A TWO-BILLION CONGRESS.

Most newspaper readers can recall
the campaign uproar of decade or
so ago, made by the Democratic stump
orators and the Democratic orators
over "a billion dollar Republican Con-
gress!" How the flowing named old
war horses Of the Democracy, hungry
and impatient at being kept so long
from the crib, did neigh and stamp
over the 'billion dollar profligacy" of
the other fellows who were voting
away the peoples money. Well, at
last, the Democratic outs are in. The
Sixty-third Congress is Democratic in
both branches. And, behold! 1t is not
a billion-dollar Congress, but two
billion dollar Congress
Here are the figures: The appro-
priations during the first session of
the present Congress amounted to
1867 SOS, 694.40. And the appropria-
ton bills for the current session, not
including the $50, 100000 of the Rivers
and Harbors bill, which is being prun-
ed down, total 81 ,0S9, 40S, 777.26. Or,
leaving out the Rivers and Harbors
bill entirely, the appropriations for
gress sum up two billions, one hundred
ana lOfCy-SeVen MILLIONS, anu some Ouu
thousands of dollars.
And, as offsetting the increase in
expenditures, Congress is facing the
necessity of devising extraordinary
methods of taxation to raise more
revenue. This special tax is termed a
war tax. The inadequaces of the De-
mocratic tariff as a revenue measure
are charged up to the European war.
1t had become apparent, .lowever, be-
fore the war began that the revenues
under the provisions of the new tariff
would not be equal to the increased
expenditures proposed in the summar-
lied appropriation bills. The war, it
seems, is to be used by the party in
power to cover a multitude of it's own
mistakes.

JUST FOR JOHN WALTER SMITH.

IN view of the fact that Senator
John Walter Smith is "lumber bar
on" has made his "pile" out of saw
mills, etc, it must be interesting to
look over his vote in the U. S. Senate
on the lumber question. Here it is:
On May "a, 1909, Senator Smith
voted not to place lumber on the free
list, and same date against propo-
sition to place a duty of $100 per
thousand feet on sawed lumber, and in
addition 80 cents per thousand feet for
each side planed. On June %, 1909,
he voted for the Aldrich amendment,
placing a duty of $1.50 per thousand
on sowed lumber, $500 per thousand
when planed on one side, 1925 per
thousand when planned on two sides,
and so on upwards. On the same he
voted twice not to reduce this duty,
and again on June 26 not to place it
on the free list.
Evidently Senator Smith believes in
a protective tariff fe. ais own purse,
but in "free trade schedule for all
the other fellows. That is not Demo-
cratic doctrine, or Republican Doctrine
either. 1t is just John Walter Smith
taking care of himself in the halls Of
legislation, where he is placed to take
care of the people.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1914-10-24

present or future stand on any public
question whatever. You made no
statement Of your position after you
were nominated by your party.
During the month of april, 1909, in
a series of speeches delivered in the
United States Senate, you advocated
the Dingley Tariff rate Of $500 per
thousand on lumber, which was 81 Loo
per thousand in excess of the Payne
House Bill Tariff schedule or lumber,
and $50 more per thousand than the
Aldrich Senate schedule on lumber, as
opposed to the amendment OF Senator
McCumber, proposing, in accordance
with the Democratic platform, to put
lumber on the free list.
Had | been the Republican Senator
from Maryland at that time, | would
have voted, if not for the precise
amount of duty advocated by you on
the product in which you are so large
ly interested, at last for protective
duty on lumber in an amount high
enough to protect you and other
American lumbermen from the compe-
tition of Canadian mill men, especially
in British Columbia, whose employees
are rs per cent Japanese or Chinese,
and who receive far less wages than
American mill owners have been &C
customed, and required to pay.
You voted for the Wilson-Under-
wood Tariff Bill, Notwithstanding your
past and persistent opposition to the
tariff program of the Democratic
Party. Do you believe in this latter
bill for which you voted, and are you
now in principle free trader?
President Wilson promised on the
sthmp in 1912 that the tariff should
have been eliminated.
The distinguished Secretary of State,
Mr.. Bryan, holds that a protective

the great issue of protection, and your
record in the Senate leaves it entirely
in doubt; for while you voted in favor
of duty on lumber, you also later
voted in favor of the non-pprtoectivc
Underwood law. You have not made
any public statements whatever as to
lions, and when | consult your record
in the Senate | am also disappointed,
for | find that you have on most
questions-particularly those affecting
the rights of labor and humanity
simply failed to vote at all.
For example:-On MAY 81, 1912,
you are reported as not voting on the
passage of bill restricting the Sc,
vices of day laborers for the United
States Government to eight hours per
day.
On May 6, 1912, you failed to vote
on the Employees Liability and Work
ingmen's Compensation Bill.
On March 20, 1912, you failed to
vote on the Service Pension Bill.
On August 10, 1912, you failed to
vote on the amendment to the Post
Office Appropriation Bill, which es-
tablished the Parcels Post.
On March 2, 1913, you failed to vote
on the amendment to the so-called
Seamen's Bill, which provided for gov
eminent inspection for the qualifica-
ton of life boat hands. You will re-
call that this Bill again came before
the Senate in September, 1913, when
you again failed to vote, although the
provisions of the bill are of vital in
terest to a large number Of the people
of Maryland.

did vote in opposition to the establish
