12 NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD. TUESDAY, MAY 30, 1916. UAGES AND JIGS FOR VAR TIMES ng. Tilson Emphasizes Their ped-Other Washington News (Special to the Herald.) ashington, May 30—The neces- Iy of the government getting a antity of gauges, jigs and other hments so that it can be ed readily to the production of hnitions of war, and for other steps the direction of preparedness, was elt upon by Representative Tilson Connecticut in a brief speech be- the house during debate on the al appropriation bill. River and Harbor Bill. Penator Brandegee of Connecticut posed the amendment to the river i harbor bill that was submitted Senator Shafroth of Colorado, pro- ing that government appropria- hs for river and harbor improve- Juts should not become available expenditure until the interests commerce benefited by a parti- ar improvement project if not es or local communities, had put a large proportion of the money ary to carry it out. It seems to me to be an utterly practicable scheme,”” he said. ery river and harbor bill contains sorts of projects—projects carry- from the revetment of the bank p river to the building of locks and ps in rivers, that in many in- pees are of no particular benefit ever to general commerce or to ral navigation. I can not con- e how an improvement that hap- 8 to be located in one waterway, er a river or a harbor, which is eneral benefit to navigation, could be paid for by a contribution so- ed from the various people who ht be benefited by it. was so afraid that if I alluded jny own little items the senator fht move to reconsider them and e them out of the bill I was going Elide gently and rapidly by them; inasmuch as Senator Clarke of jansas has referred to the parti- case of New London I would attention to what would happen con- IChe appropriation for the im- ement at New London is $170,000 d dredging through Long Island pd and a couple of miles up the mes river to a great pier owned the State of Connecticut and th the state paid a million dol- to build.

Then Mr. Brandegee had the fol- lowing colloquay With the author of the amendment: Mr. Shafroth. Does not the sen- ator from Connecticut think that when the Federal.government contrib- utes 80 pericent..toward an improve- ment, it is doing its full share, and even more? Mr. Brandegee. Mr. President, I am not expert at answering questions evolved from one's inner -conscious- ness. I do not know what the full share of the government is, but I do assume that, if the government were justified under the commerce clause of the constitution in deepening the channels of navigable rivers and of harbors, it would be justified on the ground that it was of benefit to the general commerce of the country, and not to develop particular little spots in particular rivers and bayous and remote places. Mr. Shafroth. Taxes are levied over the United States, and some por- tiong of‘the country are not in the slightest degree benefited by the im- provement of a particular place. Mr. Brandegee. That is the very reason why the government ought to pay the whole of it. The taxes are laid upon all the people, and ought, therefore, to be expended only for the general benefit, and not for local ben- efit, Mr. Shafroth. But does not the senator from Connecticut recognize that there are some appropriations in every river and harbor-bill that are almost entirely and purely of a local nature? Mr. Brandegee. T do; and I think that is one of the worst vices in the river and harbor bill. Mr. Shafroth. But for some rea- son we can not eliminate them. Mr. Brandegee. We can eliminate them whenever the senate will return of the TUnited States, and stop violating it. If we have any authority whatever to take the money collected from all the taxpayers of the country and to spend it on the bank of a particular river, not in order to promote commerce or to regulate commerce, but to save some land for some farmers who hap- pen to live in that section—if we have any authority whatever constitution- ally to do that, T have never been con- fronted with it. I do not, however, want to get side- tracked into all these collateral ques- tions, beneficial as that might be to senators who have become so accus- tomed to straying from the constitu- tion that they do not know whether part of the time they are out of the cow pasture and many of them do not care. ‘What T say is that this prescribes no rule whatever, but leaves it to the judgment, quarrels, contentions and rival schemes of a lot of conflicting localities and individuals—railroads, barge captains, and manufacturers who in some way get together and flip a cent or get unanimous consent as to the exact proportion which each one shall pay. I say it will be utterly de- structive of the whole bill, and T doubt if a penny could be spent—— Mr. Shafroth. Does not the years sen- and contended that there was no hor- ity in the constitution of the United States to appropriate a single dollar for such a purpose; that the first di- gression with relation to that was as to public highways; then it extended gradually, and, as ane author states, not until 1883 were there substantial appropriations made for rivers and harbors? How did the people improve the harbors at Boston, New York, Phila- delphia, and other places during all of the century preceding that time? They raised the money by contribu- tions, and they had good harbors. Mr. Brandegee. Mr. President, T can not yield further to the senator from Colorado. I am willing shall make a speech in his own time, if he so desires; but he has ask me several questions. I simply say those states did it because they de- sired to do it. If it is so, that up to a certain period they thought it was not wise to stretch the constitution, as it has since been stretched, that was their lookout. I am not saying that it is advisable to go any further. The senator from Colorado states that the people at one time built their own roads. I think they ought to have stuck to that business and not to have stuck it on to the national FOR SALE Three Family House For $4,500 Built Only 3 years. — y——.-_. schuliz 24 & Costello, Inc. 2 Main Street.

'The senator thinks otherwise; and he is one of the chief contributors in foisting the government into the business of build- ing rural roads, when, in my opinion, the government has no constitutional authority whatever to do it; but the senator can not bolster up one absurd and unworkable scheme by -eferring to a whole lot of unconstitutional ac- tivities or other ool schemes. This proposition would absolutely prevent the expenditure of money on any project, except of the very simp- lest kind, that was absolutely limited to one locality, and not of benefit tc others. If there is any such thing as that in the bill, it has no busine: to be there. State Manufactures. Recent bulletins issued by the census bureau show that in the recent census of manufactures Connecticut was the second state of the union in the number of wire manufacturing establishments reporting to the gav- ernment, there being fourteen fac- tories in that state; and that the state held sixth rank in the matter of button factories, there being eighteen such establishments reported. By an order entered yesterday the Interstate Commerce Commission further suspended fraom June 4 until December 4, 1916, the operation of certain provisions contained in Sup- plement No. 1 to the New York, New Haven & Hartford Rallroad com- pany’s tariff I. C. C. Na. F 1739, The suspended provisions would have the effect of cancelling carload commodity rates on crushed stone, in bags, between various points in New Ycrk, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, making higher class rates applicable. The operation of the tariff was suspended from Febru- ary b until June 4, 1916, by an crder previously entered in the same docket. West Point Applicants. A Dbig rush of applicants for ap- pointment to West = Point Military academy is expected from voung men in the National Guard or organized militia of the several states. Not more than 180 of them may sécure places in the cadet corps at the academy if they can qualify under the new law “increasing the size of the corps as part of the administra- tions preparedness program. Young men between the ages of 19 and 22 and who have served at least ‘one year in the National Guard are eligible to appointment to the academy under this law. The ap- pointments are apen only to enlisted men of the National Guard. The law also provides in the same paragraph that enlisted men in the regular army who comply with the conditions above set forth shall be eligible to appointments to West Point. The t_"la] number of appointments of en- listed men of the army and militia shall not exceed 180, it is provided, ;;t any ane time. These appointments like the other increases to the cadet corps that are authorized by the law, are to be made in four annual crements, it is provided. Assuming that half might go to enlisted men in the regu- lar army, that would leave 90 avail- able for the National Guardsmen in the ranks and of these one-fourth ;nu!d be appointed next year, one- ourth the year after, and so on for four years. If the regular army does nat supply its possible half the National Guara might furnish a larger proportion, but at the least lhvere are twenty-two appointments to West Point available for enlisted Na- tional Guardsmen to fill if the: meet the requirements withi P next year. z R These appaintments are to be m. by the president upon the recom dation of the in- of the 180 ade adjutant: £ tho E ants general several states. effort wil] be (r:atdhee it is understood, to divide the ap: polntmems as equitably as possible a'ccordmg ta the strength of the Na: L;O;all_gtuu’l‘d in the several states. nlisted members of the Nati Guard in New Englang a(;e\}(tel:::?}l alive to the obportunity afforded b the law.
