{. O.P. SAVES
OVER BILLION
: IN ONE MONTH
Congressman Browne Tells. Something
of What Congress is Doing in
Way of Retrenchment.
From Waupaca POST

From Waupaca POST
Congressman Edward E. Browne
arrived in Waupaca, Wednesday
morning from Washington for a
short stay with his family, and told
the Waupaca County Post something
of the doings of the new Goth Con-
gress. He said:
"The special session of the Goth
"cnoross began May 10, 1919. The
Republicans had control of the House
of Representatives and the Senate
for the first time in eight years. In
the months time that Congress has
been in session it has surpassed the
achievements of any congress IN the
history of the country and is in
marked contrast to the last three
months of the last session of con-
gress.
"The House Of Representatives
quickly organized by electing Gillette
of Massachusetts speaker and Sc
lecting the necessary committees
The second day of the session the
Woman Suffrage Amendment was
taken up and passed by large ma
jority. Next the Urgent Deficiency
bill was taken up and was passed
May 22nd. This appropriation bill
afforded relief to seven hundred
thousand families and dependents OF
soldiers.
Through the inefficiency of The
War Risk Insurance Bureau and the
failure of the President TO call spe
cial session of congress at an earlier
date the War Risk Insurance hac
broken down and had almost ceased
functioning. The situation was met
by the prompt passage of the def,
cheney appropriation bill and the sec
rotary of the treasury voicing the
resignation of the former commits
sioner and appointing a new com
missioner of War Risk Insurance. II
it had not been for prompt action by
the incoming Congress there woulc
have been a complete break down Of
the War Risk Insurance. This grea
activity OF the government is nov
improving the service and efficienc!
every day.
"The Indian Appropriation Bill
the Agricultural Appropriation Bill
and the Railroad Deficiency Bill, TIT
latter carrying an appropriation O
seven hundred and fifteen million
dollars, were taken up, and afte
thorough but prompt consideration
passed. The Army Bill carrying
over eight hundred million dollar
and the Navy Appropriation Bill
were passed after being reduced
very large sum. This congress ais
took up and repealed the Daylight
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1919-07-03
Saving Bill.
Over a Billion Saved.

''This congress has affected q saw
| ing to the people of the United States
| in four of the large appropriation
bills alone in a period of one month
of one billion two hundred million
dollars In doing this it has allowed
no portion of the government serv-
ice to suffer.
''The Urgent Deficiency Bill was
cut five million dollars. The Army
Bill was reduced heavily from the
| ORIGINAL estimates by the committee
and then the House of Representa-
tives further reduced it hundred
million dollars, making a cut OF
about five hundred million dollars in
the army bill from that Of the last
session. The war department had
continued buying land and erecting
building after the armistice had been
signed. Al these contracts were can
celled and the war department pro-
hibited from purchasing any more
land. The Navy Bill was cut one
hundred and forty million dollars.
The Railway Bill was cut four hun
dred and fifty million dollars.
"The administration and the diff
ferent departments withheld esti-
mates of appropriation until near
the closing days Of the 65th con-
gress and congress refused to pass
these bills without longer and more
thorough consideration. Congress
was criticised some at the time, but
The results fully justified the Repub-
leans for filibusteIing and prevent
ing the passage of these appropria-
ton bills that had not been fairly
considered, and the saving Of over a
billion dollars to the people without
impairing the efficiency Of the gov
arnment's activities was certainly
worth the while. A great many of
the agencies created during the war
are trying hard to perpetuate them
selves. The treasury is now paying
out almost billion dollars per
month and it is imperative that this
congress retrench. I think therefore
that a saving of billion dollars will
be appreciated by the tax payers of
the country.
