REDUCED BUDGET OF U.S., - GOOD DECLARES’ Nearly Three Billion Cut from Appropriations by Repub- lican Congress ANSWERS THE PRESIDENT Refutes Statement that Repub- licans Have Dodged or Re- fused to Amend Tax Laws if (Special to The Tribune) Washington, July | 8.—Representa- tive James W. Good, cl man of the -contmittee on appropriations in the house of representatives, replying to President Wilson’s. charge that Con- gress had taken no important legisla- tive action tending towards a reduc- tion in the high cost of livingsand a revision of the tax laws, declares that in the last two sessions the republican congress saved $2,710,290,495.80, by making reductions from the appro- priations estimated by the executive departments of ‘the government. Representative Good emphasizes the fact that the department of justice has all the legislative authority it request- ed for the prosecution of criminals in- cluding profiteers violating the Le- “The committee on ‘appro- of the house of representa- s had been r red held extensive hearings,” said Mr. Good. “That committee gave the $1,000,000 it requested and came to the conclusion that much of the other money, if appropriated, would be wast- ed in the employment of useless’ offi- cers and clerks; that. much of it was to carry'on a duplication of work in these various departments, and that the “ppropriations if made in full, would be largely, if not entirely was- ted.” | Refers to Statement, Mr. Good referred to a\statement of Victor Murdock, chairman of the fed- eral trade commission, to show that President Wilson had approved of an appropriation for the commission of $500,000, an amount far in excess of what it actually required to do its work. According to Mr. Good, $150,000 LAND BARGAIN 117 acres of land cornering the beautiful city of Bismarck, the capital of the ‘great state of North Dakota, | This land is reached by the N.

Although the de- partment did as requested by the Pres- ident and sent in its estimate of $500,- 000, “we found that we could do what work we could do beneficially on the high cost of living within our regular appropriation,” MrMurdock’ said in jgestimony before the appropriation committee. impressed with the Good, “that every vio- whether he be a prof- | lator of the | liteer or hoarder, who was unlawfw increasing the cost of the necessar j of life should be sent to prison, and it appropriated every dollar asked for by the department of justice for this purpose.

Recites Estimates. Good cites a recent estimate of ry of the treasury showing 855 at the end of the June 30. “Is this congress to be con- demned ‘because it refused to reduce taxes when the secretary of ‘the treasury estimated there may be an excess of expenditures over receipts of $4,316,890,855? What business con- cern,” s Mr. Sond. “finding its ex- pens were exceeding its revenues, would not attempt to find additional sources of revenue or reduce expend- itures The president would reverse the experience of the business world. When he finds that the expenses of the government exceed the revenues of the government he would, as shown by his estimates, increase expenses ant would at the same time cut off re- ceipts. “In response to the overwhelming demands for economy in the conduct of public affairs the democratic ad- ininistration turned a deaf.ear. Over xecutive objections the\republican congress attempted to put the govern- ment on a business basis. The budget bill, vetoed by. the president, would have brought about the most thorough organization for the conduct of the financial affairs of the government ever effected by any country.” BUILD HANGARS AT TWIN CITIES FOR MAIL PLANES Minneapolis, July, 8—Work of .con- structing the hangar at the Twin City aero (field will ‘begin at once, it was announced today after officers of the "Twin City Aero corporation signed a contract for the work, which is to be finished ‘in time for beginning the Chicago-Twin Citjes air mail service July 20. : The hangar’ is to be-byilt on funds supplied by the corporation and will cost about $14,000, the equipment in- cluding the machinery for the repair and overhauling of the planes.

Cox was chosen as the Democratic presidential nominee because William G. McAdoo couldn’t be nominated, and A. Mitchell Palmer couldn’t be elect- ed.” A veteran politician who refused to permit his namé to be used, thus terse- ly described the reason for ending the deadlock that had tied up the copven- tion from the time balloting began Friday until early today. He expressed the belief that only with Cox or McAdoo, ould the Demo- crats hope for success in the Novem- ber elections. Most of the strong party leaders .were lined up with Cox, he said, but even this backing would have been fruitless, had not a number of independent delegations finally swung to the Ohioan. ' Yow It Was Done. The ‘bosses’ were licked, even in putting their candidate over,” declared this politician, who is by way of being omewhat of a “boss” himself. ‘They put everything they. had behind Cox, but it was only when the delegates fin- ally decided themselves that they wanted him ‘that. he was nominated. This convention, to my mind, demon- gtrated that a group of independent delegates,. acting practically without leadership, could have keep the con- vention deadlocked all summer had they chosen. . “The Democratic nominee was decided ‘upon about 2 a. m, all-right, but it was out in the open, with more than a thousand persons—men and women—sitting in, and probably 10,000 others ‘looking’ on. Back in the early days of the pre- cohvention campaign McAdoo was generally regarded as the strongest of the Democratic candidates. But he and Cox refused to make a campaign, Palmer was the only aspirant to carry the fight’ outside his. home state. Palmer came to San Francisco—the only one of the ‘Big ‘Three’ to appear personally on the battleground—with the lead in instructed delegates. McAdoo’s Withdrawal. “Before the convention opened, MeAdoo issued ajstatement announc- ing his ‘irrevocable’ withdrawal. Such organization as had been built up around him was irreparably shattered. Many delegates who favored him took it upon themselves to mend his fences in a haphazard way. At the head of this loosely organized ‘political. mob’ sprang up Thomas B. Love of Texas, Samuel Amidon of Kansas, Dr. Burris Jenkins of Missouri Stewart Gibboney Robert Wooley of Washington,\D. C. E. H. Moore, yational committeeman from Ohio, was chief of the Cox cam- paign organization, With him was openly aligned Wilbur Marsh of Iowa, while Charles F, Murphy, Tammany leader and George Brennan of Illinois, were known to lean faworably toward the Ohio governor. omas Taggart of Indiana, wanted either Cox or Mc- Adoo. \ Heading ‘the Palmer camp was Charles C, Carlin of Virginia. His chjef lieutenant was Charles B. Spel- lacy of Connecticut. 5 The Cox strategy was. by far the most. ably planned and executed. The balloting opened ‘with McAdoo in |the lead, Palmer second and Cox, third, with considerable strength in reserve. McAdoo was soon passed by Cox. The lead then alternated between the Ohio- an and McAdoo. Palmer was never better than third after, the seventh ballot. Murphy and Brennan came out openly for Cox. When the, deadlock became apparent, Cox, McAdoo ‘and Palmer, in turn were each “given a run for their money.” Get Together Efforts.: During each recess, tentative efforts were made to get.together but the only basis,on which a compromise could be feached was a “dark horse’ ‘and lead- ers were unwilling to concede that their man had lost all chance for the nomination. McAdoo and Cox virtual- ly on a par when Palmer, through Car- lin’ released his delegates, The ma- jority of these, freed votes promptly lined up with Cox, putting him well in the lead. Taggart, who had. swung the Indiana delegation to McAdoo sev- eral ballots previously, then turned to Cox. ‘The fourth and final ballot, the Pennsylvania delegation—the nucleus’ of Palmer's strength, and after he re- leased it principally for McAdoo—went to Cox.
