DEMOCRATS IN WOE
OVER DIFFICULTIES
OF SAVING MONEY
They Abandon Plan to Do
Away With Public Build
ings Measure.

Old-time Republican leaders In the
House. who are now sitting on the
back seats. and watching the process
sion go by. are chortling to themselves
Joyously over the troubles the Demo-
Gratis are having in keeping the ex-
penditures down. Now and then, In
fact. the whilom Republican leaders
break out into something that re-
semoles loud guraws and cachinna-
tions.
Having been lambasted for many
years FOR extravaganza. the Republi-
cans cannot be blamed for enjoying the
troubles the Democrats are having to
escape similar attacks
The latest thing that has come up to
trouble the House Democrats IL the
public building bill. The House Com
mittee on Public Buildings has Just de-
cided to make a favorable report on a
public buildings bill. II has been deter
mined to hold this down to S16, ,OO0, 900,
as 1t will emerge from committee Nor
VIII any district be allowed an authori-
zation for more than one project,
whether II be new building or an ad-
diuonal authorization for project
previously allowed. But the commit
tee, with the exception Of Mr.. Barn
hart OF Indiana, Is In favor Of a bill.
1t Will be recalled that the House
leaders at the outset Of the session took
stand against a public buildings bill
this session. 1t was urged that the
Democrats must make a record for
economy. Leader Underwood went be-
fore the committee and made a plea
against a public buildings bill this ses-
sion. How seriously his plea was taken
may be judged from the fact that he
had hardly left the room before the
committee proceeded to the considera-
tion Of what to do about a public build
ings measure.
Some predictions are now being made
that while the House Public Buildings
Committee will report a bill. II will be
turned down In the Democratic caucus.
But the best information is that moth
ing OF the kind will happen.
The facts are that nearly every men,
ber OF the House. whether Republican
or Democrat. wants a public building
bill. Most every member feels he needs
an authorization for a public building
to help make the political machinery
move next summer and fall with the
proper measure Of acceleration 1t is
this feeling that makes the economy
pleas Of the House Democratic leaders
unavailing.
