VETO OF SEGREGATED
PORK" ITEMS URGED
Chamber of Commerce of u. S. to Bal.
lot on Proposed Enlarged Power.

Lack OF power Of the chief executive to
| veto so-called pork barrel items in ap-
preparation legislation is dealt with in
| referendum soon to be voted upon by
| members of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States. Commercial Or
ganizations, both local and national to
the number OF about 800, will be asked to
express opinions as to whether the
United States Constitution should be 80
| amended as to permit the President to
approve or disapprove any separate items
or provisions contained in any appropri-
alton bill.
1t is argued that the President Is prac-
tically powerless to prevent abuses which
lie at the root of certain governmental
he can exercise no discretion as to in
dividual items but must accept or rs1ect
measure as a whole.
The question at issue was presented by
the Merchants Associa ation of New York.
who declared it is prima facie the intent
of abe Constitution that the President
shall have power to prevent enactment Of
legislation to which he objects, unless
upon a reconsideration two-thirds of the
members of each House reapprove the
bill This implies that the President
shall be free to give effect to his indie
pendent judgment upon the merits OF
bills which come before him for approval
or disapproval.
General appropriation bills are COM
monty delayed until near the closing
hours of Congress- the Merchants Asso-
citation argument continues, land effec-
tive scrutiny and revision of them by
either House is extremely difficult and
practically impossible. They are the
channels through which all sorts of Jobs
and Questionable appropriations find their
easy course. Innumerable items, which
II embodied In separate bills would have
no chance of passage. are included in the
general appropriation bills as the result
OF the log rolling process. whereby the
members of Congress extend friendly con-
sideration to each others wasteful or
extraVagant measures, whose passage Is
sought not on public grounds. but solely
to promote the interests of individual
Congressmen with their constituents"

midshipmen will be dropped from the

Perhaps among these unfortunate
eighty-two are to be found some who
have publicly boosted that the service
could not do without them. and there
was no fear that any midshipman
would be obliged" because the Navy
wanted officers whether they pass
examinations or not. or words TO that

men were not strenuous enough in inn
