The other question is, how will
Congress appropriate the money?
Will they give it to Mr.. Roosevelt as
they have in the past, as a lump
sumo" Or will they "earmark' the
money. itemize the appropriation,
state in detail how the money is to
be spent?
increasingly Congress is disposed to
do 1t the latter way. For Congress
realizes that when they give Mr..
Roosevelt blank check, they give him
a hold on themselves. AS it is put
by Mr.. Arthur Krock in the New York
Times: If Mr.. Roosevelt can get his
billion to spend as he wishes-a blank
check-he will in most things be able
to dominate Congress again. A lump
sum without strings is more than
money; it is a giant of power"
Makes Him Santa Claus.
Let us see just how it is that lump
sum gives so much power to Mr..
Roosevelt 1t is the process by which
Mr. Roosevelt became a Santa Claus
I can explain by example;
About the incident here recorded, l
know only what is in clipping from
the Springfield, Ohio, Daily News. The
story is given a first-page, eight
column headline, rejecting a natural
local qualification. The point Of the
story is in a telegram received from
Washington The telegram is sent by
Springflelds Representative in Con-
gress Arthur w. Aleshire of the sew
enth Ohio district:
president Roosevelt advised me this
morning that he is approving alloca-
ton of s262,264 for a project to i'm
prove roads in Clark County"
As if to make clear that this is an
exceptional Federal gift, something
above and more choice than the ordi-
nary sort of thing, Representative
Aleshire adds that the roads to be
improved ARE not part of the Fed
eral-aid highway system; the money
is to be used for county-owned
property"
The Daily News explains that the
project will employ approximately 400
men for 10 months. and that it will
start instantly upon a 'go-ahead'
signal from (the) State w. P. A. di-
rector
Let us look at what preceded Repre-
cont tive AleShire'S telegram First
Congress passes a very large appropri-
alton, an appropriation of billions.
Congress passes it as a lump sum. y

Control of the Purse
In New Relief Fund Will President Disburse 1t or Will
Congress Hold Its Powers?

What next happens is, as respects
this case. surmise. But it conforms
to what goes on in hundreds of SINH
lar cases. Either it occurs to Clark
County that 1t would like to have some
of the money and Clark County asks
Representative Aleshire to get some.
Or it occurs to Representative Aleshire
that Clark County would be pleased
to have some. In either case, the
usual way for the Representative to
get the money is to ask the President
Cor a subordinate of the President) to
let Clark County have some of the
money. Graciously, the President
complies-"President Roosevelt ad-
vised me this morning that he is ap-
proving the ALLEGATION"
Who now gets the credit? Who re-
ceives the pleased gratitude of Clark
County and the voters therein?
The beneficiary of the credit is
President Roosevelt-it is from him
that the money comes. Keep quiet,
you taxpayers. we will talk about that
some other time) Part of the credit
goes to Representative Aleshire, but
what he gets is only secondary, it Is
coat-tail credit.
The Representative, in order to get
a share of the credit, must be first
obeisant to the President and then
grateful to him. The gratitude is Or
dinarily expressed by voting for the
Presidents measures. Whether Rep
resentative Aleshire does this in the
present case, I do not know. It is
the practice Of most Congressmen In
Mr.. Aleshire's circumstances.
A Chronological Point.
observe that Mr.. Aleshire's tele-
gram announcing that he has got an
ALLEGATION from the President is print
ed on April r. Four days preceding.
on April 8, Congress voted on the
Presidents reorganization measure. In
this juxtaposition of dates there may
be no significance Whatever-I do not
know of any. Yet I imagine we can
take 1t for granted Representative Ale
shire voted for the Presidents meas
ure. I could verify this point by walk
ing across the room to consult the file
Of the Congressional Record But I
feel l do not need to- Just for fun,
Ill take chance and say Representa-
tive Aleshire voted for the Presidents

apologize abjectly. But do not press
the point about Mr.. Aleshires voting
I know nothing about it, or about him.
I am merely using his case as a basis
for commenting on general practice.
to explain the working of system
just now important Mr. Aleshire must
be good man; he is the first Demo-
crat ever elected to Congress from his
district. II now Congress adopts a
different practice, if Congress ear
marks and itemizes the appropriation,
in that event. Representative Aleshire
would word his telegram differently.
He would wire: Congress this morn

County" Congress would get the
credit, not the President Congress
would show that it, and not the Presi-
dent. has that great historic leverage
