II can not harmonize my views OF
public service with the proposition OF
assisting In footing the public treas
ury under the excuse that my town ana
city or state receives part OF the loot.
I am a believer in the old fashioned
notion that we in congress are sort
of guardians of the public money. If
any guardian should dissipate his
wards property as the public money
is wasted in the appropriations at
Washington, he would at least be re-
moved from his guardianship, if not
sent to jail.
Millions to Improve Greeks.
The river and harbor bill is con-
structed upon the same theory. equally
as vicious. Twenty-Five million dollars
are appropriated for creeks and rivers
where in many instances God Almighty
forbids any flow of water. and some
harbors where no boats could float. l
have always contended that while free
baths and free barber shops We're small
matters, and free seeds likewise. l be-
lieve the practice of these things made
it easier for members OF congress to
be wasteful and extravagant in the ex-
penditure of public funds. And the
river and harbor appropriation and
public building bill are illustrative of
that fact and that large CRAFTS are
made easy thru the practice of small
ones.
If l do not properly represent the
sentiment OF Iowa upon that question.
l am sorry. No amount of public

should prefer to retire from public life
A public dollar ought TO be spent in
the same way as a private dollar. l do
not mean by this that ! am opposed
to public buildings. 1t is right and
proper that the government should
have them, but the amount expended
ought to bear some relationship to the
size Of the town and the income of the
office
Every public building proposition
and every river and harbor proposition
should stand on its own merit. Men in
congress should NOT be compelled to
vote for wrong propositions in order
10 secure the passage of right ones
and l do not purpose to assist in that
kind of legislation.
