re money, long &ear for AY, MARCH 25, 1926 292 From 1829 to 1836 the state of Iliâ€" nois pasged legislation nuthoflm construction of the cahal as ed by the United States which was completed in 1848 In 1861 the legislature authorized a survey to enlarge the eflnl. j In 1866 General Wilson in a report demonstrated that the Illinois : river was the natural line by which the waters of Lake Michigan should be connected by those of the Mississippi river and up until 1890 a number of surveys were made of the Illinois river project showing a through line of water connecting from the Mississâ€" rl;;pl to Lake Michigan via the Illinois ver. * But, they have sat idly by, ‘little attention has been given to it by the farmer who is now in distréss on acâ€" count of high freight rates, by the merchant of the central west whose sales and income have been largely diminished by the loss of theâ€"producâ€" tiveness of the farm and the shortage of labor in the cities, by the manufacâ€" turer who has been unable to comnete with those on the Atlantic Coast line who take advantage ofthtoeunnfd Panama Canal rates. t f Again, in 1827 the British governâ€" ment refused our right to navigate the St. Lawrence. And congress then passed an act authorizing the state of Illinois to open the same canal and provided therein that there should be :h:nnt'to the state of Illinois for purpose of aiding the state dpen the canal to unite the hm;: of the <Illinois river with these of Lake: Michigan. f Favorable Report 40 Years Ago And, so, I quote a report on the Illinois and Michigan canal adopted byâ€"the Rivers andâ€"Harbors committed, August 5, 1886â€"which says "A waterâ€" way from Chicago to Grafton on the Illimois river is a most important one and when completed there is a little doubt that it will rightly pay for itâ€" self in the redcction and regulation of freights." § f For three and oneâ€"half years as a member of congress I have been makâ€" ing spec¢hes, sending out propoganda and using every effort to wake up the people of the Illinois and Mississippi valley to a realization that they were about to lose the only chance they will ever have to develop a great natural resource into a transportation system, second only to the Panama CanT either in importance or size. ‘~ During all of the terms of Congress, from 1900 to. the present date, there have bag'g:-turu made for the passâ€" age of a making a deep waterway through the Illinois and | Mississippi rivers the Gulf of Mexico. â€" But, until ':afi years, it was impossible to convince the congress of the United States of ‘the great necessity, of the west for this waterway. . _ i.t"t:! after the British government given definite expresgsion of its attitude denying the American citiâ€" zens the right to navigate. the.

It. means this: that it '&1 put us in a position to mpmik the Atâ€" lantic coast and the /Pacific coast in cheap transportation; it méans that the farmer will save sgeven cents on every‘ bushel of grain that he ships to the seacoast or port; it means that In 1828 and in 1831 this same t Lingoln made two trips dor th:m- noig and Mississippi rivers, the greatâ€" ¢est ‘inland water course, and ‘recomâ€" mended it for the transportation reâ€" lief of the richest agricultural district of the whole world. | TELLS SOME FACTS In 1860 the great state of Illinois gave to the nation Abraham Lincoln who became the outstanding figure of the world. t Previous to Lincoln making these ,tflmenam-:b-dm:-ed!umlm Honorable William ‘E.
