I'm thcpaSt few years IL has been
customary for a certain branch Of

were usually hurriedly selected and
went before congress without suffl-

relief WAS presented and when con

The granting Of tho relief would mean
the loss Of certain amount of rove
nue. which the government must
nave. When called upon to suggest
an alternative method Of raising that
revenue, tho said representative
Wcro unable to mako the necessary

many requests were denied Nothing
