way which the government de-
mands. This was regarded as espe-
cially important by Key Miller of
Houston, active vice president of
the association. He explained that
in the absence of such an organina-
tion delays in construction work
when the canal route finally is
located might ensue.
In recognition of its principal ac-
tivities the convention adopted an-
other resolution authorizing intra-
coastal officers and directors to co-
operate with Mississippi Valley As-
sociation “In any and every way in
furthering the splendid work of that
organization." 1
With respect to the general wats
erways program of the federal gov-
ernment the resolution recited that
the projects now before congress
involve an estimated expenditure of
$250,000,000. They alee declare that
unless present annual appropria-
tions are substantially Increased
these projects cannot be completed
in less then 10 years.
Out of this situation as ths reso-
lutions view It, grows the declare*
tion that “the public welfare de-
mands the adoption by. the federal
government of ca comprehensive,
definite business policy with res
spect to improvement of the water-
ways. .
"That such policy.” the resolu-
tions continue, “should hevs for its
prims purpose the construction and
completion of all meritorious pro-
jects recommended by the govern-
ment engineers as rapidly as ths
work can be done economically and
practically.
“That to accomplish this end the
federal government should formu-
late and adopt a comprehensive and
adequate plan of financing which
will insure the completion of all
adopted projects es speedily as may
be economical and practicably."

Money Returned.
Mr. Moody told it was leernod
thet the money had been collected
under contracts made with the
otate of Texes. Hs explained that
the representatives of the American
Head Company, at the direction of
the attorney general of Texas, sent
telegrams to R. J. Windrow at Kan-
car City, who had the authority to
check on the American Reed Com-
pany account at the Commerce

1 the bonds to the American Ex-
change National Bank at Dallas. in
order that they might be Teetered to
the jurisdiction of Texas courts.
Before the messages ordering the -,__... .
return of, the bonds to Texas, Mr. street.—Adv.
— lowed for this work was and le ex-
orbitant, I desire to stete that, th
[my opinion, from the good accom-
plished end the saving made to the
state In
and stoppage of rapid deterioration
of the roads, that I shall consider
it an advantageous contract for the
wistate until otherwise proven. If
Mr. Moody will show me that the
price is exorbitant or is too high
for the nature of the work per-
formed, as under the contract, it
will not be necessary for him to
file any suit to cancel contracts in
my section as ths contrast provides
that the highway commission may
stop work at any time and all Mr.
Moody will have to do Is to pre-
sent facts showing the price to be
too high and I shall then esk the
commission to cancel the contract.
I feel that Mr. Moody should be
willing to present his findings oh
the matter to the commission la or-
dor that litigation might be pre-
vented. If his contention to just
and correct, he may root assured
that I, for one. obeli insist on the
contracts being cancelled; other-
wise 1 shall 'maintain that they are
reasonable contracts and wholly
justified under the circumstances
If I have made a mistake I want
to remedy it, but I am not willing
to cancel any contracts on mere
rumor,"
TEACHERS PROTE
Continuation of the estate or In-
heritance* tax was recommended by
E. D. Chassell of Chicago, speaking
for the Mortgage Bankers’ Associa-
tion. He suggested amendment of
the law, however, to allow full
credit in settlement of federal dues
for ths amount paid by an estate on
state inheritance taxes.
The association also urged an
amendment which would impose
higher rates on the amount of tax
exempt securities In an estate.
Further reductions in tax on thea-
ter tickets was urged by the Motion
Picture Producers and Distributors
of America. Its spokesmen declared
the tax le paid by the general pub-
lie and its removal “would be in
line with the administration’s poll,
cy of lightening the burden for the
greatest possible number of tax-
payers." .
