OF
BUDGET APPARENT

Washington, March 31.-Sena-
torial dignity takes unkindly to
the suggestion of a budget rule
on Senate appropriations, accord
Ing to a consensus Of opinion.
A movement now under way to
have all appropriations referred
to a single committee on appro-
prlations. will meet with stren-
uous opposition from members of
other committees. At present a
dozen committees are empowered
to recommend appropriations in
connection with bills upon which
they officially report. The new
movement would strip all these
bodies of the power to recommend
the spending of government mon
ey and would necessitate indepen-
dent action by the committee on
appropriations.
Senator Warren, Republican,
Of Wyoming, Is father Of the bill
which would change the spend
Ing powers Of Senate committees
His measure will arouse opposi-
ton upon both sides of the Senate
unless some alleviating amend
ment is added to 1t.
Senator Jones, Republican, Of
Washington, desires that the ap-
propriation committee have pow
er to pass upon all appropriations
but be stripped Of any power to
institute legislation dealing with
appropriations. He recommends,
in an amendment before the Sen
ate, that each committee of the
Senate be empowered to suggest
appropriations, but that the ap-
preparation committee alone shall
have the power to recommend the
expenditure to the Senate.
Some of the Democratic senti-
ment is reflected by Senator
Fletcher, of Florida. 81 think the
senate should move very cautious
ly in changing rules governing
appropriations" he said. 81
should not like to see other COM
mittees surrender their authority
to pass appropriations. 1t is too
great a change"

CONTRACT REPAIR
WORK EXPENSIVE

Washington, Mar. 81. - Con
tracts with outside locomotive
construction companies during
1920 for the repair of engines
cost the New York Central and
Pennsylvania railroads each ap-
proximately $3,0O0,OOO more
than the same work would have
cost In their own shops, the inter
state commerce commission found
today after an investigation.
The Atlantic Coast Line rail
road however, which also con-
tracted repair work out to loco
motive construction shops during
1920, was Justified in so doing,
the commission held. even though
1t also incurred excessive costs,
Five members of the commission
dissented from findings of the ma
iority censuring the Pennsylvania

EMPIRES TOPPLE
WORRIES BR|T0NS
BY David NJ. Church

London, March 31--Disintegra-
tion of the British Empire is a
subject occupying a great deal of
consideration in political circles
here.
Whether or not a Forthcoming
general election and persistent at
tacks on the Lloyd George govern
ment have anything to do with
these discussions, 1t is fair to
state that the people of Britain
are wondering what the future
Of their Empire holds.
With Ireland becoming a Free
State. with the Egyptian protec-
crate all but gone, and with SER
ious unrest In India, statesmen
and politicians are discussing the
reasons for the general dissatis-
faction with British rule. Op-
Donents of Lloyd George are not
backward in blaming the present
state of afafirs upon the admin
istration of the present govern
ment, while supporters of Lloyd
George are insistent that the un-
rest In the British Empire Is but
another of the aftermath results
of the war.
"Are we losing our governing
instinct?" asks Lord Rothermere,
a brother Of Lord Northcliffe, in
discussing the subject. "Are the
qualities which In past centuries
have made Britain feared and res
pected throughout the world dis
appearing from amongst us?"
"Lest We Perish"
1--WE must find an answer to
these questions lest We perish
from the earth as other great en-
pires have perished in the past
Revolution flourishes under
enfeebled governments and the
true reason why rebellions are
breaking out in various parts of
the British Empire is that we
have got the Leeblest and the
most incompetent government of
modern times"
Horatio Bottomley, member of
Parliament and stormy petrol of
British publicists, declares that
he is mot at all happy about the
present look of things in various
parts of the British Empire.
ireland, Egypt, India-and
some Of the colonies-constitu
today a sorry satire on that new
world which was to be envolved
from the war. 1t was a truism,
and a platitude, during the days
of Armageddon that nothing
would ever be the same again;
but l never thought the words
meant that even this old Empire
Of ours-the herltage Of centuries
have to be thrown on the
scrap heap with other played -out
civilizations"
Discounting political machina-
tions, 1t is generally admitted
that the leaders of thought in
Great Britain are apprehensive,
to say the least, concerning the
trend Of events throughout the
British Empire.

blamed for adding 1t into rents,
profits and price of land.
An income tax collected on a

Is bolshevism pure and simple, be-

She would like to come back to

for men and women to earn more

Give Americans a free field, from
a bootblaek stand to do

in Clackamas county has made
half a million on spuds in the

No but he is to be put on the
