Good Back on Job.
Congressman Good, chairman Of the
important house committee on ap-
propriations. was the frst one Of the
Iowa delegation to return to Wash
fneton and take up the preliminary
work OF preparing for active operation
as quickly as the house organizes Mon
day. Mr. Good spent most Of the week
in conferences with officials of the
various government departments who
are bsseig1ng congress for early pas
sage Of appropriation bills in order not
TO seriously interfere with the con-
tinued operation OF these departments.
Mr.. Good is carefully scrutinizing all
estimates for funds, and is personally
comforting with the responsible head
Of the various departments to ascer-
tain the necessity for every dollar
sought.
While the new chairman OF the
house ~sepnding'' committee does not
desire to be niggardly. he nevertheless
has determined to know specifically
the uses to which the funds sought Of
congress are to be put. He IS Of the
opinion that many OF the departments,
now that the war emergency has
practically ceased, will be able to in
augurate economies that were not pos
sibie during the fevered days of actual
hostilities. To carry out his intention
to watch the dollars asked FOR. Mr..
Good is demanding Of all the depart
ments detailed information in substan-
tiatfon Of the appropriations they seek.
All the other members of the Iowa
delegation have arrived and are
putting their house in order prepara-
tory to a long grind of the legislative
mill during the coming summer and
winter None of the Hawkeye legis-
lators believe that congress will ad-
journ until 1920, and then only for the
purpose Of enabling both party leaders
70 participate IN the cam paign.
