publiban leaders In the House, where
Representative Mondell and others
assert that the majority party has
through a policy of retrenchment
saved the taxpayers billion and Il
half dollars, are based on false pre-
misses and their figures are arrived
At by tricky methods.
The appearance of retrenchment is
offered by claiming that cutting ap-
preparations under departmental
estimates is II saving, which Demo-
Gratis declare is an utterly transpar-
ent and fraudulent device. Automa-
tic reductions in expenditures by
reason of the termination of the war
are alsa claimed to be Republican
saving, but the trickest method re-
sorted to by these party leaders is to
reduce appropriations for the ensu-
Ing fiscal year below amounts actual
~ necessary in order that the various
Federal bureaus may functiop, then
make them up in deficiency bills
after the election, as well as the
practice Of concealing large sums of
money by merely authorizing de-
pariments to eXpend unexpeuded
balances as well AS amounts that ac.
crue to various departments from
their operations, without requiring
them to be paid into the Federal
treasury and then appropriated in
the regular way. BY this process,
hundreds of millions of dollars
auth orized to be expended by Con-
press do not appear in the aprro-
priations at all.
BY such manipulation OF figures do
Representative Moudell and his col
leagues attempt to makea n show OF
economy, whereas an honest com
parison actually shows this Congress
has increased the amounts carried
In the annual appropriation bills over
those of the last Democratic Con
gress.
