BITTER SLAM
IN CONGRESS

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator
Borah. Republican. Idaho, told the
senate today there was not "the
slightest evidence that congress
proposed to carry out the special
promise "of the Republican party
to reduce government expendi-
tures."
Opposing the bill for the creation
Of a unified government air service
because Of its cost, Senator Borah
said manifestations of extravaganza
in this country were just as great
now as they were during the war.
. "The Republican party made the
special promise in the last cam
paign to reduce government ex-
penditures," the senator said, "but
there is not the slightest evidence
that the Republican congress pro-
poses to carry out that promise.
Congress Makes Platform.
"a platform committee of 157 va
rieties has been created. l want
to remind members on this side OF
the chamber that this congress will
make the platform with its record
here. The gifted gentlemen who
are to give. us the platform cannot
convince the people against the
record being made here"
Republicans and Democrats
should join hands, the senator de-
clared. and begin to carry out the
promise that when the war was
over government expenditures
would be cut to the bone.

BIZ DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.)

Washington, d. c.. Jan. 30.-It's
all very well to permit hospitals to
lay in supply of alcoholic liquors
with which to treat influenza pa
tients, but how about the thous-
ahds OF victims who are confined
to their homes and whose physi-
clans have had and may have diff
ficulty finding drug stores with a
stock Of such stimulants?
Inquiry at the legal department
OF the internal revenue Office here
where directions are given for the
national enforcement Of the prohi-
bition law, yielded me some pertin-
ent information as to the manner
in which the law is being con-
strued. as well as the legal method
by which the wants of anybody in
the United States suffering from
influenza or any other ailment for
which a physician declares alcohol
supplied.
The process is this: Any physi-
clan who sets forth under oath that
he needs alcohol. whether in the
form of beverage or anything else
and makes the proper affidavit be-
fore United States attorney, can
get the liquor. The United States
attorney, of course, must apply to
the federal court in his jurisdic-
tion for the. necessary permission
and if there is an available supply
lin the hands Of the collector of in
ternal revenue, obtained through
confiscation. the court may require
the collector to sell to physicians
or to drug stores who hold permits
for the sale or distribution of alco-
holic medicines.
Free for Z. s. Agencies.
Under the law, the United States
court may authorize the grant OF
liquor free of charge to any gov
ernment agency. Thus the army OF
navy could get it from any collec-
tor of internal revenue who hap
pens to be nearest any camp OF
port. Also it is quite probable thai
the American Red Cross would be
construed to be a government
agency" The Red Cross hitherto

WOMAN FINDING )
HER SPHERE IN
RAILWAY WORK
Most of Them. Holding
Jobs They Took Dur
ing the War.

Washington, Jan. 30.-A distinct
future for women is offered in rail-
road work, Miss Pauline Goldmark,
manager Of the women's service
section of the railroad administra-
tion, said today. in her annual re-
port to Director General Hines.
Testimony from their ssuperiors
indicates that women will undoubt-
edly progress further in all forms
OF work" said Miss Goldmark.
The outstanding feature of the
year has been the continued en-
ployment of women in the service" 4"
Miss Goldmark reported that on
Jan. ], 1917, there were 81 400 wom-
en- employed on class one roads in
the United States; that this num-
ber had increased to 101, ,7S5 on Oct.
l, 1918. and had dropped on Oct. l,
1919, to S1,803.
Due to Mems Return.
This decrease, said Miss Gold
mark was due to the return of men
from service and reduction of labor
force to effect necessary economy.
Salaries of women employed as
clerical workers ranged from $45
TO $l35 a month, while those OF
women engaged in other classes oi
work ranged from $40 TO 500 q
month with the largest percentage
receiving between $40 and $50 pei
