BY HERBERT QUICK

This is the slogan Of the Intra-
coastal Canal Association Of Louis
lana AMI Texas. 1t had a wonderful
meeting last month at New Orleans.
1t is slowly putting over its de-
mands for a great system Of water
ways which will reckon up G,627
miles. This means the Mississippi
from Minneapolis to the Gulf, the
Missouri from Kansas City 10 the
Mississippi, the Ohio from Pitts
burgh to the Mississippi. all their
connecting streams and the passages
and bayous inside the barrier reefs
Of the louisiana and Texas coasts.
All these waterways are now ac-
cepted in the Government projcCls.
And we may add 10 them all the
INSIDE passages" Of the Gulf and
Atlantic coasts to the New Bruins
wick line
A government really acting for the
interests Of all Of us would have had
all of them built long since But we
have been defeated In the use OF
even the waterways we have. I de-
sire to suggest to the able men In the
waterways associations, and cspe-
cially the Tntracoastal Canal Assoc
citation, that unless the waterways
are used they may as we'll not be

There's rush and there's fight as
the game goes along and there's
cheer when play is complete. The
mob's sympathetic when something
goes wrong and they cheer cen the

about s350,o00,oO0, who sell to a
wholesale and retail trade, consisting
of about $500 candy jobbers and $4,000
candy retailers.
These do not, however. include
thousands of wholesale and retail
grocers and wholesale and retail
druggists, through whom a large
volume of candy is distributed.
The total output of the candy
manufacturers last year was Waited
at $3.50, 1000, 900. The total number OF
employees in the industry is about
100000.
All this is upon the authority of
Walter C. Hughes, secxetary of the
National Confectioners' Association.
who furnished it to Representative
Peter Tague of MASSACHUSETTS, a demo
cratic member of the House ways and
means committee, in an appeal for
abolition of the excise tax on candy.
Mr.. Hughes said that so per cent
of the total output is sold by the
manufacturers at less than so cents
per pound and that SO per cent of the
output is sold as penny goods" In
units Of l. q and 10 cents. j
