KENYON HOPES To
CUT PORK BARREL
Iowa Senator Believes He Is
Making Roadway and May
Be Able to Force
Reductions.

Washington. May 16.-Opponents Of
the pork barrel" features OF the Iiv-
ers and harbors bill, who are now wag-
ing wal on It In the Senate, are con-
WINGED they are making Roadway
against 1t. They expect the fight to
continue for some days and feel that
in that time much public sentiment
will be mustered against 1t.
Senator Kenyon this year IL leading
the fight against the bill, al Senator
Burton, nov retired from the Senate,
led 1t in the las congress. A NUM-
Der Of other senators, without regard
to party hines, are opposing the meas
ure. Among those who are against 4,
or rather against q number of its
items, are Senators Sherman, Smoot,
Curtis, LaFo1lette, Norris Harding
Cummins and Husting.
The bill, which carries s43, 000, 600.
undoubtedly has enough votes In tho
Senate to carry it through. This Is
not saying, however, that It VIII carry
SAB, 000, 600 when 1t passes In the last
congress a minority Of the Senate was
able TO force large reductions in the
river and harbor appropriations.
Reports that the fight q the river
and harbor bill win be abandoned are
erroneous. The fight has only begun:
we Will attack every item which Is obs
noxions." This was the statement OF
a senator who is opposed to the meas
ure. Senators Kenyon and Sherman
plan to offer many amendments. These
may days.
