SAFE AND SANE
LEGISLATION.

Democrats plan to curb appropria-
lions. President and Congress
Working Toward A Definite Budget
System TO Keep Expenditures With
in The Governments Income.
The above quoted words are used as
the caption to an article in the Brook
Ign Eagle from it's Washington cor
respondent. The letter was of some
length and was published in its en-
tirety in many other papers. Among
other things the correspondent said:
Representative John J. Fitzgerald
has had two talks with President Will
son on the matter of Government ex-
penditures. Mr.. Wilson is just as
much interested in the problem OF try
ing to establish sane relation be-
tween Government revenues and eX-
penditures as was President Taft. 1t
seems assured that some action will be
taken at the present Congress to es-
tablish a more logical system.
The United States is peculiar
among nearly all of the great powers
in that it has never developed bud
get system of government. Revenues
have been raised without. regard to
expenditures, and expenditures on the
other hand, have been authorized
withou. the least regard for income.
This happy go-lucky system has al,
ternately resulted in SURPRISES and
deficiencies in the Treasury. Presl-
dent Wilson regards it as one of the
initial problems of his administration.
The readers of the Gazette will re-
call thas in February last Henry \.
Field, chairman of the Finance Com
mittee of the City Council, in we'll
prepared address in the Board of AL
dermen warned the members OF
Council and in this way, i1hrough the
newspapers. also the people, that the
city, like a person, should live wrh-
in its income. Some well-meanlns
persons, only a few, questioned 1he
wisdom of the proposition, but that
the great body of the people so believe
is evidenced everywhere. The Eagle
correspondents gives the names of the
committee from the House of Repre-
sentatives who will consider the whole
question, and adds:
The Democrats in the House, how
ever, have already undertaken reform
in the matter of appropriations. At
the caucus committee of seven was
appointed Il consider changes in Vie
House rules with regard to preparing
annual bills for support of the de-
partments.

This committee is TO report to the
House the amount of revenue which
seems available for the ensuing fiscal
year, and thercupon decide what
amount of money each of the annua!

FIGHTING FOR GRAFT

Over New Schedules.
"Aruuments" Put Forward Seem 70 irn-
ply Right to Plunder the People
Figures Show How Protection
Has Worked.

Someone has said that the distin-
gushing trait Of jailbirds Is not SO
much bad morals as bad sense. If this
be true, the average tariff CRATER has
one point Of resemblance to the
humber offender; for the stupidity
of most tariff arguments is even more
striking than their moral perversity.
The New Bedford Standard, pa
per which seems to live by and for the
cotton mill trust, devotes much Of one
edition to denouncing the cotton sched-
ule of the Underwood tariff. To show
how radical e cut Is made by the I'm
derwood tariff, the Standard gives
list of fabrics with the duty on each
under the Wilson law of 1894, the Ding
ley law Of 1897, the Aldrich horror Of
1909, and the proposed Underwood
rates of 1913.
On the more expensive fabrics, lit
tie change was made by the Aldrich
law. But On articles Of such almost
universal use as dotted Swiss andsome
wash fabrics, Mr. Aldrich increased
the already atrocious Dingley rates
from 81 to 80 per cent-and the Stand
ard, pleading for protection" admits
this fact!
This criminal increase in tariff du-
ties was made at time when the
country was crying out for relief. and
when cotton mills were fairly bloating
with prosperity.
In the eight years ending with 1907.
the Union mill, one Of the largest in
New England. paid an average divi-
dend of 23 per cent. per year. The
Troy mill during the same period paid
an average Of 1882 per cent. per year.
and the Laurel Lake mill paid an av-
erage Of 1926 per cent. The Dart
mouth mill paid 26 per cent. cash divi-
dends in 1906, sc per cent. in 1907. GG
per cent. once more in 1908; and in
1909, paid a stock dividend Of 100 per
cent and 13 per cent cash dividend
on the inflated capitalization.

the country has driven them from

Shocking Stand-Patters.

proves of Mr.. Wilson's methods. He
complains that the president came
dangerously near lobbying" in some
OF the things he has done in connec'
iticn with the tariff bill.
Most of the stand-patter Republicans
I'm the senate feel the same way.
These old-rashioned protectionists are
terribly strait-laced in their notions
of propriety They were brought up
in the strict tradition that invisible
government was the only correct sys.
TEN; that tariff schedules we're to be
framed in secret on the confidential
advice Of special interests; and that
the rights of privacy Of professional
lobbyists should always be respected
as sacredly as the relations Of attorney
and client. Their inmost moral nature
.revolts at the thought Of president
speaking out plainly about the "tnsidi.
Ious lobby"

can be no doubt about It But the

kind are incapable of change.
