MUSKINGUM RIVER PROJECT
GIVEN IMPETUS

Messrs Frank Coulson, R. X.
Brown, F. w. Cochran, Harry w.
Cook and c.. B. Smith were at
GAINESVILLE recently, to attend a
meeting of representative business
men of the Muskingum valley, where
first steps were taken toward
a program designed to develop the
Muskingum rivers transportation
facilities. The aim of the suggested
project is to improve the Mus
kingum river to standard depth-a
nine foot channel from Marietta to
Coshocton. John A. Fox of ST.
Louis, Mo-, field representative of
the Mississippi Valley Improvement
association, addressed the gathering
and pointed out the advantage of
such a waterway improvement. 1t
would mean that the large vessels
of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers
could use the Muskingum river for
shipping purposes At present there
is a four and one-half foot channel,
which is entirely inadequate to
meet the needs of large-scale river
transportation. Mr.. Fox addressed
a group meeting Wednesday at Ma
rietta, along the same line. The
proposed project would not increase
flood damages, and it is pointed out
that adequate water rates is certain
to attract the attention of industries
to the Muskingum valley.

HOLD RALLY
IN TWIN CITY OPERA HOUSE

At the Republican rally Monday
night here in the opera house, our
thoughts went back to a Republican
rally four years ago, during the
presidential campaign, and we could
not help but compare conditions
then with Hoover in the White
House and conditions now. Monday
night the meeting was in newly
remodeled and redecorated opera
house. OF the crowd present fully
80 percent are enjoying more COM
forts and are in better financial con-
dition than four years ago. The
farmers four years ago were gettlng
about eight cents per pound for
their wool; today the price is bet
ter than 30c, and there is the same
proportion of increase in the prices
of cattle, sheep, hogs, butterfat
in fact everything they have to sell.
They came to the meeting, large
number of them, in shiny automo-
biles; they travelled over improved
roads they did not have four years
ago; they parked their machines on
resurfaced streets; they had money
deposited in our banks, knowing
that it was perfectly safe; they see
their children enjoying better school
advantages; they see improvements
in their communities which all are
enjoying, and in the face of all this
prosperity they can look at their
personal and real estate tax re-
ceipts, and on the same acreage Of
land, and a like amount of personal
property, they are paying practical
ly no more taxes than four years
ago.
At the meeting the speakers
stock in trade argument was to
criticise the present administration,
both state and national. And what
did they offer in it's place? They
howled about government expenses.
They know that governmental ex-
penses mOunt-the trend is ever up
