The Pending Harbor Bill

Proponents Of the pending river and barber ehl'
reported by the house committee Just prior to the clos.
Ct the last s.saon. are making a last strenuous effort
TO secure action during the present session. dssrit. the
announced opposition Of President Coolidge. However,
Il j. very apparent that administration leaders, who
have no ambition to enter into a controversy with the
president during the closing days Of his incun5snsy.
rill oppose any action 1t this time.
Tn, announcement Of Speaker LOnsvorth that fsrr
relief and tariff will be the only subjects to be taken
up at the special session, the opening date CT which
has tentatively been set at April Is. would indicate that
action a. the special session will depend upcn the
ability Of sponsors Of the measure to attach i 70 tn:
farm relief bill.
Approximately thirty states and two territories.
Hawaii and Alaska. are interested in the river and har-
Dor bill. the pending measure carrying appropriations
for several waterway systems as well as hsrbor ini-
provement. That considerable pressure will be brought
to secure early action is apparent, this pressure coming
form states which will receive indirect benefits as well
as those which will be directly benefited.
1t is interesting to note that the midwest senator's
and congressman. who q few years ago we're in the
habit Of referring TO the river and hsrbor bill as ths
'pork barrel are among the most earnest advocates of
prompt action in making the appropriations available.
They realize that agricultural prosperity depends upon
world markets and lower transportation rates. and that
the one avenue through which these can be secured is
in development Of the country's ports and waterways.
In event the administration leaders remain obdurAte
and refuse to submit the river and harbor bill at the
present session. there is no logical reason why il should
not be passed in connection with farm relief at tn.
special session. Development Of water transportation
is fully as important to the agricultural interests Of
the United States as is the tariff. equalization fee or
any form Of farm relief. Ia fact, II adequate trans
portation Is provided. practically any form Of farm
relief will accomplish the desired end Of bringing pros
perity to the agricultural interests.
Leaders of both majority and minority parties state
frankly that if President Coolidge had not singled out
the river and harbor bill In bis annual message to con-
gress and sought 70 impress upon both houses his idea
Of what constitutes economy. passage Of the measure
would have been secured during the opening days OF
the session. That Mr.. Hoover will not agree with ths
Coolidge policy in this respect i generally believed,
and farm leaders Of both parties express confidence
that he will be willing to submit the measure as sup
Elementary TO any farm relief program that may be
decided upon.

Junior and Senior Colleges

Development Of junior colleges throughout The
Southwest is responsible for the present tendency to-
ward consolidation Of senior colleges. according to en-
inent educators who assert that consolidation i an
economic necessity.
The movement toward consolidation l. particularly
noticeable in connection with denominations institu-
tons. Though no definite announcements have been
made. there is an undercurrent in the various religious
bodies of the state to dispense with the regional in
situations in favor Of the centralized college. an in
stitution which would not compete with the rapidly de-
velopinE junior colleges.
Efforts are being made to secure through the me-
dunn 81 the present session 81 the legislature = more
solid legal basis for the junior colleges Of the state
and also to permit better distribution Of the cost Of
operation. But il j. apparent that regardless Of what
action may be taken ~ the legislature. development Or
these institutions. which are now generally recognized
a q necessary adjunct 20 any complete educational
program for the major cities. will proceed rapidly.
Legislation such a. Is now sought will accelerate this
development, but failure to secure its passage will in
no way interfere with the steady. consistent growth Of
these institutions.
Those senior Institutions now planning consolda-
tion are merely preparing for the future. They real
iI~ that within a few years practically all high school
graduates will he enabled 20 secure the first two years
Of college work either in their home schools or in sd-
joining cities. They also realize that in face Of this
fact Capitalization n senior institutions eventually will
be an economic necessity. and that any expansion at
this time. especially of those divisios or departments
which can be handled in junior colleges, would be folly.
The Texas legislature should tax. cognizsnce Of
this situstion in connection with the Ststs educational
institutions. The record Of the past three years IS
sufficient 70 prove that the present trend j. toward
development 81 junior colleges, and Il should be the
objective Of Texas legislators to extend all possible
cooperation in that movement.

The board Of directors Of the General Federation
expressed the feeling rightly:

A similar feeling was expressed by the women
county leaders Of the New York state republican or
ganization at their annual conference, although these
were the workers who had been active in last falls cam
psign, and might have been expected to feel more
keenly than the club women that their efforts deserved
some gesture Of gratitude.
The fact is that women think very little about po-
liticsI gratitude. They would vigorously resent the
imputation that they made their political decisions
with am sense Of fsvors to rome, and they would re

The World and All
AREOLOGIS
By Charles Y. Drueoli

/ call them stareologists for lack of q better or more
definitive designation. They are the folk who stop and
stare whenever an ambulance draws up in front of
somebody's house. Who is sick or hurt? Well, some
body by the name Of Jones. perhaps. What difference
does it make to the stsreologists? don't know. but
ii must make some difference. They gather about and
stare. very much as cows do when another COW has
fallen into a hole and broken her leg.
You should see the stareologists block the stre..
when a easket is being carried out to a waiting h.ars.!
Why don't they 20 on about their business? Why

homes Of other folk as he goes By. He knows that the
