UNPARALLELED ExTRAyAGANCE.

The long session of the sixty-fourth Congress will have appro-
priated 81, zoo, 100000 before adjournment. This is nearly half a
billion |hi more than was wa appropriated !, the last year Of . the !. Civil War.
expenditures are not due altogether to preparedness, as the Dem
'ocrats would fam have us believe. Senator Curtis in a recent
Senate debate showed that the 1917 increase over 1916 will be
s515446,67o62. The total increase for preparedness will not ex-
coed $780, 100000. This includes the %$20,OO0000 for an arnnor
plant: This leaves an increase of over $l25,O00000 aside from
any item tina: might be called a part of the preparedness program,
This seems extravagant enough, but the comparison is with 4
Democratic Congress. When the comparison is made with the re-
cent Republican Congresses the Baltimore platform condemned
for "1prodigate waste" it is worse still. At the close of the Sixty.
third Congress appropriations had been made to the amount Of
So 231, 100000 for the biennium. This was $177,000,000 more
than was appropriated by the last Republican Congress. If the
short session of the present Congress should equal the record of
the long session, and it may exceed it, the total appropriations will
reach 3,400,00O,000 or nearly a billion and a half more than
those of the last Republican Congress.
There are increases for every single department, except pen
sions. The death angel has permitted some reductions in pen
sions. There have been 10000 offices created at an annual
cost of $40,000,O00. In tn eight of such performances, it is in
teresting to re-read the Baltimore economy plank: I'VE denomce
the profigate waste of money wrung from the people by oppres-
sive taxation through the lavish appropriations Of recent Republic
can congresses, which have kept taxes high and reduced the pur-
chasing power of the peoples toll. We demand a return to that
simplicity and economy which BELTS a democratic government ard

'Claim everything, seems to be the motto of the Wilson admin
istration. In a speech some time ago, President Wilson asserted
with the utmost poitiveness that the Federal Reserve Act saved
the country from a ruinous panic when the stress of war came on"
The facts are that war was declared August l, 1914, and the i'm
minence of the conflict was known to the world only three days
earlier. On July 81, when extreme excitement existed in Ameri-
can financial circles, Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo issued a
statement in which he called attention to the fact that the Al
)drch- Vreeland Act was still in force and that under it's provisions
there was then in the Treasury half a billion dollars which the
banks could get upon application. In the next three months he
issued more than $369,0o0yooo of emergency currency. In De-
cember; 1914, in his annual report, Secretary McAdoo expressly
Reserve Act had not taken effect, and, in fact, the Federal Re-
serve banks did not open for business until the middle of October,
1914.
"Al these facts are within the knowledge Of President Wilson,
yet ne makes the plain and unequivocal assertion that the Federal
Reserve Act saved us from a panic when the war broke out. He
is unwilling to give due credit to an act passed by a Republican adj
nlnlstraton. He is willing, for the sake Of partisan advantage,
to misrepresent the facts as shown by the records and as known to
of the credulous, but he will forfeit the respect and confidence Of
the substantial men and women Of the country who believe that
the ordinary rules of honesty should be observed by men whose
Official position makes them an example for the youth of the land
to follow"

tend to do this there is no use in us
taking this oath. l believe that we
understand and this-am l not right?
II for one will make my work ac-
ceptable to the people who have
their servant and as such will de-
vote my time to their will, even
though it cost me- as | know it will,
$4,000 year. My office is the peo-
pies office, in which l will conduct
the business of the people. as far
as the charter will permit me to
do So"
After declaring that each commits
sioner should give all of his attention
eight hours a day--tO the depart
ment of which he was head, the new
mayor announced that he was ready
to take office.
Retiring Mayor Hunt then read the
oath. which was signed by each of the
new officials. and they took their
seats about the commissioners table.
