which has been somewhat fully dis
cussed in previous sessions Of this
body However. it does seem to me
| that possibly some word Of explanation
may be called for in addition to what
| mas already been said upon that uueS-
| ton.
! Starting out. the senator from Knox
| has stated that the appropriation bill
for the current year, 1901 carries ST.
S07. G4S.S9, and that the corresponding
| appropriat ton bill of two years ago
carried 1865. 1898, showing an in
crease of $20l .S49.5l. Starting with that
admitted fact as a text, this Senate
| and the people of this State have been
read a Very remarkable lecture upon
| economy. | do not wish to be under
| stood as diSagreeing with the senti-
| mcnt of any senator that there should
! be economy in the administration of
public affairs; but it seems to ME that
| if there ever was an instance of an ILL
directed attack upon an appropl iatior
bill, this is one of those cases.
| | confess. from the arrangement
| which the senator made OF this appro
priation bill. and without examination
| and knowledge of it, anyone would get
the impression that there was cXtraV-
| agauce somewhere in this bill. To be
