NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
Inland Waterway Projects
Are Being Pushed to Give
Work to Unemployed.
BY EDWARD W. PIcKARD

VXTORK for the unemployed was
w the thought In the minds OF
the thousand or more members OF the
Mississippi Valley association wnen
they gathered in st. Louis for their
annual convention. Consequently the
speakers urged that the inland water
ways program be speeded up by the
government so that the projects in the
valley now authorized might be COM
pleted in five years instead of fifteen.
This would mean the expenditure on
them of $1OOOO0,O00 a year for the
next FIVE years.
Secretary Of War Hurley, who was
present, agreed with others that quick
completion Of the Illinois waterway
was vital to the progress OF the pro-
gram and said the War department
would include in the deficiency bill in
congress next month an Item that
would permit work on that link to
start this winter.
''President Hoover" said Secretary
Hurley, "has given me permission to
ask congress for a $22,500.00O de-
ficiency appropriation to carry on
the increased work on waterways this
year. It will enable speeding up for
the winter months.
"As to the Illinois waterway. l am
anxious to get the shovels rolling ana
to get going. When we get that prof.
ect completed, connecting the Great
Lakes with the Mississippi. 1t will be
a tremendous step In the 1900 miles
of inland waterways so long talked
about"
1t developed that If the government
goes ahead speedily. as Mr.. Hurley
wishes, the state government Of ILL.,
nOis must get busy with the construc-
ton Of five bridges at Joliet and sew
en- below that city, for the water could
not be turned In before those bridges
are built.
Mai. Gen. Lyle Brown. chief Of en-
gineers In charge of the valley prof.
ects, thus set forth the attitude Of the
federal engineers:
"Here is what we have In view now
In the valley:
~. To drive the Illinois waterway
to completion with all speed.
so. To prosecute with vigor the i'm
provement of the Missouri from its
mouth to Sioux City.
"3. To execute the flood control
work on the lower Mississippi as the
law contemplates, looking all the time
for more perfection in the plans.
"a. To push the Ohio Improvement
out from the main stem as rapidly as
the means available will permit.
Il believe in the st. Lawrence wa
terway to the sea, but am convinced
that the Illinois waterway is more
vital to our prosperity than is even
the st. Lawrence waterway. Chicago
is the most important place on the
lakes, and there is on the lakes an
aggregation of industrial and popula-
ton centers such as even now is not
matched on any other trade route on

Oregon, chairman Of the committee,
announced that the ten members of
that body in attendance seemed unani-
mously in favor of supporting the
policies of the farm board in its effort
to stabilize grain prices.
This was taken to mean that the
committee members, many Of whom
opposed the administration farm relief
legislation, will offer no obstructive
tactics during the coming session Of
congress and will approve all requests
of the board for appropriations. 1t is
expected that the board, which already
has received $250,O0O,000 of the au-
thorized $50O,0O0,OO0 for its revolving
loan fund. will ask for large part Of
the remaining $250,000,O00 in the COM

Ray Chase and Staff King!

= ESTERDAY'S announcement by Ray Chase that
he will be candidate for the office of govern
with little surprise to Mnnesotans who
have been watching Mr. Chase's public works for the
past several years. Anyone who has watched him
fulfill the ardous and exacting duties of auditor
has recognized him material from which governors
of great states like made. His announcement
brought little of surprise, but much of pleasure and
satisfaction.
Here is man still young who has already given
his state years of faithful and understanding service
in one of it's most important Offices Probably there
have been few state auditors who have had the grasp
of affairs related his office that Mr. Chase has had
Out of his term there has come understanding of
the problems and needs of Minnesota second only to
that possessed by the man whom Mr. Chase would
succeed Governor Theodore Christensen.
This is the season when wouldbe candidates for
this and that out with statements that they

In many the public smiles and yawns behind its
hand when such a statement is made. In Mr.. Chases
it is true, and few indeed Minnesotans who
have any comprehension of public affairs who does
not believe he has announced his candidacy because
those who know his abilities deem it fitting that he
should be the next of the state. People who
feel that way nnumerable; it looks though the
"trck' would be easily turned for this particular
didate. The Gazette is among the papers pledged to
Mr. Chases support and urges his candidacy upon all
of the people of this community who interested in
the best management of state affairs.
With this announcement comes the announcement
that Stafford King. whose name has become another
household word in Minnesota will seek the office Mr.
Chase vacates, asking the of the state make
him state auditor, basng his campa, n his

ability to admnstrate, and willingness for unlimited
work. Second to the governors office in Importance

cupied by of integrity, ability and background
These three of the qualifications which Mr. King
brings with him to degree unequaled by many lesser
office seekers
