Done by a Republican Congress.

Scranton (Pa.) Republican,
The pork barrel" has met with
the stern disapproval of the present
Congress. Fer the first time in many
years Republican leaders have
served notice on all members that
for the present there will be no pub
lie building appropriations. River
and harbor appropriations will be
made only in cases where public in
terests would suffer if some ex-
penditures were not made.
Congress acts in this manner be-
cause rigid economy is imperative
to protect the interests of the peo-
pie. There are. in the requests for
new public buildings. many meri-
torious cases. but they will have to
be deferred fog a few years until
SUFFICIENT revenue is in sight.
In other words. Congress, RESPONSE
BILE for such appropriations as it ap-
proves. has decided that economy
must be real and not feigned. II is
being extended to every feature Of
national expenditures.
