Seek Reviewing Power.

BY JAMES E. CHINN.

The House subcommittee on ap-
preparations applied finishing touches
to the 1886 District supply bill today
and made preparations to have it
placed on the House calendar before
the end of the week.
Behind closed doors the subcommit-
tee. headed by Representative Can
non, Democrat, of Missouri, went over
the controversial items in the Budget
Bureaus estimates and whipped the
appropriation bill into shape to send
to the Government Printing Office.
If the present House program is
followed, the District measure prob
ably will be called up for consideration
next week Immediately after dispo-
sition of the independent Offices ap-
preparation bill, which has been given
the right of way.

Chairman Cannon and other men,
bers of the subcommittee have inti-
mated the bill will carry appropria-
tions totaling s41000,0 approxi-
mately the same amount as recon-
mended by the Budget Bureau. The
subcommittee, however, is understood
to have made a few changes in the
budget items. but in the juggling proc
eSs did not materially alter the total
Some of the items are said to have
been decreased and others increased.
Cannon said the subcommittee had
given careful consideration to the
Budget Bureau recommendations and
pointed out it had done good job
of estimating District needs for 1896.
Representative Jacobsen, Democrat, of
Iowa, another member of the sub
committee. voiced similar opinion.
Representative Blanton, Democrat,
OF Texas. one of the most active men,
bers of the subcommittee, declined to
comment on the budget recommenda-
tions. but promised to say plenty
when the appropriation bill is called
up for consideration. He revealed

fixed as the Federal obligation to the
expenses of the District, despite the
possibility that this figure may be
altered as a result of the tax study
being made by Treasury experts at
the direction of President Roosevelt.
Cannon. however. explained that if
the President recommends an increase
the change can be made later, either
in the House or Senate.
The result of the tax study is ex-
pected to be known this week, ac-
cording to information from the
Treasury, which will make it possible

EMPLOYERS DRAFT
INSURANCE PLAN
Capital Groups Program
Would Protect Those Max.
ing Under $4,000.

Believing Congress soon will adopt
legislation providing some kind of un-
employment insurance, group OF
leading Washington employers yester-
day drew up plan outlining their
preference
1t would protect only employees max
ing under $4,000 a year. Employers
would contribute per cent Of pay
rolls on salaries under $4,000, en-
ployes / per cent of their salaries. to
establish an unemployment reserve" :"
The plan adopted also urged that
the State, or here the Federal Gov
ernment. contribute to the fund a
sum equal to the amount contributed
by the employers.
Meeting One Of Series.
The group met in the Willard Hotel,
With w. w. Everett, vice president of
Woodward 6, Lothrop. presiding, and
Edward D. Shaw. secretary of the Mer-
chants & Manufac cturers' Association,
serving as secretary.
The meeting was one of l83 similar
meetings held in cities throughout the
country under general Craftsmanship
of Samuel w. Reyburn. president of
the Associated Dry Goods Corp. OF
New York, to consider various forms
Of unemployment legislation now be-
fore Congress.
An employe making more than
$4,000 year would not be required to
contribute anything, nor would his
employer for him, Mr.. Shaw ex-
planned, the theory being person
making more than that sum would be
able to set up his own reserve. Those
making under it, however. would con-
tribute the / per cent toward setting
up a reserve for themselves or fellow
employees getting salaries under S2,0CO
per year, it was explained.
Difference of Opinion.
There was a difference of opinion
as to methods through which the re-
serves should be set up. The majority
favored a Statewide pool. which, il
was explained, aims to assist those
industries with the greatest fiuctua-
tions in employment Others favored
pool by an industry or group of in
dustries, while still others favored a
segregation system by individual EN-
ployers.
The record of the vote here was sent
to New York headquarters, where,
under the chairman. consensus OF
business men from all over the coun-
try is being compiled.

to-$1 ,20o-per-man limit set by the
President for most projects. This ex-
penditure would include wages, ma

Chevalier said this would preclude

would be the same type of spending
that characterized the Civil Works
Administration and that was written
off as wasteful failure" Mcdonald
said the limit set would be insufficient
for anything but low-cost improve
ment."
Apparently as one Of the "excep-
tions" to the $1,100 rule, the Allot-
ments Committee yesterday recon-
mended an additional $23,000.00O for
