MISSOURI RIVER FLOOD Menace
BY WILLIAM MASON, IUMM&SW Executive Board

BY WILLIAM MASON, IUMM&SW Executive Board
This year has seen yet another of the many disasterous
floods that from time to time have devastated millions of acres
of rich farming land, flooded hundreds of towns and villages,
destroyed thousands Of valuable livestock and many human
lives in the Mississippi and lower Missouri valleys. Water rush
ing down the mighty Missouri has been responsible for most of
the incalculable damage done and has thus again shown the
sheer necessity for the establishment of a unified and integrated

Basin, including flood proven
ton, navigation, water conser-
walton and last but by no means
least, soil conservation. Such
a program is proposed by the
supporters of the establishment
of a Missouri Valley Authority
-MVA-under the Murray
bill.
Missouri Rampages-An Old, Old
Story
These periodic sprees OF the great
Missouri river are certainly not new.
MANY have occurred during the 4lie-
time of persons now living; many more
have occurred and are on record ever
since the valley was first settled by
European immigrants. There is auth
oritatiye evidence too. that long before
the white man landed on these shores
the Missouri and Mississippi rivers
were wont to frequently go on a big
bender and send torrents OF water
rushing down to the sea and driving
the early Indian inhabitants, who gam
ed their living mainly from a primitive
agriculture, to vacate and seek their
livelihood on higher ground. There are
many legends to that effect among the

ever were probably not on such a vast
scale and not so uisasterOuS to animal
and human life and to the economy
of an entire nation as the floods that
have occurred during the memory OF re-
cent generations. There is no doubt
that the all-conquering white man.
since he arrived on the scene has,
with his usual carelessness and lack
Of foresight, not to mention the mordi-
nate greed of many of the giant PRIV
ate corporations, done much to destroy
many natural flood checks and give the
rivers greater opportunities TO wreak
destruction throughout the valleys.
He has done this by denuding the
mountains of their forests, leaving
nothing to hold the rains and the
SHOWS in the hills, by improper farm
ing methods everywhere and by failing
to take proper measures to bride the
wild waters, measures which are now
being proposed by supporters OF MVA
legislation.
Only Half Way Measures Used To
Control Missouri Floods
The people living in the lower Mis-
souri, states. Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska
and Missouri, to say nothing OF those
living farther down on the Mississippi,
have endured the havoc and destrnc-
ton wrought by the wicked waters OF
the Missouri when OIL a rampage for
many. many years without doing much
of value about it. Primitive. abortive
and uncorrelated attempts We're now
and then made to control floods to
some extent. Two governmental
agencies. the Corps of Army Engineers
and the Bureau Of Reclamation have
supposedly been on the job a long, long
time but nothing effective was eve

serious proposal was made to not only
check floods but to utilize the waters
