The Mileage Grab.

The $4,000 mileage grab under
taken by the house of representatives
has brought upon the members of con.
gress widespread condemnation. Wal
ter Wellman, Washington correspon-
dent for the Chicago Record. Herald,
referring to this attempted grab, says:
Proceeding upon the assumption that
their constituents memory is no
longer than their own, q majority OF
the house Of representatives voted
themselves 100000 mileage in the
Gle sing days Of the last session, where
as one year ago not single member,
with the elections following in the
fall, had the courage to stand for such
an appropriation. To the ordinary
congressman 1t makes great deal o;
difference in handling public affairs,
whather be Is to come before his peo-
pie for election In few short month
or whether couple of years are t.
intervene. The mileage grab Is not q
new question. It has been up several
times in congress, but never has been
successful. Nevertheless, had not the
senate interposed and removed from
the general deficiency bill the item in
serted by the house, the raid upon tho
treasury probably would have beer
successful this year" Mr.. Wellmal
directs attention to the fact that the
majority who voted for the mileag,
grab also voted to Impeacn Juog-
Swayne on the charge Of falsi'yin,
accounts, because he charged the max
imum allowance Of $40 per day wheI
his actual expenses were less. Mr.
Wellman has compiled from the Con
gresslonal Record the names Of me m
| bers who votei for or were favorabl
tn the mileagH grab and arranged then
by state delegations.
