One Of the measures pending in

adjournment early in September was
the so-called omnibus public build
ings bill II was a measure redolent
of "pork"-the kind which con-
gressmen draw when they want to
curry favor at home and have small
consideration for national treasury
conditions.
Pres't Wilson was opposed to the
bill. \ stable minority in the
house was opposed TO il. Public
sentiment. so far as il found ex-
preston. was opposed 10 it, The
bill was not passed, which should
have been the end OF it.
But now this offensive omnibus
measure comes again TO public at
tention. The committee on public
buildings and grounds which has
the bill in charge. instructs its
chairman 10 call it up for passage
at the earliest opportunity. the COM
mittee having already in the previ-
Gus session recommended its pas
sage. II will. therefore. come TO an
early issue in the house.
As il stands this measure calls
for an expenditure OF S22.OOG.OOO.
In the nature Of the case the amount
will be increased before the house
will consent TO its passage. A few
more millions might be added in
the senate. The more friends the
bill finds the more pork" il will
accumulate.
