TIE GROWTH IN APPROPRIATIONS.
Is Oar Government Economic or
Expensive.

Washington, d. G. (Special) Repre-
sentative Tawney, chairman OF the House
Committee on Appropriations, has pre-
pared detailed statement concerning
the appropriations for the fiscal year
beginning July I, 1906, made by Con
gress during the session just closed, III
which he claims that the per capita cost
OF government in the United States, in
Guiding federal and state, is less than
That in any European country.
Mr. Tawney enters upon an analysis
to show the various chapnels into which
the total appropriation of $3.50, IS3,3oI
will be diverted. He begins by deduct
ing SI3o,456,4I5 provided for the sinking
fund, the Panama Canal etc, showing
that the real appropriation for the con.
duct of the government for the fiscal yeai
is $40 ,726,SSo. To meet this demand
he estimates that the total revenues
(customs, internal and postaD will be
$7Srs73,364.
Mr.. Tawney comments as follows on
the volume Of the appropriations
While the expenditures of our gov.
ernment are constantly increasing, anc
VILE the appropriations made therefor
by Congress are in he aggregate very
large yet when we take into consdera.
lion the marvellous growth OF the coun'
try, the extent to which the people de-
mand that the federal government shall
perform services that should be paid by
the states, none but the unthinking OF
misguided, who do not stop to consider
the care with which the estimates for
appropriations for the public service are
scrutinzed by the several committees
having jurisdiction of appropriation
bills, can find any reason to criticise
appropriations made during this session
OF Congress"
I'm statement made for the Demo
cratic minority Representative Livingston
makes a comparison OF the expenditures
provided for by this Congress-S8So. 1885,
'oI-with the expenditures of 1903, the
first year of President McKinley's ad-
minstration, when the figures were $52S,-
735,o7o-a difference of $35I,44S,222
Commenting on this showing, he says
This growth in appropriations sus-
tains the contention that the Republican
party stands for extravaganza in public
expenditures in order to use that ex
travagance as cloak for their more OBJ
jectiorable purpose of maintain high
protective tariff to favor the trust COM
bination of manufacturers OF the cOun-
try.
Much OF this extravaganza grows out
of the practice prevailing with the pres
ent administration of appointing commits
sons to do what Congress ought to do
and what congressman are elected for
and paid for, thus dclegatng the powers
constitutionaly belonging to Congress to
others, who have no particular relations
with or responsibilities to the public and
do not render an accounting to the tax
payers Of this country"
To afford an idea of the magnitude Of
this years appropriations, Mr.. Livingston
says:
Our corn crop of 1900 valued at
SS28,Io2,3SS, could have been paid for
with the total appropriations made at
this session and few millions to spare"

The MASSACRE HAD
BEEN ARRANGED
Report Upon the Horrible Outrage at
BiaIystok.
TROOPS AND THE BLACK HUNDRED.
The Parliamentary Commission Declares That
There Mas No Religious Hatred Of tie
jaws Among The Peaceful Russian Populs'
tlou, but That the Affair Was Provoked
by the Police.

St. Petersburg (By Cable).--A point
strongly brought out in the parliament
tary report on the massacre of Jews at
Bialystok is that there was no religious
hatred Of the Jews among the peaceful
Russian population The fighting was
confined to the police, troops and Black
Hundreds on one side and the Jews and
revolutionists on the other. The par
iamentary commission found overwhelm-
ing evidence that the outbreak was de-
libera;ely pre- red. After the assassi-
nation Of Chief OF Police Derkachoff
proclamations were scattered broadcast
by the police among the soldiers and
Black Hundreds charging the Jews with
being enemies of the Russian state and
responsible for the revolution and styling
the lower house the Jewish Douma" ="
The commission cites proof on every
hand that after rioting had started it
was directed by the police and supported
by troops who fired only at Jews and
Jewish houses.
The report does not specially place the
blame for the throwing OF the original
bomb into the procession, although 1t
says that several revolver shots were
fired and that a bomb was thrown later
among the Black Hundreds accompany
ing the procession.
Sherometief the police officer who
fed from Bialystok to Viva after the
rioting, has been summoned to St. Pc
tersburg by Interior Minister Stolypin.
The Official Messenger prints the Oh
fetal account of the massacre, when
seven Christians and Is Jews. according
to official figures, were killed and ~
Christians and 90 Jews were wounded
One hundred and siXty-nine Jewish
houses were destroyed Bialystok is de-
scribed as the chief center Of the revo-
lutionary movement in the western prov
inces The abolition OF martial law
March I was followed by 10 terrorist
crimes against officials, which caused
disorgsnization of the police, the best
members of the force being rendered
unfit for service and unframed men be-
ing appointed in their places. During
procession on June "a explosives were
thrown into it at two or three places.
This audacious outrage led TO an out
burst Of indignation on the part of the
whole Christian population. Simultan-
eously an attack upon the Jews was be-
gun, due TO a small section OF the rural
and urban population The government
repudiates Indignantly the report that the
attack upon the Jews was supported by
the local authorities or the troops.
