crooks in congressional is. out and
out grafters. or those who are will

senators or representatives who sell
their votes for money. and it is
pretty well known who those few

for legislation solely because they
think that it will help their politi.

Indignant senators were swift TO
call Barry to account. Sitting as a
trial court. they heard him admit

were bride takers and grafters In

More definite than these rumors was
the report that Jesse FL. Jones, EN-.
inent Democrat and business man
OF Houston. Texas, would be made
head of the Reconstruction Finance
corporation. He would succeed
Atlee Pomerene. whose appointment
as chairman by President Hoover
was blocked with all other nomina-
lions In the senate. Mr.. Roosevelt
will rely greatly on the Reconstruc-
tion Finance corporation and its
vast credit In carrying out his plans
in the new deal" and would receive
strong and able support from Mr..
Jones as its chairman.
DLENTY Of expert advice on ways
! of pulling the nation out of the
slough of desponc is to be offered
soon. First the senate finance CON-
mittee invited more than half hum
dred Of the nations leading men in
all lines to present their views on
the cause Of the economic depres-
sion and the needed legislative rem.
edies, and those views presumably
are now being formulated. Then
President-Ele Roosevelt sent to
the governors of the 4S states In
vitations to meet him in the White
House on March 6 to discuss means
OF solving national problems in
which the governments of the states
and the nation have a common vital
interest.
In his letter Mr.. Roosevelt said:
1T is my thought that we should
discuss for our mutual benefit GER
tain subjects. such as:
"(a) Conflicting taxation by fed
eral and state governments:
"(b) Federal aid for unemploy-
ment relief;
"(c) Mortgage foreclosures, espe-
c1ally on farm lands. and
"(d) Better land use by afforesta-
ton. elimination of marginal agri-
cultural land, flood prevention. etc.;
"(e) REORGANIZATION and consolida-
tion OF local government to decrease
tax COSTS"
1t is believed all or nearly all Of
the governors will accent Mr.. RooSe-
velts invitation gladly. All but ten
of them are Democrats and might
be expected to be In Washington for
the inaugural ceremonies.

He pointed out that what Barry had
written was but one sma.i voice in

and continued:

ment." The measure withholds au
thority to abolish or transfer al
executive department in its en-
tirety, though Senator Norris urget
that this privilege also be given tn,
Chief Executive. His proposal wa.
rejected because senators feared II
might lead to the combining of the
army and navy into one department
OF national defense, as has otter
been suggested. The bill as ap
proved by the senate grants the
new President much greater lati
tude than was asked by President
Hoover for the same purpose. The
executive orders will not become
effective until sixty days after be
ing submitted to congress unless
congress itself provides by law for
an earlier effective date.
Besides the grant of power to re-
organize the federal establishment
the senate moved toward further
economies by adopting an amend
ment offered by Senator Sam G..
Bratton of New Mexico, one of the
leading Democrats In the matter of
savings. It requires all depart
ment heads to cut their expendi-
lures for 1884 8 per cent; though
this must be done without cutting
wages-this being insisted upon by
Senator Costigan of Colorado. Mr..
Bratton estimated that his plan
would result in the saving Of about
$140,0OO.O00 in the cost of operat-
ing the government during the next
fiscal year. Other economy meas
ures attached to the bill. it was said.
would realize some 20 millions of
additional savings. One Of these
includes the enlisted personnel of
the army, navy and marine corps in
the present S1s per cent salary cut
affecting other federal employees.
In the house all kinds of attempts
. to economic were beaten during
consideration of supply bills. The
representatives even declined. by
an overwhelming vote. to reduce
their own salaries to $500 or
$1,000. opponents of the proposal ar
glIing that they could not afford the
cut and that lowering the pay
would make the house a "rich mans
club" and make 1t impossible for a
poor man to enter congress. The
proponents of the reduction were
denounced as demagogues.
