The Republican National Commit
tee said today that President Roose-
welt and his spending ,nasters-gen-
eral" were able to spend "only one
third Of the $4.ss0 100000 appro-
priated for relief during the first half
Of the fiscal year.
"Only $1,672, 1894. .3061s actually had
been expended by December 81. 1885,"
the committee said.
In a statement, the committee add
ed that -four unexplained reasons the
report on 1885 (relief) activities, al
though sent to Congress. has never
been published nor made accessible to
the press"
Quoting from the annual report,
the committee said "it appears that
most of the spending agencies set up
to relieve distress and unemployment
have been unable efficiently to func-
tion."
''The majority of them" It said.
"are begged down with a surplus of
funds which they know not how to
use, with the result that millions
upon millions lie idle while the un-
fortunates, for whose benefit these
moneys were set aside. suffer because
of inefficient, incompetent admin

Whether this will be done remained
question in the minds of many
legislators, especially in view Of a
pessimistic unemployment summary

Federation of Labor. 1t placed the
number Of jobless in January at

ment, which. 1t said, can be effected
without hurting anybody"
Harper Sibley, chamber of COM
merce president, sent letter to
legislators asking retrenchment and
opposing the billion-dollar Norris
rural electrification bill.
(This bill, which originally called
for annual appropriations of $780,
100000 over a 10-year period for
loans to public bodies and cooper
ating agencies to carry electricity to
farm homes, has been put aside tenn
porarily in the Senate to study the

II was indicated that before decid-
ing on the kinds of taxes to be levied,
the House Ways and Means Commit
tee will hear suggestions from Secre-
tary Morgenthau.
Senator La Toilette, Progressive. of
Wisconsin and others were pushing
for broader income tax program,
but some other legislators were op-
posed. Representative Cullen. Demo-
crat, of New York, a member of the
House Ways and Means Committee,
declared new income taxes would be
a last resort; that every other avenue
would be explored first.
To raise some of the $786, 5000 900,
Speaker Byrns favors a tax on undis-
tributed corporation profits.
There already has been much talk
OF taxes akin to the old A. A. A.
processing levies, but spread over a
larger array of commodities. For ex-
ample. some administration advisers
suggested that the old processing tax
on pork might be reduced from S2.25
on 100 pounds to rs cents and a
compensating tax placed on beef and
other meats which benefited by the
previous price increase in hog products.
