While there is disposition in Con-

underst )0d among members that the

considerably below the needs Of the
government as submitted by the Sec
retary of the Treasury in the book Of
estimates. Orders have gone out for
a short river and harbOr bill, and
there will be no pr0vis ion for public

old-fashioncd idea that 1t is poor
policy for either government or dn
individual TO borrow money to pay
his expenses when lie Is able to earn
it. But as long as the President re-
fuses to let the government earn
money, and insists upon borrowing 1t,
we do not intend to afford any excuse
for the people to shoulder any of the
responsibility upon us. We must not
