Points Out Objections.

There are several reasons why this
bill should not pass" he said. There
are five points Of order which could be
sustained. But the entire District would
be without funds until September ! II
the bill should not pass. and that is one
reason for its passage here. But there
are pieces Of legislation included in this
bill which were not put In by either Sen
ate or House. They were inserted by
the conferees, and that is not proper.
Representative Johnson said that the
provision for longevity pay, which starts
off at the beginning Of the $50 days vaca-
ton, is wrong in his opinion. Repre-
sentative Burleson said he admitted 1t,
but that it was compromise.
II don't think it good.' said he. land

organization of school salaries on a sane

would be wise to make it provision
that these parks should not be opened
until the benefits are assessed and paid
into the Treasury"
THAT Is the proper way" said Mr..
Burleson, and in the discussion following
every one was assured that there would
be a legal assessment that would amount
to something before any more parks were
acquired.
criticism Of the appropriation bill:
1.-The new legislation In the army ap-
preparation bill is what causes the presi-
dental veto. If the army goes unfed and
unclOthed it is because the President has
exercised his legislative power. Now.
say that If he is consistent he will veto
this bill. The legislation placed in it by
the conferees places burden on the tax
payers Of the northeaSt-the people who
are least able to bear it. He has ample
ground here to give his veto. expect
him to be consistent and refuse to sign
the bill.
I'm the main the conferees should be
congratulated. For the first time they
have let this Capitol know there is a
House of Representatives in IT. They
have kept a check rein on appropriations
and have kept out a million and quar-
ter which the Senate wanted to put in,
but they should have gone farther and
said to the Senate: You must conform
to the rules of this body
Property Given Away.
Another serious objection I find here
is that they have given away federal
property without warrant OF law or with
out compensation
1.-THE item for asphalt plant has in
1t a provision that the United States
shall transfer to the District of Column
bia a site for the plant as a free gift
for the District of Columbia. To give
to the District of Columbia, without pay
ing farthing for it, the most valuable
waterfront property on the river, Is
wrong, and 1t is time to call halt.
1.-The appropriations committee and the
conferees acted wisely In not increasing
school expenses. I understand it costs
$1,000 to seat a child in one OF these
schools. We who live in the country and
who are glad to get 81, 200 house to
seat whole schoolful of children, have
a right to complain, and we have a right
to compliment the conferees who have
refused to increase tho fund for desk
room
In conclusion Mr.. johnson said:
There are five places in the bill where
points of order could be sustained, but 1
withdraw them and 1 will leave to the
President to do what he did to the army
appropriation bill-veto it."

US more here than in any other city IN

said they cost more than in any city In

Johnson said:
1T Is a sad thing to see the directions

these benefits assessed on the southeast
and northeast parts Of the city, Wnere

burden. whereas the proper assessments
on property around Rock Creek Park
