VIGOROUS PROTESTS ENTERED IN SENATE Against Rivers and Harbors Bill. Claimed That It Is Not War I , Emergency Measure. i wasnmgton. July .4. leliate on the Jj;..ioia."iiii rivers ami- harbors' : bill ill the Senate today developed vig orous proti -ts that the measure is not . ! an emergency war proposal and ; should not be considered at this time, i The leaders plan, now ever, to keep it i before the Senate until it is disposed , of or displaced by war revenue legis- ' latum. 1 Senator Kenyon attacked the bill j as a remnant of the dribbling and' wasteful appropriation plan which had grown up through congressmen , thinking only of the improvement of i local districts and not taking a na- i ; tion-wide view of the situation. He offered an amendment limiting the to- i tal appropriations to $ 1 U.UiiU.OUU "to I be expended by the secretary of war for improvements authorized by Con- j gress." I Senator Smoot denounced the meas , ure as a robbery of the treasury. With the lirst jour of the war promising to . cost fourteen billion dollars, he said, it was no time to spend millions I dredging little creeks. Senator Sher man, iii voicing, his opposition, said the pretext that the bill would im ; prove inteistalo commerce was entire i ly false. j Se nator Fletcher, in charge of the measure, declared criticisms were based on prejudice and lack of in I formation, and that the bill was in fact an emergency measure to provide for additional war transportation.
