Two More Attacks on constitutionaIity

Washington. Feb. 1.-Two more at
facIzs on the, constitutionality of the
corporation tax provisions of the Al

riations. being satisfied with the hous.


bill.
During the discussion of the bill in
the house the amount of appropria-
tions for Connecticut was touched up
on by Representative Moore. of Penn
sylvania, who is greatly interested in
the project for spending large sums of
money on eastern waterways, to offset
the expenditures proposed on. the
Mississippi river. Mr.. Moore wass try
ing to show that the east is not re-.
ceiving its share of the river and har
Dor appropriations. and he asked the
chairman of the committee if he could
state how much the government has
appropriated since the beginning of
time in the state of Connecticut for
rivers and harbors.
Mr. Moore had to answer his own
question, and said: About $4,000, 900
on present annual tonnage of $780,
600 tons. And s5.000.00 appropriated
to that state and all ITS rivers and
harbors since the beginning of time is
less than you propose to put into the
Mississippi for one year, where the
commerce is not equal to that of the
single state of Connecticut today
Mr.. Alexander replied to this: Ma
ture helped the harbors of Connecti-
cut, as it helped many others. Great
amounts of money must be expended
on frarbors where nature has had to
be improved upon
And that ended the incident.

THE POsTOFF|Ci
At WAYNEsBORO
Not Certain What Amount
Will Be Appropriated
For II

Mr.. j. A. Patterson of Waynesboro,
was in STAUNTON yesterday. In a
conversation with representative of
the DISPATCH he said that Waynes-
boro was not certain as to her status
with regard to the new postoffice. A
bill has passed congress making an
appropriation for post Office, but
just what amount is to be appropriate
ed it seems hard to tell. The bill as
introduced appropriated $40, O0O-the
bill as passed seems to strike $4,000
from this That would leave $65, 900
very comfortable sum. Yet there is
donbt, he says, in some minds as to
whether the appropriation may not
be s., ,0O0 If this be so. the effort to
get building will be futile one as
a postofice building costing only
IS, 600 would not be adequate to Way
nesboro, and the people would have
little pride in it. The government,
however, is not given to making ap-
SO small as $1,000 for
any public building, SO that Little
Tammany should rest easy for awhile
at least, in the hope that she will
soon have handsome public building
in keeping with the necessities and
progress Of the town.
