appropriation of moneys for govern
mental purposes. The control of the
channels through which those appropria-
tons come is the thing of them all which
is most desired. 1t is because of this
view that positions on the committee on
appropriations of the House OF Repre-
sentatives are so coveted, for do not all
measures appropriating money have to
originate in the House. and does this not
mean that they originate in the commit
tee on appropriations? And have not
billion-dollar Congresses become the rule
rather than the exception?
So Tammany went after the chairman

What is more, Tammany got it. Repre-

There was Representative Henry Nj.
Goldfogle who was ranking member Of
the committee on claims which diSburSe'
large amounts of money. Mr.. Goldfosle
wanted that Craftsmanship. But the eX-

shaped themselves that it had to go to
Representative Pou of North Carolina.
To repay him for this apparent discrim-
ination Mr. Godfogle was given the
Craftsmanship of "a committee on cleo

the standpoint of the politician. Mr..
Goldfogle also holds place on the com
