WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—From the
time men began to talk about extrava
gance in government expenditures
there has been discussion of the prop
osition to allow the president to veto
items in appropriation bills. With
out regard to the fact that the only
way this can be accomplished is by a
constitutional amendment, its advo
cates go boldly and gayly forward, as
if all that was necessary was to get a
sufficient number of endorsements
from various organizations and the
end would be accomplished.
In the first place, the proposed
amendment would have to go through
each house of congress by a two-thirds
vote, and such a proposition could
not get a corporal’s guard in either
body. The “items” in appropriation
bills are the dearest things to con
gressmen in their careers. It is by
such “items” relating to their own
local communities, that they accom
plish what their people want. They
would not sacrifice their right to se
cure such “items,” for it is the only
way they can get what they want.
Other Economy Suggestions.
Another suggestion along this
same line is the budget system, into
which there will be a general lumping
of all appropriations. Nearly forty
years ago for political purposes the
budget system was destroyed by dis
tributing the appropriation bills
among various committees. That
can’t be changed. The tendency is to
spread rather than curtail the control
of these appropriation bills.
Lumping a lot of things together is
another method of congressmen to get
what they want. That is what they
do with river and harbor appropria
tions, public building bills and claim
bills. The good is made to carry the
bad. Good bills could not pass alone,
for the logrolling methods have been
found profitable for the fellow with
small items, which would never get a
hearing unless they were put in om
nibus bills.
Do Not Want Economy.
The people do not want economy.
The democratic party came into pow
er after the denunciation of the re
publicans for extravagance, and the
six years of democratic control of the
house, with a strenuous economist at
the head of the appropriations com
mittee, have seen the greatest extrav
agance ever known. Said the econo
mist chairman, Fitzgerald, recently.
“The people do not want economy.
Whitman’s administration has been
the most extravagant ever known, and
he was re-elected in New York by
130,000 majority. If I were in the
opposition in this house I could make
the greatest speech ever heard on
wastefulness and extravagance.”
War Secretaries’ Opinions.
Most of the former secretaries of
war who have expressed opinion are
for universal military training. One
of the latest to take this position is
Jacob M. Dickinson, a democrat, who
was in Taft’s cabinet. “We must have
militia universal training,” he said
recently, “unless we confess ourselves
at the mercy of other nations.”
Gallinger’s Warning.
During the discussion of the immi
gration bill in the senate there were
many and often prolonged referen
ces to Japan and her people. Once the
senate doors were closed because the
discussion was treading on grounds
which might be offensive. At one
time Senator Gallinger warned the
senate agaihst this kind of talk. “Jap
an has control of the Pacific ocean,”
he said. “By our own foolish legU
lation we have given her'that control.
She has a powerful navy and can keep
control in war as she now has in com
merce. We are on friendly terms with
Japan and ought to continue them, and
it is not wel) to be constantly discuss
ing these questions and raining sus
picions.”
Not a Lone Orphan.
The Alaska fisheries bill came up in
the house and it was shown that the
great territory of the far northwest
is not a lone orphan. Most of the
leaders in the house took a hand in the
discussion. Chairman Alexander of
Missouri and Delegate Wickersham
were of course prominent, as well as
the men from the Pacific coast states.
But, in addition, there were Bennet of
New York, Moore of Pennsylvania,
Saunders and Montague of Virginia,

Murray’s Offer.
While discussing clerks’ salaries
and the possibilities that they could
not be obtained for $125 per month,
Murray of Oklahoma interrupted the
remark.’’
“I can furnish any member a good
secretary after the 4th of March.”
The house laughed, for "Alfalfa
Bill” is among the defeated.
“U. S. MEXICAN POLICY
PRAISED BY ENGLISH”
LONDON, Feb. 5.—The Manchester
Guardian, praising the Mexican policy
of the United States in a recent edi
torial says:
“To say that the whole country has
been reduced to order would be exag
gerating, but the area of disorder has
been gradually diminished and is less
now than at any time since the revolu
tion against Diaz. President Wilson’s
Mexican policy has been guided by two
principles—determination to avoid the
jingoist, which is the cover of capital
istic hunger, and determination to al
low Mexico to work out her own salva
tion with as much help and as little
interference as possible from the Unit
ed States. The policy has difficulties
and trials which are not yet over, but
it is beginning to be vindicated by its
fruits.”
