Especial Correspondence.l

lopcSidl SoAl
Washington. April S-Three hundred
thousand dollars worth of pork" in a
single $1.O0O0 900 appropriation is pretty
expensive business for the public. That,
however, is what Representative James
w. Good> charged was the amount OF
the fat profit for private dredging con-
tractors in one item in the river and
harbor bill. This item was an allow
ance of $1,000,O00 for continuing work
on the inland channel between Norfolk,
Va. and Beaufort, North Carolina.
Mr.. Good made startling allegations
as to the methods of the dredging con-
tractors. Pooling and extortion were
among these allegations. Giving din
ners to accelerate opinion among con-
gressmen was another method.
Mr.. Good wanted the appropriation
cut down because, as he showed. the
government was paying the dredging
contractors for their work on. this pro-
ject about twice what the government
itself could do the work for. In the
face of big expenditures for this chan
mel, it's commerce was falling off.
The debate in which Mr., Good en-
gagged in connection with this matter Is
illuminating as to some of the things
going on in connection with river and
harbor work in this country. Mr.. Good,
as the Record shows. said: 81 '
Mr. Good.-We are now appropriate
ing $1,OOO000 for this project, 100000
of it to be done by private contract.
which means a profit to the private
contractors of not less than 100000.
Mr.. Chapman. hold in my hand let
ter which contains the private report
of the board of directors of the Atlantic
e. Gulf Coast Dredge Owners Associa-
ton. It is an interesting report. and
when read it see the reason assigned
why we appropriate money In these
large sums for the profit of the private
dredge owners. Why. let US see
Mr.. Sparkman.-Does the gentleman
wish to be understood as charging the
committee on rivers and harbors with
making appropriations for the benefit
of dredge owners?
MIR. Good would not charge the
gentleman from Florida with doing
anything that was in the least degree
improper I think the gentleman from
Florida has been imposed upon by these
dredge owners, in getting into this bill
large appropriations in order that a rev
dredge owners can receive unreasonable
profits.
Mr.. Sparkman.-I want to thank the
gentleman for his certificate Of charac-
ter. -. !. -. e.. ~
Mr.. Good-Does the gentleman from
Florida think this is a meritorious pro-
ject, and that in view of the present
state of the treasury we ought to ap-
propriate 100000 this year for this
project? ~
Mr. Sparkman.-I think If we are go
ing to complete that project, the sooner
we complete it the better. and the larger
the appropriation the sooner 1t will be
completed. ~&..- ... ,.
Mr. Good--I think the sooner we drop
it the better. But want to read some
of the things that these dredge owners
have reported in their convention. Sc
cretly. The first thing is fixing prices.
Why, there is no competition. Here Is

THE PRESS AND THE PRIMARY.
[Des Moines Capitall

lDeS MONIES NdplldlI
The primary election laws would
seem to put new duty and RESPONSE
-bility. upon the press, AS a rule the
people do not know much about the
candidates. They are depending upon
the newspapers to tell them. The
northern newspapers are backward.
For twenty years they have been sup
pressing personalities and lining up on
what they felt to be a decenter basis.
But the democratic newspapers of the
south devote practically half their
space to the issues pertaining to the
primary election. Candidates are
praised or denounced in response to the
ideas Of the editor as to their fitness or
unfitness. Take the Underwood H OBJ
son campaign In Alabama During its
progress the democratic newspapers Of
Alabama were red hot for or against
some man. Northern editors would not
surrender SO much space to any per-
Sonal issue.
The people of the north find fault
with the conduct Of northern papers
because they do not undertake to tell
the people whom to nominate. But
those who criticise the papers under
crticise still more. if the papers under
took to dictate. The Capital undertook
to tell the people few years ago that
a certain candidate for membership on
the board of supervisors was not a
fit person for such a responsible place
Other influences prevailed, however
and the objectionable man was not
only nominated, but elected 1t was
privately explained that the editor had
grudge against the candidate. Hence
the editors advice was not accepted
| Sometimes it is easy to make it appear
| that the editor has a grudge

Unlike the rest Of the Serbs. how
ever. the Montenegrins did not sue

leadership first Of their Prince George
Balsha and later of their national hero,
Ivan the Black, they withdrew to their
mountains.

In the present war Montenegro has
borne only a minor part. King Nicho-
