CRITICISM OF

WATER MEETING
PRESIDENT KAvANAUGH OF
\ LAKEs-To-GULF ASSOCIATION
IN ANNUAL ADDRESS SAYS TAFT
is PARTIAL TO OWN RIVER.

st. Louis. Nov. 25.-The convention
Of the Lakes-to-the-gulf deep water
way association began here today. Re-
ports Of the secretary and treasurer,
and an address by President kavan-
augh was the principal business OF the
morning session.
Oppose Pork Barrel.
Presllent Kavanaugh reviewed the
work Of the association and declared
it had consistently opposed the pork
barrel policy and demanded that
river betterment be put on practical
basis For years." he said that has
been the associations policy and as a
result public sentiment has been
changed and the demands for water
ways improvement have become nom
political. Even the president, despite
the growing Indifference toward our
great project and favorable leaning
toward his own river, has announced
that hereafter no pork barrels Will re-
|ceive his approval.
Continuing Kavanaugh declared the
association through It's advocacy of
business instead of political methods
has Implanted IN the hearts of the
people sense Of civic duty rising
above the call Of parties on the demand
of bosses and let him who doubts re-
call the ides Of November.
kav naugh Criticises TAFT.
Referring to the provision in the
act OF congress making small ap-
preparation for the gulf deep waterway
conditional upon the approval OF the
board OF engineers, Kavanaugh said
It was well intended and had the in
tent been carried out faithfully, the
critical stage Of the waterway project
now doubtless would have been passed.
But he said, though an ofnctal partial-
lity, the president postponed appoint
Ing this board so long that 1t was APP
parent the board g report must be hasti-
" arrived at, and he appointed men on
the board whom the people feared
were unfriendly to the project. Thus
by indirection," declared Kavanaugh,
the purpose Of the legislation has been
delayed II not thwarted." He ex-
pressed the opinion that the president
"misiudges the temper OF the people
OF the interior and indeed OF the coun-
try at large" Our need, he said. is
for legislation so specific that it will
become effective despite indifference
and unfriendliness from any quarter,
however exalted or however unex-
pected and,unwarranted the opposition
may be.
