Opposition Probable

1t is understood that most of the
land affected is owned by insurance
companies and in many cases the
ditch taxes have been delinquent for
many years. These conditions, to-
gether with the lower price of farm
lands, would make the project es-
pecially desirable at this time.
While this restoration seems prac-
teal and Of great benefit from the
Conservationist's and sportsman's
viewpoint, there undoubtedly would
be opposition from some agricultur-
lists. This and the legal questions
involved should be carefully con-
sidered before the work is under
taken.
This report does not agree with
previous surveys which are more de-
tailed and technical, but it would
seem that it may be worth consid-
ering, especially as the plans in the
Cameron project are not practical
or logical when gagged by orthodox
standards, but quite effective as to
results.

BY LEFTY LEE
Times Fishing Editor

It appears that there are several
practical plans for restoring portions
Of the Kankakee, varying in extent
and cost. The least that could be
done would be to open the inlets
and outlets Of the bayous.
While the cost of this relatively
would be low and the project Of
considerable benefit. especially in
regard 10 fishing. it would not pro-
vide much additional territory for
waterfowl.
1t also would require recruiting IN
some places from time to time, due
to deposit of sediment from the
straight main channel.
This plan could be further de-
veloped by driving piling or build
ing wing dams just above the inlets
of the old channels, so that the
current would be DETECTED into
them. This undoubtedly would send
the river in its old channel fill the
new channel with bars and raise the
river in the course Of a few years.
The latter part Of the plan probably
would not be favored by land owners
whose drainage was affected.
Flood Plan More Beneficial
Another plan would be to acquire
certain areas along the river and
flood them along the lines, like
those developed at the Cameron
duck farm. This plan would affect
only the lands acquired and would
not damage the drainage of the
other territory. The cost of this
would be considerably more than the
first plan but the benefits would be
correspOndingly greater.
The third plan includes the open
ing Of the inlets and outlets as in
the first plan and also, the building
of a series Of low dams across the
river This would, of course, flood
practically every bayou and prob
ably tend to send the river back in
its old channel It would make
necessary the purchase of low-lying
lands. which would be put back into
marsh. 1t would require a detailed
survey to determine the lands af-
fected by certain height dams.
This plan would require a con-
siderable expenditure for land, but
it is more practical and the results
would be far more extensive and eff
fectiye than either of the other two.
Damming the river and raising the
water level a few feet probably
would be approved by owners of
the higher land, but it appears that
it could be shown that if proper
spillways were provided for flood
waters, the raising of the water
table would be beneficial during the
summer

Be Sure II Ii

Struggling with . terrific fiscal
problem the state senate Thursday
passed and sent to the house a sales
tax bill and 4 gross income tax mea-
sure.
It was recognized that the legisla-
ton was imperfect but members OF
the states upper legislative body voted
for it in the hope that the house can
whip 1t into shape In the remaining
days Of the session and make OF it
something worth while.
It may be that the two ideas can
be worked into one. for to adopt both
would seem to be going a little strong
ly in the direction Of taxing every
day transactions after 50 long hest
fancy on the part Of the Legislature.
Ever since the opening Of the ses-
sion one or more sales tax plans have
been knocking around the legislative
halls, looked upon with mingled hope
and fear. They have not been press
ed until now because it seemed to
many lawmakers a rather desperate
thing to do.
II the emergency demands 1t, and
indications are that it does, the legis-
lature should not be afraid to take
this step. But in doing so it should
make sure Of certain safeguards for
its record in what may prove an un-
popular move. It should be mighty
careful that no appropriations are
made for luxuries or for enterprises
for which there has been no real pub
lie demand. And it should make sure
that these taxes are really replace
ment taxes If they are so advertised.
For the legislature to tell the peo-
pie that these levies are requirements,
only to have the citizens awake to
the fact that they are merely addi-
tional burdens. would be fatal to more
than one political ambition.
