To Prevent Wastefulness.


Democratic leaders in the House of
Representatives are planning to give
a great deal of attention during this
session Of Congress to the appropria-
ton bills. 1t is by demonstrating
their ability to spend Uncle Sans
money wisely that the Democrats
hope to establish their claim for
greater recognition next year, and if
there is one thing upon which there is
no division of opinion among the
House majority leaders, it is the de-
termination to make the coming SEES
sion memorable for its business like
administration of the vast govern
ment machinery.
That the Republican cabinet mem
bers realize that there will be no
chance for unmerited expenditures is
indicated by the fact that the greatest
care is being given to the preparation
of estimates. The interior depart
ment will ask for a million and half
less than was called for last year.
The navy department, 1t is announced
will ask for two millions less, and
similar savings will be effected in
other departments. This saving is in
the estimates alone, and by the time
the Appropriations committee gets
through with is pruning work the pro-
liabilities are that the saving will be
still further increased, while the eff
cheney of the government business
will not be decreased in the slightest
degree.
The Democrats, in short, are out to
make record as business men.
How .Long9
How long must the people continue
to pay express companies profit Of
40 per cent. a year on money that is
not invested in the express business,
and that exists In blue air only?
This is the question that the people
desire answered, and one that they
are beginning to become impatient
about, judging from the ever-increas-
ing number of communications on this
subject that are being received by
members of Congress.
Express companies ought to BIZ
permitted to make good liberal rate
of interest on money actually invest
ed, writes an Iowa man to his Con-
gresham. The thing that arouses
our disgust is that the government
permits the express companies to ex-
tort profit Of from IS to SO per cent.
on capitalization that is two-thirds
water would like to see parcels
post. If we cannot have a complete
system, why can't we at least have
limited parcels post to start with, eff
fective only between towns and cities
and the surrounding country? Such a.
limited system would help rather than
injure the business of retailers. Think
it over.
The interstate Commerce Commits
sion's report shows that the net in
come from the express companies OPP
Grafton is s11 100000, and on their
own valuation of $27, 100000, their
profit is shown to be approximately
40 per cent.
It Is known that the actual value
OF the express companies equipment
is less than one-half Of what they all
lege SO that their profits on money
invested run up to nearly 100 per
cent.

trust ma gnates, the steel trust inyes-
tigating committee of the House of
Representatives has been summarily
commanded by Wall street to bring
its probe to a halt.
The Stanley committee Is in the
possession of evidence sufficient to
convict the steel trust of obtaining re-
bates, or preferential divisions of
rates which amount to rebates, from
the railroads amounting to millions
of dollars The evidence has not be-
come public for the reason that the
committee has not had time to reach,

of Wall Street several weeks ago.
Set up the plea that the investigation
ought not proceed because Mr.. Wick
ersham has already started a suit
against the corporation. The Steel
trust attorneys carried the utimatum
to the committee in Washington
But Chairman Stanley stands firm
for a continuation of the investigation
If" says Mr.. Stanley, the steel cor

then it will welcome this opportunity
to demonstrate its obedience to the
law in advance Of a litigation which
will take years to determine, and if
it has violated the law, it will use all
its powers, and all its immense wealth
to silence a committee which can
neither. be cajoled, deceived nor cor

white ground and striped in delicate
baby blue, that looks as though it
might be the coat section OF a suit of

caught by the wind from an automobile
that was going twice too fast TO be

The finder of the garment. if such
there be, is respectfully referred to the
Citizens Trust and Savings bank. for
the suit of pajamas from which it was
lost belongs to none other than John F..
Farvoid, the president of the house.
Now 1t has not been fully explained

weak and in the morning when I got
up. 1 felt so tired and lsnguid 1 could
hardly begin my housewcrk. Whenever

and made my condition worse. One

Kidney Pills and / accordingly got a
box at Summers Pharmacy. 1 soon
