Scrutinize Appropriation Bill.
The senate finance committee this
year at least proposes to have more
than 'squint at the general appro
priation bill. In past years such bills
have been rushed through the house
and then sent to the senate for con
| firmation in the eleventh hour of the
session. And usually the senate has
been in the habit of taking the houses
word for what the bill contained anc
of passing it without question, un
less some peculiar fight developed
This time, Senator Daniel F. Mooney
chairman of the senate finance com
mittee, declares that if the house
wants to postpone the session, it MAJ
send the appropriation bill over at thu
last moment. "The senate commit
tee is going to examine and scrutinizC
every item In that bill if that is thu
last thing the committee ever did OF
earth" says the scrappy finance chair
man. 1--WE will take as long to tn,
consideration of the measure as i
pleases u.s." he continues, "and if tn,
session is late closing then the pee
pie can blame the house."
