A Much Needed
Amendment

In Senator Kenyon's. proposed
amendment to the Constitution giving
the President power to veto single
items in appropriation bills is provid-
ed an effective check upon Cngress.
AS matters stand, the President = is
barred from exercising his judgment
md sitting the bad from the good.
He must approve or disapprove bill
5 it comes to him, in its entirety.
Though convinced that many items
call for unjustifable expenditures, in
practice his bound to consider that
by recourse to the veto he may delay
or deefat necessary legislation and in
the name of eXpendiency is obliged to
accept the lesser evil for the greater
mood.
1t is a situation by which Congress
chronically profits in indulging its
hobits of extravaganza. To load
down naval or army or sundry civil
appropriation bill with projects clear
ly unsOund or questionable. r'nnin~
.Gto many millions, is an established
tick, because it knows exactly how
80 Presidents hands are tied. To
take advantage Of his embarrassment
hy making him a party to its waste
81 schemes is q regular rule.
The Kenyon amendment would put
q stop to that, OF at least place re-
aponsibility where it properly belongs.
1t has been demonstrated time and
2gain that where the Governor of New
ERIK, acting within his legal powers,
{ Urgently scans appropriation bills and
ILLS separate items as they deserve,
re saves the taxpayers Of the State
many millions Of dollars. The know
edge that he has that power serves
J1D,-
ire. To withhold from the Presi
cent of the United States. similar
'ato powers is an offense against right !

made the sensational announcement
that the shipping board would require
cup to 100000, 00O' for the present
fiscal year. It was impossible, he de-
clared, ''to be sure whether that $780,
100000 represents all that we may
need; we may require more; but it
! is the most intelligent wild guess we
can make" Last year, he added,
there was an "absolute loss in the OPP
erations of the feet of approximately
! $20O,0O0,0O0. On the strength of the
figures he has presented, with the
approval of the President and Gen.
- ]i-'o"+H7 Of tho bureau of the
budget, Chairman Lasker is now ask
ing Congress for 1925, 100000 for the
next six months.
It is barely two months, as Repre-
sentative Bolee now reminds Congress,
since Comptroller TWeedale of the
United States Shipping Board, who
is on Chairman Lasker's staff, testified
before the House Appropriations Com
ro;ttee that "the operation of the
feet as a whole has not lost money
to the shipping board or to the United
States Government" During the pc
1921, the fleet, he said, operated at a
pIOuC VI p1 ,OOV3VNO' lac was WI
dent that the ships would maintain
themselves. Actually. out Of the OPP
Grafton of the ships s165,OQO,OOO bod
been turned over to construction in
stead Of having Congress make an
appropriation.
Whatever time during the few
weeks he has been in office Chairman
Lasker has spared for thoorugh in
vestigation of the shipping boards at
fai-'s or whether or not he is given
to 1mping at hasty conclusions, It re-
nqins true that his estimate of $780,
100000 for the shipping board, most
" for the operation of ships, for the
next year was, in his own words:
wild guess" His confession is fully
confirmed bv Comptroller Tweedale's
previous testimony.
To CONGRESS- the lesson must be
plain that Chairman Lasker's state
nents are not to be taken at their
ace but require large discount.
