Pork Barrel LeRislation

The first bill for harbor improve
ments was passed by congress
March 3. 1923. Enemies Of the bill
alleged that its advocates voted for
II purely for political reasons. to
make themselves popular among
their constituents by getting some
thing for their districts. This so
called rush upon the federal treas
ury was compared to the rush made
by the slaves on the southern plan
tatIons when the pork barrel was
opened. River and harbor improve
ment bills were ever after face
tiously called pork barrel bills.
Later the term was extended to any
legislation supposedly passed for
purposes of political patronage. The
total contributions to a campaign
fund are sometimes called the pork
barrel.

Howe About:
Silerius' Third Wife
Winding Your Business
American Waste
By ED HOWE
e Bell Syndicate service-

0y ELL M "
GO FAR as my reading goes no one
- has ever more candidly. intelligent
Iy or fairly discussed the relations Of
married couples than Silerius, who
lived near the time of the most famous
outrage on women recorded In history:
that suffered by Sabine women who
were carried of by invading soldiers
Some authorities claim Silerius him
self was a general in the conquering
army concerned. and that a screaming
Sabine woman was delivered al his
tent as his part Of the loot
AS near as can be learned from the
vague history Of that time this wom-
an, so violently courted, became the
third wife of Silerius; and although
carried from her own country 70
strange one by a conqueror, with no
other preliminary than being suddenly
seized by rough invaders, she was so
capable in looking after her own in
terests that her abductor later married
her; indeed. she became prominent
and respected In the inhospitable city
in which her husband lived.
