Estimates We're Cut.

Heads OF the various government de-
partments sent in estimates - their
needs. and these estimates exceeded the
estimated revenues by about $40, 100000.
The figures will show what Congress did
in the way Of cutting down the estimates
as presented. No general measure carry
ing provisions for new public buildings
was allowed to pass. Ordinarily an ON
nibus bill is put through which provides
for postoffices and other government
buildings in towns all over the country
which have congressional influence
enough to get what they ask. The ma
jority refused likewise to consider any
river and harbor bill which had for It's
object new work and the expenditure Of
large sums of money.
There was agitation for a service pen
sion bill for war veterans involving the
expenditure of huge sum Congress.
however refused to consider il at this
session, and the nearest approach TO rec
ognition of the one fact Of service as be-
ing sufficient for pension was in allow
ing an appropriation of 100000 for the
payment of pensions to men who came
under the provisions Of the general or
der Of the Secretary of the Interior, which
made age an evidence Of physical dis
ability to perform manual labor. This
age pension order was provocative of
Democratic assaults, but the Republicans
succeeded in showing to Che discontinue
Of their enemies that like recognition
of age disability and like order were
made by the Secretary of the Interior
under the administration Of Crow Cleve-
land.
The postal frauds occupied the atten-
ton of Congress and the Overstreet re-
port. which seemed to implicate represen-
tatives in pernicious activity on behalf of
their district postmasters, caused row.
An investigation Ordered by the House
cleared every member of the suspicion
OF improper conduct.
A resolution introduced by Representa-
tive Martin OF South Dakota resulted In
an order for the investigation of the al
legged beef trust by the Department of
Commerce and Labor.
In the House impeachment proceed
ings against Federal Judge Swayne of
the northern district of Florida were be-
gun. but the matter finally went back to
committee and will be taken up again at
the next session.
The House passed a bill admitting
Oklahoma and Indian territory as one
State and Arizona and New Mexico as
another, but the Senate took no action
on the matter
As far as the labor world Is concern
ed the eight-hour bin was shunted by the
House TO the Department OF Commerce

anti-injunction bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Grosycnor was put over to the
next session.

WHAT CONGRESS DID.
LONG SESSION DESPITE EARLY
ADJOURNMENT.
Cuba and Panama Treaties Ratified
EconomyWas Practiced- Total Appro-
priations Are $7s1,574,6 27.99- Ex-
pected Surplus $50, OOO.OOO.

Two legislative acts stand out as the
sions Of the Fifty-eighth Congress. The
reciprocity treaty with Cuba was chang
ed to bill having it's origin in the House
because one of its provisions touched the
matter Of revenue, and therefore it was
held that under the constitution the Rep
resentatives should take the iniatitive.
The pledge Of the United States to Cuba
was fulfilled by means of this bill, The
House passed the measure during the ex-
traordinary session and sent it TO the
Senate, where it was debated and passed
early ia the second session.
The treaty with Panama was the sec
ond of the chief legislative labors of
Congress. The Senate ratified the treaty
without amendment, though while il was
under discussion it gave rise to virulent
attack and debate on the part of the
Democrats, who declared the President
had exceeded his authority in the recog-
milton of the republic of Panama.
The Senate ratified the Chinese COM
mercial treaty, by means of which the
United States secured two open ports in
Manchuria Congress also undertook leg
islation for the government Of the Fan
anna canal zone, subject which led to
many differences between House and
Senate.
There was marked conservatism
throughout the session in the matter of
supply bills. They We're handled quiss
ly and with the economy which Nften
marks the methods of Congress prio- 10
a presidential campaign. All told, the
money appropriated for government nses
amounted to nearly S100.000,0o0. The
revenues OF the government are estinlat-
ed at $704.000,O00.
Appropriations Are $751;, 574,629.99.
Chairman Hemenway OF the House
committee OH appropriations on the clos
ing day issued statement showing the
appropriations made by Congress at this
session amount to $7S1,5T4, 629.". This
amount includes $26S01, S43.93 .propri-
ated for deficiencies and $36,5o0.O0 sub
mitted under the estim ees of permanent
appropriations for application out OF sur
plus revenues TO the sinking fund. The
whole sum of apparent appropriation is.
therefore, S69S,272, 1866 The estimat-
ed revenue tor the fiscal year 1909 is
$704, 2,060.72. an excess over expendi-
lures OF So. 99,274.66.
1t is further estimated that the usual
growth Of revenue and the usual eApen-
ditures of the government, which aver
age per cent less than the estimates,
will further increase this surplus to ut
least S35, 100000. The expenditure per
capita in the United States is shown to
be $7.97, the lowest of any of the great
powers by wide margin. The appropri-
atoms in the aggregate this session are
more than $20,000.O00 less than last ses-
sion.

1 Special to Daily Leader
/ Washington, D. c.. Feb. 2O.-when
Representative Brownlow some years
ago introduced a bill appropriating
$24 100000 TO be expended by the gen
erol government in assisting the
states to construct good roads, his
colleagues in the house made merry
jests at his expense and the NETS re
was regarded as so paternalisti. as
not TO be taken seriously But with
the majority of members of the house
the subject has ceased to provoke
mirth and laughter. Mention of the
Brownlow bill often incites wrath,
and Brownlow and his bill are roudly
condemned and often consigned to the
table tgether The explanation is
simple While probably less than 25
per cent of the members Of the house
personally favor the Brownlow bill or
any similor measure, still, a large ma
iority have agricultural constituents
demanding the enactment Of some
such legislation, an which, if possible
it would be very advan. ageous if be
