THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SATURDAY EVENING, , DECEMBER 12, 1008. m ' R AS UfJCLE SAM'S BURSAR How It Appropriates Monej and How It Sometimes Doesn't Holds Danger . ons Weapon in Conflicts With the Executive. " Br FREDERIC J. HASKIN. IfConvrleht. 1908. bv Frederlo J.' Haslcln.) WaxhTnarton. Dec 12. The secretary of the treasury sent a letter to con- f frees this week. It - told that body iow much money the government thinks Is necessary to meet Us expenses during v tha , rnuct fiscal year. It was not ' "very short letter. It was la. the shape of a, big; book, quarto else, containing noma 600 printed pages, ana was an Itemised statement ot what the gov ernment nroDosea to do with the billion dollars It wants appropriated. It will fall to the lot of the house committee on- appropriations to first read and dl eest this letter, and with St as a basis ' of action, that committee will bring Into the house the various big appro tjrlntlon hills called for therein. But it Is a safe proposition that th- ..government will not get everyining us : executive officers ask in this letter, it never does. The various departments of the government mate It a rule to ask for the utmost farthing there Is -any chance of getting There are two reasons for this. In the first Place, they act on the principle- that they - Jwilf get more by asking much than by -asking little. Jn the second place, every governmental bureau has a pet : Idea that its work is the most invport Vnt in the government service. To a jirovlnclal a county. Is a large scope of territory; to1 a globe trotter It is but -.. n Infinitesimal part of a great whole; ' Hind the average bureau- chief has the yarrow view or tne provincial ratner .than the broad sweep of the wide traveler. - - ,?';?: -::tTh . Paring Bows Process. , ' Congress -bas been s' providing the ' Yunds for- the government for so many oars that . It well understands these ithings, and seeks to' ascertain the very smallest amount necessary to carry f o "ward all ' the essential - work In the national establishment. Therefore, 'when the house committee completes its consideration of the big appropria tion bills It is generally found that It 1ias pared them down, on an average. bout 10 per cent a cool 1100,000.000 on the lot It reports these , bills to the bouse one by one and that body does little more, as a rule, than ratify Its action. They, are then sent to the, senate. That body refers' them to it appropriation committee,, which con-! aiders, them In the light of the house ' action. As a rule, when the senate fin fishes its "'consideration of the bills it has Increased the house provisions about five per' cent. Then conference! committees are appointed to settle the : differences between the two houses. The result generally Is that the senate re cedes from about one half of its In creases end . the house accedes to the . otner nair. as the bills finally te come In we' they represent a saving Af soout 7ft,oou,oov rrom tne amount asked , lor in tne book or estimates. v . JTo Hon Deficiency Grabs. For manyyears'it was the fashion of f overnment bureaus to spend just what hey chose, without reference to what congress appropriated. or example congress would appropriate 12,000,000 ior me maintenance or tne pumic duuc ' Ings throughout the country. This fund . would be so manipulated bv those hav Ing charge of its disbursement that It would be exhausted long - before the year it was to cover had expired. Then - the public building custodians would say to congress that unless more money wss forthcoming, the public buildings under their char would have to be - closed. Of course congress could not minx or permitting sucn a thing, and would make the necessary deficiency appropriation. Secretary Root once called i a coercion of the legislative branch of the government by the exe cutive ena, ana congress regarded it i as a direct invasion of its rights In controlling the expenditure of money, With this view of the matter that body set to work four years ago to stop such a course. It passed a law provid ing a prison penalty for the eovern- ment official who failed to respect the . limitations of government appropria tions. But it -was not long Derore tuts law was picked .full of holes and was more honored in its breach than in its observance.- Recently. Chairman Taw ' ney, of 'the appropriations committee, patched up tne&e boles, and toe eovern ment official who now presumes to go beyond the. action of congress In the expenditure of public money will have a real prison entence staring him in the face. . There is no loophole In the law as it stands, and the extra consti tutional ' expenditure of the people's money nas ' peen eirectively checked. The deficiency bills have become a neg ligible quantity since the Tawney law Permissible Overdrafts. Of course, there are deficiencies that are still warranted. If a government crriciai snouia rina mat lie has under estimated the amount of money required to conduct those operations authorized oy law, no is jusunra in incurring a aericlency. 1 he pennlon bureau, for in stance, can never tell Just how much lt annual expenditures are going to be how many new pensioners are coming in aunng me year, ur course tnese ex penaixures, wnmever tney may he, are utnorued by congress, and the pension ornce is not cuipatue wnen it creates deticiency In making them. Thc name holds true with the postal establish ment.. ; One cannot Very well conceive of con gress adjourning these days without SUFFRAGETTES BOUND TO Hi making the necessary appropriations for ine maintenance or me united Dtaiea army. Yet the time la not so far In the past when this did happen, and - the army had to maintain Itself ' on the strength of its credit for about three months. Thin was In 1S77. President Hayes was for terminating the recon struction era in the south, and a Demo cratle. house welcomed the opportunity for rarryinar out his wish. When It passed the army appropriation bill, there fore, it inserted a clause providing that rder0shodTeneWXen;e. So Savs Gertrude Atherton, tha r-. mm .a.tlnnawS m ' Ka nstllai Thai V Republican senate refused to accede to j WllO JieaSOIlS On 3l0Ve- the two houses waxed so bitter that congress adjourned without making any army appropriation President Hayes was forced to call an extra session to pass the bill. - Whole Government Starring. Only two years Inter the same sort of thing happened. For the first time since Buchanan's administration both houses of congress were Democratic. The partisan rancor that grew out of the Hayes-Tllden contest was still man ifest, and congress attached antl-ad-mlnistration "riders" to the army bill. and also the legislative, executive and Judicial appropriation bill, which led to tneir Deing vetoed Dy Mr. Mayes, i ne remilt was that the government was supposed to exist, but it had no funds for maintaining itself. It was abso lutely helpless. President Hayes recon vened congress, and it finally furnished the money needed to meet the dally ex penses. Thus the Hayes administration will bo down in history as the only ons that has found Itself forced to call AN ITCHING PALM ment in England. (United Press Leand Wire.) New York, Dec. 1!. That the women of England who are fighting for suf frage will get what they want la the opinion of Miss Gertrude .Atherton, the eaiirornia novelist, alter a niscusBion of the social problems England Is fac ing today. - . "The English women are In deadly earnest." declared Miss Atherton, "and equal suffrage is coming in . England as sure as fate. And when they get it they are going to make It hot for the men. for they are greatly in the majority and will be able to outvote the men on any question they choose to advocate. "Englishwomen do not get the hom age thst Is paid their American sisters. Englishmen, of course, are polite ar.d have stood manners, but thev do not ZX .wT. " --..-. . attentions tnat are 'common in tnis an era of profound peace. X.ast Word Is With Congress. In the recent talk about a breach be tween the house organization and President-elect Taft, the fact seems to have been lost sight of that it is the house that would nave the last word in case the worst should come. If the adminis tration should attempt to overthrow the house organization and fail, that body would have the strategic position In the fight. It is constitutionally vested with the sole right of originating tariff leg islation, and It likewise can withhold Its assent to any appropriation bill, thus leaving the administration high and dry upon the hot sands of empty handed ness. ' It is the same situation that would confront.any executive who chose to openly break with either house of congress. Some times there is great talk about executive encroachments on the rights of the legislative branch of the government, but congress always has the power to successfully oppose such encroachments. The most helpless thing In the world Is a law with the en acting clause stricken out. Next to It Is an executive" without an appropria tion to carry on the government. If he should choose to attempt to run it on credit congress has a law which would send him to Jail for six months. Billion Dollar Bastions How, The house committee on appropria tions has prepared a sheet which shows in graphic form the growth of the ex penditures of the government since 876. When the present session com pletes Its work the sixtieth congrena win nave appropriated I2,uuu,uuu,uuu. That is three times as much as was ap propriated by the forty-third congress, and twice as much as was appropriated by the fifty-fourth. The fifty-first con gress anpropriated a little over 11,000, 000,000, and the country wss aghast, at such extravagance. The then speaker, Thomas p. Reed, defended its action by country. Their attitude Is one of stolid indifference more ' than one of tender regard, of secure . superiority rather than eager solicitude. Englishmen are lacking In the knowledge of the small chivalries. . "Of course the reason for this con dition Is obvious; they do not command the consideration where they outnum ber the men as they do in England. "It is possibly because they see in It relief from long subjugation that Eng lishwomen are so aroused over the fight for equal suffrage. And when they get Into the saddle, they will run things." saying that this was a $1,000,000,000 country. Congress now appropriates more at a single session than It did then during a whole congress. It now calls on the average cltlsen man, woman and child, for $12 a year. Twen ty years ago its appropriations amount ed to less than $8 per capita. What was in those days called unpre cedented extravagance is now freely sanctioned by the people, r- President Arthur vetoed a river and harbor bill because It was. too extravagant. It carried an appropriation of 119,000,600. Yet the first session of the fifty-seventh congress appropriated 132,000,000 for the same purpose, end no one objected. Twenty years ago the navy cost the American people 120,000,000 a year. The expenditures for the present fiscal year amount to 1122,000,000. Twenty years ago the army cost $24,000,000 a Sear. This year it Is costing t95.000.000. 'ther appropriations show almost as great Increases during the brief period of 20 years. The annual expenses of the nations of the world amount to approximately $9,000,000,000, their aggregate popula tion being 1,600,000,000. The United States, with one nineteenth of the total population, spends one ninth of this world wide governmental expenditure.

PRINEVILLE CALMS DOWN and Political Enmity Disappears Factions Reunite. - (SeHsl rHpat!b ts The Jnnrml Prlnevllle. Or.. Dec. 12. Cltv election matters have calmed down within the past day1 or two. When the prohibition ticket, headed by D. F. Stewart for mayor, was put in the field a fortnight ago rumors of bitter political war be tween the wet and dry factions wore rife. Tt now appears altogether likely that the opposition ticket, if there is one. will Indorse Stewart for mayor, while nominating a set of tr1d and true citizens for councilmen, recorder, treas urer and marshal. The showing made by the present administration financi ally. 1n ' connection with Mayor Wurz weller's marked reduction in the citv's debt, and the reduction of the tax levy for next year from -mills to 5 mills, has caused all thoughts of political en mity to disappear.

WATER USERS PROTEST Klamath Project Farmers Think $30 an Acre Exorbitant. (Sptctal r1Datch to Tbe Journal.! Klamath Falls. Or.. Dec. 12. The Klamath Water Users' association will endeavor to hold the reclamation service to Its original estimate of the cost of water under the Klamath project, which was $18.60 per acre. The cost of $30 per acre is regarded as too high, espe cially by the large land holders, who have cultivated but a small portion of their holdings heretofore. This cost will cause large tracts of land to be broken up, and farmers will hold only as many acres as tney can arrord to irrigate. This Is what the reclamation service contemplates In its plans for the settllne of the Klamath basin.
