The Appropriation Bills.

II is stated that some preliminary work
has been done on the principal appropria-
ton bills. and that several of them will
be introduced early in the regular SEES
sion. If all could be. and consdera ton
of them promptly begun. there might be
gain for the government both in the mat
ter of amounts allowed and objects rec
ognized.
The rule, as we all know, is the other
way. Appropriation bills are held back
and used clubs for forcing other meas
ures through. Uncle Sans supplies are
not always. if ever, voted strictly on
> their merits. Other considerations enter
into the decisions.
What is called the log JAM is an old
story In Congress. A few of the supply
measures are passed and sent to confer
ence. while others are either slow in the
reporting. or else, being reported, are
permitted to remain on the calendar sub
ject to order.
Presently the situation becomes a topic
OF alarm. Fear Is expressed that some of
the bills may fail. Time presses. A Jam
is discovered How will it be possible TO
break 1t? II some of the bills must fail,
which?
OF course the old hands in Congress
are never deceived. They have seen
Jams" before-maybe have helped pre-
pare them. And knowing how they are
constructed, know how they may be
broken.
But raw hands-and there are a number
In every Congress-are greatly impressed.
They think real danger exists; and. un-
der that feeling, they can be Influenced
for measures toward which otherwise
they might not be inclined. They hear
from many influential sources that Uncle
Sam should not be denied his full rations
AT the last moment-and apparently
with mighty heave-ho-everybody now.
the jam is broken, and the supply
bills go through But the raw hands
think it was a very close shave, and feel
JUSTIFIED in all they did to help clear the
way.
AS all such measures must originate in
the House the responsibility is there. and
il the House managers SO decreed the
custom might be changed. 1t would be
possible to feed all these bills to the
Senate early in the session, and have
them laws on the books by March. They
have the right Of way under the rules,
and at the short session are disposed OF

Garbage Collection.

1t will be distinctly worth while for
Congress to consider the ACCESSIBILITY OF
authorizing a municipal garbage disposal
system as suggested by the Commission
erS tentatively on the basis of recon-
mendations by the engineer department
and the can city committee. The posi-
bilities of municipal garbage COLLECTION
and disposal have been discussed from
time to time during recent years, but
without leading to any results. That
garbage collection and disposal can be
conducted inexpensively. If not at a profit
TO the municipality, is believed by those
who have examined the question. and if
this is true IL follows naturally that it
will be to the interest of the citizens TO
have the District take over the work. The
prime requirement of the citizen in
this matter Is thoroughness and re-
liability in collection and sanitary eff
fectiveness. He is not concerned as to
cost or profits, but the municipal au-
thorities naturally look to this phase of
the matter with concern. Their appro-
priations are limited and they are ex-
pected by the community to render a
maximum of service for the amount Of
money available, whether through con-
tract or municipal enterprise. If they
can give such a service best by doing the
work themselves. that should be the
course. II. doing the work themselves,
they can reduce the cost or make a
profit through disposal of the garbage
product. the reason for municipal col
lection is strengthened. But municipal
collection and disposal should not be
undertaken solely with view to the pos
sible profit. the primary object always
being to conduct the most efficient,
thorough, trustworthy and consequently
sanitary garbage collection system, wheth-
er by contract or municipal agency

SIX TO INDIANAPOLIS

Emily Mostaerd, mother of six chill
dren, may be sent to the house of
correction for women at Indianapolis,
the result of continual drunken de-
bauches, according to Mrs. Anderson,
the matron at the county Jail.
Mrs MOstaerd was summoned be-
fore Judge Farabaugh Monday morn
ing charged with being drunk last
Friday.
Her husband alleged that she has
only been home four times in the last
month and that he has been out of
work and has been home with the
children, the oldest being 16 and the
youngest two years old. She alleged
that her husband had put her out and
misused her and pleaded that was the
cause of her drinking
The woman has already served two
sentences at the county Jail for drunk
enness and Mrs. Anderson suggested
that the court send her to Indianapo-
lis in the hope of reforming her. The
case was continued until Wednesday
when several of the neighbors will be
brought in to testify for both the hus-
band and the woman.

PLAN TO FORCE

Mexican Desperate Believed i'm Hun
CRY Straits-Attempted Escape
Through BuIkheads Fooled.

BINGHAM, Utah. Dec. 1.-While
Ralph Lopez, the slayer of six men.
was attempting to batter down a
bulkhead at the entrance Of the tun-
mel in the Utah-ApeX mine here late
Sunday a posse penetrated an incline
and brought out the bodies of Deputy
Sheriffs Douglas Halsey and Tom
Mandrich, the victims Of the despera-
do in a subterranean fight Saturday
afternoon.
Two deputies on guard at the
mouth of the mine opened fire with
rifles when Lopez was breaking down
the bulkhead, and he retreated into
the mine after prying away one board.
That he is suffering from hunger is
the belief of Of the officers, as he has
been in the mine with only a small
supply of food since Thursday.
Outwitted repeatedly since Lopez
began his career of bloodshed on Nov.
q, the pursuing sheriffs OF seven
counties Sunday decided to batten up
the mine and attempt to asphyxiate
the fugitive with poisonous gases. Ac-
cordingly fourteen of the fifteen exits
were stopped with bulkheads and the
work of preparation for forcing in gas
is under way.
