HOUSE PREPARING
TO OPPOSE SENATE
Will Endeavor to Garry Out
Policy of Economy With
out Interference.

Some interesting struggles between
the House and Senate are on the cards
for the present session OF Congress in
tho matter Of appropriation bills. and
members Of the House are going to
make a determined effort to knock into
a cooked hat the theory that eventually
the Senate must have its way.
Members Of the House are quite as
anxious as President Taft to embark on
a policy which has all the evidences
Of economy. with the exception Of the
pork barrel in the shape Of an omnibus
public buildings bill. That particular
measure will be distributed in a man
ner which is intended TO do good in
stead Of harm.
Looping OFF Millions.
1t IS on the large supply bills that
the contest will be sentered. The

House who are facing close fights ia

To Stop Old Practice.
Heretofore II has been the custom OF
the Senate to tack countless amend
ments on 10 appropriation bills, fight to
the last ditch when the bill goes to con-
ference and get away with a goodIy
portion of the Increases.
This year the House hopes to put an
end TO that practice Chairman Taw-
Eey, Of the House Appropriations Com
mittee. is leading the fight for economy.
The members Of his committee have
pledged themselves to stand by him
when the House cOnferees grapple with
the Senate amendments and II is GER

on the economy program.
