Should the point DO made that the
amounts proposed are toe low the sem
a.e comm tee will meet it by showing
that tho disputed measure in the house
bill. prepared last session, was
upon tho basis OF the estimate
and were only objected to on the ground
that the senate, by amendments, had
made the appropriation too high. Soma
tors viii moreover urge that they are
not welded to the amounts OF either OF
the pending bills, but are willing to ad-
just them in conference. The chief
point now made on the part Of the sen
ate, is that the passage of appropriation
bills not based upon recent estimates,
is an evil which can be justified only by
much greater emergencies than now
exist.
IL is also argued that if the Disagree
ment of congress is to go back to the
former bills the practice will amount TO
permanent annual appropriation for
the department and effect an abolish
ment of such appropriations. This has
been one of the prospective policies and
has in part accomplished reforms in re-
cent wears.
