The Senate Appropriations Committee
in reporting to-day the deficiency appro-
priation bill eliminated many items OF
so-called emergency appropriations"
but at the same time recommended in
creases In the 500. .O0o.0 carried in the
bill as it passed the House. aggregating
S53.S50.0 900. OF which s50.000,0o0 repre-
sents a net increase in the appropriation
for the Shipping Board.
The practice, which grew up among
heads of departments and bureaus dur
ing the Wilson Administration, of ex-
ceeding the appropriations made by
Congress for the current year and then
asking for emergency" appropriations

deficiencies thus incurred. is going to be
stopped. Senator Curtis of Kansas. as
a member of the Appropriations Com

revive interest In a statute passed sew

punishable by summary removal from
office, with fine or Imprisonment, for
any head OF an executive or other gov
ernmental department to eXpend in any
fiscal year any sum In excess of the
appropriations made by Congress for the

New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., May 81.
Opinion is almost unanimous among
authorities on Government expendi-
lures that the army and navy offer
by far the most promising fields for
economy. But the army and the navy
are the chief items of Government
costs because they are delimited in
their expenditures at the present time
not by considerations Of a fiscal ma
ture but by national policies.
Thus far there has been very little
saving except what money automatical-
ly saved itself through the termination
of war operations and the gradual
shrinkage In the great war outfit. But
there are still numerous special activi-
ties, some necessary and some unnec-
essary, which bring the annual cost of
the War Department up to four times
it's expenditures in 1914.
Congress has reduced the appropria-
tions for both the army and navy but
as the following table shows. they are
spending almost as much as II the full
allowance asked had been granted:
Army 1921. 1922.
Estim. asked for. 81 .241 ,573 f26 $93S 227 ,567
Appro tions granted 4s4. .439,435 '4o0. 900 900
Expenditures 1927. 100000 1863. .75o 900
Estim asked for. 5oo.1s $50 ee5. .7es. .7s7
Appro'tions granted 44o.f26 ,9e4 s400, 900 900
Expenditures 6o7. 100000 s545. 5.225. 900
ESTIMATED.
In the case of the navy, for the fiscal
year 1921 the expenditures are running
more than $500. .000, 900 ahead OF appropria-
tions and more than $l00.0O0.000 ahead Of
the original amount asked by the Demo-
cratic Secretary of the Treasury. The
army has shot beyond the navy in this
respect and is spending more than
double It's appropriations, although not
as much as the estimates called for.
But this margin under estimates is not
saving by the army. The reason II Is
not spending the full amount of its esti-
mates Is not due to the restrictions in
appropriations, but because the army's
activities in Europe and elsewhere have
been curtailed by changes in national
policies not expected at the time the
estimates were submitted.
Nnvy's Cost Depends on Sire.
In the navy. national policies alone
influence the amount OF money spent
II we are to have a large navy 1t will
cost in proportion to It's size. There is
no doubt in the mind of Government
leaders that at least sooo.O0 oco could be
sitved in the navy in the coming year
if some practical move were made to
halt the building of more ships But
II this Is not done there is no hope for
reduction In naval expenditures.
The army is n different matter There
is almost universal agreement among
Congressman that the United States
does not need large army In peace
times. and that the 100000 men who
have had military training within the
last five years constitute a reserve army
large enough to make unnecessary the
expenditure of large sums for training.
Yet these sums are being spent In larger
amounts than in pre-war years when We
The New York herald., 1921-06-01

had no reserve army. There has like
wise been a great increase in the pay
and subsistence costs of the army. and
this absorbs the main part of the funds
set aside for the military establishment.
Total appropriations for the army in
1914 were $191 900 000. Total appropria-
tions for the fiscal year ,a21 were $4Sa.-
900, 900, in round numbers. In 1914 the
military establishment or the army
proper. absorbed sos. .o00,0 600. and in 1927
1t took 39i.o00,O0o. II will thus be seen
that the civil and executive staffs of the
army cost about the same now as in
1914, or In the neighborhood of $1O000o.-
0O0 Where the increases have gone Is
shown in as plain manner as possible
without reprinting the entire appropra-
tions, i'm the following items taken from
the approximations for the military

The 1922 bill. which passed the House
but not the Senate at the last session,
carried appropriations of s34e. 100000.
II has been cut this session in committee
to s331. 900. 900. but is expected to be
passed finally by both branches Of Con-
gress with appropriations nearer the
larger figure. The House wants ar army
of only 10000. but the Senate is ex-
pected to insist on an army of about
$4,000 The difference IN these figures.
however, would not make much differ
cnce in the appropriation. The 1922 ex-
pendltures, as estimated by Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon and given in the
first table. will exceed appropriations
anyhow.
Where the real savings could be ef
tected, as shown in the above list. aside
from a reduction in the size of the army,

The above list comprises only those
items for the upkeep of the army which
show an increase or were not included
at all in the 1914 appropriations. And
as these items will go into the 1922 army
appropriations about as they were in
the 1921 fiscal year there will be little
saved In the way of expenditures.

Der of party of five negroes which
stormed the Fairfield City jail last
night is dead and another is in Jail

TO THE PUBLIC

Our Offices are now located at No.
2, South Magnolia street, west side
of the public square, in the Masters
block. Increased patronage of the
Florida House, and the rapid growing
business of our own, forced US to
hunt larger quarters for our Office.
We wish to thank the management of
the Florida House for the many ia
vors shown US, and it is with regret
that they haven't sufficient room to
continue to take care of US. We still
have our motto hanging on the wall
which reads: "He profits most who
serves best" We have endeavored to
live according to this motto, and are
now prepared to give better service

fact that Ocala is the most centra

Tallahassee, April 26.-The House
OF Representatives has Joined scores
of Florida newspapers in taking to
task Ella Pearl Smith, editor of the
Clinton (Mo) Eye. for articles pub

the legislators, contain untrue and
"scurrilous" references to Florida.
Miss Smith was member of the Ma

several hundred others affiliated with
that organization, recently toured
Florida after the national convention
in st. Augustine. The House has
adopted the following resolution cali

Whereas, these series of articles
contain much that is not true and are
very misleading as to the true condi-

Whereas, it seems that the motive

An Experiment
! Lime, Oil and Sand Combined in Try
ing to Make Model Street


A Star reporter. Tuesday afternoon,
witnessed work being done as an ex-
pertinent in paving on Dougherty
street between Oklawaha and Adams
Mr.. John r. Martin, street super
intendent, supervised the job. with
the active assistance of Messrs. C. G.
Rose of the Lake Weir Sand Com
pany, Mr.. R. E. Baker of the Texas
Oil Company and several others,
while Mack Taylor and the Star man
looked on with benevolent interest.
The women and children living on
that part of the Street regarded the
performance with as much intelligent
attention as tho it was a circus
The main part of the work had al
ready been done by Mr.. Martin and
his force. A heavy layer of lime rock
had been laid down and rolled until it
was smooth. On this. Tuesday aft
ernoon, a coating of crude oil was
poured from the county distributing
machine, which heats the oil before
showering it on the street. The oil
was supplied by Mr.. Mack Taylor,
whose home-is on the street, and who
takes great interest in good streets
for all the city. All along the side
walks were piles of fine sand, con-
tributed by the Lake Weir Sand Com
pany. The distributor, after its tank
was filled with oil, and the oil heated
| to the proper temperature by the big
gasoline burner under the tank, mov-
ed by its own power along the street
pouring the oil in even streams, put
ting on a regular coating of the fluid
Right after the distributor came mer
with shovels, who shoveled the SAND
from the piles on the sidewalk and
with it covered the oil.
Anybody acquainted with road work
can understand that this combination
will make a smooth, elastic and
strong highway. one that it costs
comparatively little to lay down anG

rolled today, and as soon as possible
will open it to traffic. He wants the
people to 60 and witness the expert
