PORK BARREL DAY PASSING.
President Announces New Waterway

President Announces New Waterway
improvement Policy.
Cincinnati. - Declaring that tho
days OF The pork barrel should be
numbered. President Taft. in an adj
dress at the Ohio Valley exposition,
pointed out the evils of a majority In
any legislative body passing laws TO
benefit only sections of the country,
ignoring the territory represented by
the minority.
The president said that the country
Is reused against corrupt control Of
legislative agencies, but that selfish
combinations of the representatives of
the majority are equally dangerous.
President Taft said in part:
We have reached a new epoch in
the matter of improvement of our wa
terways. The public is greatly
aroused by the confident and Just be-
lief that by a more symmetrical, rea-
sonable and prompt expenditure of
money upon approved projects, rates
for transportation may be lowered, and
the business of the country entirely
benefited.
We could collect, IL we desired, IL
braries of records of meetings of wa
terways conventions, full of statistics.
full of general prophesies as to the
marvellous improvement of waterways
near at hand.
AS a country, we are all in favor of
the most effective and economical ex-
penditure for the development Of our
waterways, but as members of a dis
trict, and as representatives of dis
tricts, we are selfishly insistent upon
our shares of public appropriations
each year. however much that division
Of the spoil impedes the adoption of
the effective and economical improve
ment of our water transportation.
1t is the duty of the majority and
the minority to legislate always for
the benefit of the whole people, and
any enactments that look to the selfish
explorations of less than the whole ct
the expense of the whole. and without
benefit to the whole, Is a species of
legislative abuse that comes very near
corruption in its effects, and is per-
haps more dangerous than corruption,
because those who support such a
combination are generally bold in its
defense. The days of the pork barrel
should be numbered. The country is
reused against corporate or corrupt
control of legislative agencies, but it
is doubtful whether the constituencies
as yet are able to perceive the higher
obligation on the part Of themselves
and their representatives, not to use
their votes in combination to appropri
ate to part that which belongs to
the whole.
