a letter from the president to he read

Some OF the delegates Of the ON

The non-partisan spirit in which
the bill was considered is apparently
shown in the disposition OF the num-
erous amendments offered. OF the
two important changes adopted. one
was submitted by Representative
Graham. republican. of Pennsyl-
vania, and the other by Representa-
tive Champ Clark, OF Missouri, the
democratic leader
The Graham amendment requires
the comptroller general to report to
congress every expenditure made or
contract entered into by the execu-
tive departments in excess OF appro-
pr.ations or in violation of the law.
This will prevent the piling IN OF
deficits. it was commended. as we'll as
restrain department heads from
making expeditures or letting con-
tracts without specific authority.
Champ Clark's amendment strikes
from the bill the section providing
for the retirement OF the comptroller
general and assistant comptroller
general on half pay when they reach
the age of seventy years. In urging
the adoption OF this change Or. Clark
