DEMOCRATIC REVENUE
BILL HOTLY ATTACKED
Penrose and Other Republicans
of Senate Finance Committee
Expose Extravaganza

WASHINGTON Aug. 17-Declaring that
the appropriations OF the present Congress
far exceed the expenditures of the last
Republican Congress- which were criticized
by the Democrats as extravagent, Senator
Penrose. OF Pennsylvania, and the other
minority members Of the Senate Finance
Committee today presented report in oppo-
sition to the proposed revenue law. Even
after eliminating the amount appropriated
this year for preparedness, the Republicans
assert. the expenditures are much larger
than those made while they were In power
1T Is not the purpose Of the minority in
this report to give statistics showing the
condition of the revenues and anproprla- =
tions,' say the Republicans Full informa-
ton upon these subjects will be furnished
in the debate on the bill IL is sufficient 70
call the attention of the country to the fact
that the appropriation for this session OF
congress will aggregate approximately

the SiNty-third Congress an amount that
almost staggered the country at the time !:
and 1t Is admitted that the additional
amount appropriated at this session for
what may be termed preparedness is not
10 exceed S362,874,000, demonstrating that
entirely outside of preparedness this Com
sress mas made appropriations for larger
amount than any preceding Congress
Moreover, the minority does not feel
called upon Mt this time to provide sugges-
ions OF ways and means for additional
revenue, The statement that this additional
revenue Is needed for preparedness is en-
tirelN misleading. The wasteful and ILL
ADVISED appropriations for projects that
We're unnecessary, ill-considered and cer-
fanny not urgent, the creation of thousands
OF additional offices and general cxtrava-
gance IN expenditures in all departments
OF the Government, together with the failure
of existing legislation passed under the
present Administration to provide sufficient
revenue, even under normal conditions
places the responsibility distinctly on the
