Flood Control for the Mississippi Valley

President Wilson has proposed to Congress that as soon as the Panama Canal is finished, the machinery be brought to the Mississippi and Ohio valleys to build great embankments that will control the floods that do so much damage in those sections almost every year. It is proposed to meet the immense cost of the plan by appropriations from Congress and by the floating of what will be known as "flood bonds."
