May Veto River and Harbor Grab.
It has recently been frequently an
nOUnced that if the river and harbOr
bill as at present drafted passes both
houses of congress, it viii be unsatisfac-
tory to President Mckinley and that ne
will therefore, follow the action Of some
of his predecessors. one of wnOm was
Mr.. Cleveland. by either vetOing or fail
ing to affX his signature 10 the measure.
thereby preventing II from becoming d
law at this session of congress The
president is said 10 hold 10 the opinion
that IL is bad politics for the legiSiat tive
branch of the government to pile up an
appropriation of something like Sl5,uJoQJJ
for the alleged Improvement OF water
ways in various sections Of the country
The bill that is now pending carries a
much greater appropriation than any like
measure passed in any congress in the
past. There are, of course, many of these
waterway projects that are considered
feasible, and the president, if these are
selected widely and the appropriations
cut to what he thinks would be a judlci-
Gus figure. would meet his approval
There is a possibility that those who
have charge of the measure will see the
absolute necessity Of meeting the presi-
dents views of pairing down this enorm-
Gus appropriation TO what might be con
sidered a legitimate expenditure Tor
necessary Improvements in all sections of
the country If this is done. the pres1-
dent when the bill is sent to him. VIII
probably approve it,
