Mr.. BUTLER. Then the gentle
mems argu m snt is for US to increase
these appropriations, Aud instead OF
voting $l9G, 600. let Us vote away |
sI96 600. 600, to let the country see
how unworthy we are a. their ref
resentatives.
Mr.. TILLMAS. You will not get
relief until you convince the masses
of the people that there are a lot OF
robbem here representing the other
robbers, and they must change the
personnel OF this body.
Mr.. BUTLER. And the Senator Is
| joining ia the scramble, aud says,
"Let me share the booty while the
robbery is going on. Let me 10 and

vince the people that We are all rob-
bers."
Mr.. TILLMAS. We Of the South
all pay our share Of taxes: We send
North every year one bundre and
fly or seventy five million dollars,
and most Of it never comes back
Why not let US have the Sill 900 for
improved mail service?
Mr.. BUTLER. Every one Of these
Excessive charges that is paid for
carrying the mails over the country
and for rent of postal cars that the
Senator speaks of is paid to south
ern railroads. They get all the ex-
cessive pay we were talking about
today. But you are not satisfied
, with this excessive pay. You want
to put subiidy on top Of 1t and in
addition to that.
Mr. TILLMAN. 1 should like to
8 stop the whole business; but We car
e not do il; and l do not believe IN de-
r priving our people of this small ben

policy pursued in conducting thu
Government.
: Mr. BUTLER Then let US vot'
s against all subsidies. There ar
= only few IN this bill. Let Us yot'

J. and do our duty. This is not a sub
l. sidy for the benefit of the people.
Ne is a subsidy for the benefit of III
o. railroad kings, for them and then
. alone. 1t should not pass Yo'
know 1t is wrong.
