FIGHT TO MODIFY
MISSISSIPPI PLAN
Continued from First Pagc.l

Mai. Gen. Jadwin, chief of Army Engi-
neers.
mo one can definitely determine the
exact cost until the engineers get on
| the ground" he added,
Reid, Representative Kopp of Iowa.
Republican member of the committee
and head of the group which opposed
the original Reid $4,000. 900. with
Representative Cox, Georgia Demo-
crat, and the only opponent of the
Jones measure In the committee, were
the principal witnesses before the rules
group.
Cox expressed the view that the
Jones measure was not a comprehen-
sive solution of the flood problem and
that the 1925 200, 900 expenditure would
be insufficient to properly carry out the
project He said that the Federal Gov
eminent should eXpend between $775,-
600 900 and billion dollars In order
to adequately solve the problem.
THE Jones bill appropriation will get
no farther than the initiation of the
work" the Georgian declared. He
claimed that there will be the initial
OUTLAWS OF Sill .000, 900 for levee revet-
, ment and mapping and $50. .000,0 900 for
! purchase of rights of way and lands
for the fioodways and this will mean
that $3.50. 100000 will be spent before
a spade Is stuck into the ground"
Representative Frear. Wisconsin
Republican committee member. another
witness, however, expressed a dinerent
view, declaring that in its present form
the Jones bill will cost the Government
a billion dollars.
Frear Opposes Present Form.
In his analysis of the bill Kopp did
not advance any specific estimate OF
the cost, but dealt principally with the
provision for placing the entire burden
of the cost upon the Federal Govern
ment.
THE Jones measure was better than
any other Dill considered by the COM
mittee. and in particular the Reid
s473 100000 proposal" he said, 'in up
holding the present governmental policy
of local contributions"
For this reason the minority group In
the food committee had approved the
Senate bill. he added. Frear. however,
emphasized that the Jones bill should
be amended to prevent excessive ex-
penditures and that he opposed 1t in its
present form.
Kopp declared that the Reid bill
would have cost the country between
81 .000. 100000 and 81 400. 900 .000.'
Two Democratic members of the
flood committee. Wilson of Louisiana
and Driver of Arkansas. also spoke for
the Jones measure. Wilson said the
$325 .000.0 fund probably would not
be the final cost of the work. but
would be a good start 10 the accom-
plishment of tn, project.
At the conclusion OF the hearing
Chairman Smell announced that the
rules committee probably would give
it's decision on the right OF way status
for the measure netX week.
That considerable controversy exist
ed in the flood committees action on
the Senate bill was revealed by Chair
man Reid At one point he admitted
he had had no control of his COM
mittee'
"Kopp and his group opposed from
the start any constructive project" he
de ared They we're Coxey's army.e
1t was a wonderful committee.
Representative Frear leaped to his
feet and shouted that Reid was the
coxey's army" Chairman Smell Of the
rules committee adnonished Reid to
.confine his remarkes to the bill.

VOTE IS STARTED
National Civic Federation
Seeks to Increase Exer-
else of Ballot.

Led by John Hays Hammond. the
National Civic Federation today in
stituted a campaign to increase the
country's vote from the 50 per cent of
the eligible voters who cast their ballots
In 1924 to 65 or 10 per cent at the next
presidential election.
The federation planned not only to
bring out more voters, but to conduct an
educational drive which would raise
the standard of intelligence OF the
voters with regard to the issues OF the
hour To this end plans were made to
organize committees on citizenship In
500 leading cities, under the direction
of the General Federation OF Women S
Clubs. Cooperation was pledged by
the 81 other organizations represented
at the meeting at the willard Hotel
today.
Warns Against Full Vote.
Outlining the program, which is un-
der the direction of the federation s
department on active citizenship, MIR.
Hammond. its chairman, opposed the
brass band" method of getting people
to the polls and warned that a 100 per
cent vote would be as deplorable as too
small a vote.
At one time. Mr.. Hammond explained,
nearly 80 per cent of the electorate IN
the United States voted, but that per-
centage has gradually diminished until
in the last two presidential elections
only about so per cent exercised the
right of franchise, while in the off-year
of 1926. when practically all the same
officials except the President and Vice
President were elected. only 80 per cent
Of the eligible vote was cast. a smaller
percentage than that OF the previous
off-year, 1922"
He pointed out, however, that even
in countries where there is compulsory
voting only 30 per cent OF the vote Is
cast.
Plans Joint Committees.
ITO get out big vote that does no.

nond declared lis as futile from the
standpoint of good citizenship as 10
educate the voters on the issues of the
hour and then let them stay at home.
go of on excursions or play golf on
election day"
In urging the organization In 500
cities of the Joint committees on ac-
tive citizenship" Mr.. Hammond pro-
posed that they be made up of repre-
sentatives of the local commercial.
labor. agricultural. fraternal and patri-
otic bodies, women's clubs and the
leading organizations of foreign-born
citizens,
He recommended special effort to
interest I'm the movement the 7.000.00
high school and college graduates. who
will cast their first votes this year. Par
ticularly he recommended the students
who have participated in the national
orr toricai contests on the Constitution,
whose Youthful energy and enthusiasm
equip them for active service In the
work proposed" There are 10000
such students. he said.
