Sen. Smoot Charges Gross
Democratic Extrav-

SIMMONS BLAMES
COST OF DEFENSE
Without That Burden 49,
10000 Surplus in the
Treasury

Washington, Aug. o4.-Debate on the
emergency revenue bill designed to raise
S205 100000 was continued in the Senate
yesterday. A resolution by Senator
Penrose to send the bill back to the
! finance committee for amendment to
raise an equitable portion of required
revenue from protective tariff, still was
pending.
With Senator Simmons, chairman of
the finance committee, submitting figures
designed to disprove Republican charges
of Democratic extravaganza, and Senator
Smoot, Republican finance expert, assert
ing that the Democratic party should be
convicted OF attempting to procure votes
under false pretenses, general debate on
the bill began Tuesday in the Senate.
Insisting that national defense pre-
paredness and the Mexican situation
were altogether responsible for the ne
cessty of special revenue legislation and
a proposed bond issue Senator Simmons
declared Republicans in Congress had
clamored for even greater expenditures
for defense and having done this, were
seeking partisan advantage by making
false charges Of Democratic extraya-
gance to the public.
Senator Smoot, opening the Republican
assault on the revenue bill, said if the
Democratic party were to be retained in
control of the government, the country
would suffer an era OF unequalled ex-
trayagance combined with inefficiency
unsurpassed" His attack was support
ed by Senator Curtis, who asserted that
the burden of taxation should not be
placed on the American people and that
revenues should be raised by a protective
tariff.
To prove his contention that normal
appropriations of this session are not ex-
cessive, Senator Simmons submitted
treasury department estimates for the
year 1917 showing that, excluding postal
appropriations, bond issues already au-
and amounts that will not be
expended, revenues must be provided for
of 81 ,l26, 243,0 900 OF this
amount the total appropriated for ma
tional defense would amount to about
1854 100000. and the senator submitted
other figures to prove that this extra
ordinary amount, due to preparedness
and the Mexican emergency, exceeded
1872, 2S0, 900.

1T has been my observation said Miss
Morgan, that every woman, sooner or later
wants home. Every woman has an instinc-

more pleasure and better results from cult
waiting than do men. Dean Watts said that
if half the farmers would stay home and tend
baby and let their wives go into the fields
they would be more successful.
