HOW DOES THE NY.
WORLD DEFINE THRIFT

With characteristic dissemblance
the New York World" Democratic
says, Although it is automatic tina,
Governmental extravaganza begets
private indulgence, the Congress has
as yet set no example OF thrift" II
the editorial writer of the World will
look back through the records he will
find that when the Congress ad-
journed on March 4. 1919. seven ap-
preparation bills had failed OF pass
age. II was then openly charged
that these bills were defeated by
Republicans through filibuster. The
Republicans did not deny the charge
When the new Congress convened on
May lo, these seven appropriation
bills were presented again for con-
sideration. The bills were enacted
without delay but with a saving to
the country of 81 ly6Ss.O0 OD as COM
pared with the demands made by
the Executive Department. and a saw
ing of So45.0O0.000. as compared with
the amounts which were carried in
these bills when thev were submitted
for passage by the Dem ocratic Con-
gress.
lust how much Of a saving is re-
quired to come within the category
of what the World" would cali
thrift. is impossible to imagine In
these days when we speak Of billions
as Humanity as we formerly spoke
of millions, quite likely the wv rid"
would not consider a saving of more
than a billion and a half as even
first step toward thrift But the
people of the country will think 9TH
erwise. II the "Worid" desires to
make a campaign against any of the
who held up the appr7-
priation bills. basing its campaign
against them on their course in this
particular. there is no doubt what
ever. that the Republican candidates
will be glad to meet the issue- Out
side of New York and particul7rly
put in the rural districts OF the Unit
ed States. more than a billion and a
half dollars saved would be reckon
ed some saving: even the nine hun
ired and f1rty million dollars saved.

the Democratic Congress PROPOSED
