additional merchant marine legislation
and prompt Federal action in improv-
ing and developing the Nations water
ways were also urged in resolutions
adopted by the congress. Turning to
flood control in the Mississippi Valley
the congress expressed its approval of
legislation enacted at the last session
looking to solution of the flood control
problem, and urged that all authorized
waterways projects be completed with
out delay and within five years Wher-
ever possible.

In an address at the closing session

The Minnesota Senator declared that
In his judgment the Government itself
must remove the determinations that
have been thrown around the Midwest

Of seacoast ports Mr.. Shipstead said
that deepening of the channel and fur
nishing of barge equipment is not all
that is needed, although nine-foot
channel from the head of navigation
on the Upper Mississippi to the gulf Is
important.
Navigation Of the Mississippi is not
the only factor that must be considered,
Senator Ransdell of Louisiana cold the
Congress. The matter of flood control
must go hand in hand with any project
for commercial development of the great
waterway. Senator RanSdell char
acterized the flood control act of 1928
as the greatest piece of legislation en-
acted since the world began"
Had Congress been as liberal with
the Mississippi as it was with the Pan
ANA Canal" he said, there would have
been no flood in 1927. Congress has
been penny wise and pound foolish in
this matter"
Another problem that presses for i'm

said, is that of securing the several

ROADS SOON READY
FOR SUMMER TRAVEL
Loss During Spring Breakup
Runs into Large Figures,
Says BabcOck.

Trunk highways in Redwood and
other counties in Minnesota are stag
ing their annual comeback. The sun
and wind are drying the surface and
the maintenance forces are smoothing
out the ruts made during the spring
breakup. While some stretches are
still unsafe for heavy loads, and
rainy spells may cause trouble here
and there, most of the motorists
troubles are over until the fall rains
or snow storms come again.
The tie-up due to impossible roads
was not as serious this spring as IN
1927, yet the loss through unneces-
sary wear and tear of motor vehicles,
the cost of getting pulled out, and the
losses Through delays in the market
ing of farm products and the delivery
of necessary merchandise and sup
plies, would undoubtedly run into hum
dreds of thousands of dollars, perhaps
millions. If the money which has
gone into extra gasoline, tire wear,
towing, ETC., could have gone into good
roads instead, it would pave great
many miles of highway.
Liberal use of load restrictions be-
fore roads reached the impossible
stage helped to keep many routes
passable. The April snow storms
were a help because they kept the
traffic off the roads during the per-
iod when the frost was coming out.
Mr.. Babcock states that the coopera-
hx, ha tu of
car owners, who refrained from TAX
ing unnecessary trips during the poor
road season, FASTENED the period when
general travel could be resumed.
although the tie-up has not been
as bad as in 1927, it nevertheless
shows the need of speeding up our
road program" says Mr.. Babcock.
"The automobile is no longer a
pleasure car, but an essential part
of our daily life. We cannot expect
to use it ten or eleven months a year
and then fall back on other vehicles
during the spring breakup. To have
railroad trains, horses and wagons in
reserve, sufficient to handle all the
transportation during this period, and
stand idle the rest of the year, is
very uneconomical. We must have
roads which make the automombile
disable twelve months in the year, or
else use it merely as pleasure veh-
icle.
''Roads which were impossible this
spring were of three classes, those
of recent construction, those which
have never been graded to modern
standards, and those which carry an
overburden of traffic. Roads which
are graded and graveled and
thoroughly compacted, stand up
through almost any kind of weather
as long as traffic is not too heavy,
but when traffic gets beyond GER
tain limit, they quickly fail.
"The situation emphasizes the need
of paving a thousand or more miles
of the traffic-burdened routes at the
earlier possible date, as well as grad
ing, and crawling the routes which
carry less traffic and which have not
yet been graded to modern stand
ards"

The inadequacy of the municipal

brought to the attention of the New
Ulm council by John c. Siebenbrun-

that there might not be a shortage
this season, unless it was extremely
dry, but that there would be next
year and now was the time to arrange
for increasing the supply, so that the
shortage would be met before it be-
came too drastic.
