DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY"

Board and Economy
Commission.

From TIC Tribune bureau
Washington. Dec. 30.--After passing
s75,c0o1O pension bill and preparing the
way for an expensive pork barrel" the
Democrats OF the House gave new mean
ing 10 the word economy" to-day by &C.
Gliding 10 apply the pruning knife TO the
following items that should appear in the
sundry civil appropriation bill:
For the Tariff Board. s225,0o0; for the
Presidents Economy Commission. $1,000.
and for the Presidents travelling expenses

According to the present plans OF the
Democratic majority. 70 be carried out oy
it's Appropriations Committee. none OF
these items will be included in the bill.
This Democratic conception Of economy
bears out the prediction made by Represent
ative Mann, the Republican leader. who at
the beginning OF the session declared that
the House majority would be penurious
where It should be liberal and eXtravagant
Vhere II should be saving The $4,000 re-
trenchment now planned IL aimed particu-
larly at the Presidents desire TO have SCI

about. through an economy commission
a great saving in the administration OF the
departments.
On one side OF the Democratic ledger
will be this s335,0)0 Saving" with per-
haps other small items. On the other side
of the telltale book will be the Sherwood

are now costing the country 500 month

The Democrats, Notwithstanding the fact
that many Of them voted for its creation.
have not taken kindly of late TO the Tariff
Board The Fitzgerald hlbuster prevented
the board being made a permanent institu-
ton in the closing days OF the 6lst Con-
gress. The quickest way to abolish the
board from the Democratic point Of view
Is to refuse an appropriation for its main
tenance and thus the collection of sclen-
tifc data on which TO base a tariff may be
stopped. The Ways and Means Committee
will then proceed to make tariff in the
old crude way.
IL will require $4,000 to complete the
work Of the Economy Commission which
will recommend departmental reforms 10
save the government millions. The bust
ness methods Of the departments are no.
toriously archaic.
