Real Economy In The House.

An official summary of the amounts o
money appropriated by the last Congress
has been compiled and given out by tn,
clerks of the House and Senate COMMITTEES
on Appropriations.
The statement shows that the first Demo
cratic Congress made good start in check
ing the extravagant growth of appropria
tons, which under Republican rule had
leaped from 479.932,000 to $1,027, 9O1..
629 in Ia years.
The grand total for the last Congress
was $1,019, 4l2, 710.9l. which represents a
reduction of $7,27O,17081, compared with
the last preceding Republican Congress
The last Democratic Congress spent just
$479.O0O,OOO.
Under Republican rule for Ia years the
appropriations have increased $600,000,-
900, or 1873 per cent. While the 1912 re-
duction is not large one compared with
the total amount of appropriations, it
clearly shows the Democratic tendency to
redeem the party pledge to economic.
Excluding the increase of $12, 100000
made under the new pension law. the
Democratic pruning knife chopped off near
ly $20.000,000 from the figures Of the
preceding Congress. Estimates by the de-
partments were reduced $21,000,000
The Democratic House. in order to at
least get start toward economy in gov
ernmental expenditures, had hard tussle
with the Republican Senate, which added
$66,223,000 to the House figures, but
Chairman Fitzgerald. of the House COM
mittee held out in conference for the ap-
plication of the pruning knife and made
the upper chamber yield.
1t is the determination of the House
Democrats in the next Congress to extend
the economy program and an effort will be
made to reduce the amounts below the
billion-dollar mark.
The appropriations are distributed as
follows among the governmental depart
ments:
Agriculture SIC, 651. 49600, Army $780,
958.712.98, Diplomatic and consular ST.
638.0174l, District Of Columbia $l0,-
670,733.00, Fertilization $4,036, 235.00,
Indian $8.920.970.66. Legislative, execu-
tive and judicial 34,216, 463.38. Military
academy $1.O64, 668.26. Navy $l23,225.-
O0776. Pension $l65,146,145.84, Post
Office $271,429, $1,000, River and harbor
$3l,059, 370.50, Sundry civil SIP, 039.-
184.40. Deficiency appropriations $780,
939.67. Miscellaneous appropriations ST.
448.7l2.93, Permanent appropriations
$133.206. 42412. Total $1,019. Alp, 1901.
These figures show that the army bill
was reduced So, ,04229. the naval bill
$3,253.330.48, the District of Columbia
bill $1,3S6.053.50, the fortifcation bill
$l,437.472. the legislative, executive and
judicial bill $1,161, 68647, and the sundry
civil bill $50, ,859.74.
Increases were made in the postal service
bill of SIP ,295 1885. in the river and harbor
bill of $7.2O4,O2S.5O, and the pension
bill of S11.464.145.84.

much confusion among the people and
party workers.
Whether or not the Republicans and
Proeressives will agree to such suit has
not been determined, but member of the
Board of Supervisors of Baltimore city,
who declined to publicly discuss the stu
alton, said that it was the only solution
of the question and that personally he
believed it should be done
The Democrats would not be concerned
in the proceeding, as in either case they
are one of the two leading parties in the
State, for in the Gubernatorial campaign
their ticket ran second and in the Presi-
dental fight it was first. The election Off

May Ask Courts To Say.

The next big break between the Repub-
leans and Progressives will be over the
appointment Of judges and clerks of cleo
ton.
These places are held by Republicans
and Democrats, as the law says that the
two leading parties shall be given equal
representation in each registration and
election office Colonel Roosevelt having
polled more votes in Maryland on Tuesday
than did President Taft. the Progressives
are claiming that they are one of the two
leading parties, the other being the Demo-
cratic party. The Republicans dispute this
claim and will demand that their organi-
cation be recognized in future selections
of judges and clerks.
The question is one which will have to
be passed upon by the Supervisors of Elec-
tons in Baltimore city and each county. 1t
will not likely come up until late next spring,
when the election officials for the State
primaries and general election will be APP
pointed.
The Proeressives declare that they will
test the law and get the courts to construe
the meaning Of the words 1.-The two leading
parties" Republicans contend that they
mean the two parties which polled the
highest number Of votes in the State at q
Gubernatorial election, while Progressives
contend that they mean the two partie,
which polled the highest number of vote,
at the last election held in the State, which
in their case was the Presidential election
As the Proeressives propose to legally
demand that their organization be recog
nized in making one-half Of the appoint
ments, it is being suggested by humble
of Prosressives and Republicans that som,
plan be instituted to have the courts pas
upon the question as soon as possible
the supervisors in the city and countie
wait until next spring TO make the ap
pointments 1t is declared that the cas-
could not be tried by the Court Of Appeals
until the fall campaign was on and tn

Under the law II is said the supervisor

Political Cross Currents.

Comparisons between the popular vote
for Wilson this year and the popular vote
for Bryan in 1908 disclose some interesting
facts. In the States of Illinois, Indiana
Iowa. Kentucky, Nebraska, Ohio and Penn.
sylvania the Democratic vote has shrunh
by 10 to 20 per cent. from the vote of -four
years ago. In Illinois the loss was $4,000
in Indiana $4,000; Iowa, 10000; Ken
lucky, 10000; Nebraska, $4,000, and
Pennsylvania 10000 Ohio shows the
enormous loss of 10000 Democratic votes
compared with the election ST 1908. In
this case, however, the shrinkage is in
ratio with the shrinkage of the total vote
cast by all parties In great measure this
is true also of Pennsylvania But in the
other States named the falling off cannot
be thus explained.
1t is mere guess that in these States
some 100000 Populists, who had voted
the Democratic ticket in former Presiden-
tial campaigns, found a candidate more
congenial to them in Colonel Roosevelt
Wilson's vote was also smaller by $4,000
than the Democratic vote of 1908 in Texas,
indicating that there are few voters of
the same persuasion even in the Lone Star
State. Most of this $4,000, however. seems
to have gone to Debs the Socialists having
polled ii 900 votes in Texas last Tuesday
lnferentially similar shrinkage in the
Democratic vote should be observed in all
the Granger States; but such is not the
case. In Michigan, Minnesota, South Da-
kota, Wyoming, and especially, in Wis
consin, the Democratic vote has increased;
and here we may discern, if we like, the
influence of La Toilette and of his division
of the Progressive Republican party
In Colorado only does there appear to
have been a real Democratic detection.
The party vote in that State was 126,644
in 1908, and about 100000 on Tuesday
last--a difference of $4,000; and the COM
bined Taft and Roosevelt vote was just
that much larger than the Republican vote
in the preceding Presidential election. The
conclusion is obvious that these 10000
Democratic votes were pumped for the
Bull Moose under the leadership of Judge
In Arkansas 10000 former DEM
ocratic voters (about is per cent of the
totaD seem to have been converted to
Rooseveltian Populism or to Socialism in
about equal numbers. Owing to peculiar
local conditions, as the recent admission
of women to the right of suffrage, COM
PARSONS would be of no value in the Pa
cifc States, and in most of these not
previously referred to above the changes
are insignificant. The exceptions still to
be considered are the New England States.
Maine has added IS per cent to its Demo-
cratic vote. and Vermont 80 per cent,
while in the rest of this group the Demo-
cratic accessions have been considerable.
In New Jersey the most remarkable feature
of the election statistics is the greater rela-
tive shrinkage Of the Republican vote since
1908. Counting the combined regular"
and Progressive votes as Republican, the
loss to that party is $4,000, which is more
than 20 per cent-Phila. Record.

SUPERIOR CAMPAIGN MANAGE
MENT.

We publish in this issue the statement
of J. Dawson Williams, the treasurer Of
the local campaign fund in the recent
Presidential election. Mr.. Williams is to
be congratulated on the showing made by
him. He is young man of ability, in
tegrity and energy, and it was safe to as
sumo that by him the campaign funds
would be raised and spent for the interest
of the party. To him and to Mr.. Robert B.
Peter, Chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee for Montgomery County,
fell the responsibility, in large measure,
for the success of the party in Montgom-
cry county That their work was done
well the unprecedented Democratic ma
jorty in this county will attest. Never
before was there a political contest better
waged in the county. That only the money
of the people" was spent should be source
of qualification to all who believe in popu-
lar government.

NOTICE.

Pursuant to your commission to examine
and determine whether the public con-
venience requires the acceptance of Percy
and Douglas and Melrose and Dolkeith
streets in the subdivision of Otterbourne
as public roads, we find that the public
necessity does not require the acceptance
of said streets for thoroughfares.
The reason for this finding is that abut-
ting property owners now have the use of
said streets. and we do not think the gen.
eral public should be charged with the
maintenance Of streets in subdivisions as
public roads. The stated purpose of the
petitioners for taking over these streets is
to establish sewer system, and we urge
that your Board use its power (under
Chapter 628, Laws of 1912, which author
lied the County Commissioners to estab-
fish water and sewer districts upon petition
