INLAND WATERWAY SYSTEMS

representatives of the Mississippi Valley states and
he GREAT Lakes states have got together in the senate
and come to compromise on the question of navga-
on channel connecting the lakes with the Mississippi
This project was opposed by Great Lakes senators
because it seemed to imply the continued diversion of
large volume of water from Lake Michigan to the Mis-
sssipp by the Chicago drainage canal. The compro-
mise measure is worded to avoid authorizing any
such diversion The idea is to keep the two questions
separate, handling each according to its own merits
There will be general satisfaction with this proce-
dure. If Chicago is injurng navigation the Great
Lakes by drawing off large quantities of water for her
sanitary purposes, she is declared to be doing,
there means of adjusting that. The matter is
pending in the supreme court. That will doubt
less determine whether water from drainage basin
wanted for navigation there, may legally be diverted
another drainage basin.
AS for the transportation features of the proposal,
there should be disagreement about them The two
great navigation systems, one comprising the Great
Lakes with their rivers and the other the Mississippi
its tributaries should both be developed to their capac
ity for the benefit of national transportation. And
both should benefit by connecting them by adequate
canal. to make them virtually one super-system, if it
can be done without njurng either system unduly for
the benefit of the other.

CHRISTMAS CROWDS

A city traffic commissioner who is responsible for

which they cannot devate Pedestrians likewise have
their appointed crossings, from which too many of

They mill around the sidewalks, getting into each

Often they walk steadily On the LETT plowing into
