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

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

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

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

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

the money needed to meet the dally ex
penses. Thus the Hayes administration
will bo down in history as the only

of England who are fighting for suf

opinion of Miss Gertrude .Atherton, the
eaiirornia novelist, alter a niscusBion

"The English women are In deadly

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.

per acre is regarded as too high, espe
cially by the large land holders, who
have cultivated but a small portion of

cause large tracts of land to be broken
