Mississippi Will
Be Made Deeper
Washington.—Among the im
T*nr-r«t ..a+envays developments,
considered liy secretary of com
merce Hoover of paramount im
port; cc :n preparing the United
Stales for an anticipated increase
of -10.009,01)0 population in the next
quarter century, is that of the
MiV- ippi valley system.
“In the great basin of the Miss
issippi there is the possibility of
a development of most fundamen
tal importance— primarily naviga-.
lion, but also embracing many fac
tor--. 0f flpod-cioTitrol reclamation
and power,” Hoover declared.
For a moderate cost can be
provided a modern transportation
system of nine thousand miles of
connected waterways, serving twen
ty states, furnishing a complete
north and south trunk line across
'ha nation through the lakes from
■bd-ith through Chicago to the
Gulf of Mexico and east and west
system from Pittsburg to Kansas
C;t. . according to Hoover.
In addition, it was pointed nut,
are »he great channels of the Up
per Mississippi, the Upper Miss
oni'’, the Cumberland, Tennessee,
"r.d Arkansas rivers, which would
contf -'h-P ' to a marvelous inland
waterways system that would eli
minate millions of dollars from the
hnnua! wastes attributed to trans
portation.
“It has become of vitg^ import
ance, to the state which would be
■wived that this system should be
deepened at once,” Hoover added.
“The necessary rise in railway
rates duo to the war, has erected a •
series of toll gates around these
states by which it costs more to
export ar.d more to import ail
their commodities while many of
t.heV chief competitive countries
enjoy pie war rates.”
Hoover pointed out that these
conditions have retarded the econ
omic life of the states, and contri
buted to the difficulties of agricul
ture and irdustry. Bv experience
nn the St. Louis to New Orleans
segment of the Mississippi it has
already been proved that the mod
ernized water-borne service can
successfully reduce the cost of
trap iportation on bulk commodities
co pre-war rates, according Jo
Hoover.
"'ho nation has dilly-dallied up
on it for years, and today even
< ho v/o’-k which has been well done
lies in disconnected serments, which
are as much the negation of a real
transportation system as the New
Central would be if it were made
of alternate narrow and broad
tvneks.” Hoover declared.
“Moreover this system not only
requires attention to direct im
provement of navigation channels;
it urgently requires a determina
tion of nlans to create headwater
storage in some of its tributaries
with a view to the control of
floods thus saving vast wastes of
destruction, and providing an in
crease of low water flow not only
“s « contribution to summer nav
igation, but also for its direct re
turns in reclamation and land and
power."
