PERCY SOUNDS ALARM
MOST PROFLiGATE SESSION EVER
FOlSTED UPON PEOPLE.
Extension Of Political Privilege and
Spells System by Government Enter
ing Banking Business.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Leroy Percy.
in a ~forceful and convincing speech In
the senate Tuesday, vigorously oppos-
ed the postal savings bank bill, merci-
lessly ridiculed the Republican party
for it's broken promises of retrench-
ment, arraigned the administration for
its extravaganza and sharply criticised
the postoffice department for the sus-
pension of work in installing the rural
routes, which had been inspected and
approved by the department.
Senator Percy said, in part, that
"the postal savings bank bill as framed
by the Republican fills no need of the
people, but is fraught with danger to
them, involves an enormous and con-
stantly increasing expenditure. The
government, by it, invades the banking
business and the power of the govern
ment. especially the political power OF
the postoftice department, is extended,
He commented on the enormous in
crease in government expenditures
within the past ten years, as shown by
statistics of the various departments;
the army appropriation having increas.
ed from $4,000 to 500, 000, GOO; PEN
sions from $145, 000, 900 to $3.50, 000, 900;
appropriations for the navy from $4S,.
10000 to $136,000,000 while during
the same time the appropriations for
the agricultural department had In
creased from 100000 to s12, 200, 900.
He remarked that if the present rate
of increase should be kept up in favor
of the agricultural department, that
within two or three years the people
might hope that this department would
have as much allotted to it as it now
costs to float one battleship Of the
&c, 900 ton class.

Commissioner Marquett moved the
adoption of the resolution introduced
at the last meeting, by which the
president was authorized to appoint
a committee of twenty-one tax payers
to confer with the commission upon
the advisability of leasing or buying
the water plant. After considerable
discussion the resolution was adopted
by the following vote:
Ayes-ackson, Marquett and Will
liams.
Nays-Geierman, Lucas.
Commissioners Geiermann and Lu
cas- thought the ordinance already in
troduced anulling the franchise of the
water company for nonfulflllment OF
it's contract might interfere with the
desirability of passing this resolution.
Commissioner Jackson also was afraid
that the $4,000 city hall bonds auth
orized would put stop to an issue
OF enough bonds to purchase the plant
but he was willing to find out, any.
way, so voted for the resolution.
Commissioner Marquett introduced
an ordinance prohibiting the use of
blank cartridges, pistols and fire
crackers larger than three inches long
and one half inch thick, inside the
city limits. The ordinance was read
the first time and referred to the
city attorney.
The usual gist of bills was allowed
after which the commission adjourned
until next Monday evening.
