Saving the Peoples Money
BY Congressman Guy Q. Hardy

When came down here in May at
the beginning OF the Extra Session
there was good deal OF argument be-
tween the Republican and Democratic
leaders as to who was TO blame for
the necessity of the special session.
The 65th Congress had failed to pass
several important bills. The govern
ment was out OF money. or would be
on July LIST, so the special session was
called for the principal purpose of
passing these supply bills.
The Republican leaders taunted the
Democratic side with negligence and
unnecessary delays in the last session
of the 65th. and the Democrats re-
piled that the failure of the supply
bills to pass in the G5th was due TO the
Republican filibuster in the Senate.
Much time was consumed in this
fruitless argument but no unanimous
agreement was ever reached ON the
subject.
Now il turns out that whoever caus-
ed the delay in passing the supply
bills in the 65th Congress-whether 1t
was the Republican filibuster in the
Senate or the Democratic diIly-daIly-
ing in the House-did the country a
great service. For the special session
OF the Goth Congress passed these bills
with a saving TO the country of about
10000. 600 ON the same bills that
get thru in the last days OF the last
House.
These appropriation bills are for the
agricultural department. District OF
Columbia. Indians. Navy. Sundry Civil
Railroad deficiency. and Third fefic.
iency- They are made up from estfm
ates furnished by the departments
The house in the 65th Congress had
agreed on bills amounting to Ss,7sT.
sIs.s7i73 This session the several
departments OF the government men
TONED came back and asked for 81 /.

This Congress cut down the items 70

eficnn people the tidy sum OF Ss3s.

in the last Democratic House and the
magnificent sum OF 81 i.sS5. .S67 .Sas. 6 4

The Congress gets the credit for be-
ing an extravagant body. but as a mat
ter OF fact the Congress. especially the
House Is the economical branch of the
government and is the branch that
stands between those who clamor for
money and those who pay the bills. II
may be Interesting to mention that in
twenty years before the great war the
House cut down the estimates of the
various departments and saved the
country 100000 .O0e which was con
sidered large in its day. but the record
OF the special session of the present
Congress Will stand out as a notable
example OF money saving
During the war the Congress appro-
priated money, literally at the request
of the President and the departments
of the government. These figures are
big and some OF them interesting.
The total appropriations by Con
gress from the Declaration of Indepen.
dence. 1il years down to the begin
ming of the World War was $751; 500.
&, 0oo. .00o
The appropriations by Congress
during The war years 1917 to and in
eluding 3ihe present session total S54.
$4,000 .sel.44. From this sum should
be deducted items repealed of s7272.
on .ssis ss This leaves a net total oi
war years appropriations OF s47.66S,
! 5z.5Ds.zs
Before the war began the total debt
Was astrifie less than one billion dol
lars.
Today the total debt is approximate
ly S26-SaD 600 .0O0.
Suns have been loaned TO our allies
lfo,aiing about s.. .2S5. Goa.
Before the war began annual appro
priatious ran about billion dollars .
year For some time in tine future
the interest ON our debt will be con
siderably over a billion dollars year
and il is estimated that II viii require
about fohr billion dollars year TO pas
interest build up a sinking fund and
20 run the government.
So l think 1t can be readily seer
that the Congress for some years tc
come will have quite job ON its
hands 70 stand between these whc
want Congress to appropriate money
for various functions OF government
and those who pay the taxes.

RED CROSS TO ASK
FOR $4,000. 900 MORE

The primary object of the Red
Cross campaign, for which head
quarters have been opened at the
Phoenix Hotel in Lexington, is
to enroll members for the year
1920, but there will be in addition
a general appeal for $l50,00O,OOO,
in the nation to enable the Red
Cross to complete its war obliga-
tions at home and abroad.
There will be local appeals,
where, necessary, conducted by
chapters to obtain whatever
money they may need to finance
their local programs. ft
| The first task of the Red Cross
is of course to fulfill it's obliga-
tons to the American soldiers
and sailors. The Organization
plants to concentrate it's efforts
on peace problems at home, un-
less America should again be in
colved in war or confronted by
great disasters which create
emergencies. The programs are
primarily within the field of pub
lie health and are arranged for
the cooperation with official ac-
Invites, federal state and local.
Congress has prolonged the re-
sponsibility of the Red Cross
abroad authorizing the Secretary
of War to transfer to the Aemri-
can Red Cross such medical and
surgical supplies and supple
mentary and dietary food stuffs
now in Europe as are not needed
by the army abroad or at home to
be used by the organization ito
relieve and supply the pressing
needs of the countries involved in
the late war" To these supplies
will be added such materials as
the Red Cross has in Europe. To
meet these obligations, to min
lister this foreign relief, the Red
Cross must raise at this time
$l5,OOO,OOO.
Mr.. John R. Downing, of Lex
ington, is the campaign manager,
Mr.. S. w. Calder, of Lexington,
