Arthur I. Street. a Success Maya
zine writer, went from man to man
among the leaders of both houses. ask
ing who. if any, had given his atten-
ton to the extravagant habits of con-
gress. And the answer he got was
always that there was no one.
Said Burieson of the Appropriations
committee of the house. speaking with
much feeling: Il was a lawyer before
l came here. know nothing of book
keeping
Said Underwood of Alabama. the
ranking minority member of the ways
and means committee and one of the
ablest statisticians in the house: Il
have found that it was about all l
could do to attend to the tariff. and
even in that l can hardly master more
than one or two features

preparation committee: IF Success
Magazine will pursue the subject OF
the fiscal reorganization of the gov

with which it has pursued Mr.. Cannon
and myself. it will do Unreasonable

Said Dolliver of the senate, the keen

did not know that the costs of the
senate and house office buildings. fol

department. l thought they were
charged, as they should be, to con

Said Cummins of Iowa, one of the
most active of the radicals in the up
