NEW YORK CONGRESSMAN
WANTS 100000 APPRoPRI-
ATED IN CONGRESS VITA
WHICH To PURCHASE
AND EQUIP A PRES
IDENTIAL TRAIN

There continues TO be- manifested
among certain class OF statesmen
the disposition to confer upon the
presidential once all the regal splen-
dor which money can buy. The
latest suggestion is to appropriate
100000 at once. and as much more
yearly as may be necessary, to buy
aud equip and maintain and support
u whole train OF palace cars for the
free use OF the president In travel
ing about the country. Such a meas
ure has been presented by a New
York congressman, and 10 now under
consideration In the House Interstate
commerce committee.
IL is encouraging to earn that this
suggestion arouses only languid In
terest and flnds little favor among
members OF Congress. IL the idea
were to provide single palace car
for the chief executive It might Tnd
some support. But why whole
train? This 10 not necessary for the
accommodation either OF the presi-
dent or his family or his secretaries.
But IL would be- an excellent means
or enabling the president to swing
around the country on campaigning
and bear-hunting expeditions, ac-
companied by lot OF politicians
junketing about at the public ex-
pense for their own enjoyment or
the good OF the party; and the con
custom seems TO DO justified that this
bill Is advanced quite as much in the
Interest OF congressman and other
officials who stand close to the throne
as for any other purpose. The pro-
posal Is really one to devote about
as much public money yearly to the
travelling uses of the president as
he is now paid In salary.
