HOPE TO END CUT
In BUDGET TODAY
Knox Has Amendment Add.
ing $4,000 to School
Items.

Today is expected to see the
wind-up of the Senate Appropria-
tion subcommittee operations on
the District of Columbia's budget for
the fiscal year beginning June 80,
next. The committee, of which
Senator Curtis is chairman, will
meet at 1920 o'clock this morning
to continue its work of selecting
items that can best be eliminated
from the $25,O00.OOO estimates of
the District commission, and IL it's
work Is completed a report will be
made Immediately to the full COM
mittee and the measure hastened to
the Senate for passage. That many
of the items stricken from the bill
in the House will be restored when
1t passes the Senate is the opinion
of District officials who appeared
at the Senate subcommittee hear
ings.
Senator Knox yesterday intro
duced an amendment to the sundry
civil bill adding $4,000 to the fund
for the purchase of visual educa-
tional materials, textbooks and sup
plies for District pupils OF the
first eight grades. These are to be
distributed by the Superintendent
of Schools under direction of the
Board OF Education. The amend
ment also provides for the pur-
chase, distribution and preservation
Of the textbooks and supplies, in
cluding $1,000 for the necessary la
Dor and $1,000 for a bookkeeper
and custodian OF the textbooks and
supplies. The fund is thus increased
from 500, 900 to $4,000.

NAMES SENATORS
TO RE0RGANIZE
Smoot, WadsBorth and Har-
rison Are. Added to
Committee.

with the appointment yesterday
by Vice President Marshall of Sem
ators Smoot of Utah, wadsworth OF
New York and Harrison OF Missis-
sippi to the joint committee on re-
organization of the government de-
partments, announcement was made
that a meeting would be called at
once to plan the procedure. House
members are Reavis of Nebraska
Moore Of Virginia and Temple o.
Pennsylvania.
A complete survey Of the present
government machinery will be the
first consideration. Senator Smoot
who will be chairman, said yester-
day 1t probably would require a
year OF investigation to determine
the best means of changing or CO.
ordinating departments and bureaus
so as to eliminate overlapping and
extravaganza, but that all details
would be gone into thoroughly. A
report to Congress by the joint COM
mittee can hardly be expected within
a year, he said, while Represents
tive Reavis thinks two years may
be consumed in perfecting the plan
and putting it into operation.
Chairman Good Of the House Ap-
propriation Committee has suggest.
ed that the new committee delay
action pending passage of the bill,
establishing a budget system, since
the work is similar in many re.
spects to that contemplated by the
proposed budget bureau.

SENATE TO PUSH
BAN ON JOYRIDING
IN OFFICIAL CARS
King Denounces Misuse
Of 100000 Autos in
District.

Officials and employees of the gov
ernment have no right to use gov
ernment automobiles for private
purposes and Senators say they are
going to put a stop to it. Thousands
are doing it, declared Senator King,
OF Utah, yesterday.
Il believe" said Senator King,
that more than 10000 automobiles
in the service Of various govern
ment departments here in Washing
ton are used by employees or Of
ficials Of %e government on private
business. Thousands of employees of
the army and navy alone practice
this imposition upon the tax payers,
and there is a large number of au-
tomobiles in the public health serv-
ice that are not strictly official"
Reads Letter of Protest.
The law prohibits this misuse
of the peoples property, declared
Senator Smoot, directing attention
to the large amount of gasoline con-
sumed in this manner. Senator
Smoot exhibited a letter from an
indignant taxpayer who came here
recently from the West, pointing to
the fact that he had seen an auto
mobile OF the Postofice Department
standing on North Capitol street
with the engine running, and giving
the number Of the license tag.
What are you Senators there for.
II it is not to protect the property
of the nation?" the letter asked.
Senator Smoot. in referring the mat
ter to the Senate said:
Just this little affair is not very
important in itself, but when you
consider that there are thousands
of them. it is a very big item. and
l think 1t is the duty of the Post
office Department and the police to
identify and punish the offenders"
Say President Got Car Free.
President Wilson's private car is
provided him free of charge by an
automobile concern that Capitalizes
the fact in advertising its brand,
members of the Senate have been
informed.
"If this is true" said a Senator
who is on a committee investigat-
ing postal extravaga 1T should
be stopped. 1t is not fair to other
automobile companies for a govern
nenl OllCldl - even TIC leoldSllNs
especially the President - to give
any advantage to one concern for
such a privilege. There is no doubt
that the company whose automobil
the President rides in could infu-
ence business to a large extent by
advertising the fact that its car is
the brand chosen by the nations
Chief Executive. l have not seen
any advertising to that effect, and
understand it is employed in talk
ing up contracts on a large scale,
rather than in printers ink. 1t
could be made of very great benefit
in any way the company chose, per-
haps. The President may have the
right to select his own car, and
probably he would not accept one
under the conditions referred to.
But II the complaints justify an
investigation and the facts are
borne out a way will be sought to
set the government right with au-
tomobile people who feel themselves
imposed upon"

Reed will bring the matter to the

Il am informed that the War De-
partment has sold something like
$40, 100000 worth of supplies to Po-
land alone, and think, though I
am not sure of it, that even that
figure is ridiculously low. Such
