Tt had money of Jast year and no appropriation was made for this year, but the Counel! asked for $150,000 in the General De- flelency bill now before the Senate. The Sonate, Appropriations Committee cut this to $40,000, and that amount} hae been awarded, The Council of Na- | tlonk! Dete ® the support of the, Secretary of War and many leading financiers and public men whose ap- -peals in its behalf were altached to the request for the deficiency appro- Priation of $150,000. LIKELY TO BE CUT OUT OF NEXT YEAR'S FUNDS. When this matter came before the Senate objection even to the dimin- ished appropriation of $40,000 was registered by Sen McKellar of Tennessee on the ground that the ‘work of the Council from now on wl! be, and for some time past has been, mere duplication of reports of Gov- ernment departments. Senator Hiteh- cock said he does not know anyiody ‘who reads the reports of the Council of National Defense. Senator Warren, Chairman of the ‘Appropriations Committee, and Sena- tor Smoot asked that the appropri tion be granted, and their advice pre- vailed. But in the course of the de- bate Senator Smoot said: “I wish to express the hope that loft over at the end | or (Is is the last request that will ever: © be made for an appropristion .or tho Council of National Defense.” From this it would appear that the Council of National Defe: is due for burial on July 1, but to put it out of business the law will have to be changed. In that event $820,000 will be saved to the tax- payers in addition to the $110,000 which was cut off the deficioncy appropriation which was asked for to carry the council up to June 30. Senator Warren, questioned about the salary drawn by the Director o/| the Council of National Defense, said | he had been told it wag $200 a week, | ®' but has been cut down because of the ack of appropriations. Senator Smoot sald: “Salaries of $10,000 a year have been paid to the directors of near- ly all the small bureaus that have been created.” The Public Health Service, now a part of the army, is coming in for a Jot of scrutiny on the part of membere of both Houses who are impressed by the necessity of cutting down ex- penses for next year and thus avoid- ing an immense treasury deficiency. ‘This bureau has been granted a defi- elency appropriation of $200,000 for expenses in quarantining New Orleans against the bubonic plague. Senator Ransdell of Louisiana said the Pub- lic Health Service turned back $208.- 900 to the Treasury last year, Sena- tor Smoot remarked: “If any such thing ever happened as the Public Health Service turning $208,000 back into the Treasury I am going to take the time to look it up, for I want to know when any such thing happens on the part of any of the departments of our Government. “Mr. President, only the other day the Public Health Service had intro- duced into this body a bill asking for $5,000,000 for the study and investi- gation of influenza, The Senate in its wisdom decided to give thei a tithe of that amount and appropriated $600,000 for the purpose. “I believe if there had not been ene five-cent piece appropriated the influenza situation in the United Sta would have been exactly as to-day. | do not think a dollar of that money spent in the United States has helped the situation.” Senator King of Utah, Democrat, who ts hot on the trail of the Public Health Service, said he would vote for the appropriation, but destred to make ew remarks. He said there are 3,000 physicians on the payrolls of the Public Health Service and many thousands of lay employees to help them. ator Ransdell reminded Sen- ator King that the Public Health Bervice takes care of human health and is not so generously ted as the Agricultural De- 6 BELLANS Hot water Sure Relief ELLA FOR INDIGESTION “Lost and Found" Word articles geen ut any of TP “Lost and Mouncl" advertise an be left at any of The Wor Advertising Agencies. or beter i directly to The @al! 4000 Yeekmen, New York, @F | | Brookiyn Office, 4100 Main, _ MAR BOOSTED COST OF UPLIFT WORK PROVING HEA eases of plants and animals at an bok of $31,000,000 or $32,000,- 000 a year. “A Tew years ago,” said Senator King, “when I had the honor to rep- my State in the House of Rep- resentatives, the Agricultural bill, as | remember, e@arricd $4,000,000. or 5,000,000, but we have by leaps and | bounds gone from that modest sum to what the Senator states now, namely thirty-odd million dollars, NO LIMIT TO SOME “VORACIOUS APPE’ ITES.” “Let ne say to the Senator that last year we appropriated for the Agricul- tural Depaftment more than $40,000,- 000, and, as I recall, the year before the appropriation for this departmont was nearer $50,000.000, The officials of the Agricultural Department would have rejoiced if they could have ob- tained $100,000,000, And .if we had given it to them they would have expended It, “There is no limit to the vora- cious appetite of the rtments and bureaus and execu jen- cies of tl Government.

They seem to be eager to spend and exhibit no desire to conserve. It is pitiful to witness the scram- bles for appropriations for exeou- tive agencies, and i: is a sorry page which records the wasteful expenditures of the Federal Gov- ernment. “The executive departments of the Government close their eyes and write checks for 8, and then expect Congress to apjectly lace their O. K. thereon and impose burdens and taxes upon the people to meet them.” Senator King asserted that the arnings of the people will shrink ten billion dollars in the next twelve months, MUST GET DOWN TO PAN,” SAYS KING. “It takes some tinfe,” he continued, “to react from the condition in which we found ourselyes duting the war to the normal conditions of an indefinite period and affects the judgment most people, but we must at the ea lest possible moment emancipate ourselves from the somewhat hys- terical and unbalancing influence which the world war produccd and «et down to hard, stubborn facts and realities of this biting world befor« us and practice the econorgies of real nuine, patriotic American citizen- “HARD ‘ant “capt: = tal, but “that whek nde are on the road to national bankrupt- t! i s not nec: jmake large Federal j@asarily mean prosperity, but often means ruin. “While it is true that the Public Health Service is an old service as a branch of one of the departments of the Government, it has taken on a swollen growth, if I may be permitted that expression, of late, I repeat that it Is not sat'sfied with what I conceive to be its legitimate and proper sphere of activity. It, like many other of the departments of the Government, seeks to increase its power and authority by inducing the States to co-operate with it, This is a favorite method of some Federal agencles—to spend some little money in the States and then urge the latter to induce Congress to| appropriations, provided the States make like appro- | priations.
