Flood Control. Directly affecting the Treasury, and therefore the degree of wise tax reduction, is the most pressing extra-budget item of all flood control in the Mississippi Basin. The Administration's $296,400,000 program, of which the States benefited were to pay $37,080,000, besides furnishing rights of way, was scrapped in February by the House Committee on Flood Control and replaced by an expansive $473,000,000 program, to be borne entirely by the U.

The new bill calls for a $250,000,000 revolving fund to be loaned by the Government to marketing associations to aid in selling surplus crops in an "orderly" way. Also, it would establish a Federal Farm Board to administer this fund and it removes all restrictions from...
...Such a program comes not far from the ideal of President Eliot. As a type of education for secondary schools, it appears excellent; whether or not it is successful there may soon be known through the experiment at Avon, Connecticut, where such a school is now in existence. But as a college measure it possesses serious defects, beyond the almost insurmountable task of supplanting by it the present system...
