OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, June 20. The incidental re
ference of Senator Burton, of Ohio, to
the river and harbor appropriation bill
as a "pork barrel," because it hap
pened to have 296 Congressional dis
tricts represented in the distribution of
the funds provided for river and har
bor Improvements, called forth a
characteristic expression from Senator
Nelson, who said of the bill:
"I regard it as one of the fairest
ever passed by Congress. In my 15
years on the commerce committee of
the Senate, having- had in that time to
deaj with the rivers and harbors of
the 'country, and been a conferee on a
number of the bills, I believe the
measure that has Just become a law is
the most equitable and best distributed
Congress has ever passed. No appro
priation is included in the bill not fully
warranted and justified."
Bill Benefiis Every Section.
Chairman Alexander, of the rivers
and harbors committee, was equally as
emphatic. He said that the manner
in which the bill was made up dissi
pates the "porlc barrel" myth. Of the
407 items in the bill when it left the
House, 138 or about one-third were
for maintenance; as many more were
for continuing works already under
way, and as many for new work. It
was Colonel Alexander's idea that the
annual appropriation for postoffices
and post roads would be as much en
titled to the designation of "pork bar
rel" as the rivers and harbors bill, be
cause the varied appropriations carried
in the measure benefited every section
of the United States.
"It is quite likely that the districts
of three-fourths of the members of the
House are benefited by the rivers and
harbors bill, as they always have been
in former bills, for how could a bill
be framed to provide for the water
ways of the country and not benefit
a great majority of the Congressional
districts? The Mississippi Valley alone
embraces 21 of the 46 states, repre
sented by 266 Congressmen, most of
whom are deeply interested in the im
provement of the Mississippi River and
its great tributaries.
Nelson Friendly to Burton.
There is not a state in the Union,
unless it be Nevada, Utah, Colorado or
Wyoming which fs not directly inter
ested to a greater or less degree in
waterways improvement. The char
acter of the project which makes up
the river and harbor bill," said Mr.
Alexander, "illuminates and dissipates
the 'pork barrel' myth.
Senator Nelson disavowed any of the
hostility to Senator Burton which had
been intimated on the floor of the Sen
ate during the conference on the river
end harbor bill, in which the senior Sen
ator from the Lone Star State took occa
sion to relate that he had advised Sena-
tor Burton not to go to the upper branch
of Congress, because he would, not be
permitted to make a waterways bill ac
cording to his own liking, and would be
punished because of his knowledge of
the waterways of the United States. And
Senator Bailey went on to say that the
failure of the committee of the Senate
to appropriate money for continuance of
the National Waterways Association, of
which the Junior Sonator from. Ohio is
chairman, was proof of the assertion.
Nelson Defends Committee.
Senator Nelson took occasion to deny
tliis outright and lie did not mince words
in making the denial, either.
"There was no disposition whatever on
the part of the committee on commerce
or on the part of the conferees- In the
Senate to reflect on Senator Burton," he
said. "The House committee went so
far as to offer a compromise to have
created a commission of army engineers,
civilian engineers and transportation ex
perts to report on some comprehensive
plan by which our waterways should be
improved. But Senator Burton would
not accept this compromise. And in this
connection I want to say that outside of
Mr. Burton no other member of the
waterways commission and it consists
of seven Senators and five Representa
tivesever asked the committee of con
ference to continue the' commission. And
now. while on this subject, it is a well
known fact that Senator Burton added in
the commerce committee, of which he is
s . member. 31.000.000 over and above what
the House had provided for the - Ohio
River, in continuing contacts, and $380,000
in cash, and the committee stood by him
for the Increase. On the face of it that
seems to me to disprove the statement of
Hostility to Senator Burton."
Beginning of Yearly Budget.
The bill as finally adopted is the be
ginning of a yearly budget for rivers and
harbors as urged for many years by the
xsatlonal Rivers and Harbors Congress
which it is most generally conceded has
done yeoman service in bringing this coa-

MISSION INTEREST LAGS
Plea Made at World's Conference for
More Instruction.
EDINBURGH, June 20. At the
World's Missionary Conference here to
day two notable commissions reported.
That of which Lord Balfour of Burleigh
was chairman and Seth Low, of New
York, vice-chairman, had investigated
those governmental, diplomatic and
civil questions that affect missions. It
appealed to the conference to take a
decided pronouncement on the Belgian
Congo question. .
That -commisaloa o ji'lilcli Rev.
ELMORE.
James L. Barton, D. D.. foreign sec
retary of the American Board of Com
missioners for Foreign Missions, was
the head, presented an exhaustive re
port on organization methods, policies
and results of the operations of mis
aionary societies on-their home side.
Fault is found in this report with
the lack of enthusiasm for mls3ior.s
shown in the pulpits. A plea is made
for instruction of the boys and girls
through regular courses apart from
the usual Sunday school work. In
struction in the regular academic -institutions,
outside of the denominational
schools, is also found lacking. In one
third of the American theological in
stitutions no provision for missionary
teaching is made.
In connection with the need for mis
sionary workers in all fields, it is de
clcred that the policy of bringing na
tive Christians to this country and edu
eating them to return as "mission
aries" to their own land is a failure.
They should be sent back as native
workers in the native church, depend
ent on that church for their salaries.
Besides Dr. Barton, the commission
also included the Rev. A. Woodruff
Halsey, secretary of the home depart
ment of the Board of Foreign Mis
sions of the Presbyterian Church: Mrs.
Helen B. Montgomery, sicretary of the
Women's Baptist Missionary Society,
and John W. Wood, corresponding sec
retary of the Domestic and Foreign
Missionary Society of th Protestant
Episcopal Church in, the United States
of America.

will be accompanied by 14 prominent
Moros. He already has sailed for In
