We don't know what the ultimate fate of this tardy legislation will be in the final rush of the closing- aession.

But we do know that the State Senate has given heed to an insistent demand that this Legislature should recognize the vital importance of internal waterways to the state's economic prosperity, and to the well- being of the whole nation. It is hard to explain the extraordinary apathy of the present Assembly, with a progressive record in other constructive legislation, as regards the larger lakes-to-gulf waterway project. The people of Illinois voted 320,000,000 some years ago, at a statewide referendum, to build state waterways that will give a continuous navigable channel from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. A former Legislature made a 55.000,000 appropriation to start this work by building an eight-foot channel from Lockport to Utica, thus linking up Chicago's big drainage channel with the navigable parts of the Illinois River. Governor Dunne named a waterway commission to superintend the work.

Tha courts upheld the constitutionality of the act. All that-was left was the obtaining of a federal permit. I No official act by the present state I administration, since assuming office January last, and no move in either branch of the Legislature, has been directed toward the obtaining of a 'ederal permit. As we said at first, the Big Muddy project, which has obtained the sane- ion of the State Senate, will be an mportant factor in a general state yatem of internal waterways, but it comparatively local in scope. It is an official acceptance of the value of internal waterways along the inea ol least resistance, for it will only ost 81,000,000 or less.

Yet the collateral benefits from even his start in internal waterways will enormous, Vaat coal fields in iouthern Illinois, now lying dormant or lack of sufficient; rail tranaporta- lon, will be opened to the world-'a markets. It is proposed not only to make the lig Muddy River, which runs through hese coal deposits, navigable for but to build a six-mile canal o. the Mississippi River as au outlet. By using the present Illinois aud lichigan Canal a fleet of thousands of oal-laden barges will thug have di- ect access to Chicago and the possi- ility of coal famines such as threat- ned this city last Winter will be pre- ented. That is the prospects as to supply, ut there is the additional advantage cheaper coal when the low-cost arge facilities are opened.

Thus far we have spoken only of di- ict economic benefits to the State of linois, including Chicago. As a factor in the mobilization of fuel supplies that this nation will imperatively need, if the present war is prolonged, the internal waterways are vital. A movement is now on foot to use the enlarged Erie Canal, in New York fcjtate, for the transmission of coal and bulk foodstuff? to the seaboard, leaving the railroads froe to use their insuf ficient equipment for other classes of freight. In war time or in peace times, the value of internal waterways need no elaboration. It is something gained when on branch of the Illinois Legislature tardily takes the view that waterway projects have been neglected too long.
