BURTON WILL RETIRE
FROM CHAIRNANSHIP
Rivers and Harbors Work
Too Engrossing to Please
Member From Ohio.
By JOHN SNURE!

Representative Burton of Ohio. now
chairman of the House Committee or
Rivers and Harbors. is probably serv-
Ing his last session OF Congress as a
chairman OF this committee.
Mr.. Burton is a candidate for Senator
from Ohio. and he is prominently men
TONED also for a place in Mr.. Tafts
Cabinet. But even If he is not selected
for either OF these honors. 1t is the
expectation about the House that he
will not consent again to take the Rivers
and Harbors craftsmanship, which in
wolves probably as much hard work as
any craftsmanship in Congress.
IT was with reluctance that Mr.. Bur
ton took the post of chairman Of the
Rivers and Harbors Committee at the
beginning of the present Congress. He
feels that This chairmanship takes up
Stoo much OF his time, and leaves him
almost no time for other duties. Every
one knows that as chairman Of the
Rivers and Harbors Committee Mr.. Bur
ton has set a high pattern in respect
TO devotion to Congressional duty.
Is Best Informed.
He has become the best informed man
in America on river and harbor sub
United States army may contain one or
two men who are his peers.
The fact that Mr.. Burton is expected
10 leave this Craftsmanship has aroused
some interest in the House in the ques-
tion who will succeed him in it. It
is said Mr Burton is likely to favor
Representative Davidson of Wisconsin,
who has had long service on the COM
L.. e
Burton's policies. Representative Alex
ander of New York is the ranking mem
Der and next 10 him comes Lawrence
or Massachusetts. Davidson comes next
after Lawrence. He has been an ex-

Question About Bill.
The question OF whether there is to be

assumed there would be such a bill
there is much opposition in view OF the
state Of the revenues. II a bill is

MENDOZA'S NOTES
SENT TO CONGRESS
President Complies With Senate's
Request Regarding Colombian
Difficulties.

Settlement Of the difficulties between
the United States and the Colombian
Republic over the establishment of the
republic of Panama, are Indicated 10 be
well under way by the correspondence
which has been sent 10 Congress by the
President, requested by the Senate last
May.
Senior Mendoza, former Colombian
minister TO the United States, is the
author OF the vOluminous diplomatic
notes telling Secretary Of State Root
that the United. States was perniciously
active and suspiciously glad during and
after the secession Of the Panama gov
ernment.
Mendoza's downfall was followed by
the establishment Of a common ground
for a settlement between Colombia and
the United States, although. as this
correspondence was not given to Con.
gress, It IS inferred that il relates 10
negotiations now being carried on.

FISCAL POWER PUT
Up TO PRESIDENT
Bill Relieves Congress of
Much Responsibility for
Appropriations.

Representative Walter L Smith Of
Iowa. who has introduced in the House
bill that is calculated to make the

Of the United States take stricter cog
nizance than they do now Of the esti-
mates TO appropriations that are sent
to the CO qitOl. is pleased with the SUP

The bill in question provides in brief
that when estimates are sent to Con-
gress that are ia excess of the revenues,
then the estimates must be pared down
at the White House end Of Pennsyl-
vania avenue or Congress must be ad-
vised from the White House what loans
to make or what new taxes TO raise in
order to meet the situation.
Could Be Pared Down.
1t is the belief Of Judge Smith that
in such situation the estimates would
be pared down
II is provided that when the Secretary
mates of all departments TO Congress,
gets these estimates he shall at once
make an estimate of the revenues for
the ensuing fiscal year and IL he finds
that the total Of the estimates for ap-
propriauons exceeds the total estimated
revenues, he shall at once transmit the
facts tC the President to the end that
the President may advise Congress Of
the situation and tell Congress what
estimates can best be reduced with least
injury TO the public service.
Is His Duty.
II he fnds that the estimates cannot
be reduced without injury to the public
service, then IT shall be the duty Of the
President to advise Congress what loans
or new taxes can be provided
It is apparent that II the bill IS passed
II will put vastly greater responsibiIity
on the Administration in the matter OF
the fiscal affairs of the ration. The de-
partmenJs will be compelled to pay at
tenuon not merely 10 getting Congress
TO appropriate all that It can be in
duced to appropriate as they do now
but they will have TO determine with

the estimates were Mt to the Capitol

day, and were found to total SS24. 600. 900.

once talk arose about another billion

As matter OF fact. the estimates that
were sent IN come far from measuring
up the amount of money Congress will
be asked to provide for this session. far
from expressing the huge aggregate that

This aggregate IS about 81. .057, ,0O0 900.
