Most of us who live in the Southwest have been through floods and know what the situation is. -and let us assume that .they are homeless. The Federal Government. then. might resonably -be called upon to furiish tents and cots. because -it -is a work thatcan not be performed by these communities. In great cities during a season of flood I have seen the churches. the public .halls. and schoolhouses packed -with refugees from flooded districts. But there is no necessity for ifeeding the refugees out of the Federal Treasury. The minute .you begin it you will have the same demand -added -and augmented .by political pressure from every locality where any disaster occurs. It will be irresistible upon the men representing those localities on the floor of this :Congress.
