The Panama Canal demands
great preparation on our part to bej
ready with our Gulf Ports for the
great commerce that naturally must
come this way.
It is clear to my mind that the
commercial emancipation of the
country cr.n he secured not so miu
by law eiuter through Congress or
Railroad Commission directly appli-
cable to the railway rate as by es-
tablishing a natural method of com-
petition and a consequent subjection
of them to the free and natural laws
of trade where water transportation
now is possutle. This emancipation
will be found in the improvement of
our waterways. Open rivers and

The competition in the commerce.
and the example or other nations
in the creation of greater facilities
for the accommodation ami exten-
sion of foreign commerce imposes
upon us the obligation not to relax

As lnc. prosperity oi every com-
muuity must depend on uio enici-
ency of its carriers ami ino capac-
individual is interested in the proper
solution of the transportation prob-
lem. This problem is so comprehensive
that it involves not only a wise and
liberal policy on the part of the
government in improving the har-
bors and the inland waterways of
the country but also a wise policy
in the treatment of private capital
invested in the transportation facili-
ties employed on water and on land. .
I believe that the solution is to be
