PUTS IOWA BEHIND
MISSOURI RIVERS
DEVELOPMENT NOW
Congressman Campbell Says
Farmers Look to Il for
Shipping Relief

st. Louis, Nov. 26.-(P-The farm
crs of Iowa are looking to develop
ment of the Missouri river to cheaper
transportation rates on their farm
products. Congressman Ed H. Camp
bell of Battle Creek. Ia. said III an
address before the annual convention
of the Mississippi Valley association
here Tuesday.
The net proceeds of the farmers
incomes are affected to a great ex-
tent by his cost OF transportation"
Congressman Campbell said. THE
farmer today stands exactly IN the
position that Christopher Columbus
did just prior to 1892. when he took
his pencil and his paper and figured
out to Queen Isabella the cost OF
bringing the riches of India to Spain.
He sold her on the proposition that
by direct water route he could divide
the cost.
THE farmer has taken his pencil
and paper: he, too. has figured the
cost of transportation which has been
heaped upon him by leaps and bounds
ir the last two decades. His eyes
have been turne,. to the waters OF
the great Missouri, and he can see
no reason why the government should
fail to open up to him this avenue
of commerce, and thus reduce his
rates as other countries have done all
over the world.
"Other speakers from time to time
have made the comparison OF rail
water rates. The enormous savings
that could be made through the de-
velopment of the system Of waterways
would bring to the farmer a certain
relief which he has been waiting TOR
the past eight years. He sees no
prospect for the decrease of rail rates.
in fact q study of the rate structure
might indicate that the same would
be increased. With the cheap prices
of grains at the present time it is i'm
possible for him to survive and live
as an American citizen should live
unless some relief is afforded him.
1.-The farmer has no Queen Isabella
with whom to plead, but the farmer
does have the president and the con-
gress of the United States"
Congressman Campbell urged that
every congressman be seen In an Ell
fort to obtain an appropriation in the
coming congressional session for the
completion Of the work on the Mis-
souri, in the next three years.
CONGRESSMAN Campbell said the
time has come for congress to relieve
unemployment by immediate action
in the hasty completion OF inland
waterways.
The time to make public improve
ments is in the days Of depression"
he said. THE time to put men to
work is in the days when men want
work.
mo American wants to waste our
public funds. but surely constructive
building OF needed public improve
ments is not a form Of waste. This
appeal should 60 forth through every
newspaper and through every pub
lie acti"ity. The flow Of money
through the wages paid will enliven
every avenue of trade, and 1t looks as
if every sensible American citizen
should take this view"
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1930-11-28
