WASHINGTON, June lathe di-
version of water from the Great
Lakes by Chicago will damage navi-
cation of the entire Great Lakes
region, Theodore Burton, Ohio. told
the Senate Commerce Committee to-
day as hearings were resumed on the
rivers and harbors bill. Che bill
authorizes the Illinois river project
involving diversion of water from
Lake Michigan.)
The total damage to commerce and
industry of the Great Lakes regionl
caused by the lowering of the lake
levels due to lack Of rainfall and di-
version. Burton estimated at $780,
000, 900.
Worse Than Drouth
The lack Of rainfall, he pointed
out. does not constitute a perma-
nent injury, but diversion does.
The lakes have fallen forty inches
since 1918, Burton said. and boats
which could carry $4,000 tons now
are able to load only 5000 tons, be
use Of the shallowness of the
Water at the docks. The recession
of the water has caused piling be-
meath the docks to rot away. Intake
pipes for city water for many lake
communities are now out of water.
Summer resorts have been. hit hard,
the water receding as much as TWEEN
ty rods from its former shore line,
leaving a beach of soft mud and
running hotel and resort business,
Burton pointed out.
Corrective work, Burton said. will
not remedy the situation. At the
present time every inch decrease in
the level means a loss of 500,0 900 tons
of shipping, he said. The Chicago
diversion will permanently lower the
lake six inches, causing definite
loss to shipping of 100000 tons of
shipping, Or $30,000,000.

he is right and is unafraid of the

Jesse E. Martin and Ethen A. Miles,

cited by State Supreme Court on

Some of the younger prosecutors
tell me they look on the leagues at
torneys almost as fathers and well
come their assistance in pNosecu-
ton of liquor cases" Wright de-
clared.
Wright believes the time is near
when the law will be enforced to the
letter, with high type men serving
as enforcement officers.
An awakened civics consciousness
which will force courts to sentence
rum runners to the limit is needed,
he said.
Wright asked the church people
to contribute the "sinews of war"
to allow the enemies of demon rum"
to wage their war against the move
to modify the Volstead act.

Last Primary EpOchal

"The election of August 10 was n
memorable one in many respects. 1t
marked an epoch in the history of our
state. The ancient Democratic custom
of a second term without reference to
the kind Of service rendered has been
relegated to the junk pile The spirit
Of the trainers of our constitution has
come to life again. A true standard
of Office holding has been established
in our state, which in my opinion, will
do much to secure to our people that
faithful and Efficient public service to
which they are entitled. Those of us
who have been elected should be fOrci-
bly, impressed with the fact that only
by meeting this higher standard for
office holders only by record of SER
vice and achievement, can we expect
continued public favor.
"There perhaps has never been a
time in the history of this state when
conditions were more propitious for
the passage Of legislation progressive
in its purpose There win be har-
mony and cooperation between all the
newly elected heads of the departments
Of state government. They will all
pull together for Arkansas, for the
general good of our people.
States Latent Possibilities
1.-The time has come when Arkansas
should realize her latent possibilities.
Her people and her lawmakers should
adopt forward-looking policy which
has for its purpose the real develop
ment of our state. They should aban-
i don the conservative and reactiOnary
policies Of the past and launch a cam
palgn for the adoption of progressive
and present-day methods in matters
over which the government has con-
troll. That opposition will come from
the timid and the non-progressive and
from those who are content to live as
they were born. we all know; but
such men never built a state. Their
opposition, however. is sometimes use
full as danger signal to cause thought
full men to stop, look and listen. Such
opposition should not discourage those
who want to go forward.

kind, since the session of the legis-
lature is short, its time should not be
