PORK" VANISHING
FROM CONGRESS
Revenues Aren't Coming in
So Fast and Outgo
Must Lessen.
Public Buildings and Rivers
and HaTbOrS to Go
Over.

There is liable not to be a single bit
of pork for Congressional patriots this
year.
The river and harbor bill and the
public buildings bin are the great
choice, luscious pap-carrying measures
which make the hearts of statesmen
glad. This is the year for a public
buildings bill. on the theory that mas
commonly obr<rocd lately, Of having me
two measures Clternata. Last year the
rivers and harbors bill carried about
sS5.O00.OOO which is far more than ever
before. But last year there was DIG
surplus and nobody suspected string
ency. Now the revenues are falling on
and II isn't easy 10 figure where the
money is 10 come from.
The great movement for Improvement
of internal waterways, it is said mas
produced surprisingly small results III
actual, effective pressure on Congress
for the scheme Of an annual appropria-
ton Of S50OOO,0O0. Members Of the
House Committee say they have had
small occasion TO note that public opln-
ion is any more insistent than ever
They are working away on the preIlIEl-
nsrfes. and there is desire 70 nave d
small bill passed in order 10 estaDllsh
the precedent of annual instead OF bl-
enniaI appropriation measures but
there's trouble about doing II.
1--WE will have L. reorganize and I'M
mensely increase the engineering force
of the army, which has charge or these
works II we are TO do any more i'm
uroving.' said a leading member OF the
committee. "The fact is that we nave
been getting ahead Of the engineers al
ready; they can't make plans TO spend
the money so fast as we have ladied %
ont IN them. It isn't easy 70 hGnt Up
skilled and experienced engineers 20 take
charge Of such difficult and technical
work. We must develop more experts
before We can increase very largely our
scheme"
This consideration may prove sufIl-
cfent TO kill the river and harooI

situation were not enough. AS 10 the

fathers, brothers, and wives who suffer
from the use OF sumulants and drugs

today for disposing of these unfOrtunates
as has for many years. Some of those
who make appeals are prepared and
willing to pay for proper treatment,
others are wholly dependent upon the

be no such institution as an inebTlate
