HOUSE KEEPING
BETTER CHECK
ON EXPENSES
Senate Side More Free
With Its Money,
Report Shows.
Following is another in the series con-
corning expenses at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Except
for little splurging here and there,
the house of representatives appears
to have taken it's miscellaneous ex-
penses in hand, and to have held
them in better check than in the
past. This is indicated in the re-
ports of the clerk of the house just
filed.
Speaker John N. Garner dis
pensed with his official automobile
when the Democrats came into
power. Although his predecessor,
Nicholas Longworth, died in April,
1881, the Speakers automobile was
being charged with gas and repairs
for months afterward.
Six months after Longworth died,
bills for gasoline averaging about
forty gallons a month were being
charged against the allowance for
the Speakers automobile. This was
long after the Speakers car had
been sold, at bargain price, to the
senate.
Garner Uses Tsxicab
Garner uses a taxicab between
the capitol and his hotel. Vice
President Charles Curtis and his
hostess, Mrs, Gam, continue to ride
in the handsome limousine which
the senate provides with chauffeur
and trimmings The chauffeur is
paid $3.50 month. The car uses
about $50 gallons of gasoline a
month.
When Democrats prepared to take
over control of the house a little
more than a year ago, they laid in
a supply of 48 hair brushes and
IA clothes brushes.
For Representative Joseph Byrns
Dem. TENN, who moved into the
quarters of the appropriations
committee of which he has Just be-
come chairman, the house bought
brass andirons and fireset costing
$44.
Similar fireplace equipment was
bought for Representative A. S.
Prall dem, N. ", one of the old
clerks reports for 1868, shows pur-
chases of andirons and fireplace
equipment costing $40, for each of
several members, showing that
times do not change.
Senate Free With Coin
The senate side is more free with
its money. For about fifty members
of the capitol building special police
force maintained by the senate, 444
neckties were bought in the last
year.
These police are, except for a
nucleus of veterans, largely political
appointees. A number of them are
college students, who sit at desks
near the various entrances at the
capitol and study their law or
anatomy while preserving the peace.
However, they are compelled to
put in eight hours a day for seven
days week. Regular Washington
police have no jurisdiction over the
congressional buildings.

 REPORTED FOUR STATES

SPOKANE, April 14.-The Spo- kane Federal Land Bank, which serves the four states of Montana, Washington, Idaho and Oregon, re- ported land sales of over $25,000,- 900 for the month of January.
 This figure surpasses the figures for many previous months and is an indication that the jobless who are thronging the cities are be- ginning to trek back to the farms. Labor experts are heartened by this movement as every one who goes back to the farm means just one less in the unemployment of a city.

DRAGGING A MILESTONE

No better sime could be drawn of the relations of Governor Parks to Alaska than that of one dragging milstone in effort to progress.
 There is well-established principle of law that al mans reputation cannot be proved by specific act Therefore, it is necessary to set up bill of indictment embodyng sufficient facts to constitute of action
 So let review few of the acts of the Governor and anayze their purport relating to the advancement of the Territory purely in material sense gossng his reactonary acts they relate to purely political ques tons.
 Each annual message since he assumed the duties of Governor, has teemed with ringing note of pessmlsm reactionary mpedimenta and without geam of anything smattering of even embryonic statesmanship.
 Wherever called upon to act as spokesman on i'm portant matters such is expected of Governor he has procrasnated mpeded Take the case of the loss of Colonel Carl Ben Eieson He crushed any effort to have U S. Army planes to Alaska and assist in the search for the who taught the U S. Army Air Ser vice navigation of the Arctic and sacrificed his life in pioneering new and dangerous commercial fields
 Take any effort the part of the elected represen- tatves of Alaska to clary political problems and work out cooperative program with the Federal government and we find him out-herodng Herod in his reactlonary obstinacy
 Differing from every Governor who has occupied the position for the past decade he has sought to impede and thwart populatng Alaska.
 Here is the last sample of his "crusher methods in this line.
 In issuing warning to aborers seeking jobs in AL aska he not content to issue blanket warning against all settlers but used these words:
 "While our mining industry is on the upgrade and gold production this year probably will be larger than last which the largest in decade it affords no field for employment to transents. Alaska mines abun- dantly supplied with labor from local communities.
 Alaskan communities and the Territorial govern ment during the past winter have managed to provide necessary employment relief by taking heroic measures They have stretched their financial resources in this work and cannot go further than they now going If they nemployed) have funds above transportation necessities, they exist comfortably and better where they than they in Alaska where living costs are necessarily higher than in the States prOper
 In other words, breadine and bunk in flop house is preferable to cabin and of fue food and comfort.
 Here he combines misleading and incorrect state ment as to mining opportunities with another one when he claims that one may live better cheaper and more comfortable in the popous centres of the States than in Alaska!
 Time was when the pioneer could take care of himself anywhere because he had liberty and could exist on the land until agencies of employment with develop ment Had this not been the case, the Governors own city of Denver would have been hamlet like the many in Alaska made by the restriction imposed by those who

HYATTSV|LLE IN
QUARREL OVER
ROAD TAX
Deficit for Improvement Borne
by Those Not Benefited,
Is Charge

A $4,000 bill for improve
ments on Wine Avenue has
divided Hyattsville into rival
camps.
Argument arose from the fact
that when the street was rebuilt
recently, adjoining property own
ers were assessed 1851 cents per
frontage foot instead of IS, which
it had been estimated would IL
nance the Improvements.
Vigorous protests on the part
of affected property owners re-
suited in a counter proposition
on the part of the mayor and
town council reducing the assess
ment to $3.50 per front foot.
This counter proposal was made
despite opposition on the part Of
half the councilmen who held out
for the original assessment. Mayor
L. L. Gray had to vote to break
the tie and force the measure
through.
Opponents of the lower assess
ment say that it means that
$4,000 will have to be taken from
the road assessments paid in by
other residents to finance i'm.
provements that benefit only
property owners on Wine Avenue
