to slaughter eight hundred thousand men.

THE PORK LEGISLATION

There has been a great deal OF crit

pork legislation in congress, but II Is
worthy OF mote hat none Of the rep
resentatives made ans vigorous siahd
AGAINST his measure. II is the SAM
old story. every representative Is eN-
pected to brig something back -
his constituents and each helps the
others in pushing through tn" pof'
bill.
The constituencies are, therefore u
blame fully as much, IL not more
than the representatives who do the
.lob-roIiing. Nevertheless, il would ne
refreshing In sec some able congress
man achieve q national reputation Tor
opposition In the pork barrel. The
thing that prevents some men from
doing this is. that such a course would
destroy any congressman's influence
for his future. He would stand for
ever after as a marked man amons
the other members and everything h"
favored would be defeated unless x
was also desired by the majority. In
this way large appropriations are o.
