the
country.
A resolution to carry the governors
recommendations was adopted yester-
day in both houses.
Governor Parker's message to the
legislature said in part:
Protection of the people of the
Mississippi valley from floods means
more to national welfare than the
Panama canal
THE menace of uncontrolled flood
waters caused enormous loss and de
struction to many states, and it is i
national question, as control of the
flood waters of the Mississippi is be
yond the power of any state or com.
bination of states"
Louisiana as the state most vitality
interested, should take the lead in
calling the attention of the other
states. if necessary. through legisla
tive action, of iD1pressing upon con
gress the urgent need of flood con

Republican Senate Leaders
Plan to Impress Forcibly on
Rank and File Tariff Needs
Attention.
|'"GAG" RULE WARNING
fRv Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Republi-
can senate leaders planned today to
impress forcibly again on the rank and
file of their membership the necessity
of attendance az the senate sessions
while the tariff bill is under considera-
ton. They had planned a party con-
ference for that purpose.
Again last night there was difficulty
in obtaining a quorum with a result
that the senate machinery was halted
for nearly an hour, while the serg-
eant-at-arms on orders of the state
communicated a request that absentees
present themselves in the chamber.
There was a similar experience the
night before.
Leaders were to call this situation
to the attention of members and in
sist that unless they kept on the job
they might have to stay here until
early fall in order to clean up the leg
islative program.
Republican leaders were warned in
the senate by Senator Underwood, of
Alabama, the Democratic leader, that
he would resist to his utmost any ef-
forts by the majority to apply the
gag" rule for passage of the tariff
bill.
Other minority senators intimated
that cloture rule would provoke pro-
longed discussion.
