HITS REPUBLICANS
FOR EYTRAYAGANCE
Country Is Menaced by Con-
greSSional Waste, Declares
Fitzgerald.

From the Democratic point or view,
this country Is likely TO go 70 the dem
milton bOw-wows. as the result Of
lavish, unnecessary, tajudici0us and
coersive" appropriation Of more than
a billion dollars az the first session OF
the Sixtieth Congress.
just as the House was ready 10
adjourn. Representative Fitzgerald
OF New York. a leading Democratic
Democratic member OF the Committee
on Appropriations, made a speech which
probably viii become a classic at Dem
oCTaJiC rallies this fall, denouncing the
Republicans for this generous tap on
the Treasury.
He placed the grand total Of appro-
priatious authorized at this session for
the next fiscal year az 81 ,00s, SO4, S945I.
Never but once before in our history
did tie expenditures % our Government
reach the thousand million dollar
msrS," he exclaimed. For the hscai
year, 1865, when the country was in
the throes Of a bitter, bloody, and ex-
pensive civil war, the expenditures ag-
gregated the enormous total OF SI,s09
655. AS.
Fitzgerald said that the estimate Of
revenues for the year, Ss7s. O0O. 600. 9roba-
bly, was 500, OO00OO 100 high. on account
of financial conditions developed since
the estimates were made.
Tribute 70 Tawney.
An imperial review Of the facts" he
continued. '.firmly establishes the con-
viction that the repeated warnings of
the chairman or this committee. Mr.
Tawney, that there will be dehcit OF
$3.50, 900 in the coming fiscal year. is
conservative rather than extravagant,' .
The New Yorker paid glowing trib-
ute to Tawney, and touched on a tender
spot in the Republican party IN the
House. when ne spoke of the lack Of
support Tawney had received from his
party associates.
Remarkable as the figures for the
coming year are, Fitzgerald said that
the imagination Is paralyzed and the
patriotic sensibilities deadened when
the cost in money of a Roosevelt Ad-
mInistration is expressed in cold fig
ures."
During the years 1906-1s09, he said.
g, 42S sos, 81 had been appropriated. while
during the four years lS62-lS65 the total
expenditure was only 1884 ssesSl.
The country is at peace" he shouted.
No dangers threaten us from aggres-
sjve foreign foes; there IS no menace
to or peace and security from revolu-
ton or domestic disturbances. These
stupendous expenditures which stagger

fepsible- They result IN the piling high

HOUSE AND GARDEN
ARCHITECTURAL PROBLEM A.
SOLVED IN GERMANY.
4 House That Was Built on q Hillside
and a Garden Laid Out to Match
It, with Similar Details
in Both.

New York City.-Whether the archi.
tect or the landscape gardener should
supply the plans for the garden OF the
new house Is one of the questions
raised during the recent revival OF in
terest in gardens. AS a rule, the
formal rococo gardens are much less In
terestiHg to the average owner Of a
country estate than the less formal
kind. since they are out of place ex-
houses.
Even the smallest garden of the reg
ular rococO style requires also a house
of some architectural pretensions be-
longing to the same period as the gar
den. Illustrations Of the incongru-
ity arising from failure to OBJ
serve this rule are seen in many coun-
try houses to which the owners with
more recklessness than taste have add
ed formal rose gardens. When these
houses are plain white colonial struc-
lures the incongruity is particularly
disturbing.
When the garden is far away from
when the garden is regarded as part
of the house that uniformity between
them is most important, even essen
tial.
The view printed here exhibits a
garden which was regarded as so
much part Of the house with which
it was connected as to be OF the nature
Of parlors in the open air. 1t gives
striking idea OF the extent to which
architectural means may legitimately
be used in small garden.
