Pork?

"Own your own home" is a slogan which Representative John W. Langley (Republican) of Kentucky would apply to the Government. He went twice to call on President Coolidge and the second time took with him Representative Clark of Florida. Mr. Langley is Chairman of the House Public Buildings Committee, and Mr. Clark is the ranking Democratic member of the Committee. Their object was to persuade the President to sanction an appropriation of $100,000,000 for public buildings.

"Pork!" exclaimed newspaper headlines. But Congressman Langley has it figured out that the Government now pays $23,000,000 a year in rent and that a saving of $3,000,000 a year can be made by building. The President, said Mr. Langley, is open minded.
