How the Big Machine In Washington Is
Grinding out Legislation.
Washington, Feb. THE speaker laid
before the house today a communication
from the secretary Of the treasury in re-
ply to the resolution of the house requir~
ing him to inform that body why work
on some new public buildings and work
on the extension and improvements of un.
occupied buildings authorized during the
and why more than $S,0OO,OOO Of appropri-
ations remained unexpended during the
last two years.It appears, he says, from
the report Of the supervising architect
that this legislation has entailed such a
large quantity of ntw work In his office
as to make the quantity Of work entirely
disproportionate to the force employed
in his Office. Congress failed to make the
increase in the force demanded by the Of
flee while the facts showed that it was
absolutely necessary.
The military force of the United States,
according to the latest returns is 112, 49e.
Every state and territory. with the ex-
ception of Utah, has an organized militia
force.
The bill for the relief Of the assignees

Oates reported that the Homestead

the house by minority reports expressing
the same general conclusions in a diff
ferent way. The hope is expressed that
the thought Of the age may devise some
means which will secure the equitable
division Of the profits between employe
and employer. In conclusion the opinion
is expressed that the evils disclosed by
the investigation are entirely beyond the
reach OF the federal power and remedies,
If any can be devised, must originate with
the state government.
