DIXON DEFENDS RANGERS Men I'ndcr Government Pay Attend Schools, but Only In Winter, When Regular Work Is Slack. "Slush Fund" Attacked. WASHINGTON', Feb. 8. In connec tion with a resolution offered by Sen ator Dolllver providing for the print ing of a detailed statement of expen ditures of the Agricultural Depart ment, there was an incidental discus sion of the forestry bureau in the Ken ate today. The resolution was adopted. Senator Dixon, of Montana, asked why the Agricultural Department had been singled out. In doing so he com plained of discrimination against the Department because of the Balllnger Pinchot controversy. If the expense account-of the forest bureau was to be printed, he wanted accounts of the Land Offloe printed also. He wanted to know what had been done with the $1. 000, 000 appypri ated for special agents. Hangers Attend School. He also would have the Postoffice Department and other department ac counts printed. He desired especially to know whether It were true that the Oovernment was paying railways 9 -ents a pound for carrying matter for which the express company paid one half cf a cent. Mr. Dixon also undertook to correct 'what he said was a misapprehension 'concerning expenditures for the edu cation of forest rangers. He said that Ht had been charged that $200,000 had been paid for the education of these onen, whereas in Western state univer sities, where rangers were admitted, no tuition was charged. He said there pWere foir such institutions, and that 160 rangers had been admitted. He watd that, when attending these schoolB, they were under Government pay, but 'that the attendance had come In the Winter, when there was nothing they icould do in their regular work. Tillman Calls It "Humbug." In response to a query from Mr. Till lir.hn, Mr. Dixon admitted that t"he rang ers were not appointed until after they lhad undergone a civil service examina tion and, Avhen the Montana Senator Wieclared that even then the rangers needed further instruction, the .South Carolinian declared the whole thing a 'humbug." Mr. Money expressed the opinion that 1he document should be' printed. He waid that the present agricultural law "carrie? a "slush fund of 11,000,000," to foe expended at the caprice of officials. He did not approve of the system and thought the forestry service should ,ibe thoroughly classified. When the resolution was adopted Mr. Dixon ga'e notice that he would offer 'a resolution for printing accounts of B.11 departments'. UESERVE Fl'XD IS DEBATED Fear of Too Large Accumulation Kj pressed by Senator. WASHINGTON. Feb. 8. The reserve feature of the postal savings bank bill received especial attention when that measure was taken up In the Senate to day. Deprecating any tendency toward a reserve jund. Mr. Rrlftow said that the amendment pujepested by Senator Page providing for such a fund would result in the accumulation of from J4O.000.000 to rro.ooo.noo. This he did not consider wholesome. Mr. Hallinger contended for an ample provision for a reserve as necessary to protect -poor depositors. The section regulating deposits was attacked tjy Sen ator Burton because it committed the Government to an experiment in banking which he never could Indorse. Inevitably, he said, bank deposits would seek their centers in the large cities, and this law of finance and of trade should be recognized it the bill. Income Tax Inquiry .Ma tie. WASHINGTON. Feb. S. A resolution Introduced in the Senate today by Sena tor Borah directs, the committee on the JudlcWtry to inform the Senate whether the income tax amendment submitted at the lat session of t'ongress would have the effect of authorizing Oongres9 to lay a tax upon incomes derived from state bonds and other municipal securities' or of giving t'ongress the right to tax sala ries of state officers or the instrumentali ties and property of the Ptatesi.
