Roads, Flood Control
Bills Due 10 Reach
President This Week
Hy the Associated Press

Two big bills authorizing the
spending of more than $780,
100000 in postwar road and river
projects are headed toward the
White House this week.
One sets up approximately 81 ,0OO,-
100000 for flood control irrigation,
power and navigation works on the
Nations rivers. The other calls for
spending 81 ,673, 200, 900 over three
year period to improve the high
ways in anticipation of a postwar
motoring boom
Noting that the bills call for ex-
penditure of millions of dollars in
every State, Senate leader proph-
esied they will not be held up long
in the conference committees where
they were sent for adjustment of
differences between the two houses.
TOO Much Plumber"
TOO much plumber" he explained
privately with a worldly smile.
With both the Senate and House
still hopeful of completing the SEES
sions work in the next two weeks,
the Senate resumed consideration of
$500, 100000 rivers and harbors au-
thorization bill, companion to the
flood control measure. Originally
Congress had hoped to adjourn this
week. 1
Quickly after the harborS legiSla-
ton was called up Friday afternoon,
it struck a formidable snag. Sem
ator Vandenberg, Republican. of
Michigan ridiculed an amendment,
adopted in the Commerce Commit
tee by a narrow margin, to con-
struct canal linking the Tennessee
and Tombigbee Rivers to give the
Western Appalachian region a new
outlet to the Gulf of Mexico.
Senator Bilbo, Democrat, of Miss
issippi, undertaking to answer Sen
ator Vandenberg arguments, spoke
briefly Friday and arranged to re-
tain the floor today. He carried
home an armful of books and made
ready for a four-hour address.
The House is set to open debate
tomorrow on legislation to keep the
social security payroll tax at l per
cent each on employers and en-
ployes for another year rather than
permitting it to double automatic
ally January l.
Veto Is Forecast.
The final vote may come Wednes-
day, but its passage might prove a
hollow victory because President
Roosevelt is expected to veto the bill
if it reaches his desk Well
informed legislators figure there is
strength enough in each House to
approve the measure, but not the
two-thirds necessary to override a
veto.
Although the rivers and harbors
debate may drag along all week in
the Senate, it is likely that Chair
man Thomas of the Agriculture
Committee will ask unanimous con-
sent for consideration of the CROP
insurance bill, passed by the House /

REPORTS ON
RECLAMATION
Bunston Tells Views
Presented at Hearings
In Washington. D. c.

H. w. Bunston, president of
the Yellowstone Valley associa-
ton, this week reported on the
views presented to the house
Flood Control and Rivers and
Harbors committees IN Washing
ton, D. c., last week by a dele
cation from wyoming, North
Dakota and Montana.
Headed by the governors of
the three states, the group teS-
titled to the necessity for flood
control and irrigation projects
in these three states.
Governor Sam C. Ford, D. P.
Fabrick, Wesley D. Eward and
MIR. Bunston made up the group
from Montana, which arrived
in Washington on Monday. Feb.
IA. Hearings before the Flood
Control committee we're held
Feb. 16 through Feb. ID. An ex-
ira day was consumed because
the flood control and irrigation
features were so strongly pre-
Sented, Mr. Funston said.
In a joint statement, the gov
errors of the three states ex-
planned how water storage in
Montana, North Dakota and
Wyoming would aid in flood
control below, and pointed out
that while floods were being
controlled, the water could be
used in the upper area for ir-
rlgat1on. The flood water could
be used during low-water per-
iods, and storage space made
available when more high wat
er came, it was stated. This
water would be wasted or used
for navigation, and the benefits
of its use in irrigation were en-
The statement was presented
by Governor Moses of North Da-
kota. Each governor testified on
behalf of his state also. Testi-
mony was given by all of the
Montana representatives.
At a special meeting of the
Rivers and Harbors committee,
it was made clear that the up
per states opposed any author
ization of a nine-foot deep and
300-foot wide channel, which
would require water needed in
the upper area for irrigation,
Mr.. Bunston said. It was also
pointed out that conditions in
the upper states require that the
Bureau of Reclamation have
control of river development
where reclamation and irriga-
ton are of paramount import
ance.

gers took a close decision from
the Hardin high school five in
a game that strained fans vocal
cords at the local gymnasium

row margin until the last minute
of the contest. The regular time
ended in a 1922 tie.

by Sheridan decided the issue.

home team, while Heagy and
Thomas spanked for the visitors.
In a preliminary, Custer high
school defeated the Hardin Fu-
ture Farmers 37-17. Custer was
ahead 1919 at the half.

ed game, girls Of the Hardin

SURVEY WILL
BE MADE HERE
Committee for Eco
nomic Development To
Sturt Work Soon

A survey of the jobs and buy
ing power of Big Horn county
will get under way here in the
very near future, it was announ-
ced by E. S. Mcintyre, chair IAN
of the local Economic Deve OPP
ment Committee.
Each solicitor working on the
survey will pass out to the sell
ected homes the form entitled
Community Markets." These
forms ask for Information about
different types of purchases each
family plans to make after the
war is concluded. as well as
what the current income of the
family is, and by what methods
the new purchases will be fin
anced. The form asks for infor-
nation about the type of work
the employed members Of the
family are engaged in, and
whether any members of the
family, now absent from the
city, will return after the wal
to obtain work mere.
One highly important thing
that was pointed out by MI.
Mcintyre was that the forms
need not be signed. The COM
mittee is not DESTROYS of OBJ
tanning information concerning
the private income and expend-
lures of any one single family
IN the city, but rather wants to
obtain the cross-section view.
The forms will lose their ident-
ity after they have been filled
out, it was stated.
It was also pointed out that
the Committee for Economic
Development is not a govern
ment agency, but was set up by
private businessmen. with the
governments sanction, as a
nationwide plan for making
definite and specific plans in
each community for the procure
ment of sufficient jobs after the
war for all who need and want
them.
The entire findings of the sur
vey will be gathered together
and a composite picture of Big
Horn county in the postwar
era developed.
A survey of the rural sections
of Big Horn county is already
under way.
