FLOOD CONTROL
CONFEREESA AGREE
Copeland and Gibson Refuse
to Sign Report, Seeing
Threat to States.
BY the Associated Press,

Ry luc ASSoClAIcu FTekS.
A revised flood control-power pro-
gram. requiring no local contributions,
was approved by Senate-House con-
ference committee last night despite
the assertion of two committee men,
bers that the bill Threatened every
vestige of State control and States
rights"
The measure authorizes projects
estimated to cost $375. 100000, but
appropriates no money. Funds would
have to come from w. P. A. alloca-
tions or from future congressional ap-
preparations.
The committee eliminated a pro-
vision requiring local communities to
contribute to reservoir and dam prof.
ectS, and retained a section giving
the Federal Government full title to
lands needed for such works.
Senators Copeland, Democrat, of
New York and Gibson, Republican, of
Vermont, refused to sign the confer
ence report and issued joint state
ment describing the title amendment
as dangerous" This had been ap-
proved by the Senate on motion of
Majority Leader Barkley.
Informed legislators said President
Roosevelt had assured Chairman Whit
tington of the House conferees he
would approve the legislation Pre-
viously, the President had favored re-
tention OF the principle of local con-
tributionS.
Senators Copeland and Gibson said
the title amendment aims at the
destruction of the balance of power
between the States and the National
Government, proposal which, in our
opinion, is contrary to the Federal
principle. AS we see it, it is not a
good thing for America All local
problems should be handled by the
States directly concerned in co-opera-
ton with the Federal Government"

the old story about city limits of
1,20O miles," which should have read,
and which now does read 1900
yards"
Mr.. London replied to Mr.. Shaw
advising that all the records he coul
find made no reference to 1900
miles," An act ratified January II,
1841, fixed the corporate limits of the
town at zone half mile in each and
every direction from the public ware
house, the said warehouse to be the
center of the chartered limits of said
town."
A later reference was in an act in
the 1854-55 session, which fixed the
corporate limits at twelve hundred
yards in every direction from the rail-
road depot in said town, and within
those limits the commissioners shall
have Jurisdiction"
Mr.. London wrote that he had been
unable to find any reference to "1,2OC
miles" as the corporate limits, cut
said it may have been amended be-
fore the bill became law and sc
would be printed as amended and not
as introduced"
When President Roosevelt was cam
paigning in 1892, his special train
halted in Henderson for fifteen min
utes, and he was introduced by

tial candidate remarked that he was
