lays action.
Doubtless those members who arc doing their best
to defeat appropriations that do not meet with their
approval are impeed by honest motives. but there is
such thing as going too far in trying to reach an Inn
possible climax From the outside it looks like waste
of energy to battle indefinitely against items which
have the backing of an unshakable majority to insure
their passage.
OF course, members with regulations for economy
in the dspensation of public funds to maintain may
feel like battling the death what to tnem seems
extravagant outlay of such funds but it is barely
possible that they may occasion become prey to
mistaken zeal Naturally enough. who pride them
selves upon their watchfuness the money of the
people do like confess their inability to prevent
its being put they not approve Of but it is
certainly sufficient for them to enter short and spe
cifc protest in the premises to let their constituents
know that they are awake to what is going BY so
doing they escape the responsibility they much
fear having wasted the States revenues IT, indeed
they wasted.
In fine it is mistake for members to imagine that
they will grow great in public estimation by entering
into consideration of the general appropriation bill
4 in hostile spirit What is wanted is equitable dis
trbution of the revenues the end that the public
service may best be promoted And there is glory
to be gained by holding the bill up days at time tc
dispute over an item the adoption of which is a fore
