BIG BILLS Will Die.
Appropriation Measures Tt
Meet Death in Congress.
Attempts on Foot To Loot
Treasury, Member Says.

Washington, March Supply bills
tota1ling more than sass. 600, 900 to-
dav appeared doomed as the house and
senate were on the final lap OF the
session.
Senate Republicans affirmed their
determination to stop all appropria-
ton bills except the deficiency bill
carrying s75O,0o0,000.
If this program is adhered to the
end of congress at noon tomorrow will
find the following measures still to be
acted on;
Army bill, s1,117, 000,O 900.
Navy bill, 100000.
Agricultural, $37,000,000.
Indian, SIS, 100000.
District of Columbia, $13,9S3, 5000.
Sundry civil bill, $S50,0O0,000.
The money appropriated by these
bills must be provided for by June 80,
or the departments will not have any
thing to work with.
Altho the railroad deficiency bill
was ostensibly before the senate. the
opening hours show no progress on it.
Speeches on the league of nations and
the Ford-Newberry elections contest
DELAYED the senate from real business.
Efforts of suffFa gists to get their
amendment on the calendar were
blocked again by Senator Weeks, Mas
sachusetts. -
Senator Meyers, Montana. tried in
vain to get up Secretary Lanes bill
providing reclamation work SO that
soldiers and sailors might have farm
homes.
This was the signal for an attack
by Gronna. North Dakota, who said
the bill was not for the benefit of
the soldiers as for those who want to
reclaim the dismal swamps and ceun-
try.
Everything is for the soldiers
these days" said Gronna. Under
that plea many attempts are on foot
to loot the treasury. This bill won't
help soldiers; it Will make paupers out
of them by sticking them on useless
land with a few thousand dollars and
a government mortgage around their
neCkS."

HAS GARDEN PLOTS
Commissioner Porter Has About Thir-
ty Left To "Iloan OUT

Commissioner w. L. Porter has
thirty garden plots in the southwest
part of the city he wants to loan out
for summer gardening.
The average size of each plot is IS
by $50 feet. The right to operate a
garden on these tracts of land may
be obtained at the office of the public
health department free of charge. OF
course the plots still belong to the
owner who merely loans the land t.
the city for the season. However, in
the three years the city has been u.s.
ing this gardening plan. only about a
dozen lots have changed owners dur
ing the gardening season in that per
iod of time and then the new owners
of the land have usually waited until
the temporary gardener had time to
harvest his crop before breaking into
the land for any other purpose. About
seventy garden plots have already
been contracted for the coming sea-
son. Thirty plots are left.
