Almost every section of tha country will find subjects of local as well as general, interest in the preliminary report of the National Waterways Commission, submitted to Congress to day. The report Is based upon a com prehensive Investigation In this coun try and abroad, and will be followed by a subsequent report with further rflcnmmpndatloni. This Drelimlnarv report recommends, among . .. other things, a general plan of conservation of water power, with the shaping of pro-. jecis in me lignt oi iniure ueeuo oi streams; resort- to Federal and State legislation rather than to unnecessary channel Improvement merely, to en force I reduction of : railroad freight rates, with inhibition on the other hand of manipulation of such 'rates to freeze out water competition;' . a uniform aystem of distribution of cost of waterway improvement between Federal, State and local governments; avoidance of multiplication of porta; restriction of dam construction per mits;, inaugriatlon of such waterway projects only as can be. completed within a reasonable time; a Federal tax on power furnished to consumers; reservation by the government of pow er to alter or repeal power rights . Tha mmlnlnn holds that the Fed eral- government has no proprietary rights or interest In navigable waters, whirh would authorize the collection f tolls.' It believes that each consent o construct a dam should j provide that the grantee, whenever to; sub serve navigation Interests, must: con struct and furnish power, for a lock Viited to the locality nd to probable 'raffle development.. , Such require ments are claimed to be. free ifrom egal ' objections, - which ; might be maintained against a system of toils. Power - developed v at government lams for navigation or irrigation pur poses, Should be utilized andY ade quately charged for. The commis 'ion recommends that' before - the granting of rights to construct; dams n any navigable stream, the whole stream, or at least such part as will be affected by the proposed construc tion, should be carefully surveyed; 'hat if constitutional authority there- 'or exists, these grants snoum au thorize the Secretary of War or other official to regulate the charge for the power furnished consumers and should expressly reserve to Congress the right to alter, amend or repeal. - While not denying the tendency 'of lver improvements to lower railroad rates, the Commission, holds It unde qlrable to expend money upon river shannels soieiy ior - we eiwv ujwu uch .rates.- The fundamental cri terion, If says,' should, be whether a railway or- a waterway, wnen con structed or improved, will be a profl able investment. Pointing out that ailwaya have temporarily reduced rates and continued them-; upon a ower basis "until "competing; , water ' nea have been driven out of busi ness, the commission recommends 'hat when a Tate ia once thus re luced by a, railroad It should not be nermltted to . raise ' it again unless, after hearing 'by the Jnterestate Hommerce Commission or other com petent body, it should be found that such proposed increase rests npon changed ' conditions other than the nilmlnation or decrease of water com- netltion. The most essential re quirements for the rehabilitation of water traffic te asserted to be the es tablishment of harmonious relations between railway and water lines. In practically every case of water routes the k boats - are operated, the report lays, In connection, ana m. unrmuuj, with railway lines. The commission believes transportation ,. facilities will k .ni further nmmnted bv compell ing joint rates and pro-rating agree ments,- tnrougn ouis i mums physical connection between rail and water agencies, separate warehouses and terminal . systems for railroads and waterways being often a waste of pjinltal. Terminal-- and . : wharfage charges should be reasonable regard less of the ownership of .these facilities.- f ;-;'".- '.-: V,;. . 1 ''( '-' The commission cannot see ita way clear: to recommend a general power a. minimtmi rntm. but a. majority of the commission would recommend empowering the interstate uommereo Commission to prescribe minimum railroad rates wnenever in ita opmiou that object of a railroad In reducing rates - is to aestroy ' waterwn wu. petlUon." The general tendency, the nommiealon points out, haa been to ward lower rates -and any general regulation which would directly or in i..ti. intorfora with this tendency would probably be Injurious, rather than ; otherwise. The subject of the n, nt viator pnmnetltlon 80 pears to be the only Question upon which the commission divided. Referring to criticisms upon the delay of Congress in. the development of water . routes the commission points to the fact that the use of the Hancea haa not been commensurate i .i.u tt.. ..mii ' IniMirrad. and to a !ark of propressiveness in providing uitable freight carrying facilities and to failure to provide modern terminal equipment' No Federal Improvement will suffice, . the commission Insists, itkn..f nnnarailnn of communities onH hn.lnflBH Interests and between rail and water routes. J 1 ! A uniform system is recommended, applicable to all waterways, under mav' be collected. showing the volume; and different kinds of traffic carneo on m ," and Inland channels, j . This wantry Is declared to be far behind several European countries In the of Inland navigation muiua, commission wants to Bee more exten sive information regarding high and low water and average discharge , ot ha .trenms in order to name huu execute plans for improvement - The commission is unwilling to recommend such a change as the cre ation of a board to decide upon the feasibility and desirability of propo anions for expenditures on rivers and harbors and pays high tribute to the work of the army engineer w , . .v., "withniit a careful and unbiased examination of proposed Im provements of the nature now re aulred by statute, -no project should be adopted by Congress," and recom- monds ."that nereauer ui policy be adopted of providing for the early completion ot any and all pro . .A. . .t,vn. and that only such number of projects should be commenced as win db uyiuyi.' for and completed within a reasonable nrnv it Bnvs. doflnlte results can be rlla upon, pinna can be made for utillRlnpc tlie BUouma Inirrorpd and expciiMt.s vory larpnly . saved. c.,r..fl provision Rlnmld alw bo nittdo for maintaining existing works, other wise the improvements already made will deteriorate. . . , In the general policy of Improving streams in waterway systems, the commission aavisea mat, vue umm stream be Improved first and raised to an adequate stage of efficiency before its tributaries; that preference be glv erf the lower portions of a stream, and. that Improvement proceed , as a rule from the mouth up.' -. ; J ' . Tha mnat. atrlklnff Instance cited of decrease water borne traffic Ja that of ha pvt. .anal, thnneh the commission regards as "quite as striking" the de crease In traffic on the ; Mississippi river and Ita tributaries. "In 1880 this canal (Erie) carried between Buffalo and New York," the report' says, "4,608,651 tons or 18 per nt ha tntoi t rofflfi. which In 1906 (the latest year for which statistics are available) the "canal carried only 2, 385,491 tons, or 3 per cent of the total .on .a tratnit i 78.703.315 tons transported by the New York Central and Erie railways, ' Not only has the actual traffic, on the canal de creased nearly 50 per cent since 1880, but the relative amount carried by the canal as compared witn we two rail roads, has fallen off from 18 to 3 per cent. Likewise, on as Important river the Hudson, the local river commerce, exclusive of what cornea through the CTiHa atonal hn nhnwn a considerable decline, The commercial statistics of the army engineer for the section of river between Coxsacie and the State dam at Troy show-a falling -of from 4,045,895 tons In 1898 to 2,045,921 in 1908. -y...?.',; ',-.-,(' ' ' ' i "On a number of Southern rivers also, such aa the Altamaha, Tombig bee and Pearl, there has been a mo-trail Wlln In river traffic." - Tha rannrt ftv on the other hand that the traffic on the great lakes has ( increased, enormously. Among what are called the artificial or tem porary advantages - of the railroads over the waterways are those which come i from power to, acquire steam boat lines or - to agree for stifling water-borne traffic, refusal to pro rate with water linea and better ;reight handling facilities. " r- "Construction of ., artificial canals j.nM tn tha nfiRRAea of sea-Kolna ships, according to the commission would be profitable only where first, they would connect-navigable waters near each otner Detween wnicn largo traffic would naturally exist, but for rapids " or comparatively : narrow strips of land, as in the case of the Saulte Ste Marie, Welland and Lachlne canals; or, aecond, where compara tively short canals wouia save a very great sailing distance, as in the cases of the Suez', Panama and Kaiser Wllhelm canals; or, third, where canals from the sea would extend to large cities . near, the coast, where large communities have become great freight 'consumers, as In the casea of the Manchester canal and the Bel gium system. The . commission cites many obvious disadvantages of these canals, say a it is conceivable the dis advantages might be lessened- some what, but makes no recommendation, tmnmnnunti ntit ABgentl&l to nav igation should not be undertaken by. the ' Federal government, me com mission thinks and improvements in . i i a, U rivers and naroors snoma um iw made, unless sufficient assurance Is liven that proper wnarves, terminals, etc, shall be furniefted, on reasona ble charges, by municipal or private .nterprlee. -' -: ' The commission recommends avoiding ' undue - multiplication of ports, Making harbor improvements useful to the largest number a proper dividing line between work under Federal and under city and private mniwinrtoHnna and measures for the greatest possible protection of prop irty abutlng on navigable and . non navigable streams witn due regard to the probable quantity ana vaiue t land benefited. 'The commission is unwilling ' to recommend the con struction of wharves '. and docks by the government . The tendency today In Europe, is lays, eeems to be toward retaining the masonary lock type, unleaa the Miuminna of - dam location . and of boat traffic are exceptional. "While ihe growth of traffic may eventually jihh.iij with nmnrtetv. the thoroueh uviunuu, - ' regularizatlon or canalization of all navigable waterways," the commis sion . holds, , tnere are aiway m ivery country, and especially In the United States, -many streams whose water-slopes, water-flow, , character ot bank and nea, etc., wiu rouuo thorough improvement by either nethod too expensive." , . Summarizing ondltlons abroad, the commission saya that the average Eu ropean freight rates on railways paralleling water routes, especially for ahort distances, are higher than h. TTnitoH atatea. 'the European .a u-"-"- . - fnr wntor-hnmn carriaKB are as invcg w. .. high or higher- than on railways In the United, '.States, where the traffic Is likewise large. The gen eral policy of most European coun tries la towards waterwaya improve ment. The population . density and railroad mileage per 1,000 population ihows the united states is muuu u adequately, furnished with means for railwav transportation. Engineer ing difficulties are, as a rule, less seri ous In Europe, ; where also sedulous care la taken to protect water-borne traffic from railroad competition. theory that the lords tad na Tight to Interfere In financial legislation, rejected the Lloyd-George budget In November by attaching an amendment calling for a dissolution of parlia ment and a general . election.

But the euccessful candidate's seat Is not assured. He Is elected and may take his seat but If every provision of the corrupt practices act haa not been met, then a petilon may be sart ed wherein a number of electora may allege violations of the act. If the ellegatlons are substantiated, the member Is unseated and is rendered Incapable of holding any office for the term of seven years, and he may ha further fined or Dunished. The corrupt practice act limits the amount of "money a candidate may spend In his campaign, limits specifi cally the things for which this money may be spent, and makes the candi date responsible not only for his own acts, but tor tnose oi nis ageuia auu supporters. Each candidate under the law Is required to appoint an election agent, and all campaign expenses must be paid through this agency. Expenses may range from $1,750 to 19,000 according to the population and area of the constituency. All claims for election expenses must be submitted to the candidate within 14 days after the election, aii sucu clalmB as allowed by a court must be paid within 28 days, and full and com m.hllc rot urns must be made IMCIU (1.'"" . within 35 days. The failure to meet any ot these requirements makes the election void.

Thus a supporter of a candidate may, without the candidate's knowl edge and against his express orders, onnthar man to a elass of beer "i' - in exchange for a vote. This act would void the election and unseat the mem ber. Employers are prohibited under heavy penalties, from influencing the votes of their employes, and the bene ficiary of such undue influence loses his seat.

The UlW W UC ' 1 J - - - prohibits the hiring of bands of music, and therefore English political speak ings are without the inspiration of brass music. The law prohibits the purchase or giving away of badges of distinction. An enthusiastic party mon at a rcent election printed, at his own expense, some cards to be worn tn hats, bearing the name of the party candidate for Parliament The expense altogether was $10 and the candidate knew nothing about It. But the law had been broken In his be half, and he lost his seat in Parlia ment Election expenses incurred by tne party for party purposes and not in the interest ot any particular cauu. date do not come under the law. A great deal of money Is spent in this way, and there is some corruption. A district may be flooded with free beer is often done in Lon- don, by "charitable organizations with political intent The result of all this machinery is that the house of commons is elected u a a vet-am nn nearlv free from cor- ...n that nn taint lies on the title of the house to represent- the will oi the electors.

Mr. Editor: It is generally understood that our good countyman, Hon. H. L. Cook will be ln the race for the Congressional nomination in the sixth district, and I want to suggest to the Democrats of the county to line up 'for him, and I believe that with a pull together, he will be nominated, and our county hon ored. That Mr. Cook is worthy and com petent no one can doubt; that he has rendered service of great value to the party in the county, district and State, all admit. As Presidential elec tor ln 1908, he canvassed the district at his own expense and time, and many Democrats in every county who know of his good work believe that he Is entitled to the nomination. It seems to be a precedent to promote the eleci tor by nomination for Congress It Is a very good precedent, and especially where the candidate is able and wor thy. In the flush of a vigorous man hood, kindly of heart fearless and de termined, when he thinks the occa sion demands It, popular with the peo ple, he will make an Ideal candidate for the party. The farmers would have a good friend In him, as he fully realizes that successful agriculture Is the basisof all enduring prosperity, and he Is broad enough in views and Informa tion to faithfully and honestly repre sent all the people, and we think has the tact and experience which will en able him to accomplish much for the people whom he would represent. Let's give him a solid and enthu siastic support, fellow Democrats, and let's Btand by him until he Is nominat ed. W. I I Druggist And Pharmacist i Next P. O. 'Phona 141.
