senatorial passion for investigation
Is not only holding up national legis-
iation. 1t is also costing unpre-
ceoentedly large sums of money. For
the hscal year ending June 80. 1924,
senate officials inform this writer,
expenses of inquiries and investiga-
tons will amount TO roundly $780,
o00. That is twice and a half the
total salary and allowances received
by the President of the United States
Ordinarily the Senate budget sets
aside 100000 for inquiries and in
Vestigations. During the past two or
three years the appropriation has
never been exhausted. Usually $50
900 or. $4,000 has been returned to
the Treasury. But the present ses-
sion of Congress had not been long
in progress when il became evident
that a 100000 budget would be en-
tirely inadequate. 1t was decided TO
increase ii to S125.000. But oil
Daugherty, internal revenue, Box,
Russian propaganda and other inGUi-
sitions long since exhausted the ex-
panded budget. BY June so ii viii
have been necessary to provide for at
least S250,000, and probably more
than that. The Veterans Bureau in
vcstigation alone cost between $40
900 and $4,000. No estimates are yet
possible as to what tho oil and De-
partment of Justice inquiries will
cost a total of $4,000 each is
conservative guess.
investigation expenses pile up in "A
great variety of directions. one of
the heaviest items is the steno-
graphic bill incurred for reporting
and transcribing testimony. In the
amounted to more than $4,000. Wit
nesses summoned to testify receive
a per-diem allowance of SO day. in
addition TO railroad and travelling
expenses. In the case of persons
called from as far away as Texas or
the Pacific coast the cost of witness
es mounts TO high figures. Senatorial
committees frequently hire special
counsel and pay them as much as
500 a day. \ well known Washing
ton lawyer was employed as counsel
for a subcommittee of the foreign re-
lations committee in 1920, when the
former soviet ambassador, Martens,
was being investigated, and received
81 500 for seven weeks work. The
names of senator's themselves appear
frequently in the itemized accounts
of enquiries and Investigations"

scribing the realms Of detailed testi-
mony hey gave. The investigation
of Josephus Daniels administration
of the Navy Department during the
war. which occupied the Senate naval
affairs committee for three months
in 1920, was costly operation, TOO.
The firm OF shorthand reporters who
took down the, testimony was paid
S6. 900 for it's work. In 1919 the Sen
ate investigated the activities of
the Federal Trade Commission and
paid two special lawyers $4,000 for a
few months work. Shorthand re-
porters employed to cover the al
legged dye lobby" in 1922 put in a bill
for $3.407. A special clerk for the
Haiti-Santo Domingo investigation in
192l-22 was paid $4,000.
The. point has recently been raised
as to whether money now being
spent by Senate investigating COM
mittees-on the oil and Daugherty
inquiries in particular-is legally
spent Authorities who question the
right OF the Senate to act as a grand
jury" as Senator Borah alleges II is
doing. also question the right OF the
Treasury to finance the expenses of
such ''usurpation OF jurisdiction" If,
as various constitutional experts are
nowadays conteuding. the Legislative G
branch of the government is EN-
croaching upon the executive arm

out. there is no constitutional war

Circelli said he was pleading with
Powers for a payment to him of $4,000.
but that Powers insisted he was "a little
hard up because he had to raise $4,000
for Teapot Dome" The $4,000 had been
paid TO Powers on whisky deal, he
said. to pay taxes" on $50 barrels of
whisky. The deal. for my part, was
| legitimate" he added, but he never did
get his money from Powers.
Oelschlager took the stand and
said he heard Powers say that he and
parden. McGlynn and two others were
to put up $4,000 each toward lease
of Teapot Dome.
Il heard Powers say Darden had
contributed 5000, 900 to the republican
national campaign he added, and
was excused.
