WASHINGTON. May 1.-There Is q big row
brewing among tho Democrats in the House
over the proposition OF the Committee on APP
propriatonst to mako n general reduction in
the salaries provided for in the Legislative. Ex-
ecutive. and judicial Appropriation bill. The
proposed reductions have not yet been agreed
upon. but several members Of the committee
have Informed their friends what may be ex-
pected. 1t did not take such news long to
travel oil over Washington. and the conse-
uuence Is that evory Government off,
cal Is on tho anxious seat. Some
OF tho members OF tho House who
voted for Mr.. Holman's economy resolution
at the beginning Of the session arc now re-
GREETING their action and are prepared to re-
pudlate 1t so for as the reduction OF tho sala-
ries Of employees is concerned. Congressman
Shell. for instance. ono Of the leading Farm
ers' Alliance Democrats in tho House. says
there are other means OF economizing than By
cutting Off few dollars from tho salaries of
employees In tho various departments OF the
Government, and IL the intention OF the Com
mitteo on Appropriations is carried out
he proposes to move to chop of
slice from tho salaries OF congressman.
Mr.. Shell says that II tho Government
cannot afford to pay it's employees the salaries
now allowed them. Congressman should also
,fy,r raIp tan tn Ia NOT N fhy
and Is less able to stand q reduction than many
OF his associates. but no insists that Congress-
men who are posing as economists must take
some OF their own medicine.
