Senator Stone, of Missouri, who,
however, does not come up for cleo
ton this year. is one member of the
Democratic side of the upper house of
congress. who has recently taken a
fling at the executive branch of the
government for its violation of the
pledge of simplicity and economy.
While the agricultural appropriation
bill was under consideration and the
item for purchase of automobiles was
up for action. Senator Stone condemn
ed in scathing terms the eXtravagance
of the departments in the purchase
and use of automobiles. Stone de-
clared that for many years he has
travelled about the city of Washington
on business connected with his office
and has used the street cars, walked.
or paid his own auto bills. He could
see no reason why the well paid Off
cials of the executive departments
should not do the same. While he
did not call particular attention to
the Democratic pledge of simplicity,
he must have had it in mind when
he condemned the "snobbery exploit
ed at the public expense" While the
Stone speech may help Stone when
he comes up for reelection, it won
help President Wilson win votes in
November. 1916.
