LUKE LEA TO
OPPOSE “PORK
8ARRELL” OIL
He Will Fight Bill Which
Gives Thousands to
Small Western
-Villages.
Washington, March 25.—Luke
I.»a. the jroting editor who reprc-
the people of Tenneaae* In
states senate, has bottle
r on-» of the most ancient and
doubtedl, the most cherished tradi
tion of the tipper house of congress.
PFjji, Lea has set-red notice on "
? senate that he will object to
^eeeage °l certain Items In the pub*
11c buildings bill—familiarly known
as tbe "pork barT’ bill.
The young Tennesseean, being
• new to the senate, conceived the t
rlcus Idea that 1*. was his duty
tho people of the country to read I
end study—this bill, -which appro
priates millions of the peoplo’s
money each year. With a map cf
the United States on the wall near
hi* desk, and a *coyy of the census
report of pcmJatlou near at hand
he ran his u...ge r down the llet ol
Items enumerated In the bill until
be came to ‘.ho, word "Sundance |
Turning to the map on the wall he
discovered that 8undauce la a town
In Wyoming, and a perusal of the
report showed the population of the
place to be 281, counting all the wo
men and children. Turning duck to
the bill .Mr. Lea discovered that his
colleague In the senate, Francis K
Warren, had written there a neat
little Hem calling'-for the expend!
ture of the trilling sum of $75,000
for a nice, new postolllce for Sun
danoe.
Interested tr«ntly. Senator Lea
read further Into tbs bill, and soon
discovered that Senator Warren,
who Is a millionaire aheep owner,
and whom the late Senator Oolllv''
once called "the greatest shepherd
since Abraham," had shown a n al-
moet fatherly solicitude for Ilttls
towns that had no postodlces. The
Wyoming senator, he found, pro-
' posed I the expenditure of *87,500 for
Newcastle. Wyoming, which the cen
sus report gave a populaUon of 975
souls. Also there was an Item of
*85,000 for Thermopolls, with
population of 1,5** souls.
Nearly a quarter of a million dol
lars for three Uttie Wyoming vil
lages of a combined population of
loss than I.*** souls.
Furthsr psrusal of the bill dis
closed to 8enator Lea that numer
ous senators had written In large
appropriations for small townpost-
offlers. senator 8mooth, the Utah
wool manufacturer who cen tell to
the fraction of a penhy Just how
a high tariff o n wool will "protect
American working ,men against the
pauper labor of Europe," had an
Item of *86.880 for a Utah hamlet
I than 806 aouls. Senator
who dashes madly Into the
with the;Constitution of the
StatCa -under hts arm when-
proposed to pass tt law to
v~.~ workers dn factories, had
written In a; modest little reali st
t ,r K 'O.OOO for an Idaho town of
P.OOO souls. •
