follows:

unable to obtain the complete reports

with the duty of investigating the insur-
ance department OF the District of Co

made to the company advancing the
money, and a return to the company II

WHERE The MONEY is SPENT

Every congress nowadays is a ."billion-dollar
congress and even the Democratic pledge of
economy was not redeemed in the session that
has just closed the Sixty-secend Congress set
ting new high-water mark with expenditures
for this year Of approximately $1,f2O,OOOOOo.
STILL as is stated in mainland comments, the
fault is not altogether with the Democrats for
the Republicans in the senate accepted and in
some instances increased the amounts in the
items first passed by the house -.
The public-buildings bill is picked out for
particular criticism, as the pension bills of pre-
Sieus congresses have been. Is is as much to the
discredit of the Republicans as of the Demo
Gratis. that the public buildings pork barrel
contained $35, OO0OO0.
The steadily -inereasing expenditures of our
national bodies may be realized BY glance at

PLENTY OF PROTECTION DEMOCRATS

Fifty western Democrats are perfecting de-
fensiye organization against slashes in the tariff
that they think will injuriously affect local in
dustry, according to recent news from Washing
ton, emphasizing the fight over protection that
is going on in Burbon ranks.
: The organization will include the members
from Minnesota and from the states along the
northern border west to Washington and south
to California. These states secured forty-eight
votes for Representative Edward T. Taylor of
Colorado as a member of the house ways and
means committee and could gather few more in
give-and-take fight for their home industries.
What this organization aims at is to defeat
any move on the part of the House caucus that
looks like the placing of wheat, dairy products,
meats and lumber from Canada, beet sugar, cit
rus fruits and ores from Mexico, on the free list
Naturally, therefore, the western members be-
lieve they will secure allies in the representatives
from Texas, which opposes free beef, from Mex
leo, Louisiana and Mississippi, opposed to free
sugar and rice, Florida, opposed to free citrus
fruits and, the, Carolnas, which are against free
lumber Also, it is hoped to line up some of the
New England states against free cotton manu-
featuring and fish, and West Virginia against
free coal.
On the face of it, this organization. will be
able to give Chairman Underwood of the ways
and means committee considerable trouble. In
derwood will probably control the committee as
completely as he controlled it last session, but
there will undoubtedly be minority report from
members against the free lists, and this minority
report, as was pointed out at the meeting of Ho-
nolulu businessmen the other day, affords an ex-
celent opportunity for a determined fight on the
floor of the house.
