THE HOOD KIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1913 NEWS FROM OUR NATIONAL CAPITAL Democratic Party Leaders Are Divided On Appropriation Question Washington. The general problem of Democratic appropriations waa tak en up In a conference of Democratic advocates of economy. The action of the house naval affairs committee, when the Democrats, after an all-day conference, failed to reach an agree ment to cut down the $146,000,000 to be carried by the naval appropriation bill, was the principal subject of dis cussion by the 60 members of the house who are determined upon econo my. The party leaders are greatly dis turbed by the split In the house on the question of approprlat'ons. The apprcpriation bills, according to Re presentative Fitzgerald, of New York, chairman of the appropriations com mittee, will place the country's expen ditures at a point higher than has yet been reached, and economy advooates declare that the appropriations of this congress will be at least $100,000,000 over the billion mark. The Democrats who are opposed to the two battleship programme declare that unless the amount carried by the naval bill is materially reduced they will prosecute a filibuster which will prevent the passage of the bill at this session. Weuld Bar Strike by Selling Reads. The threatened tteup of 6 eastern railroads by the proposed strike of firemen was the basis of a resolution for government ownership of these railroad properties. Introduced when the bouse assembled by Representa tive Berger. Derger's resolution proposed that la case of a strike and tie up of the rail way system for more than a week, the. president of the United States should be empowered to selie the railways with all their terminals, belt lines, lands, coal mines, workshops and oth er properties on the ground of publlo emergency, and his light of eminent domain and to manage and operate them through the post office depart ment until congress should create a department of railways. Filibuster Sounds Knell ef Ills. Unless "economy Democrats," led by Representative Roddenberry, quit filibustering against what they char acterize as extravagant appropriation bills, It appeared almost certain that no more bills would be passed In the house at this session. The filibustered are now preparing to prevent action on the $180,000,000 pension bill now pending In the house. The naval bill, which provides for two new battleships and carries an ap propriation of $149,000,000, was allow ed to stand but the publlo buildings bill was cut until it now carries only about $25,000,000. President Vetoes Immigration Bill. President Taft vetoed the Burnett Dillingham Immigration bill, stating In a bpeclal message to the senate that his reasons for doing so were based upon protests from various foreign governments. In bis message President Taft sus tained the objections to the literacy test, saying In part: "I do this reluctantly. The bill con tains many valuable amendments to the immigration laws, Insuring greater certainty of the excluding of undesira ble Immigrants. But I cannot make up my mind to sign a bill whose ehlef provisions violate a principle which ought, In my opinion, to be upheld." Joe Cannon Dined. The heads of the nation, the cabinet and officials, high and low, met to toast and wine and dine "Uncle Joe" Cannon, and wish him "Godspeed baek to Danville, III." "Uaole Joe," his cigar tilted back aleng the well-remembered angle, sst baek, at times overwhelmed with emotion as he felt the touch of human friendship aanoag the tributes paid him by friends and foes alike. Set speeches to the "best fighting man in public life" were made by President Taft, Speaker Clark, Seore tary Nagel, Postmaster Oeneral Hitch cock, Attorney Oeneral Wlckersham, 8enators Root. Williams and Pearose. Representatives MoKlnley and Mc Call, Senator elect James, and a host of others. Nstlonal Capital Brevities.
