CoNGREssMEN GETTING WEARY

Social pleasures are becoming respon- sible for difficulties in securing a quo rum in the house of representatives. The alertness of the democrats and in surgents has made it necessary to eau ton the majority that it must tend strictly to business or things may hap pen it may deplore. By uniting when a number of the republicans were either out "ioy riding" or had gone home to dinner, the democrats and insurgents turned a neat trick by out-voting the opposition, and in consequence the vice. president and speaker of the house may be deprived of their free automobiles. Then followed a struggle in which the speaker was overruled and which has made mark in legislative history.

MANY GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS

The extent of the building operations of the government is not fully appreci- ated. At this time there are under way 11S new buildings costing $27, 6S2, 2,490.S1. The buildings appropriated for but not begun number 229 and are estimated to cost SPA, ,l35,5 800. The buildings completed during the past six months number thirty, and they cost $4, ,162, 800, with extensions of the orig inal plans on these and on old build ings amounting to $S,396,4l6.30 for twenty-seven extensions. The exten- sions under way number thirty-four, costing $S,04S,112 and the extensions on buildings not begun number thirty eight at an estimated cost of $S, 340,500 The total number of buildings here referred to is 476, costing approx imately $S0,000,000. The number of all buildings completed and occupied number S99 and are valued at $l75,- 100000.
 It is intended to appropriate this year about $15,000,000 for new buildings, plans on none of which can be made for at least two years, owing to the pressure of work already in hand. It is estimated that if the government saved only per cent on it's expendi- ture by having official reports on pro posed new buildings and sites, the say ing would be about $1,250000 annual ly, at cost for the inspection of only S25 GOO

Snecial to the Silver Belt.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 26.- While the government has maintained a semblance, at least, of strict business methods in reaching a determination of how money shall be spent for the i'm provement of rivers and harbors, there has been pretty much of free for all scramble over the appropriations for public buildings, and especially as to the selection of sites. It would be easy enough to criticise the distribution of the money for waterways, about nine tenths of which in all probability has been wasted But is is scarcely too much to say that hardly city where a public building has been located can be found without scandal in cOnnec- tiOn with the choosing of site.
 In order to obviate such things in the future as far as possible, Senator Scott introduced joint resolution ap- propriating $25,000 year for expert re- ports on applications for new public buildings Like kissing, building ap- propriations go by favor. The strong est congressman get them, and the strongest politicians anywhere the sites shall be. If Senator Scott s resolution goes through-and the secretary of the treasury has reported favorably on it to the committee-trained inspectors will pass on all applications and will tell in the impartial way expected of such officials whether Punkville needs postoffice building, whether it has business enough to pay for the jantor work in one, and whether it has any prospects of ever growing up to the adult stage among cities.
