Freight Cars
Broken Into

L. A GIatzell. local agent OF the ID.
G. r., G., reported to the sheriff's of
fee this morning that two Rio Grande
freight cars standing in the lower
yards, were broken into by thieves
Monday night and considerable
quantity Of merchandise consigned 70
Salt Lake City business firms, stolen
Among the goods stolen were two
shofguns, 200 cigars, one caddy of
plug tobacco, 20 cans Of Prince Albert
smoking tobacco. several boxes of
cigarets. several pairs of shoes and a
number Of packages of dried beef. 1t
is impossible to even approximate the
value OF the stolen goods. but must
have been something like 800.
Special Agent Zinc OF Pueblo was
notified Of the robbery and came here
today to make an investigation Of the
matter. There is no clue to the
identity of the burglars. In view OF
the opportunity which the burglary
offered for theft. it is surprising that
more merchandise was not carried
away.

1t is fresh in the memory OF many
that on the eve OF the last election
President Wilson sent out strong
request for the country to give him
Democratic congress.
The country rather emphatically de-
clined to follow the presidents re-
quest.
1t is just beginning to dawn upon
some what a fortunate thing it was
that the country declined-that the
present congress is Republican
Several good reasons might be cited
but take the question of appropria-
tions That ought to be sufficient.
We have no budget system. This
congress passed budget bill which
would have been mighty good start
in that direction, but President Wilson
vetoed the bill.
At the present time the congress
makes up its appropriations from a
Book of Estimates furnished by the
different heads of departments of the
government. 1t is a big book of a
thousand pages made up of the esti-
mates furnished by the Cabinet mem
bers and their subordinates. This is
backed up by the personal appearance
before the appropriations committee
by the various heads of departments.
These estimates are supposed to be
the actual needs of the government.
In twenty years before these estimates
have been cut down only total of
about $500,000.
Well, you remember that the Demo
cratic congress-the 65th-got into a
jangle at its close and failed to pass
the necessary appropriation bills.
This caused President Wilson to call
the 66th congress in special session on
May 10. 1919.
When congress met 1t found that the
Democratic House Of the 65th congress
had passed the necessary bills, but
that they failed of passage in the
senate. The Democratic House ad-
journed on March 4th and the new Re-

Over Two Billions Dollars
Saved by Republican Congress
(ey congressman Guy y. Hardy.)

publican congress came on the job May
18th. SO much time had not elapsed.
The Democratic House had passed
the bills at total of s3.767, 7,975, ,974.73.
The new Republican congress passed
the same bills. but cut the total appro-
priations down to 2,S28, ,283, ,432.76.
That was clean saving Of $685.
692, 2,541.97. This was for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1920 And the
government seemed to get along pretty
WELL
| When the congress met in regular
session it had the Book of Estimates
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1921, to consider.
This book and subsequent estimates
of the departments called for s6,334s
312 1924 -
After months of consideration, dur
ing which the committees spent many
weeks listening to the pleas of the de-
partments for money, this congress
passed the bills with a total Of only
s4,S59, 800. .337.3O
Here was a clean saving of s1,474.-
422, ,60216.
That was a total saving of s2,414.-
115,144.13 for the two sessions.
No doubt some worthy enterprises
were cut out or cut down low, but the
leaders of this congress felt that this
was no time for reckless expenditures
and the bills were cut to the bone.
This may well be called porkless
congress.
The public debt today is about "a
billions Of dollars. There is little
doubt in the minds of those familiar
with appropriations in congress that
if President Wilson had been given
the Democratic congress he asked for
that the public debt today would be
fully 26 billions of dollars.
Surely this Two Billion Dollars
and more-saving will make any
thinking citizen-any taxpaying citi-
zen-be he Democrat or Republican
fairly well satisfied with the results of
the last election.
