Big Fight Is Expected.

While the opponents of the policy of
a generous improvement of the rivers
and harbors of the country will con.
tinue their old cry of graft" and pork
barrel the men behind the bill are
getting ready to make a counter at
tack. The charge will be made that
the opponents of the bill are the poems
of the railroads. The logic of this
argument is seen in the fact that it
can be shown that water transporta.
ton and rail transportation are rivals
Therefore. when a we'll organized body
Of statesmen begins to hammer and
knock the Improvement Of water trans
portation then the water men see the
long arm of. the railroads in the deal.
And when once charge that
statesman is in the pay Of the railroads
is made the bowling and noise and
the smoke of the battle will be terrific.
For that reason there is every chance
of battle royal in Congress when the
rivers and harbors bill gets under
way.
1t was pointed out today by rivers
and harbors man that the biggest
rivers and harbors bill ever passed in
the history of the country was that of
1907. amounting to more than $87,000,-
600. 1t is peculiar that Senator Bur-
ton. the present enemy of the rivers
and harbors bills as they are reported
to the House and Senate. was in charge
Of that big bill and defended 1t, even at
that time, against the charge of
"nork"
