AN were promptly defeated, however, Among his proposals was one to place river and harbor appropriations under the authority of a general river and harbor board and to give the presi- dent’s authority to withdraw. any ap- propnriations made by the bill in his discretion. “We are wasting many millions of dollars every year on inconsequential streams or private ventures“ Mr. Frear declared. “The whole chapter of pork barrel legislation ‘during the past twenty years is a standing dis- grace, that is fostered by a lobby sup- con- ported by reilwaye, dredgers. +tractors and interested parties.” ensessessssores geesesessssasess Most Old People Are Constipated The wear of years impairs the action of the bowels.
