CANNON's GALL.

Speaker Cannon, in commenting on
the work done by Congress, doesn't
give any credit 10 the insurgents for
the Influence they exerted, or think
they eXerted, in shaping legislation,
and he has the gall to say that the
Democrats are largely responsible for
Congress extravaganza. In respect to
appropriations this year he said: THE
Democrats have talked about economy,
but they have helped to enlarge every
appropriation, and there are bills in
troduced by Democrats and not act
ed on which would call for s5O0,000,-
600 additional expenditure. So I take
it their talk of economy is Pickwicki-
an When the question OF revising
the rules was under consideration
didn't Mr.. Cannon claim that as the
Republicans We're wholly responsible
for legislation they should be in a po
sition to control the House absolutely?
And II the Republican party. being
the majority party, IS responsible for
what Congress does what difference
dose it make if the Democrats intro
duce bills calling for appropriations
for twice as much as was actually ap
propriated?
We thought Mr.. Cannon was too big
He knows that the Democrats are not
was shown in the appropriations.
They didn't have the shaping of the APP
preparation bills. There isn't an item
in any Of these great bills that would
be there if the Republicans didn't want
1t there Every item is intended to
assist the Republican party to retain
control Of the government. There isn't
one intended TO assist Democrats.
1t Is then right for Mr.. Cannonto init
mate that the Democrats are Jointly
liable with the Republicans for the
enormous amount that was appropria-
ted al the session that has just ended.
When Congress convened the Presi-
dent said that he wanted economy in
the appropriations. There was a def
cheney in the treasury created by his
predecessor. He wanted to wipe out
this deficiency. He didn't appeal to
the Democratic members to exercise
economy. He appealed to the Repub
lican members, because he understood,
as does other we'll informed men, that
the Republicans, being in the majority
had the power to make appropriations.
And now along comes the Speaker in
his closing address and tries to saddle
81 phi VI the ItSfboilSIpiiilS 1cf Tie en-
trava gance of the session the De-
mocrats. The country will only laugh
at him for this effort Of his-a futile
effort. The country is going to hold
the Republicans responsible. All the
Isigns indicate that the republicans are
going to lose control Of the House. If
Mr.. Cannon Is in the next Congress
and that Congress is eXtravagant, he
will have, in all probability. n chance
to charge the extravaganza to the
emocrats.-Savannah News.
