Not One OF the Fourteen Has Yet Passed
Both Houses.

But two months remain before the new
fiscal year begins; yet not one of the four
teen annual appropriation bills has passed
both houses OF Congress and been sent to
the President for his approval The cause
OF delay is found partly In the fact that
during the long session legislation In
keeping with party promises or party
policy IL brought to the front, while
In the short session little more than
the passage of the appropriation bills is
attempted. Chairman Sayers. of the
House Committee on Appropriations. says
that the work on the appropriation bills
