A Disturbing Record
BH James T. WiLLian.s, Jr.

gress convened in 1889, under the
Presidency of George Washington,
until Woodrow Wilson began his
first administration as President
in 1918, the Congress Of the
United States appropriated the
total sum of $24,521 ,S45, 900.
Since March 4, 1888, two Con.
crosses have appropriated foH
spending by the Executive Branch
Of the Government-by Mr.. RooSe.
welt, Mr.. Farley, ct al-the total
sum of $32, 2,432, 2,448,3 ,343.
This total includes the laws
enacted in previous years pending
appropriation bills in the form
that they are now on their way
toward enactment.
In other words from the Begin
ming of the presidency of George
Washington-1789-to to the Begin
ming of the presidency Of Wood.
row Wilson, Federal appropri-
ations totaled in round numbers
twenty-four billion dollars.
From the beginning Of the Ad-
miniStration Of Franklin D. RooSe-
velt-1933-to 1887, the record
will show that Federal appropri-
ations will total thirty-two billion
dollars.
FACE THE FACTS
Slowly but surely the people
of the prairie country, where
thrift is q virtue and waste a
vice, are facing the fact that
the Administration for which
they voted in 1888 has taken
eight billions more out Of the
public treasury to finance its
operations, political and other.
wise, than all the Congresses
from the presidency Of George
Washington to the presidency
Of Woodrow Wilson apprOpri-
ated for expenditure by the Ex.
ecutive Branch Of the Federal
Government.
Governor Landon of Kansas, in
calling attention to the perils in
volved in such a record Of ex.
travagance and waste, has been
voicing the sentiments Of his own
people-Democrats as well as Re
publicans--through the prairie
country.
They voted four years ago for
a IS per cent reduction in Fed
eral expenditures; they voted for
a President and a Congress who
made that reduction an outstand-
ing pledge of their platform, an
outstanding feature Of their cam.
paign.
Is it surprising that they are
disturbed over the outlook as
they compare the spending rec
ord Of the Administration which

Thereafter he would be freed Of

The troubled man drove to

The farmer refused to part
with a single hair of his head.

equal representation in Congress.
The large States objected to this
because it gave the small States
as much voting power as the large
States.
Finally a compromise was pro-
posed and adopted. This pro"
vided for a Congress of two
branches: A House representing
the people and with representa-
ton proportioned to population,
and a Senate representing the
States, with each State having
an equal voice. In addition, this
has many other advantages. +

ARRESTING FIGURES

An examination Of the record
from the foundation Of the Gov
ernment up to the present, re
vealS the following arrestine
facts:
That all peace-time records
for Federal appropriations have
been smashed by the last two
Congresses which have been in
session since MIR. Roosevelt was
inaugurated.
That the Congressional ap-
prOpriatiOnS placed at the dis
pOSal of the Executive Branch
since MIR. Roosevelt came into
power "have run up to an ag-
gregate of practically thirty
two and a half billions of dol
lars"
This vast sum, as the News
points out, exceeds by almost
eight billions Of dollars the ag
gregate Of all appropriations made
by all Congresses during the first
124 years Of national existence Of
the Republic"
And to prove this startling as
sertion the following facts from
the record Of the Federal Govern
ment for the last 1875 years are
succinctly set forth:

sincerity with which the people
more and more deplore the
"suuandermania" to which the
country has been reduced by Mr..
Farley and the Administration OF
which he is the political boss.
Here are some facts and figures
which have been brought up to
date and are in no small measure
responsible for the alarm that is
spreading UP and down the Mis-
SisSippi Valley over the waste and
extravaganza of which the Ad-
ministration of the Federal Gov
eminent has been guilty since Mr..
Farley became the architect Of its
destinieS. This information was
first broadcast in the form Of a
compilation of a weekly magazine
of national affairs-the United

been brought up to date by the

more serious consideration in the
States Of the East, the South and
the Far West than they have yet
received.
