CONGRESS IS NOT LIKELY TO KEEP EXPENDITURES BELOW
 BILLION MARK.
PLENTY OF ADVICE AT HAND
Work of the Economy and Efficiency Commission Has Sympathy of Democratic Leaders But Its Sus- gestions Are Not Followed.
By GEORGE CLINTON.

Washington. - Cutting here and cutting there and in between here and there. probably will not avail to drawing to a close from joining the billion-dollar class of its predecessors. The Democrats preached economy, and 1t is only due them to say that if they keep the expenditures down to the figures of the last two or three sessions, they will have done some thing in the way of saving, but noth- ing like so much as was hoped by the leaders who expected to set an eX- ample for sessions of the future,
 The expenses of the government grow year by year because the num- bers and the needs of the governed grow, and so long as the old system of making appropriations continues to exist, the certainty seems to be, con- gressmen say, that the expenses must continue to pile up. The Democrats have shown some sympathy with the work of the economy and efficiency commission and granted money so that the commissioners could con- tinue their labor.
 Congress has been given informa- tion about how to save money. It has been transmitted direct from the computation tables of the economy commissioners. It Is true that if the plans of the commission are followed there will be no more billion-dollar sessions for long time to come. Whether governmental activities will be crippled remains for the future to prove.
 Fear They VIII Lose Jobs.
 Already congress has enough ad- vice in its possession to make the say ing attempt, but thus far 1t has not acted upon 1t. Possibly 1t is waiting until all the advice comes in. Not long ago the law makers were told how much money could be saved in the office of the adjutant general of
The Prescott daily news., 1913-02-27

the war department. Instantly the officers who would be directly or in directly effected protested and said that the commission had made mistake. It was agreed that the sys- tenn in the adjutant generals office might be changed to advantage, but there was opposition, with arguments to back it, that it would be unwise to cut down the clerical force.
 The great fear of the employees of the government Is that if the economy program of the administrators com mission be adopted, thousand of workers will lose their jobs. It does not seem to have been the intention of the commission to recommend that the unnecessary employees in the ad- jutant generals office should be dis missed from the service. The plan was to keep them all at work and to have the decrease in the force come tions or deaths, places thus made va cant to remain vacant.
 From what has been printed in the reports of the commission thus far made public and from the papers on the subject written by Doctor Cleve- land. the commissions chairman. it appears that the economy program does not include any plan to dimin- ish the size of the working forces. and it seems likely that even the plan not to fill the places made vacant by death and resignations will not be pushed beyond the limits of one or two of the smaller bureaus of the government
 Can't Resist Temptation.
 Speaker Clark, Majority Leader Un- derwood and Representative Fitzger- aid chairman of the appropriation committee. ave urged that economy be served, but their following has run away from them. There are river and harbor improvements and other things of advantage locally which appealed to the Democratic members who have found themselves in the majority for the first time in years and the temptation not only to ask but to take, has been too great to be resisted. If the Democratic leaders after the full reports have been re ceived from the economy and eff ciency commission. intend to force a record for saving they must induce their followers to adopt the commits sion's recommendations, and at least to try them out
 From the beginning of the work of the economy commissioners 1t has been urged that while billion-dollar sessions may continue to be the rule the government can get a much great CT return for its money If the plans suggested are adopted. It is said that two or three hundred million
