CANNON OPPOSED.
Doesn't Favor Appropriation Of $1,000,
100000 Issue Of Bonds.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Speaker Cam
non today made known his unalterabic
opposition to the proposal that national
waterways improvements be financied
by the issuance of sovernlnent bonds in
a characteristic address to the dele
gates attending the Rivers and Har-
bors Congress.
His position in regard to the bond
issue scheme was made clear when he
declared that IF. perchance, it were
possible-and / do not believe it is
possible-the rivers and harbors COM
mittee should report bill to Con-
gress. providing that there should lie
an issue for the next 10 years to meet
the proposed Improvement bonds in the
amount of $l,000,000 900 I would not
vote for it
The pronouncement Of Speaker Can
non cast gloom over the congress, as
the advocates of the bond issue had
strong hopes of favorable considera-
tion Of their proposition by the federal
Congress. Mr.. Cannon's attitude is at
variance with that of Vice President
Fairbanks, Andrew Carnegie and
others as expressed before the Rivers
and Harbors Congress yesterdays
Now nobody wants the federal Con-
gress in the next 50 days to commit an
expenditure of $4,000. 900, 900 for wat
erWays and to issue bonds" said Mr..
Cannon. IF it is necessary-and great
works are necessary in peace and war
Ito issue bonds, l stand ready to issue
bonds. But expenditures must be safe
and sane. ] do not want this work or
any other work to be done except it be
done safely and sanely"
