BilliOn.DOllar Congress.

 And so this is to be another Billion. Dollar Congress after all Chairman Cannon admits that the appropriations for this session will mot fall below $506, 900, ,O00," and that ''the public ser vices for two years cannot be provided for at less than a billion dollars"
 Thus fails Speaker Reeds plan of making record for economy as help to bIs Presidential boom. He is feeling HOW, as the Democrats did in the last Congress, the disadvantage and the evil effects of the continuing appropria- tens" which the Fiftyfirst Congress made under his lead to eat up the sur plus and prevent the Democrats from reducing tariff taxation. 1t was smart politics then to boast that "this is a Billion-Doliar country" and to set new high-water mark of extravaganza in ap- preparations. It is something very diff ferent now, when Speaker Reed needs reputation as a careful. conservative, economical statesman to promote his ambition to be President.
